Tildes E3 Bingo?
So, it seems bingo cards of hype or disappointment have become all the rage nowadays, and with E3 coming up in a few days I was wondering is Tildes wanted to make their own hype/disappointment bingo card. Feel free to chime in with suggestions.
Here's a few:
"Microsoft does something actually cool." - wishful thinking, but I love my xbox and just want to see it flourish.
"Video Game movie announcement that doesn't look like shit" - how hard can this be?
"Sony gets exclusive content" - this is just me being bitter about the exclusive dlc in PS4 Destiny.
"God of War sequel" - I know it's guaranteed to happen at some point, but it would be hype if they dropped some sort of teaser or something even though it's incredibly early.
"0 charisma presenters" - why can't these studios just hire someone to hype them up?
"Awful fucking 'gamer' dialogue" - you know what I'm talking about. Just look up E3 last year with Anthem.
"Over-focusing on a lack of microtransactions" - this point is gonna be over sold so hard because of Battlefront.
Definitely: "Beloved franchise from yesteryear receives HD remaster" -- bonus if it's a timed exclusive :D
To be fair, most of the recent "remasters" are near useless on PC anyways. With modding (and sometimes not even that) you can get the same or better quality on the base game...
Can we get one for "Trailer for game that causes its hype train to go flying off the rails and raises expectations way too high"?
And you know what happens when a train flies off the rails. It crashes catastrophically.
"Company tries to sugarcoat blatantly anti-consumer decision"
"Celebrity presenter who obviously doesn't care about games that much"
"Dancing onstage"
"Fake console gameplay that is actually pre-rendered and running on a beast PC" is a pretty safe bet. Bonus points if it has fake voice comms in the footage too. Extra bonus points if it's a fake youtuber/twitch streamer.
The industry has moved beyond just beast pcs to showing gameplay that is largely pre-rendered.
