E3 2021 (June 10th - 15th) Starts today 2pm EST

[Jussi]

Yea, you apparently aren’t.

Gamers Are Losing Interest in Racing Games (Even Though They're Getting Better)

That was like an op-ed. No numbers to prove his point.

 

[Beau Knows]

Out of how many gamers in the world? 2.8 billion. So yea...that’s EXTREMELY small.

24,000,000 is not a "handful of gamers"

Mario Kart 8 has sold 43,000,000 copies. It's the best selling game on both the Wii U and the Switch, but nobody likes racing games apparently.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Might not be a broundbreaking showing from Nintendo tomorrow:

 

[Blitzkrug]

Nobody has anything to show. They all had to deal with the same pandemic the rest of us did.

For Nintendo you'll probably get some indie shit, a smash character reveal (we're due for the next one) and then that's probably it

Though she is working for Sony now....

 

[Osprey]

Microsoft had a lot to show. They must've shown off or teased 15 games, give or take. Granted, they own a lot of studios, but it probably raised expectations that everyone would have as much to show. Even if Sony, Nintendo and others don't have much gameplay to present, they could still put together teasers like Starfield and The Outer Worlds 2 got to give their fans something.

Might not be a broundbreaking showing from Nintendo tomorrow:

Just show us something about the games we know are in development and it's a success.

Please, don't try to compare Mario Kart, a game that is fun, with boring sim racing games like Forza that barely has a following.

You think the Forza Horizon games are sim games? Dude have you ever played a sim racing game?

Also funny that you've now shifted from "nobody likes racing games", to "nobody likes racing games, except for Mario Kart, which is a racing game".

I didn't watch much but I feel pretty excited from what I''ve seen, Granted as an adult/parent I don't have the time to blast through games like I did in the old days, but they showed more than enough good looking stuff to keep me busy for a long time. And with how many of them are going to be day 1 on Game pass all the better, hell I am looking forward to playing with Flight Simulator when it finally hits the console next month, I know it isn't something I would play enough to pay the full price for but I'll give it a go on GP. There is finally a light at the end of the covid tunnel

It's a really impressive simulator, I had fun with it for a few hours even though it's not really my thing.

Here we go! Please be good!

 

[Gardner McKay]

So far not bad.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Mario Party Superstars looks cool.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Metroid Dread [Metroid 5]! This October!

 

[Beau Knows]

Not sure if I'm a fan of the art style of that 2D metroid game.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Metroid Dread is real!!!

 

[Josepho]

I dunno, I was really hoping for a 3D (or at least 2/3D hybrid) for Metriod. Thought it'd look really cool on the switch.

Still will get.

 

[Gardner McKay]

This Wario game needs to be erased from existence.

 

[robertmac43]

I have wanted a new Advanced War game for soooo long! Wow this is kind of cool!

 

[Beau Knows]

Not a whole lot of interesting stuff announced there

 

[robertmac43]

They have saved the Zelda announcement!

 

[Gardner McKay]

Not much on BOTW 2 but I'll take it. Looked awesome.

 

[Emperoreddy]

They threw us some BOTW2 crumbs finally.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Not surprised it's not coming out until 2022 but I can wait.
