I thought Pure Xbox was Europe based, just like Nintendo Life and Push Square? If so, maybe also reference different times from the US ones?
First time ever I'm looking forward to see what xbox have in store, also really looking forward to the Nintendo direct as I'm hoping for a BOTW2 release date and gameplay footage and finally hope square enix show this new final fantasy project for playstation.
Plus its the start of the euros on the 11th so it's going to be a very busy shut in week for me 😂
@UltimateOtaku91 pretty sure Sony is waiting for news in BOTW2 as well, if it's 2021 HDFW is delayed, if it's 2022 it coming out in 2021.
@Akropolon The text above was taken from the official release, but we've adjusted it now to include the British times as well
@Krzzystuff I've heard several people say this and while it does make sense to a certain extent, historically this hasn't been an issue for Sony at all. The first Horizon was released only a week before the first Breath of the Wild, so I personally doubt Sony cares about the release date of BotW 2.
Speaking of which, I'm not expecting a huge update on BotW 2 at all. Maybe a trailer showing some gameplay, but definitely not something like a deep-dive. A release date probably won't be given either since they decided to port Skyward Sword over to the Switch in order for people to play something while they wait for BotW 2. This usually means that the game is at least one year away. Looking at Twilight Princess HD on Wii U as an example, it was released in March 2016 and BotW came out in March 2017.
Xbox is pretty much the only conference I'm actually looking forward to. Nintendo's last Direct was incredibly disappointing and I can't imagine them doing any better at E3. Prepare for more Wii U ports with remaining titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles X and possibly even more 3DS ports like Metroid Samus Returns given it didn't receive much attention at the end of the 3DS' life cycle.
@LtSarge @Krzzystuff the first horizon released before the switch came out, but now the switch has sold around 80 million units and quite of lot of those players also own a playstation so sony want to avoid releasing horizon 2 around the release of BOTW2 as most people will only be able to get one of them on release meaning less initial sales
@UltimateOtaku91 So what if Nintendo is also doing the same thing and waiting for Sony to announce the release date of Horizon since there are almost 120 million PS4 units? Then none of the games will ever be released, lol.
@LtSarge well one of them will have to to the plunge and announce a release date first then the other can dodge it by either releasing it before or after.
But yeah its silly if that's what they are doing as it's not so bad to announce a release date and then change it a few months after if they need to as so many companies do these days
I'm looking forward to hearing more about the Gunk and Tunic. There was a taletell like game about a motel out on the dessert as well that I'm looking forward to...can't recall the name of it but after playing a bunch of waking dead games I'm all in on that one.
Hell yeah, The smell of E3 is in the air..
I can't wait for this!
@UltimateOtaku91 Good point re the football. Now I'll have to check that none of this clashes with any England matches...
