PS5 is just a PS4 Pro that is faster. Heed my words.
I expect the next gen PlayStation and Xbox to go far beyond what we have now. I think top developers will create games that really impress people with how more advanced they are over current gen games. The tech will be way more advanced in all areas. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the best devs deliver next gen.
Fallen Order looks like it might end up being a decent run through largely coming off how well a job they did with Titanfall 2's SP campaign but bar that EA's showing was woeful. Sets a bar I expect to be met by nearly all.
Fallen order looks a like a really boring Jedi Order, none of the imagination they put in to TF2 looked to be there from that gameplay video.
Apex Legends... 1 new character, Watson, another defensive that can make 12 laser walls, didn't say what happens when the enemy touch them... i assume some small damage and a slow debuff from eyeballing it. Ultimate is a grenade intercept that refill shields over time. Biggest problem off the bat is the dev's talking about the rush down meta (zerging the enemy with small hitbox and fast team, always moving to be the 3rd party in a fight at all times), which with these walls, at best help lock yourself in a room, but outside in the open with the amount of pathfinders, wraiths and Octane's in teams will casually vault/pass it. At least the ultimate grenade spam prevention sounds good, but i really doubt this will change anything.
new weapon is a endgame drop pod LMG which looks really strong, probably to strong that it'll punish players not fighting over drop pods. Season pass 2 highlights include trackers removed and some other pointless "TBA" will be inserted, and you'll get 1200 crafting points (to earn probably 50 pts every few levels) to make a legendary of your choosing, whoopity do, the dev actually said "a lot value inthe battle pass", what a joke, sure it's a value if you compare it to legendary skins being £20 in the store.
also putting in rank mode, which will like overwatch or street fighter, rank you up/down and award "TBA" stuff (likely just a badge) when the season ends, which for me spells the end of the fun, a 3rd mode to split the playerbase and introduce the cancer of tryhards wall-camping.
Stopped after Apex as i don't care for what Battlefields become, and for that matter FIFA/Madden/Sims as well.
I think Fallen Order looks meh. It's pretty basic 3rd person gameplay that I've seen before. Slash some people, do a back flip, climb a ledge, repeat. Games like shadow of mordor and uncharted have done it better.

They confirmed on the stream that when you pass Watson’s wall it pings the entire enemy teams location, could get interesting fortifying a zone near the end.
Also her ultimate also intercepts air strikes as well, means it could be difficult to flush a team off a roof if she’s on it.

Thanks for this schedule as always. Adding to calendar. Looking fwd to what MS and Nintendo have to offer, as well as I’m sure some other surprise stuff from other companies.
I was happy to avoid watching any E3 conferences this year, and simply catch the news afterwards.
Then Zenimax Online Studios have announced a free mount for TESO if you watch the Bethesda BE3 presentation (PC version, console players merely need to logon within certain small window). Errgghhh. I do not want to be up at early hours but at the same time want the cool kitty mount.
Very clever tactic though. To boost your numbers on Twitch tapping into one of your largest player bases.
