Strongly E3 2022

Temps de lecture : 6 minMaxime Claudel Maxime ClaudelTemps de lecture : 6 min Maxime Claudel Maxime ClaudelIl est temps de dresser le bilan de l’E3 2021, édition particulière puisqu’entièrement dématérialisée.

E3, 2021 edition, is now over.And we cannot say that it was a successful event like certain past editions.It was necessary to expect it: the absence of a physical show, due to the health conditions, is there for many.The slowdown observed in several industries due to the pandemic also explains this lukewarm assessment (the games are late).

Several market players have nevertheless tried to bring the event to life, with more or less success - and that's all their honor.Microsoft, Ubisoft, Square Enix or Nintendo were there, when others have dried (Sony and Electronic Arts in mind).We will have games in the coming months, but we will have to wait for the world after to review a grandiose E3.

The top of the E3 2021

Microsoft took advantage of the boulevard

A few months after the launch of the PS5 and the Xbox Series S/X, there was no match between Microsoft and Sony at the E3.The Redmond firm won on the green carpet, since its main opponent did not appear in the ring.The Xbox brand took advantage of the boulevard with a fairly generous conference centered on its main weapon: the Xbox Game Pass.If Microsoft is not yet able to make crowds jump, we can at least recognize his ability to generate craze in his subscribers.Concerned will be able to discover several dozen novelties from their launch thanks to the service.It is the fruit of a paid strategy, and one more step towards a very ambitious overall positioning (touching people beyond Xbox consoles).

Hades goes out on Playstation and Xbox

Consider: The best game of the year 2020 is currently only available on PC and Nintendo Switch.But, as of August 13, the players PlayStation and Xbox will finally be able to taste this devilishly addictive game.Better still, it will be directly included in the Xbox Game Pass.A masterpiece like Hades deserves to be available on a maximum of platforms, so that as many players and players can discover it.In addition, it will be released in the heart of summer, an usually calm period.In short, you can cancel your vacation - or leave in July.

A release date for Eldenr Ring

We hoped a lot to see Elden Ring, next game from the Studio from Toftware, which has a sacred immunity totem from the Dark Souls trilogy, the flamboyant Bloodborne or the excellent Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.Luckily, this project, imagined in collaboration with George R.R.Martin (you know, the author behind Game of Thrones), illuminated the opening ceremony of the Summer Game Fest.Normally, we can play it from January 21, 2022 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PC.With regard to the liabilities of the studio and the promises of Elden Ring (an ultra demanding game in a more open world), we are about to start 2022 under the best auspices.

The wonderful images of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

Some would say that it was 1mn39 of intense happiness.Others that Nintendo did the minimum service.The least enthusiastic are a little right.But still: The images of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 provide immeasurable joy and make players 'impatience climb, a little more, players' impatience.It is all the same the rest of the best game of the past decade.Appointment is therefore made for 2022-we hope on a switch pro which will guarantee ideal playing conditions.

The visual slap?Forza Horizon 5

The E3 would be nothing without its technical showcase, this game which will put their eyes in it when it is available.For this 2021 edition, it seems difficult not to fall amazed in front of the images of Forza Horizon 5, racing game published by Microsoft.We advise you to look at the gameplay trailer in 4K quality to measure how sumptuous the title developed by Playground Games is. La Xbox Series X, alias la console la plus puissante du marché, a besoin de son porte-étendard (comme la PlayStation 5 avec Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart).Forza Horizon 5 seems to be the ideal candidate.He was also elected game most awaited by the organizers of the E3.

The flop of E3 2021

Unnecessary conferences

What is the common point between the conferences of Ubisoft, Square Enix, Capcom or Bandai Namco (or even Nintendo, if we withdraw Zelda)?They all gave the impression of above all ensuring a media presence.The Capcom example is glaring: that titles already known, no surprises.That of Square Enix is even worse: new products that are poorly highlighted, a formless form.As for Ubisoft, we were treated to a agreed show, which must have been satisfied only those who await the adaptation of the film Avatar with.Fortunately, these events were broadcast at acceptable hours.

The two new features Square Enix

During his conference, Square Enix showed two new features.First there was Marvel’s Guardians of Galaxy, a new association between the Japanese publisher and the Marvel House after Marvel’s Avengers (which is a commercial failure).Despite 20 minutes of presentation, we are not at all convinced: the game is based on a fairly wobbly concept (five heroes, but only one playable).

The other novelty is called Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, a spin-off of the famous Final Fantasy saga, signed Team Ninja (the Ninja Gaiden and the Nioh).The first images are struggling to see: graphics from another time (two generations back) and a somewhat neat atmosphere (the hero is only repeating that he wants to destroy chaos).Square Enix has already made a playable demo available to owners of a PS5.Problem ?She needed to be updated to work.We still took the time to play it: by putting aside the filthy visual part, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin hides a certain potential.To be confirmed, after the failure of the announcement.

These games that have been absent for too long

Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 are two exclusives Nintendo Switch which were formalized in 2017.Since then, it’s radio silence.The first was quickly dispatched by Nintendo and the second did not even have a screen.The multinational released its usual sleight of hand: "Did you want Metroid Prime 4?"You will have Medroid Dread for the moment ". Dans les autres grands absents, on pourra citer Beyond Good & Evil 2 et Skull & Bones, tous deux édités par Ubisoft.

Lack of effervescence

As specified in the preamble, the 2021 edition of the E3 could not bring together journalists in the Los Angeles Convention Center.And that changes everything: a video game fair needs these thousands of votes that are aimed at players and players camped behind their computer, looking for the slightest information.We need these hot impressions, written late by small hands that chain the articles between two meetings, two cafes or two naps (it's lived).This is not the opinion of a journalist frustrated to have stayed in France, rather the feeling of an enthusiast who is used to feeding on all this excitement.We love to enjoy comparing the opinions of Pierre, Paul and Jacques.We did not have this luxury this year, simply the possibility of reading short exchanges on social networks.In short, make us our E3, the one we love.
