Total War: WARHAMMER 2, Total War: ARENA, Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces
Creative Assembly™ are unleashing the Lizardmen on the public for the first time in Total War™: WARHAMMER® II. The second game in the Total War: WARHAMMER trilogy is set in a whole new part of the Warhammer world, introducing four new playable races in an epic narrative campaign. In a spectacular quest battle taken from the game, E3-goers can seize control of a Lizardmen army as they march against the High Elves, who they’ve caught meddling in the dormant ruins of an ancient Lizardmen portal. Total War: ARENA, the free-to-play team based strategy game from Creative Assembly and Wargaming Alliance, will feature with 20 stations set up for frenetic 10v10 action! Additionally, there will be playable stations for Sonic Forces and Sonic Mania at the booth.

Oh what I would give to have Aegis Rim on the Switch, that Vanillaware art on a portable is a blessing.
Why do i get dodgy popup advertisements whenever i view this site on mobile. please sort this out
Hmm, that shouldn’t be happening! Anyone else getting this?
I keep getting a PC popup from this website to this “survey” tab from wayretail(dot)com
Going to investigate.
Thanks sickr!
Spoke to WordPress and they are aware of the issue and will be gone tomorrow morning.
I know right. I am always getting the same ad two or three times on the same page. (What the hell my nintendo news???)
This about to get real. E3 is coming.
Sega has a decent Line-up
The is strong with this one.
Ha. well, that didn’t work.
I’m sorry what?
It was an HTML joke, It didn’t work, so never mind. X.x
Ok
You talk about this?
I just hope the next SMT game doesn’t have the same issue that the last one had. It was SO easy to get lost. And all the locations looked/sounded the same to me. I even had a map for the first half of the game. Not even Google maps could save me! I didn’t finish it because I literally spent days running around, utterly lost.
I will revisit it again someday, but I hope the next one goes a little easier on us and localization gives us a break when naming locations.
This a remake, so it will be based off the original dungeon crawler so a map will be provided and as I have played the original I can tell you the map system isn’t bad.
Awesome. good to know! thx
Oh, and Devil Survivor. So fucking great for this kinda game.
Don’t buy them unless you are somewhat OK with the battle mechanics and dungeon crawling mechanics though. These may be very polished and much less “grindy” but they are still dungeon crawlers!
Honestly, only the Yakuza part of this line-up has me interested.
Hail Atlus, Hail SMT
I was hoping for some of their older IPs to pop up during E3.. but i guess we’re still a ways off from that sort of stuff.
