Which, knowing how that and Rainbow Six went, the finished Wildlands will likely bear very little resemblance to the version teased and it'll be a couple of years before it actually sees the light of day. Still, an open-world military shooter is an interesting prospect, and this is coming from someone who's bored to death of the the MS genre.

I'm more interested in the multiple mission options, and the fact that you're fighting drug cartels rather than Russia or the Middle East.

I don't think "stagnant" is quite the right word here. F-Zero's a vegetable at this point.

Oops, my bad. That's what I get for posting at 2 am. My understanding of the english language just goes to crap. Yeah, vegetable (or dead) is a better term.

What about Sunset Overdrive, Watchdogs, Bloodbrone and Destiny?

Why not just say you want new ips then?

That's less confusing.

That's probably the best part about the console cycle going on for so long, PC hardware gets cheaper and cheaper and game requirements don't really go up, so it cost me very little to build a decently high end machine 4-5 years ago and I've only had to replace the graphics card to bring it up to PS4/Xbone levels.

E3 in general was very disappointing this year, no one had any particularly big announcements other than Sony and that was pretty much just multiplatform games. Microsoft announced more sequels to the same tired franchises and Nintendo seemed like they were stalling for time with spinoffs to the things we actually want.

I disagree with you on Sony. They dropped several large announcements early on. Last Guardian (which is exclusive, and hadn't been seen in 6 years), Shenmue 3, to my knowledge isn't multi-platform, and FF7 was a big thing people have been demanding since the PS2 days, and it's a timed exclusive, at least. The only big multi-platform things I can thing of are COD: BLOPS 3, Batman, and World of Final Fantasy.

As for Nintendo, my issue with them was more that they were just showing off more of what we already knew about, as the only spinoff I can think of is Metroid (and maybe the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi crossover). We aready knew about Wooly World, Fire Emblem Fates, SMTXFE, and to an extent Starfox. I am glad we got a North American release date for Xenoblade X, but other than that, yeah not much new.

I believe Shenmue 3 is also getting on PC as well just a smaller point on that but I thought I would point out

None of those were innovative and groundbreaking.

Because being a new IP doesn't make it amazing.

I must not be conveying what I mean in text properly.

The biggest problem I'm having with this generation of gaming is that it is riding off the curtails of the last gen. Everything coming out for it has been sticking to the same safe zone that companies got comfortable in in the last generation. There are new IPs, but they are playing exactly the same as the old games. Bloodlborne is just Demon's Souls, but with guns. Watch_Dogs is just a modern day Assassin's Creed (but with an even worse protagonist and PS3 graphics). Destiny is Halo, but online. None of those are ground breaking.

We need something new. A new gaming experience that is not only graphically amazing, but sets the bar to a new type of gameplay. It needs to be innovative and revolutionary. It could very well come from an existing IP if companies start taking risks with their existing IPs and do new stuff with them (like Rockstar tries to do with each incarnation of GTA), but most likely, it is going to be from a new IP.

So far, Horizon is the only game that looks like it is trying to be that new thing, which is why for me, it was the game of E3.

So... Splatoon?

Besthesda easily won E3 this year with that Fallout 4 demo.
