@Nyxus, I guess I've got it slightly less bad than you, for me it's 1am! I'm not sure I can hack the late ones anymore especially as this might go on for THREE hours! But I might try and catch the start.
Yeah I can see why people are looking forward to these things, it just isn't my taste. It would like to see stuff like FF7 Remake Part II, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 or something Metal Gear.
I'm really excited about tonight's show! Not because I think it will be particularly great, let's be honest, it never is, but because I'm looking forward to making fun of it, and enjoying its progression into the toilet of wokeness! 😀👍
-TLOU 1 Remake with Pedro Pascal's likeness (because white Joel ain't woke enough) -Release date for Hellblade 2 (with gameplay) -Suicide Squad: KTJL release date (with gameplay) -Redfall's release date (with gameplay). Online portion will be free-to-play. -Playstation will reveal another Marvel superhero game that isn't Spiderman or Wolverine related
Yea we need to talk about the casting of The Last of Us. Joel is a good ol’ country boy, why would they choose Pedro Pascal? That’s right up there with Lance Reddick playing Wesker. I thought the whole thing nowadays was races aren’t allowed to play other races? Is that only for white people?
I think we all know why they cast him, don't get me wrong Pedro is a fantastic actor and amazing in The Mandalorian but he doesn't fit here and this is Hollywood checking boxes as usual.
Sad thing is Pedro is a good actor but the majority of the actors in the series are miscast, the only two I can get behind is the actor playing Marlene because it actually is Marlene and Nick Offerman as Bill.
Hugh Jackman, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Gerard Butler, so many good choices and they are just the obvious ones.
They had an open casting call for most of the characters. Open casting call means they were not limiting the role by skin color or any particular traits other than "male in his late 40's". Pedro was simply better than most "male in his late 40's" that applied for the role.
I don't like the casting choices either but I have no issues with his race. He's very of the moment (unlike some has-beens that are suggested in comments), and is white enough to play Joel imo. Many Central and South Americans have European heritage and influence on their culture (e.g. Spanish & Portugese). You don't see anyone getting upset that Bella Ramsey isn't American. Fucking stupid honestly.
Don't get me wrong I have no problem with his race. Loved Pedro in Mandalorian. The dude's a great actor, but he's no Joel, like at all, and if it's not his take on the role then it'd be even worse because the acting will feel so try hard. My thing is Joel is a very specific character and if you don't cast someone to play that rugged cowboy guy it just ruins it. It's also kind of annoying what people are doing with casting lately.
I mean take the new Resident Evil movie... it's just like can we at least attempt to cast people that look and can act like the characters from the source material? It's just an observation is all and the woke level in Hollywood doesn't help my eyes from rolling into the back of my skull.
Could be some unexpected showings/announcements, look forward to it this time.
Hoping for FFXVI, FF7R2 (unlikely) and some out unexpected but welcome things would definitely be something bloodborne related (60FPS ps5 version, maybe something else) Metal Gear Solid, maybe something Ghost of Tsushima sequel if that happens.
Also hoping that new matrix game is actually good this time around, wouldn't mind playing a good matrix game.
Looks like there is due to be lots of game announcements, bit of a bummer it airs at 1am in the UK. #matchsticksneeded
Hopefully it will be better than that, because there isn't really anything for me in that list...
Probably a game
New Matrix game, possibly a teaser for a complete game coming next year maybe?
New Gears of War trailer
I’d like a new PS exclusive - anything but tlou 2 online mp
Mortal Kombat XII, New Namco Game, Metal gear Solid.
