Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
Another E3 come and gone, a bunch of new game trailers to peruse.
There are some exciting things on the horizon.
But there were a bunch of other exciting things we were EXPECTING to get that didn’t end
up happening.
And that’s lame.
So today I’ll go over some of the games that we were hoping to see at E3, but we didn’t.
If you enjoy this video, let us know by throwing us a thumbs up down below.
And if you want more, check out our video on the companies that lost at E3!
But before you do that, get ready, it’s time to talk about the Games we Didn’t Get
to See at E3 2018!
Let’s start off with Mortal Kombat 11.
Still can’t believe there have been 11 Mortal Kombats.
Gosh I’m old.
Anyway, yeah, leading up to E3, the internet was abuzz with folks certain that Mortal Kombat
would be showcased.
People were theorizing as to who would be in it, what the story would be, and what new
mechanics might be added.
But then at E3 we didn't get anything.
So I did some digging, and like... there's pretty much no evidence that this is happening.
None.
No teasers, no reveals, people just kinda went “Well, it’s been a while since there
was a new Mortal Kombat game, so…
I’ll assume there is one!”
But there might not be!
And if there is, I’m not sure why Sony wouldn’t have showcased it.
But they didn’t!
Moving on to a late addition to the E3 wishlist, Skate 4.
For those who don’t know, the Skate 3 servers were turned off back in 2016.
But then on June 6th, 2018, the online servers for the skateboarding game Skate 3 randomly
turned on.
So a week before E3, a previously-dead game had its servers brought back online.
This, of course, led people to assume that we’d be seeing a new Skate game at E3, either
a remaster, or a sequel.
Because why the hell wouldn’t it?
But then EA had their conference, and there was no Skate 4.
And as of now they haven’t really explained it.
It looks like there probably IS a Skate 4 on its way, especially since the company has
reportedly renewed the Skate trademark, and even opened a new one for the sequel.
But those are just rumours, so we’ll have to wait and see to know for sure.
Next we have Metroid Prime 4.
Following a hella exciting announcement at the last E3, everyone was assuming we’d
hear more about it this year, but we were left sadly wanting.
This was actually one of the biggest upsets in the Nintendo conference, because fans really
had their hopes up about it.
Nintendo ended up made a statement about this, and said that they thought about including
Metroid, but it was so far out still that they felt it would be better to focus on more
imminent games.
Which makes sense, but maybe at least show a little trailer just to give us a taste.
Just a taste.
Then we move to the first Square Enix disappointment, Final Fantasy.
One of the biggest upsets at the Square Enix conference was the complete lack of Final
Fantasy.
We didn’t know if we’d be getting a new game, or a remake of Final Fantasy 7, but
we knew we’d get something.
But we were wrong.
We were so, so wrong.
This probably means that there won’t be any final fantasy games out this year, so
we’ll have to wait for next year.
Still unsure if it will be the remaster or a new game, we’ll have to wait and see.
Next we have the new Core Pokemon Games.
Just before E3, we were teased with the new Pokemon games coming out later this year,
Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee.
When they announced them, Nintendo made it clear that there would still be some “Core”
Pokemon games coming out in 2019, that would be more what we’re used to.
Which made a bunch of people, myself included, assume we’d hear more about these core games
at E3.
Sadly, similar to Metroid, these games were apparently left off because they’re so far
off.
Which is a bit disappointing, because that probably means they won’t be out until after
E3 2019.
Which is a long way off.
And finally, we have my own biggest disappointment, The Avengers Project.
This is the one that hit me the hardest.
I actually heard about it suuuuper late, which is kind of embarrassing considering I work
for a comic book channel and a video game channel.
But when I DID hear about it, I got super psyched.
Superhero video games are surprisingly rare, and GOOD superhero games are even more so.
Mostly just Batman and Spider-Man.
After it was teased a year ago, and even got a trailer, fans thought it was a shoe-in for
the Square Enix conference, but no dice.
Not even a damn photo.
And I’m pissed.
I want this game.
I want this game real bad.
That’s it for today!
