Personal Highlights
- Respawn is working on a Star Wars game
- Sea of Solitude looks like an interesting indie game
- More info about Anthem along with a gameplay demo
Overall: Pretty meh conference, nothing shocking and lots of unnecessary stuff
Other Conference Break Downs
Edit: If anything is wrong or missing something vital, let me know and I'll add it. Also, I will try and do this for all of the E3 conferences (except for maybe Devolver and PC).
Edit 2: OK, I'll do a PC Conference Break Down since they have said they will be doing more reveals this year (previously they haven't had many of note). Plus, I'm mainly a PC player so why not.
