WhatвЂ™s fascinating about this title is it was pretty much Exactly What It Says on The Tin, yet none of us could see how big of a disappointment it would be. In comparison to last yearвЂ™s cinematic trailer, this one focuses on live gameplay. Next up, we get a more detailed look at The Order 1886. Still, over time demos like thisвЂ“often released during E3вЂ“have become common, with many gamers expecting some sort of вЂњAnd itвЂ™s available nowвЂќ at at least one conference every year. The Alpha wound up being exactly what this game needed: it completely hid the gameвЂ™s flaws, centering entirely around the seriesвЂ™ solid gameplay and naturally ignoring the lack of story and short campaign. He also announces the Destiny first look alpha, a PS4-exclusive opportunity to play the game launching the week of E3. And arguably much of it was styled after what we saw here with Destiny.

All of this generationвЂ™s biggest titles: Destiny, PUBG, The Division, Ghost Recon, Overwatch, Rocket League, Fortnite: they all feature multi-player very heavily. This isnвЂ™t just PR: games have focused more on multiplayer elements in terms of PvP and co-op since the generation began. In any case, with most of the story stripped out, itвЂ™s fitting this trailer is basically just your Ghost talking to you and providing most of the connective narrative tissueвЂ“thatвЂ™s basically what happened in the game.ДЄndrew House comes on stage afterwards, and talks about how Destiny will define the next generation of gaming. For the first half of this gen, delays were a massive problemвЂ“the entire landscape of 20 felt different because titles kept being pushed several months into the following year. Originally scheduled for March of 2014, this game should have been out long before this E3 began, but when one of your higher ups tells you to trash the entire story and start from scratch, itвЂ™s gonna be hard to hit your dates. ThatвЂ™s for those of you who want to follow along, though IвЂ™ll also be including links to individual games here and there so this isnвЂ™t just a giant, government cheese-sized block of text for people to parse through.ДЇollowing up on last yearвЂ™s use of Destiny as a вЂњOne More ThingвЂќ, this yearвЂ™s conference sees the game open the show.

My recollection of this conference is sketchy, but I seem to recall it being overly long and filled with a bunch of nonsense about Powers, the Brian Bendis comic finally adapted into live action. Last week, we looked back on E3 2013, the conference of the year that started this generation and SonyвЂ™s journey back to being king of the console world.
