Obligatory e3 Recap Video) Alternatively to last year when I uploaded out of date reactions following the announcement of Crash in Skylanders and the N. Sane Trilogy, this year I wanted to do it correctly. Remember that Cheating in Video Games video I made a short while back? Well that discussion format had it's groundwork laid specifically before e3 rolled around, as I'll be going over my personal ups and downs of the entire event in that video style. I'm not sure how it'll work and it may be a little more crammed; meaning less time for total discussion on everything. But it should still work. I'm actually ready to start working on that later today as of writing this and it will be up next Tuesday as normal. Presuming I'm able to film the video this late in the week (should be fine), Early Access will also be available by the weekend. Cut it fine last week which I'll get too shortly. But with that, I'm curious how you guys felt about the event overall this year? Feel free to leave some feedback about what you loved and hated! :)
Reviews) This week's Perfect Dark: Zero Review has gone down fairly well considering it went up 2 hours before Sony's e3 conference. Quite surprised actually and it did very well it's first 24 hours which is nice to see. It almost wasn't going to happen but I pulled out a few double sessions of editing and got it finished well ahead of the deadline. As for upcoming reviews, whether you consider it a spoiler or not, the N. Sane Trilogy will be next. Now looking at the dates, that leaves a gap week in-between e3 recaps and that game releasing so I'm not sure what I'll put there. I actually had a review planned for that gap but I've cancelled it. Had a certain game been announced at e3, that wou;d have happened for sure but I'm going to save it for down the line. It'll be better for the channel that way and the wait will make the video better, trust me.
Everything Else) Speaking of that, I may change my mind and drop it in July anyway, we'll just have to see what I'm in the mood for. I had other plans for July but I've put them on hold simply because I don't think it's the right time. I had a little experiment I was going to begin discussing that I've been working on since Sly reviews but I'll sit on it longer until I'm working on the Part 2. Without spoiling too much, I'm hoping for this secret project to be a Four Part Series, spread over the course of the next year! I think it's an interesting topic I can tell you, so far it's been a very beneficial project for me to work on. I feel SO GOOD working on it!
(No, it's not Ratchet and Clank!)
But that is the rundown for this week, I've also got more PC testing on the schedule for the end of NEXT week. Got a good hour or 2 of editing to finish up there and then I'm just waiting for Crash. While I wait, I'm gonna hopefully touch on another Naughty Dog IP on the PS4 in the meantime, but we'll see how long that dream lasts. Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers!
