I keep expecting it to start back up. I... Chris, they didn’t even show us any new Kingdom Hearts stuff! Read more

They’re just showing the schedule on the screen now. Chris... have we been played? Does Final Fantasy 7 not exist? This is Aeris all over again. Read more

Love the sound of this new Utada Hikaru song, by the way. It wouldn’t be Kingdom Hearts without that. Read more

Annnd here’s the Kingdom Hearts trailer we already saw. I’m happy to look upon Elsa and Rapunzel’s beautiful faces again, though... and perhaps they’ll show us something new shortly? Read more

New trailer. A dude in leather just dramatically took off his hood and got into a fight with some street toughs. He gestures to his ears and the trailer goes silent; perhaps he’s deaf? Title: The Quiet Man. Read more

As we watch more vehicles and helicopters blow up and more bearded hotties brooding about it, we hear about the “brand new, best in class, open-world APEX engine” that will give us all of these things. Read more

Just Cause 4 is getting a vehicular overhaul. Including jet-skis, micro-jets, and updates to bikes and cars. Read more

After a split-second look at Octopath Traveler, we dive into a longer look at Just Cause 4. Lots of scenic vistas and big explosions and promises of a big bad world. With extreme tornados! Lightning! Sandstorms! Read more

Here’s some footage of Nier: Automata: Become As Gods edition, which is coming to Xbox June 26. Read more

This latest trailer is taking us through a timeline of fantastical historical events. Magical, sparkly knights are fighting! And we’ve got a title screen: Babylon’s Fall, PS4 and Steam. Read more

And we’ve got a Dragon Quest date too: September 4. Read more

Dragon Quest XI’s enterprising hero with a cute pageboy haircut is fighting dragons, and “the darkness.” Read more

On June 26th, the “full experience will be available for free,” according to the Dontnod folks (!!). This is not Life Is Strange 2, they remind us. Read more

We’re racing through some brief cinematic looks at different Square games now. Under the Moonlight, Monster Hunter World... phew, okay, I think we’re finally coming up for air on a longer segment from Dontnod about Captain Spirit. Read more

One last little peek at some of the game cinematics. Lara zip-lining, swimming through rapids, running, jumping, climbing trees... woo! Time for a look at Stormblood. Read more

Gameplay over (for now)! We’re being told there are “new traversal techniques like grappling, wall-running”... although we haven’t gotten to see those yet. Read more

So far, this looks like the same sort of Tomb Raider reboot gameplay with which we’re familiar: Lara gets bonuses for extra-stealthy kills, sneaking up on enemies with her knife. Read more

Here’s our first look at some gameplay, featuring the jungle in which Lara will fight the Trinity baddies. She’s hiding in a tree now, still got her bow and arrow and snipin’ skills. Read more
