E3 2018 WINNER

E3 2018 is officially over, with all of the big publishers showing off the games that they have waiting on the horizon. Of course, once the dust settles, everyone begins arguing about who it was that “won” the conference this year. Well, if we’re going by media coverage, it was Sony.

This report comes from the analysts at ICO Partners, who kept track of all of the articles written about E3 this year. They came to the conclusion that Sony received 16,226 articles, Microsoft received 15,416 articles and Nintendo received 10,114. This makes it a relatively slim margin between Sony and Microsoft, with a similar result happening last year, but with the companies flipped.

E3 coverage was down compared to the previous year, with this year’s 25,900 articles falling short of last year’s 27,398 articles. Lack of hardware announcements and the fact that there simply weren’t as many big games announced this time around as in previous years are the main culprits.

When it comes to software, Fortnite continues its gaming dominance by even taking the E3 2018 media coverage crown. The game managed to beat out the likes of Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk 2077, which both received over 2,000 articles.

Now looking at publishers, EA got the most media coverage easily with 6,646 articles published. The runner up was Bethesda with 5,379 articles, with Ubisoft following closely behind with 5,242. EA always gets a lot of press each year, though it unfortunately isn’t usually the positive kind.

E3 2018 definitely wasn’t anywhere near the best one we’ve seen, but it still brought some big announcements that we’re looking forward to. We’ll bring you more news on those games when it becomes available.

After a long wait, it appears that the search for a capable Hollywood actor to bring the brooding Shadow the Hedgehog to life has come to an end. Keanu Reeves, a renowned actor known for his iconic roles in film franchises such as The Matrix and John Wick, as well as his involvement in the highly anticipated game Cyberpunk 2077, has officially been cast for the role.

Speculation has been running wild lately, but The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed the casting, citing reliable sources in the know. News of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 being showcased at Cinemacon has quickly spread. Reeves is sure to bring his own special touch to the role, but it’s uncertain how well he will mesh with the mustachioed Dr. Robotnik, as Jim Carrey is set to reprise the character.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Retry Wording Has Been Updated in a Subtle Manner

Despite the numerous praises players have showered upon Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, there is one particular aspect of the game that has garnered nothing but criticism: the perplexing wording of its retry screen, which players encounter when facing a Game Over. Fortunately, the developers have discreetly resolved this issue in the game’s latest patch. They have fixed the Platinum Trophy progression, resulting in a slightly less confusing experience for players.

If you don’t possess exceptional combat abilities, chances are you’ve come across the game’s notorious four options: “Retry from Current Battle, Retry from This Battle, Retry from Before Battle, or Resume.”. As an avid gamer, I must admit that I’ve experienced the frustration of losing precious time due to my own foolish mistake. In this particular instance, I found myself engrossed in fine-tuning my matrix and equipping my party, only to have it all go to waste when I encountered a formidable enemy. To compound my error, I made the ill-advised decision to retry the battle, resulting in an hour of agonizing repetition. Lesson learned!

The “Retry from This Battle” option has become a source of frustration for players who are struggling with the game’s final boss encounter, leading to a significant number of rage-quits. Without giving away any surprises, opting for that choice after being defeated would result in players being sent back to the beginning of the final boss encounter, needlessly forcing them to forfeit approximately an hour’s worth of hard-earned progress in battle.

After the update, players now have the option to select “Retry from the Current Phase” instead of “Retry from Before the Current Battle.”. It’s worth noting that this change is only slightly improved. It’s rather disappointing that the screen is overly convoluted, which may lead to players feeling frustrated. While it’s better late than never, we can’t help but wonder if this issue will persist in the future.
