E3 2016

So I take it we're gonna do this on Skype again like every year?

Any thoughts on using a Curse Voice server instead or anything like that?

We tend to use google hangouts but I'd be open to other suggestions. We can't use mumble because it cuts you off after a certain period of time. If we were to pay for a teamspeak server that's a good alternative

TS3 isn't necessary Curse Voice is a really good alternative. Better then Discord and Raidcall currently imo. Has all the benefits of a persistent voice server like TS3 , mumble etc.

there's no limit to how many people can join and no one has to ask to start the "call" nor has to be invited once they are part of the server. Making it much easier to come and go as we need to through out the day. Furthermore we could also have multiple voice/chatrooms set up in the server if need be. Which you can swap around from chat to chat freely as well.


We could set up the TLS Curse voice server prior to E3 starting up and send out invites to everyone ahead of time. Once the day comes we should be set to go.
Honestly as far as chatrooms/voice servers go it's probably the current best free option and I actually kind of prefer it over TS3 and mumble as well.

 

[Lex]

Alright, let's do it then! Do you want to set it up? Is there a way to choose server location?

 

[Geostigma]

Yes we sure can. IT's set to auto detect by default but i can be manually switched to other regions. Though the regions are generic and I don't know what city they are hosted out of i.e. EUWest and EUNE.


I went ahead and just made a server if you guys make Curse accounts I can give you the link and you can join up. It also has a webapp so you don't have to download the program, though I've never used the webapp and am not sure how it's quality compares to the programs.

Add me on Curse my username is thisgayearth

._. Yes I know. Curse doesn't let you change your base ID but you can change your server nickname at least lol.

edit:

Heres a link to join it via the webapp though again I'm not sure how it will work compared to using it via the program

So is Square gonna be lumped with Sony there for Monday 8pm PST? Because if so, woot I'm there

...or do you think they'll have their own event time?

 

[Cthulhu]

If there's monies involved with that curse server thing, just yell at me and I'll handle it (either you pay for it and I pay you, or I can do it directly. Might be better for you to do the administration and shit tho)

Also them downgrades are pretty bad, . Although I wonder, would the E3 version be like the PS4 version of GTA V in comparison? Bit disappointed in the Division though, I like the UI in the e3 version.

Could someone record the audio, incase there are things to be reacted to. I'll most likely be working, so I'll sort out any youtube stuff the next morning.

Curse Voice is completely free as far as I am aware

 

[Cthulhu]

So you're saying every voice is recorded and sent to Facebook/Google for analysis instead?

The future is now!

I was toying with the server a bit and was able to make another link that also has options to download the curse voice program. So now if we go forward with this you should be able to join the server and download the program with minimal clicks.

Feel free to join ahead of time to fiddle with it and see if you like it. Nows the time to decide if we wanna use this or google hangouts etc.

 

[Carlie]

I has joined.

 

[Tennyo]

Oh Curse, where to get all the WoW mods. This is nostalgia.

Yeah its kind of crazy how far they have come over the years.
edit: BTW the dark theme for the curse voice program is infinitely better and easier on the eyes then the white theme and I highly suggest switching to it

[Channy]

........nothing on VII, really?

 

[Tetsujin]

VIIR isn't really that far along

 

[Unit-01]

Wow really I've been waiting for more news.

 

[Tetsujin]

We might get a new trailer but show floor stuff and streams generally focus on games relatively close to release. VIIR was never gonna make an appearance outside of a conference or they would've announced that it would be present a while ago.

 

[Unit-01]

^Unless they make it a surprise but that is highly unlikely due to drawing attention off XV. Also since the surprise happened last year there is no reason to have it appear unannounced.

I am a bit downed that it won't be making an appearance come next week, but to be fair we got way more than expected last year so maybe they'll just wait until PSX 2016 to show more. Going to cross my fingers that we might see some more of anything having to do with it.

I am looking forward to seeing XII:Zodiac Age and XV for sure. Also may pay attention to World of Final Fantasy this time around, it doesn't seem like it'll be a bad game.

 

[Tennyo]

A lot of that is when I'm in Boston/at work.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I'm on Curse Voice, so if we go that route, I'll tune in. And yes, Dark Theme rules.

5:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. – Square Enix Presents: E3 2016 Grand Finale

So despite my initial prediction, I'm getting a definite FFVII:R feel from that title.

Everything else that might possibly worth showing has already been shown at that point (including everything FFXV related) so it wouldn't surprise me if they went ahead and topped it all off with "HEY HERE'S FFVII:R AWESOME STUFF RIGHT AT THE END NO COMMENT BEYOND THAT KTHNXBAI!11!" and troll the shit out of the audience again.

 

[Tetsujin]

Very low chance of that, they've always called the last segment "Grand Finale" and it was always just a video of a bunch of devs saying 'goodbye, see you next E3' with zero game footage.
It's kinda very un-grand.

 

[hian]

My mistake. I thought I was looking at the actual program, not the live-stream schedule =S

Makes more sense that way anyways. Initially, I figured they wouldn't want to take the steam off FFXV by drawing focus to a project that ultimately is bound to garner more attention.

 

[Ami]

It's going to be fun avoiding all social media this year for spoilers.

Honestly, I'm not that excited this year. The only thing that's intriguing me right now is a remaster of Skyrim, as it's been reported everywhere. Once that's confirmed, the hype can commence.
