Maybe not, actually. FromSoftware just released some info on Sekiro, and apparently it won't have classes, stats, or online components. It's being pitched as a pure action-adventure game.
As for E3, kind of an underwhelming year overall. Most of the big name titles are games I'm not interested in (KHIII, ESVI, Smash) or were games for systems I don't own like Octopath Traveler. Sekiro looks interesting, but I wouldn't mind more info. I'm happy we finally got some gameplay footage for Death Stranding, but I'll echo that it was a bit underwhelming. On the other hand, considering how much hype it's been getting, maybe it was a good thing to release something that would lower expectations. I'm not really bothered by the idea that what we saw in the trailer is the extent of the gameplay. I doubt it will be but either way, we're still talking about a man who made one of the best survival horror games in the last five years involving two hallways and a bathroom that repeat, so maybe there is more than what we're seeing here. Either way, the game still doesn't have much going for it besides being bizarre and mysterious. Also DQXI looks pretty good, and will likely be the only SE game I'm looking forward to for awhile that I can actually play unless SaGa Scarlet Graces gets a release date sometime this year.
