Here, at *Kill Screen*, we have two. Coincidentally, they are called Zach (Budgor) and Zack (Kotzer). We love them very much. Which is why we sit them down in front of a screen and force them to watch everything that happens at E3, trailer after trailer revealed before their tired eyes. Imagine that scene in *A Clockwork Orange* (1971), the one in which the [Ludovico technique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludovico%5Ftechnique?ref=killscreen.com) is demonstrated—it’s exactly like that. They scream at the videogame horrors, we put the drops in their eyes, they continue watching the videogame horrors. The following is Part 2 of what they managed to write down in between the yelling this year. ([Read Part 1 here](https://www.killscreen.com/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-one/)) ## **God of War** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-cj\_gcpakywg","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/CJ\_GCPaKywg?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZB: There’s a surprising amount of grace to this for a new *God of War* thing, especially in the animation. The dialogue is a little rougher, but I can’t act like I’m *not* excited for more absurdly violent trips through The Myths. Where did Kratos get a nice strong son though? Where’d he get that grizzled little boy? ZK: I’m actually confused if this is a a new Kratos or the old Kratos who got a EURail pass after successfully killing every myth short of Narcissus and the Fraggles. ZB: This is the first game in the Sony presentation to feature a dead ol’ wife, FYI. ZK: I am a gamer, not because I don’t have a wife, but because I choose to have many die off-screen. ## ***Days Gone*** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-n95iaeldwdu","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/n95IaELdWDU?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: You know, at a certain point I’d just give it to the zombies. Those doorframes look like snakes in a peanut can. They are clearly more prepared than I, though perhaps as they should be, because they also seem to have the resistance of a gummy bear. ZB: This is unquestionably more zombies than we have previously been able to render in videogame history. That is a fact. The live Sony orchestra is also putting in some goddamn work here, making this way more interesting than I think it actually is. ZK: That is because they are not zombies they are balloons. [The player just accidentally strolled right by one zombie whose head wasn’t in the game](https://youtu.be/DiHbP%5FgdfQg?t=5m11s&ref=killscreen.com). How do we even know they want to eat this biker? This could be one of those *Hard Day’s Night* (1964) things and they all just want this human gas station sunglasses rack’s kisses and autographs. ZB: These zombies don’t appear to be attacking the main character at all. Are they? ZK: This game looks like a visualization of Twitter. ZB: This is the second consecutive game to prominently feature a dead ol’ wife. Executive producer Christopher Nolan, am I right? Okay, okay, everyone, stop clapping, let’s move on. ## ***Resident Evil VII*** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-rxjofd0yno0","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/rxjOFd0YNo0?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: Hello friends did you like the *PT* game? ZB: I’m shamelessly into this. Found footage? *Texas Chain Saw* vibes? They’re hitting my buttons. ZK: How long have they been sitting on merging the numerals into the “VIL” ‘cause I’d wager this goes back to *Nemesis*. ## ***Death Stranding*** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-i2nuheghwiw","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/i2nuHEGhwiw?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: And… when there was one set of footprints in the sand? That is when you carried me between the rotting fish \[sniff\]. ZB: The idea of Norman Reedus being anyone’s muse—as he appears to be Hideo Kojima’s—is hilarious. The idea that Kojima thought of him (and him alone; “Cast: Norman Reedus,” the credits say) for an [*Evolution*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXf8VS6iK%5Fg&ref=killscreen.com)\-style surrealist vignette of a guy with c-section scars beholding five divine figures above a ravaged sea is even more hilarious. ZK: To be fair, Kojima the cinema fan [either likes action movies or likes movies because they remind him of action movies](http://www.polygon.com/2016/2/11/10966414/hideo-tube-kojima-youtube-video?ref=killscreen.com). So it makes sense that Kojima’s Tippi Hedren is a performer who, despite being without clothes, truly looks naked because he isn’t holding up a crossbow to his greasy face. ## **The Last Guardian** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-fl2zzgw6yoo","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/fL2zzgW6YOo?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: I’m glad Sony is on the same page as us and this trailer is little more than a release date. The E3 version of asking if your roommate is on top of job hunting. ZB: I am not crying, and I don’t plan on crying, but yes, I will take a tissue. ZK: If the enemies are going to strut like a diving bell suit running after Shaggy and Scooby-Doo I hope there’s a chase scene in a hallway with 20 doors. ZB: There are two feather puppies. Will one of them die to fulfill the promise of the title? I really hope not! ZK: Why stop at one! ## **Spider-Man** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-adpwdkdnlec","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/aDPWDkdNLEc?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: Wh… a white emblem?? Is Sony (Films) really this dedicated to goofing this up? *Civil War* handed them a perfectly slam dunk Spider-Man costume and then they, what, accidentally right clicked the fill tool? ZB: I suspect this is a movie tie-in, but they’re smart enough to leave off that branding. ## ***Pokémon Sun and Moon*** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-jjcz9lp4w4c","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/JjcZ9lP4w4c?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: I have changed a lot in my life, but one of the few constants is that I do not care about the first two hours of a Pokémon game. ZB: The presenters let a battle screen linger for like five minutes to show off the dynamic camera angles, which mostly looked like a von Trier-esque experiment in letting a computer direct the scene. Pan across Rowlet’s face; cut to closeup of Rowlet’s eyes; wide shot of Rowlet; profile shot; low-angle shot of Rowlet; back to wide shot. Experimental cinema circa 2016. ZK: I’m worried that this dry marathon is only making people hate Popplio more and I must defend my beautiful candy-nosed baby. ZB: Both the guy and girl have dumb outfits, but the guy’s mid-calf pants with the huge red cuff are especially stupid. ## **The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild** {"@context":"http:\\/\\/schema.org\\/","@id":"https:\\/\\/killscreen.com\\/previously\\/articles\\/try-form-opinions-everything-happened-e3-part-2\\/#arve-youtube-1rpxixxxfte","type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\\/\\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\\/embed\\/1rPxiXXxftE?feature=oembed&iv\_load\_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0"} ZK: Looking at this new Link I feel like [Mr. Burns yelling at Don Mattingly](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi%5F5lXIT5AY&ref=killscreen.com). Also, I like that we got a duck pond shot. Right after the giant skeleton. ZB: Parts of this look so nice! And then other parts look like weird placeholders, which maybe they are. But when I think “new *Zelda*” I don’t have fucking crafting at the top of my list. ZK: Can you even imagine the internal protests over the change to the formula? ZB: Lots of stoic men in tailored suits quietly stewing in boardrooms, teeth clenched. One adjusts his glasses with careful nonchalance but inside his mind is sheer blind panic: *the formula must remain pure*. He knows this. He also knows no man can stand up to the passage of time. Perhaps—no, no. He blinks. Perhaps it *is* time to change. If a mountain can be shorn down over thousands of years do not be the mountain be the wind be the rain be the snow he thinks. ZK: Miyamoto presenting slides of various apples as each exec fails to lift up so much as a finger.
