It was certainly an eclectic showcase, with trailers ranging from brand-new to almost a year old. But as we’ve already posted, the show started strong withWindbound, a gorgeous littleopen ocean Zelda-like from the folks who made Satellite Reign. We also sawnew footageofWe Are The Caretakers, an afrofuturist strategy under the narrative lead of RPS contributor (and my one-time dev partner) Xalavier Nelson Jr, set to open up a “limited” open beta on June 16th.
Long-elusive games likeRökiandEl Hijoalso made their own fleeting appearances. Yes, they still look lovely. Yes, we’d still love to see release dates for either. There was also a truly exhaustive amount of cyberpunk (the genre, not theCD Projekt game). Frankly, I think it’s time to call a brief hiatus on rain-dappled streets and neon kanji signage, if only to give my eyes a rest.
Rather than piecing together whole new trailers, some devs on show chose to chat about their games instead. Screenshot Saturdays regularMinute Of Islandsmade a brief appearance in this regard, as did co-op bird ‘em upKeyWe, following its brief showing aWholesome Directlast month.
At a little over two hours long, The Escapist’s Indie Showcase certainly captured the spirit of this perpetual summer of E3. We’ve put together anE3 2020 stream schedulefor easy browsing, and to remind ourselves that they’re somehow running well into August. Crikey.
