E3 2018: 13 Biggest WTF Moments

11. Square Enix's Entire Conference

The fact that this Square Enix would be returning to the E3 fray again was enticing. They certainly had enough pre-announced games that had been held close to the vest over years, so this raised all sorts of excitement. Surely this was the right time to finally show something substantial of the Final Fantasy VII Remake or their untitled Avengers game?

If that was going through your mind pre-show, then you were no doubt about to be very disappointed. Enix’s conference basically boiled to a dull pre-recorded half hour trailer reel.

Most of the main games (Kingdom Hearts 3, Just Cause 4, etc) had already been shown at other conferences with only a fairly underwhelming Tomb Raider section really being significant. A couple of brief teasers later and the show wrapped up. There was minor interesting nugget here-and-there - PlatinumGames' Babylon's Fall looked awesome - but it was few and far between.

It’s hard to hate on anything narrated by Keith David but the show was just plain lacking - one really wonders why they even bothered? Go hard or go home if you're coming to E3.
