Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Devolver Digital Continues To Impress

Devolver Digital Continues To Impress

Due to E3 being cancelled, game companies and publishers have pretty much had to announce everything online for obvious reasons. Out of all of them each year I always anticipate Devolver Digital’s ridiculous shows. as that has been a tradition since 2017 when they made what I would consider the best E3 presentation in history. If you’ve never seen it go check a look:

This year Devolver kicked things in a different direction, and not only released their “Devolver Direct” stream but also release Devolverland Expo on Steam; An E3 Booth Simulator built on Unreal Engine 4.

 

If you’re familiar with Devolver’s yearly shenanigans you’ll pretty much expect what’s to come when you wander through the convention center. Each booth you visit has a game trailer you can watch, and you can even obtain secret objects to unlock unannounced game trailers. It’s a pretty cool concept, and actually should have been done sooner just to give those who are unable to go a chance to experience their games in a simulated personal matter.

There’s even a boss battle at the end! After making your way to the end you obtain a power glove. This will come in handy (no pun intended) when the boss starts throwing giant sawblade like CD’s and bombs at you. This was a blast from start to finish, and I still need to go back and find the secret items. 😛 I was impressed by all the additional details at each booth, and the overall humor.

Haven’t had this kind of fun since The Stanley Parable and Jazzpunk. I hope we get something like this again next year. It was a fun experience! Of course, if you’re not into the first person shooter experience involved in traversing this simulator you can always enjoy the Devolver Direct Livestream:
