E3 2013

Sakonosolo

So, with Microsoft's conference kicking off in a little over 12 hours, figured I'd make a thread so the discussion isn't split up between the 3 or so threads we already have for the main conferences. Post what games you're excited for, your thought on what's already been revealed, as well as discuss the conferences themselves when they start. Here's the schedule:

Microsoft:  6/10 12:00PM EST/9AM PST
EA:         6/10 3:20PM EST/12:20PM PST
Ubisoft:    6/10 5:40PM EST/2:40PM PST
Sony:       6/10 8:20PM EST/5:20PM PST

Nintendo (direct): 6/11 10AM EST/7AM PST

If there are more Nintendo directs that I'm forgetting I'll add them if someone tells me about them.

Only Microsoft's and EA's conferences are airing on Spike.

I'm looking forward to Microsoft avoiding questions about how "cloud computing" will bypass the bottleneck that is the internet, and instead just tell us that it will turn every XBone into a supercomputer. As long as they don't let people ask those questions in the first place it should be fine.

But what I'm actually interested in is if Sony is going to respond directly to the DRM campaign.

If getting hyped for E3 is gathering as many friends as possible to watch E3 together and laugh at everything that happens, then LEZ GET HYPE!

Pfff! Microsoft has refused to do the Q&A that happens after their press conference, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Sakonosolo

I'm going to have to deal with my brother calling me a hipster during the Microsoft conference when I'm not as excited as he is about it. He's easily susceptible to their marketing talk.

@Insider2000:

That's because they know they don't have any answers if someone happens to call them out on a various number of things.

@Sakonosolo:

Just tell him that your internet speed running at its maximum will allow the cloud to increase the Xbone's computing power by about 0.02%. And that no amount of computing power in the world on the other end can change that.

You can also inform him that their cloud logic would suggest that the 360 gets 12x more powerful when connected to Xbox Live for multiplayer.

The Spaceman

I'm really excited for Sony. Also really interested to see what Microsoft does, if anything, to alleviate all the terrible buzz around them.

Stop making excuses, you dirty hipster :ninja:

How are you guys planning on watching the Sony and Ubisoft confrences, anyway? Spike (the only TV channel that covers E3 stuff) isn't showing it, and live streaming via internet tends to lag and generally sucks, so…..

What are you people doing during conference live? istn' it during like work hours?

I assume i will be coming home from work and typing in e3 on google and watching the video in the highest quality I can. No worries about lag or anything then.

Sakonosolo

I'm going to be streaming the conferences with my terrible connection. Shame, though I suppose most of the stuff is going to be uploaded in good quality afterwards.

Buuhan1

So guys, should I get up early and watch Microsoft's conf? I am literally -100% interested in the Xbone. The only reason I wanna watch it is to see just what crap they'll pull and to see possible third-party reveals.

Noqanky

Nintendo hype. BRING IT!

Also, my best wishes to Sony, may they keep heading in the right direction. XBone I'll presumably hear about later from the media.

Cyber-Robin

Nintendo I'm excited for, but we already know whats coming. Microsoft I'll be watching tonight for the lols. EA….hahahaaha no. Ubisoft and Sony I wouldn't mind watching but they're on at ridiculous times and I need to be up.

I've already decided I aint gonna touch a PS4 likely until it's re-release, or until it gets some decent Japan support. So Sony need to really blow me away with some incredible looking JRPGs for launch/close to launch, or at least announced backwards compatibility for that. Dark Cloud 3 would be a start. Although I'm expecting new installments in the Resistance and Little Big Planet franchises to be announced. Possibly another Uncharted. AND they need to blow me away with the Vita's lineup too to make me keep that (after I finish up Persona 4) else I'm selling it. 1 game since November and nothing on the way is just ridiculous. They have the likes of Tales of in Japan. Throw money at Namco to get them to bring it out. Nah. Probably another God of War.

Anyways. Kinda Unrealistic things I wanna see announced:

Nintendo bought two IPs from some homeless guy in a car park. Announce Blast Corps 3DS and Perfect Dark U. Former is made by the guys who did Luigi's Mansion 2, latter is by Retro. Neither due out till late 2014.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is the Wii U exclusive 'that will cause more butthurt than Bayonetta.' Atlus being buddy buddy with Nintendo confirms Persona 5 to be coming out on Wii U too. 4: Golden is also ported to the console. Dragon Quest XI is a Wii U exclusive
Mother 3 is to be the first 'Japan only' game to be announced for the west, using the fan scripts. Earthbound is announced for release before the end of the week.
Star Ocean, Dark Cloud, Wild Arms, Suikoden and Legaia to get new installments on the PS4/Vita.
Microsoft announce an exclusive partnership with EA to form the company 'Shipwreck' their combined forces manage to force both out of the business.

I honestly don't know why folks are hopelessly STILL trying to clench onto this idea as a possibility.

Venomous Warden

Didnt know where else to post this, but i suppose the E3 thread is as good as any. Its rumored that a few games from microsofts xbox one lineup have been revealed

check em out, take it with a grain of salt though too since it is just a rumor

[hide]

_Leaked Microsoft E3 slate

An image was also posted showing the logos for some of the games.

The full list also includes Killer Instinct, Forza Motorsport 5, Quantum Break, Halo: Spartan Assault, Ryse, Crackdown 3, Fortnite, Dead Rising 3, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Battlefield 4, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dying Light, Prey 2, Homefront 2,Beyond Good & Evil 2, Mirror's Edge 2, Rainbow 6: Patriots, Brother in Arms: Furious Four and League of Legends.

Microsoft has previously teased_ _the return of a beloved Rare property, with Banjo-Kazooie fitting the bill.

The company was also reported to have been involved in a failed attempt to trademark Killer Instinct - another Rare property - last year.

Fable 4_ _was also rumored to have entered development last month.

The leak is yet to be verified as legitimate._[/hide]
A few of those sound far too good to be true, but i guess we will find out tomorrow

Cyber-Robin

Isn't that the same source that said the PS4 would get a new Dragons Dogma and the Wii U would get an exclusive Darkstalkers game?

I think it was proved false not long after :/

Im not sure if it is the same source, but its possible so i wouldnt be surprised if it was all BS too.

Gaiyae

Hyped as hell. Will probably watch the Xbox event and Nintendo Direct live (even though the ND isn't actually live :P).
The Sony event starts around 2:00 AM here, so i'm probably going to watch that in the morning.

I think most of what you want are more suited to an announcement at TGS rather than E3. Also Kingdom Hearts 3 and Persona 5 WiiU exclusives? Why you gotta be like that man! :sad:

My expectations for E3 are pretty low but I really hope Sega announce that they are bringing Persona 5 to the west, that's all it would take to make me happy.

Fandom does that to ya.
If Bayonetta or Lego City would also come to the ps360, watch Nintendo fans get butthurt for the same reason.

There's a special pokemon panel and 2am UK time on the 12th of June.

I have friends round to drink so we may watch the ps3 one and i have tomorrow of so woo nintendo.

For the nintendo one i'm expecting mainly gameplay/trailers for games we know about but not seen much of like wind waker HD, mario u, smash U, bayonetta, FExSMT.
Then they'll announce 2 new games. One will be retro studios and the other i don't know. May be something random by a 1st party or a second party title but it will be exclusive. Pokemon get's it's own panel so none of that.

Does atlus go to e3? I've only gotten into there games this year but i hope so and hope persona arena 2 is announced. Really liked that game

Where can we watch it? Anyone post some livestream links or something?

Yes, but I believe it'll be powered by the ps3's web browser so you're better off on a computer. It'll also be broadcasted in Home… yeah.

No point in waking up early tomorrow either. Nintendo made it super easy.

Wake up whenever you want and go directly to Nintendo.com and watch the direct. You get to watch it then perfectly whenever you wake up, unless of course you get up earlier than it first airs. But no worries of spoilers or missing parts or anything.

As long as you go to the Nintendo website first to watch the direct before heading off to gamespot, ign, 1up, spiketv, ect. Then there will be no spoilers and it will look like your watchign it live.

The Laughing Man

So… Who do you think is going to have the best conference this year, between Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo? I'll say this: Sony is going into E3 with the easiest time as compared to Microsoft and Nintendo. But at least Nintendo has a very easy way to redeem their console (just release the games people want, i.e. new Super Smash Bros, new Zelda etc. etc)

As for Microsoft... Good luck. You're going to need it, badly!

KaizokuJinbei

It will be a close tie between Sony and Nintendo

The Laughing Man

@KaizokuJinbei:

Even though I don't plan to get a Wii U, and instead, plan to get a PS4 (unless something miraculous happens with the Xbox One), I think Nintendo could very well take the cake.

Reggie man… Reggie is such an amazing presenter/marketer. Love that guy to death. lol

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Here's another livestream link for people: http://www.twitch.tv/twitch

Hinscher

I say Nintendo. They have nothing to worry about but showcasing games. Then also add to fact that the Wii U is struggling, so they will want to make it seem super appealing.

Meanwhile Microsoft while having potential to show a bunch of "new" games since we saw nothing really during their pre-conference has to deal with the fact that there are a crap load of concerns with their HARDWARE

Sony on the other hand has less Hardware concerns, at least that we know of, but there is always the crucial PRICE ($600 anyone) and the fact that we saw quite a few exclusives already back in their first showing. Thus we might not see too many "new" games.

That's my take on it anyway. Nintendo should be 100% games, while Sony and Microsoft will have to split the time to discuss hardware, controllers, ect and showcasing games, showing off online infastructure, social networking, ect. The amount of crap the ps4 and xbone have on their operating systems could take a whole conference to discuss in detail. Thus to even scratch the surface will take up some time that could be on showcasing games.

And I'm sure I'm like most peopel watching e3, all I want to see is games. Couldn't care less about how I can push a share button and upload to youtube or skype with someone while playing, ect.

The Laughing Man

If Nintendo shows off the new Super Smash Bros. currently in production at their conference, then they will take the cake for sure. Heck… Even a new Star Fox or an actually decent, modern Kirby game would be much welcomed.

I'm not really sure what Microsoft or Sony could pull out that would floor the audience like a Super Smash Bros. I guess if Microsoft could actually show off these "15 exclusives" they mentioned at the One reveal conference, and not have most of them being shooters or Kinect-only titles, that would be pretty cool. As for Sony: They can just keep doing what they're doing with their exclusives etc. but I would like to see more JRPGs, heck...some RPGs in general, something PS3 lacked at launch and sometime after.

The Smash trailer has been confirmed for like months and was again recently confirmed like a couple days ago.

That is one thing that will keep nintendo from walking away like boss'. People rating or gaming websites rating who "won" will be like "we knew smash was coming anyway, so its not a megaton" Meanwhile they will give some new IP with a 10 second cgi trailer the hugest hype and say it wont he conference for "X" console.

Well I'm off to work. Have fun watching conferences live. I'll be back to watch conference when I get home and then pop back in this thread to read all the posts. Be neat to read reactions after I watched conference.

Also you guys should be able to then help me know which other conferences or things to watch. Such as ubisoft or something.

I'm going to take their word for it and be blown away by how much Microsoft is invested in digging their own graves in this industry.
