that way I can avoid the fake smiles and the "we are so cool" bullcrap.

Nobody watches E3 for the games, they watch it for magical moments like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08G1HFHllrU

Also a much better Deus Ex gameplay demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUn6cyh9-Ic

I'll skip most presentations as usual, but I'll watch Nintendo's stuff and be disappointed, as usual.

I find it much more enjoyable to read about all the new announcements, that way I can avoid the fake smiles and the "we are so cool" bullcrap.

Seen some comments that this year we may be seeing a lot of VR stuff, that could be interesting

Now if if only I could afford VR stuff.

I imagine we'll be seeing a decent chunk of gameplay what with the multiplayer teaser trailer they released earlier this week. I still don't understand why everyone seems so excited for the game though, I get that it was a neat trailer, I get that people are tired of the current modern/futuristic setting but everyone seems to forget that DICE's previous releases over the past few years have been far from perfect. 

I'm not so much excited for it as I am slightly interested to see if it's just a copy of BF4 without the lock on nonsense, a copy of battlefront and complete poo, or actually having decent unique mechanics for things.  Just the fact that they didn't go modern/futuristic with it makes me believe it has a better chance of being a decent game rather than the unbalanced crap we've been getting since BC2.  But I want to see real game footage before thinking it's going to be worth the purchase or not.  I expect to be disappointed because DICE has only disappointed me since BC2 but hey maybe I'll be wrong.

Also because GC things which really doesn't impact anyone here other than me and gwyn. 

Dues Ex: Mankind Divided - Breach Trailer:

This seems kinda cool and kinda lame at the same time.  Still excited for the game because I like the series but not sure if this is what I'm really wanting to play.  Hopefully it's a "sidequest" sort of deal that isn't majorly featured in the main story because I didn't ask for this.

While I think it was an ok trailer all I could think about while watching is how much I don't want to play this game, I can't stand the whole hipster hacker revolution bullshit but that's just me personally, still an alright trailer.

Yuck indeed. The Hipster-hacker was KINDA a thing in WD1, but it wasn't completely thrown in your face. Here it looks ridiculous.  I looked at the gameplay trailer for it and it just looked like poo


Playing through co-op might be fun though.

From EA, we'll be seeing Battlefront 2

It feels so strange reading that. Considering it was a Star Wars game and a new addition to the battlefront series it just passed by and now we're on to a ''sequel'' already. It's just strange looking back and seeing how little impact the game had.

Bethesda, meh. Why do they have their own show?

I really enjoyed Bethesda's show last year, probably because they had so much to reveal/show. There are a few rumoured games so it might be as interesting as last year. Some sort of Fallout DLC will be shown but I don't care. Apparently Bethesda are also set to announce a Skyrim remaster which just completely baffles me, why would they choose to remaster their latest elder scrolls game? With just how similar Fallout 4 looked to Skyrim it's going to look like garbage, thanks to Bethesda using the same engine for the last ten years. It's said to include all of the DLC and some mods, it just seems like a lazy cash grab to me. There is no reason what so ever to buy this on PC, it's purely for console players to experience some mods for Skyrim. Just make a new game with a new engine already.

hoping real unscripted gameplay of BF1 is shown

As is custom with E3 now, everything gets leaked/released during the week before E3 so here are some trailers for some of the bigger games.

A prologue to a game that will never be finished.

Horizon Zero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4-FCsiF5x4
Remember this from last year, looks neat even if most of the dialogue in the trailer was just bad.

Agents of Mayhem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8sFlno9Fs0
Thought the trailer was kind of shit but I included it because ''Ahoy Motherfuckers''


 

nintendo will maybe show their new console.  I want to see if I can keep slagging them for another year for not giving a shit about anyone outside of japan, but mostly a don't care.

hoping CDPR shows off something for cyberpunk 2077.  now that the last witcher 3 expansion is out it's their next main title so hopefully they start giving something other than a 3 year old teaser trailer (that is still an awesome teaser).  I'd settle for concept art even at this point, just want to see where they are going with it.

hoping real unscripted gameplay of BF1 is shown so I know if I should actually pay attention or blow off this BF release until mid 2017 when it actually works.  otherwise EA isn't doing anything I care about.

after becoming extremely disappointed in the way the devs drove the division, I'm not too keen on anything ubi is doing at the moment.  may pay attention to wildlands and for honor (played the alpha for that and it was fun for a giggle in short bursts) if they are shown.

square enix, well we've got deus ex mankind divided I'm interested in and the FFVII remake and FFXV.  deus ex is due out at the end of august so we'll likely get some goodies on it.  FFXV is due out in september so it'll probably get a big spot as well.  FFVII release isn't going to happen this year and maybe not even next year so probably just some more teasing.

sony I really don't care about anything they are doing unless it's related to FF or Gran Turismo. 

MS I simply could not care less about.  probably will be a lot of EA stuff since IIRC EA has a deal with MS.

bethesda is another don't care, I doubt they are going to have anything major anyways unless it's a big FO4 expansion or teasing a new elder scrolls title.

From EA, we'll be seeing Battlefront 2, probably. I'm also hoping to see the next batch of SW games in general, we know they are working on another RPG, and rumours are a 3rd person shooter + one further rumoured but unknown title.  Hopefully more info on Battlefield One.

Bethesda, meh. Why do they have their own show?  It's too soon for a Doom or Fallout game, and at their normal pace I'd be surprised if they give us an Elder Scrolls. FO4 was so poo I don't expect anything good from them, maybe just some stuff on the next Dishonoured game which is confirmed but no details yet.

Microsoft: Console poo.

PCGS: That wasnt total shit last time, and a very different format to the other presentations. Not sure what to expect, but I certainly don't expect any of the "big reveals" on that show.

Ubi:  Wildlands I'm looking forward to. They're not doing an Assassins Creed this year, and they just did a Farcry, not sure what to expect. Watch Dogs 2 maybe?   Probably will be heavily about Division DLC.

Sony: Interested to see what's coming next from naughty dog. Another game in the The Last Of Us universe has been confirmed, I'd like to see some more of that.  We'll probably also get some No Mans Sky footage (overhyped boring sounding game of the year right there)

Nintendo: lol.




Honestly this year, no idea where things will go. Of course no doubt like last year we'll be getting all of the announcements this week leading up to E3 so the show itself has no reveals.

So with E3 being less than a week away and it being pretty quiet around here I thought now was a great time to make an E3 thread. Feel free to post predictions, hopes and dreams (soon to be crushed), reveals and Todd Howard memes.

E3 2016 Press Conferences Schedule:

• EA: Sunday 16:00 EST/21:00 BST
• Bethesda: Sunday 22:00 EST/03:00 BST
• Microsoft: Monday 12:30 EST/17:30 BST
• PC Gaming Show: Monday 15:00 EST/20:00 BST
• Ubisoft: Monday 16:00 EST/21:00 BST
• Sony: Monday 21:00 EST/02:00 BST
• Nintendo: Tuesday 12:00 EST/17:00 BST

So here are a few things we might see this year and just a quick reminder of games that still exist:

New consoles? or more appropriately ''console of choice.5'' It seems more likely that Sony will be the one to reveal their ''.5'' console, I don't really know much about these new consoles though. I'm sure if they are revealed the reception will be interesting either way.

Where the games at? So I expect more Final Fantasy, I've lost count of all these FF related projects recently but the obvious ones being FFXV and FFVll remake. Hopefully we get to see more of FFVll in particular, I don't really have any interest in the game but I'm really interested to see what they do with it.   

Have you prayed to our lord and saviour Mr Hideo Kojima? He's going to be closing out Sony's press conference this year. Screenshot this shit. Ok, that's unlikely but I definitely think Sony will bring him on stage just to remind us that he's still alive and working on a game (exclusive?) for their platform.

Games that I'm personally excited for? Halo Wars 2, really enjoyed the first but never expected a sequel.
Ghost Recon Wildlands, haven't heard anything about it since last E3, hopefully we'll see more this year.
Last Guardian? Shenmue 3? who am I kidding.
 
You guys care about VR? No? Too bad because Phil Spencer and whoever Sony wheels out are going to be hammering home just how Innovative and Revolutionary it is and how VR technology will find a New Home on their (new?) platforms for an hour straight.

I also predict Nintendo will once again leave us all disappointed even though they have a new console to reveal (which they won't).

I kept it short, there are more games I'd like to see/discuss but I'd be here all day. Would really appreciate any and all contributions to the thread, let me see you get your hopes up so I can laugh at you when they reveal a mobile game of your favourite franchise/series. Also if anybody wants to hang out and watch the conferences together Sunday or Monday that would be neat.
