Now that both Sony and Microsoft have had their reveals i think its time to discuss the upcoming E3 event. This is set to massive.

Sony have yet to show the actual box, Microsoft have yet to show any actual game play and Nintendo will be sure to have a few tricks up their sleeves.

I for one can't wait.

What are everyones predictions?

[Hotbird]

Lots and lots of disappointment

But hopefully lots and lots of great new games, amazing new IPs and some new innovative gameplay ideas which don't require a camera.

Apparently MS will be totally focused on gaming in their conference (Or so I have read around the internet)

After last night, I hope so, I mean, really, just how many more ways can they promote TV and Sports?

[thomas2400]

Got to agree with lots and lots of disappointed, one of my friends make as big as deal out of E3 as i do

Two years ago we planned it out, got shit loads of snacks and drinks and then sat back ready watch it on his Big HD telly and it was horrible

Last year we just decided to chat over facebook about what we liked, pretty much both agreed again that it was shite

This year with two new consoles showing off their launch games and both needing to blow the roof of to win this christmas maybe, just maybe it will be a great show

and let's not forget its not just sony and MS who need to impress, publishers like EA, Ubisoft etc need to convince you to part with your cash on the more expensive next gen versions of their games

Honestly though being such a Final Fantasy fanboy, the dream would be that Square Enix come out on the stage of the Sony Conference and say something along the lines of

'Final Fantasy Versus XIII is now Final Fantasy XV and it was launch exclusively for PS4 on the Launch day of the PS4' and then for me at least it will be the greatest E3 in years

[caz06]

Hoping we'll get to see a Mirrors Edge 2

[2Dshmuplover]

Me too, very excited now, not so much for the conferences as they are cringey as all hell but certainly the announcements. It's been confirmed Rare are working on a new core title which is a sequel to one of their key franchises...Banjo Kazooie? Killer Instinct? Perfect Dark? I can't wait to find out.

Also excited for Forza Motorsport 5, Quantum Break and all the other announcements from the other devs, hoping to also see an exclusive IP from Epic.

Nintendo's new Mario game, maybe we'll see something of Zelda too?

Will be great to finally see the PS4 too, Drive Club is interesting and to see whatever else they announce along with seeing more Gran Turismo 6 on PS3. *snigger*

[Monkey Munch]

I would love to see some clarity about both systems now they have had their reveals

Apart from that I guess I'll sit there ready to be courted by both parties so i can start to make a decision

[Flawed-Tactics]

Lots of disappointment? Are you guys for real?

Sony will be showing some stuff nobody knows about, we know MS will be doing the same, so this is gonna be the most exciting E3 in years IMHO.

We are going to be seeing Sony's new console for the first time.

We going to see game play of brand new games.

New ideas, new directions, new ways to play.

Bloody hell I'm gonna be glued!

But I'll tell you something right now, I wont be coming on here to read all the negitive drivel. This E3 is only the very beginning of next gen, what ever we see there will only get better as devs rip into these new machines.

So happy E3 to everyone on DS, hope you enjoy - like that will hapoen.

[Speedloafer]

I don't get what he big deal is personally. I have never looked forward to any of these events. Its just a few gaming previews in early stages. You may get some gameplay footage (wow) which may or may not be in the final stages. And you will hear people tell you about games that you know are going to be released if you read about online your reaction would be, "Looks good but lets see what the reviews say."

I mean yes, there may be some new games coming out that we have not heard about and yes they will make it sound like the second coming, in a world where 90% of all games are garbage very little excites me.

Yes Sony and Microsoft will try to outdo each other and each of their fanboys will say they have the best line up. Unless one of them exclusive a major franchise then its just meh.

In the last few years, they haven't been too focused on games at E3, they spent a lot of time talking about Smartglass and the like. This year they have no excuse, if they do a conference at E3 and it is anything like last years or the reveal, I think the internet may explode with rage lol.

I think that is why they decided to reveal so close to E3, they only have to deal with people asking about games for 3 weeks. I expect thier showing to be very game focused. And hopefully not the usual, look we have have a trailer for COD that will also be available on PS yay! Now is the time to trot out those new exclusive ip's.

Saying all that though, their shows go down well with mainstream media, it's us 'gamers' that get all annoyed, I may not agree with thier approach but it works for millions of other people so what do I know lol. I can actually see MS coming out of this better than Sony, because Sony haven't talked corperate BS yet, their conference is 2 hours and will include the boring stuff we don't care about. Plus they haven't addressed used games at all yet. They are going into it in a stronger position but at the end it will be pretty even I reckon.

I am really excited though, I wan't to know what Sony's studios are up to, I think there are something like 12 first party studios, they are most likely all working on PS4, and I can't wait to see what they have come up with. Also, please let Kaz turn up! He was missed at the PS meeting.

Also, I want Square Enix to redeem themselves after the infamous 'please be excited for E3' debacle.

[SimonB79]

I'm looking forward 2 seeing mariokart in action that's about it!

Sony need a longer show as they have more platforms to support. The 360 is dead as far a MS 1st party studios are concerned. They don't have any more AAA games left to come out whereas Sony still has at least 3 to release as well as developing for the PS4 and Vita.

As for Squeenix, I'm still waiting for Versus XIII but news/footage of a new Deus Ex would be awesome.

[Chelsea Saint]

Yep, looking forward to this. No predictions, apart from my long held November launch view. I'm also keen to hear/see more about..

New PS+ Structure
Remote Play
Gaikai
Internet Browser
Physical Reveal
PSV Evolve/Plans
Pricing
Launch Confirm. Though as mentioned above and stated on here a while back, November is my considered estimate.

Games of course. In particular..

UC4?
PGA Golf
Everybody’s Golf?
Witcher 3
Diablo 3

Also mildly interested to hear more about the 'One' after it's rather moderate debut showing. Should be a highly entertaining few days.

This is true, I really hope they show the Vita some love this year. It doesn't look good to 3rd party devs if Sony aren't even pushing 1st party titles on the thing. The Vita is such a great platform, I wish more people would buy it, although I totally get why people haven't. That's why Sony needs to push it hard with 1st party games and hopefully a price drop as an extra incentive.

Sony have a good track record of supporting older platforms. The PS3 will be a big part of the show, they always said it would have a 10 year life cycle, with announcements like GT6 this late in the game it just might be true. I'll buy a PS4 eventually but at the moment I'm happy with my PS3. Maybe i'll upgrade towards the end of next year.

[Lackadaisical]

Ratchet & Clank for PS4...

[Chparmar]

Maybe we will see this feature in action:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...or-watching-tv

Honestly, I am starting to feel sorry for people strongly attached to te Xbox brand. But I am sure E3 will remedy this.

In reailty, I am just hoping Sony, which has the best next gen system goes hard on its exclusive games and Nintendo show some of that unique magic they produce from time to time.

[gillyallan]

This is going to be potentially the biggest and best E3 ever for me. So looking forward to it

[Sam Seed]

Me too, im itching to see what everyone reveals from consoles to bf4, cod, release dates and pricing etc

[He4rt]

The Microsoft cenference has been confirmed to be on june 10th, and is going to be sometime in the morning as attendees have been asked to be there at 8:45PDT. So we should be able to watch it in the UK around 5pm ish.

Got the day off that day as well so im definitely watching it.

[OMTT]

All I'm wanting to know from this E3 is the release date & price of PS4

[Sick Bullet]

Areed.

I take it given the time the conferences are on and factoring in the time difference means that most of the stuff will be happening after working hours?

[Flawed-Tactics]

The 10th is the first day of my holidays from work, so I MIGHT take a peek at this E3 thing

[Danger Close]

First up is MS conf scheduled to start at 09:00pdt = 17:00gmt

Sony last up at 18:00pdt = 02:00gmt

[ags_rule]

I think this will be a huge E3. Reveals of games, consoles and probably even prices.

Looking forward to it.
