It's coming up to that time of the year again. I'm always interested in the event simply because a good few laughs come out of it not to mention the primary reason of major announcements by developers. This year I think Nintendo will have something pretty drastic. Hopefully something to beef up the 3DS' library and not to mention details on Project Cafe. New Pokemon game info would be nice too. Sony... I am not all that bothered with. The last three years have been an absolute bore fest and I actually nearly nodded off a year or two back because it was so bad. All I can pray for is Sony E3 2006 to happen once more. Some news on their new handheld wouldn't be bad though. As for Microsoft. Not a damn given. I really don't care for their controller free shenanigans. I expect they might try and undercut Nintendo by announcing a new console too but we shall see. Then of course there are all the developer conferences and booths themselves. Yeah, it's shaping up to be good. I just hope Ubisoft die in the plane journey over or whatever.

I highly doubt Sony will be worrying much about this with their recent incidents. So I'm expecting very little, if anything from them. But 360 has some new things I wanna see so I'm going with them again.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how they address that albeit if they address at all. One to sweep under the carpet, perhaps? It's pretty embarrassing though. Either way, i'll watch all three of the main console developers. The one time Microsoft trounced PS3 with FFXIII was amazing. I could hear the screams of a million fanboys over the internet crying in unison; their unfathomable rage crashing the very sites they posted on.
Oh which reminds me, there was the year after when Sony announced FFXIV for the PS3 as if it was some sort of coup de grace. It really wasn't. Barely anyone cheered, nobody was fussed and the PC got it before PS3 users and even then it was panned mostly. I just heard something that their conference is FIVE HOURS long. Pffft.

I have an old rusty Xbox 360, that I hardly use anymore after getting my DS. Funny thing is, I've always liked Sony better than Microsoft when it comes to games. And, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with yous, but I like the Sony parts of X3.. mainly because Kevin Butler is lulzy.
I need to get live again, however. And possibly buy some new games for the good ole' 360. Assassin's Creed 2 hasn't gotten old though... (:

Rumor RUMOR is that we might catch a glimpse of the new playstation on the account Sony doesn't want to let nintendo get the foot hold of next gen consoles first. Also NGP! hoping for a reasonable price tag and release date that is pre holiday 2011
I'm actually looking forward to sony for the first time....ever...
I WANT MONSTER HUNTER PORTABLE 3 NGP LAUNCH TITLE TAKE ALL MY MONEY SONY JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HAVE THE GAME!!!!DUAL ANALOG STICKS!!!!
Microsoft is gonna throw us some kinect shit, hopefully some games..this year has been bad for 360...
Nintendo.. I don't even know, 3DS games, and Project cafe's opening lineup... Let's just hope they don't follow the path of the dreamcast
which is possible since they are copying the controller gimmick
Either way, sony has 5 hours, they better have something to blow my mind, I don't like Sony of this gen, I play all my online games on xbox, except Demons souls goddamn them for there shitty psp go support...oh well pirating games for me <3 but I have my hopes up..

www.ign.com/events/e3/2011/live-videoStreeaaaaaams! Glorious streams for the people. If anyone is actually awake to see them good, if we're lucky they'll save the conferences for those that miss anything they'd like to see.

Thanks for the link! Hopefully the IGN one won't have the same sort of problems it had last time. I think it completely stopped when they were show casing Metroid Other M.
On a side note... Urgh, that Sony conference is on preeeetty late. And if it's 5 hours long as i've heard that's going to be really early into the morning for me. Either way, Microsoft conference 3 hours from now. ;D Ubisoft are on today too. *loads gun and places to head*

Nintendo's conference is tomorrow, I'd say save your bullet for now atleast.
Oddly enough Microsoft's conference is being televised on Spike TV if you get that.

Ah true that. I'm pretty accustomed to Microsoft,Nintendo THEN Sony that I forgot about them. It really does seem like they've clustered it all into one day though. More than a little miffed about that.
As for SpikeTV, I don't think that airs over here in the UK but the stream should be good enough. Not long now before the show kicks off. ;D

First off I now hate Ubisoft and Gearbox for what they have done to Brothers in Arms what the ***** happened to realism (Sorry for my word choice but I just had to get that off my chest). Next to bad I have not heard of anything from E3 about Medal of Honor 2 but at least we know from Feburary it is in the works. Then the Pokemon game that was recently revealed is pretty weird to say the least here is hoping we see a World at War 2 at next E3 over Modern Warfare again since WAW was way better than any of the modern ones despite WWII being well covered I do not know if MW made an appearance at this E3 but It would not surprise me. The Batman Arkham City game sounds cool but again do not know if it made an appearance. Uncharted 3 looks amazing if only the Collectors edition was not $100. I know their are other games I am looking forward to and I do not know if some of the games I mentioned appeared I know WAW2 did not which since their was not any rumors anyways I was not expecting it despite the fact I would love a sequel. Finally Ubisoft and Gearbox MAKE BIA4 which is the end of Bakers story instead of the Crap of a game Fericious 4 or whatever it is called. www.gamesthirst.com/2011/06/06/brothers-in-arms-furious-4-announced-coming-first-half-of-2012-trailer-inside/#more-27019Link to the Horrendous Brothers in Arms Trailer

It's pretty low all around in my opinion, but Sony wasted alot of it's time. With the delay and the extended period of time covering the PSN outage they lost any time they had over Microsoft and Nintendo. Alot of their people seemed rushed too for some reason.

I do agree with your statements about them seeming rushed. I mean, it'd explain why they were so out of breath but then again... Huge stage + Developers who don't exercise much = Mucho trouble.
I saw Nintendo's today and despite some problems (Such as being interrupted half way through and missing the bomb being dropped on Wii U) it seemed okay for the most part. I'd definitely consider a B+ for them. The stage was cool and I loved their screens, no real cock ups apart from the orchestra at the beginning and for once I didn't see a sales chart anywhere. That is... Insane. Wii U also has some potential I think but not in the way they were presenting it.
Game announcements were mostly stuff we knew but it was nice to see further expansion on stuff like Mario Kart and Skyward Sword. So yeah... Could've done with more game announcements (Like that monopoly styled game with Dragon Quest characters and Mario ones... Yum). Oh and one down point was that huge lengthy discussion about the Pokedex app. That really seemed worthless as it was out today and was far too long in valuable time for what it is.
