E3 2013 | RETR-oh no....

faint

Banned deucer.
Figured I'd make a thread for my favorite holiday of the year. You can find all the information you need to know below. This year is going to be huge. Get fucking hyped.

Where can I watch?

GameTrailers: http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/
IGN: http://www.ign.com/events/e3
Nintendo Direct: US EU JP

You can also watch all of the conferences on Spike TV with the exception of Nintendo and Sony.
 
So fucking hyped for that nintendo direct. Cannot wait to get a glimpse of the next smash bros. Looking forward to the Sony and Ubisoft press conferences as well. I'm pretty indifferent to the EA.

I'm definitely not looking forward to another session of tv-sports-call of duty-dog from Microsoft, but this alleged leak has my hopes up for what's in the top left hand corner. What gives this leak more credibility than others is that Microsoft has said Rare will have a "historic franchise" at E3 and that Halo Spartan Assault was confirmed the day after the image started circulating. I guess it's still only a leak and should be taken with a grain of salt but... I can't help but get my hopes up

I am a massive Banjo-Kazooie fan and I've been quietly hoping Rare would unveil a proper Banjo 3 for four E3s in a row. A sequel 13 years overdue would be amazing.

If it turns to be some Nintendoland-esc kinect demonstration, I will smack every bitch
 
Unfortunately I have a summer class starting tomorrow so I won't be able to catch all of E3 live but at least I can definitely see the Ubisoft, Sony, and Pokemon conferences. Nintendo too if I can wake up, I'd love to see Smash4 Trailer live.

Xbox One is gonna have to pull out some huge guns, I have no idea what they could use to get out of the gigantic hole they have dug themselves into it. A solid conference is all Sony really needs to start off a dominant generation. The WiiU can begin its comeback with the strong first parties and I have the most hope for this one, if anything can do it it's definitely Smash.

I'm not expecting a damn thing from EA and I hope Ubisoft can be as awesome as it was last year and not just talk about Assassin's Creed 4.
 
pretty excited for ubisoft's presentation, specifically assassin's creed IV and watch dogs. i know many people thought ACIII was awful but i really enjoyed it and have high hopes for black flag

ever hopeful for fallout 4
 
Sick, hyped for the smash bros and super luigi! Nintendo is really going all out, they never seem to dissapoint it seems.......

But dang, gonna be hilarious seeing the Microsoft event. I don't know how they're gonna pull themselves up with the uproar that they've caused. But it will definitely be funny watching the interactions between the fans and the workers.
 
ahhhh smash bros

here's the likely list of games at the best buy demo stations:

Super Luigi U
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Zelda: Wind Waker HD

source

and a list of locations

Ugh, I was considering going to one of these but now I'm not sure if I want to. New Super Luigi U I can't imagine being that different from the New SMB titles. Pikmin 3 is probably good but its probably pretty similar to the first two. Wind Waker HD is a remake. I might go just for Wonderful 101, as I like what I've seen of it, but I would have been so much happier with the new 3d Mario game and/or Sonic Lost World.
 
Sony's going to win, Nintendo's going to be tapping it's fingers together like a James Bond villain and Microsoft is currently at the bottom of the well.

That's at least my prediction on what E3's going to be like this year.
 
theres so much hype coming into this e3 theres no way its gonna disappoint

all that nerd drama maann i can't wait
 
My girl wood is ready.

Sadly, I won't be able to watch any of the conferences besides the Nintendo Direct and maybe the Ubisoft conference cause I have a test tomorrow, argh.

I'm really interested in what Sony has to offer. After that dismal Xbone reveal, I'm looking into buying a PS4 in the future, but I'm not really sure yet. Sony better do a great job in selling me this thing.

3D Mario + Smash Bros + one or two surprises will make for an excellent E3 showing from Nintendo. I'm anxious to know what Retro's new game is too. I really want it to be a new Star Fox, but I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment when it isn't Star Fox.

Microsoft? lol no chance.

Don't give a shit about EA. Never cared too much for Ubisoft's games, but Watch_Dogs looks pretty interesting.
 
This is pretty much Sony's conference to lose, if they end up revealing stuff that is more in line with what Microsoft is doing, then I can see it turning kinda ugly (after all, birds of a feather...). However, if they are at all smart or have any shred of intelligence left, Sony will position itself as the anti-Xbox One and probably win a lot more of the audience. They don't even need game promotion at this point since it's largely assumed all 3rd party titles will be inter-compatible as has been for the last few generations, just say that nothing's changing with regards to used titles and always on connection is not required and they'll win the day. I hope they'll be improving their multiplayer online experience as well, yes it's free, but why else is Microsoft still making a killing charging for theirs? Because the Sony one kinda stinks.

As for Nintendo, just introduce more first party titles and actually make them come out soon. We get your 3rd party is still in the shits and it probably will always be at this point, but that's why your 1st party titles are all that more important and you need more of them. And of course, as the only really decent handheld remaining since the Vita is yet another flop, hopefully they have some answers considering smartphones and tablets are eating away at that market pretty heavily.

Microsoft? They're going to be all about damage control at this point, if it's even possible. I mean if you think about it, the "have to connect every 24 hours" thing technically isn't unreasonable for your average teenager or young adult in America, but for the more rural parts, overseas, military, hell places with bad wifi or companies, etc, it's more akin to a death sentence. At this point I expect them to lean heavily on promoting whatever 1st party or exclusives they can nab and retain.
 
I heard on irc the Xbox One would have exceptions for military. Don't know how that'll work or anything but if it's true it's even bigger bullshit.
 
Does Microsoft see itself as some sort of dictatorship, able to pick and choose who gets what? The funny part is that most of the games that'll come out for the system will be war games if the 360 is anything to go off of.

"Oh yeah, you get exempt from it to play the next eighty CoDs. Enjoy!"
 
I shouldn't be this way, but I'm a tad disappointed by the E3 Best Buy demos. I was hoping for, I don't know, something I'd actually care to play. But I guess beggars can't be choosers. Wonderful 101 kind of looks interesting maybe. But the others, I'm not even interested in. lol@Windwaker. Unless it has something seriously new, like Tetra's Trackers included, yeah we've beaten that a billion times.

something like 25%-30% of Americans still lack a broadband connection. By requiring decent internet you immediately alienate 1 in 4 potential customers. I know you're not defending the decision or anything, but it's kinda far from reasonable, "technically" or otherwise. I don't know how a multi-million dollar company says "hey, I've got a great idea: let's alienate 75 million potential customers, I'm sure nobody will get pissed off at all!"

if this is true then "bullshit" doesn't cover it, it's just imposing arbitrary restrictions for shits and giggles.

On a lighter note: I'm mostly just interested in more Watch_Dogs (do they stylize it that way?) info, and would shit my pants over a Fallout 4 announcement that everyone has basically no reason to anticipate.
 
I'm looking forward to Battlefield 4...I just want to see what the new Frostbite 3 engine has to show. The trailer looks awesome enough, but now I want to see some more gameplay.
