E3 2015
 

Gametrailers have started doing their countdown to E3 videos, so it feels like E3 is happening finally, even with Bethesda blowing their load.

Not only that, but The Final Bosman was E3 Do's and Don'ts

Bethesda clearly will have a lot to say about FO4, and rightly so...mostly interested in story and gameplay details ATM. Would be nice to find out if it hasn't been mentioned yet, what year it takes place in.

I swear to christ if they say October 2015 like the rumors are pointing to a release date, I will lose my shit at 2am in the UK while I'm watching.

Hell yes.

Good god Activision are depressing right now

Is "classic franchises" a euphemism for "tired, old franchises"?

Not expecting much unless something "(RKO) out of nowhere" gets announced and blows me away.

Will probably tune into Sony like the loyalist I am. Only really curious about a release date for The Division and some R6: Siege gameplay.

Waner Bros. and Ubi. WB have a lot of shit up their sleeves this year clearly.

Bunch of pre-E3 news recently popped up:

Remedy Entertainment stated they are skipping E3 in favor of Gamescom. Just like last year, Quantum Break will be shown off during that event instead.
http://www.destructoid.com/remedy-ta...r-293552.phtml


Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 currently rumored to be revealed during E3 based on a recent Microsoft E3 press teaser.
http://www.screwattack.com/video/Rum...eased-12874807


Square Enix stated gameplay footage and more details for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be shown off during their E3 press conference.
http://www.destructoid.com/square-en...3-293533.phtml


Forza 6 expected to be revealed during Microsoft's press conference based on a recent leak by Microsoft Japan.
http://www.destructoid.com/it-looks-...d-293490.phtml

Things I want from E3 2015:

Mass Effect 4 Release Date
Kingdom Hearts 3 Release Date
Anything HL3 or TF3 related (I know, I shouldn't hold my breath.)
A port of Jet Force Gemini on XBox One
Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void Release Date
An Onimusha HD Collection

Microsoft continues their tradition of megaton announcements bringing down the house.

Yeah. Deus Ex. I'm for some of that.

Fucking love Garden Warfare. The sequel needs better music though, it was bad enough to piss me off.

Updated "da OP" with "da schedule", although in trying to get it all aligned, it left a huge black space like yr. moms vagina, so deal with it.

You're doing well. I believe in you.

I'm just going to watch the GiantBomb stream like I've done the past couple of years. I think the format of "watching professionals watch the stream and hearing them comment on it" is pretty good, especially when it's from people whose opinions you trust and generally enjoy their personalities.

Yeah I feel that. It's almost like watching a sports draft or whatever. As much of a gimpy gnome that Mel Kiper is, it's nice having some "real-time analysis" as things happen etc to make sure you are aware of the salient points of what is going on

Think most of the big presentations are at stupid UK times or when I'm at work. Hate having a job sometimes.

Should be able to get in MS, EA, Ubi, Nintendo and Square Enix since they're at good times. Speaking of the latter though...

E3 stuff:

Microsoft announced the 1TB Xbox One console is arriving the day after their press conference. Comes with a digital copy of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The 500GB model will get a permanent $50 price cut to $350 as well.
http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/mi...r-3/1100-5214/


Annual rumors of The Last Guardian being at E3 although could just be like past years and end up as the usual nothing besides Sony saying its still not canceled.
http://www.destructoid.com/report-th...3-293628.phtml


EA recently released an announcement teasing they will have an announcement for Mirror's Edge soon. Mirror's Edge Catalyst was revealed to have been trademarked by EA but was also teased to not likely be the name of the game itself.
http://www.destructoid.com/mirror-s-...a-293574.phtml

Speculation at NeoGAF that Platinum Games might be making an announcement during Nintendo's E3 Direct event. Rumor originates based on a retweet by Bayonetta's 2 director. On one hand, the guy likes to retweet a lot of stuff unrelated to what Platinum does while on the other hand, Wonderful 101's and Bayonatta's 2 announcements were teased almost in a similar fashion.

Could be tied into an exclusive reveal IGN will be having for a Nintendo platform game shortly after Nintendo's own event.

http://i.imgur.com/5oG7Rxq.png



Turns out EA didn't want to wait any longer and gave the official E3 announcement for Mirror's Edge Catalyst (ended up being the actual name).

http://www.mirrorsedge.com/img/mirro...e-catalyst.jpg
Was also revealed to be arriving in early 2016 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Of course The Last Guardian is going to be at E3, it will be announced alongside Shenmue 3 and translations of Yakuza Ishin & 0 and then 50 women will be knocking down my door all begging to blow me as I go to spend my vast fortune after the event.

It's nice to live in a fantasy world.

Nintendo!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Nj2PkKGPMA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Mass Effect 4 or GTFO

Shenume 3 can stay too.

Hyrule Warriors announced for 3DS

Booooooooooooo

E3 stuff:

* Nintendo rumored to be working on a new Diddy Kong game and could likely reveal it during next week's E3 event based on recent trademark filings. Could also tie into a recent tweet by Retro Studios implying they will announce something during the event.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Can you dig it? <a href="http://t.co/kvPfmQZwqC">http://t.co/kvPfmQZwqC</a></p>&mdash; Retro Studios (@RetroStudios) <a href="https://twitter.com/RetroStudios/status/608307402312679424">June 9, 2015</a></blockquote>
<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-...--293703.phtml



* Nintendo expected to announce at least two brand new games during E3 based on a recent leak by the Nintendo World Store. The store will have playable demos for the new games during E3 itself.
http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-...3-293642.phtml

Don't forget Half-Life 3.

Platinum actually waiting for E3 to announce their new game, will be at YouTube live @ E3 with Geoff Keighley which will be Monday 4PM GMT/Noon ET/9am PT.

Wonderful 101... '102'?

Vanquish 2?

Bayonetta 2 port to X1/PS4 (Least likely, being that Nintendo alone saved it)

Rising 2?

...Devil May Cry 5?!? (pipe dream)

Ugh, a lot of rumors about Last Guardian again, this time that the team that did Knack has been sent over to help out. I will not get hyped...

ANYWAY, here's Microsoft!

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dWav5cZ-yTg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm sure the guy running the Sonic official Twitter account knows nothing, but...

http://i.imgur.com/2PteR9B.png

Phil Spencer said Crackdown, Quantum Break and Scalebound will be front and center at gamescom along with new game reveals for both Xbox One and Windows 10. None of those games are at E3.

Hooefully that means they have too much new shit at E3 they had to be bumped.

A couple of E3 related stuff:

* For those going or interested in going to Best buy to try out Mario Maker during E3, Nintendo is giving away special 30th anniversary Super Mario Bros commemorative buttons as a free gift for playing. Other commemorative buttons will also be available for pre-ordering select 3DS and Wii U games at the store.

http://www.destructoid.com/8-bit-bow...y-293780.phtml



* Could just be some trolling by Platinum Games or maybe a possible sign of what their unannounced game will be at E3 but the company recently tweeted something Vanquish related for E3's hype.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here’s a Boost to help you through Wednesday. <a href="http://t.co/hmtuANRBWT">pic.twitter.com/hmtuANRBWT</a></p>&mdash; PlatinumGames Inc.

VANQUISH 2

They've done a different game every day this week. It's not a hint

Didn't realize that. Guess only the Vanquish tweet got the most attention since Destructoid and a few other places covered the tweet as a potential teaser or not.

Sony preview!

Also, I forgot that a specific Smash Bros. Direct was happening tomorrow at 7:40am PDT, so added to the OP

Guerilla games, makers of the god-awful Killzone series have suddenly created a Twitter account. There were rumours of their next game being called Horizon featuring Vikings and dinosaur mechs (pictured below).

While the concept is awesome, I wish it was being done by someone who's games I actually liked.

http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/60ade0f3...21kw148b29.jpg
http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/60ade0f3...21kw149h8v.jpg

Killzone is ass but I'm afraid I can't resist anything that promises dinosaur mecha.

Never thought Killzone was particularly bad, but it just never hooked me at all. Just felt like going through the FPS motions.

You know what was awesome that we need a sequel to?

Black. Anyone else remember Black for PS2 and Xbox? That game was titties.

E3 stuff:

* Nintendo released their E3 schedule along with the dates and locations for Mario Maker demo at Best Buy.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/nint...tried-best-buy



* At least two more Xbox One exclusives won't be shown during E3 and instead are being saved for GamesCom according to Microsoft.
http://www.destructoid.com/it-looks-...3-293818.phtml

Microsoft better have some fucking bombs to drop without those games at the show.

Apparently, www.banjothreeie.com has been changed recently, ready to point to a new webserver. Sent rumor mills mad since it used to just point to Rare.

Other than that, we know we'll be seeing a Gears remake and Halo. See what else they've got.

Best of the rest at E3

Baring another surprise announcement, Platinum's unannounced game is a Transformers based game.

Some other details include the game being in the cell shaded style and will arrive for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4. Current release date planned is October 6, 2015.

Dishonored 2 is expected to be officially revealed tomorrow based on an accidental open mic test stream Bethesda had for their rehearsal E3 press conference.

While the game itself wasn't directly mentioned, the way the speech was going on about Dishonored and having to be quickly cut off implied Dishonored 2 would have been spoken about next.

HJGBVLHLFVFGKVHJLFGVHVULY

While im sure Platinum will make an awesome game, I would rather get a third Full Moon Studios game that takes the awesome gameplay and level design of the second with the awesome boss battles of the first.

But yeah thiss will be good too.

Hopefully we get a third Cybertron game. Massively underrated shooter.

Cross gen and Activison published? Yeah, I'll not get excited. Korra wasn't exactly great.

Platinum's b-team is still better than a lot of studios in the action genre.

Yeah, I don't have any reservations getting behind this with Platinum at the helm.

Yu Suzuki tweeting from E3.

That trolling son of a bitch.

DON'T FUCK WITH ME YU

Treehouse are doing a Ninendo pre-E3 show before the world championships right now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9H8VcU21j4

Nintendo just casually announcing that the original NES Mother will be released as Earthbound Beginnings on the Wii U VC.

EDIT: OH SHIT OUT TODAY

Wasn't actually going to watch the world championships, but apparently at least one of the games is a new Nintendo exclusive.

Oh shit, Nintendo showing off some sports game with mechs on 3DS.

BLASTBALL

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Mario Maker is now called Super Mario Maker <a href="http://t.co/hBhLByQi1i">http://t.co/hBhLByQi1i</a> <a href="http://t.co/JY1W1wTV1i">pic.twitter.com/JY1W1wTV1i</a></p>&mdash; Destructoid (@Dtoid) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dtoid/status/610256304737628161">June 15, 2015</a></blockquote>

Was announced during the Nintendo World Championships event earlier. Also the debut of a new game for the 3DS called Blast Ball.

http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/15/e3-2...championships/

That Mario Maker at the end of the championship sold me on the game. Was incredible.

Battlecry really doesn't look hot.

Dishonored 2 totes confirmed.

Not changed up the art though. Not a fan of the style.

Diahonored remaster too.

Video?

https://youtu.be/J9H8VcU21j4?t=2h46m20s

That's when the Mario maker rounds start.

Elder Scrolls Legends announced; card game.

Props

Multiple sources are confirming the existence of an actual FF7 remake. So FF7 remake & TLG are looking very likely... Still hope for Shenmue? Pahahaha.

Another rumour points to a Rare HD collection for XB1, which would be cool.

FF VII Remake plz.

That place will fecking explode if it is true. Huge pop for Shenmue too, if they do it.

I just really hope that if the FF7 remake is real, they announce it tonight at Sony. I can't wait until Squares tomorrow.

Shenmue was way ahead of it's time. They can do soooooooooooooo much more with it today.

Oh I know. Even Yakuza has taken that type of game forward, but my god, I need to finish what I started with Ryo Hazuki.

One of my favorite parts was going to the arcade and playing old-school Sega games like Hang On!

Had that on my Sega Master System, as a built-in title.

Halo really looks like it's jumped the shark by now. This combined with all the news that came out really is not good.

Like, even though the Doom video was old school twitch shooting, it managed to feel fresh because it's been gone so long. This slow paced story telling in FPS bullshit is so overplayed at this point.

this Halo video honestly could have just been another futuristic COD and I'd have believed them.

Yo, Inafune and Metroid Prime devs teaming up on an XBox One exclusive called Recore. Spring next year and looks awesome.

XBOX ONE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE WITH XBOX 360.

MEGATON.

Coming this holiday, but if you're on the preview program, it'll launch today.

Another new XB1 pad coming, this one can be customised with all sorts of parts though.

Oh no, please no exclusive DLC now FO4 is on the MS stage.

No exclusive DLC, just FO3 and mods with the XB1 version. PHEW.

Yeeeeesssssssss

Garden Warfare 2. Awesome, loved the original.

Setting your trailer to HIGHWAY TO THE DANGERZONE makes anything much better.

I can no longer hear that song without thinking about Archer.

Naturally.

Went to the shop during Forza. Really wish I waited until The Division because I really don't give a fuck about this even more.

Pre order Rainbow Six Seige and get the 360 Rainbow Six games.

Sounds like it's going to become a theme.

Love the concept of Rainbow Six Seige, but fuck playing that game with randoms. So much communication needed.

Yet another MOBA arena combat type game called Gigantic, exclusive to XB1 and Windows 10. Seriously, going to be eaten alive by Overwatch. F2P though.

XB1 Indie sizzle reel. Standard.

Which will most likely fail because one guy will wanna be a dick and just go in there all LEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOYYYY JEEEEENNNNNKKIIINNNNNNSSSS!!!!


speaking of dicks. A splatoon player spent all match drawing dicks, still wins the game.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7gxuZtq78xs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Another game from the makers of Gone Home. Snooze.
