E3 2013: All aboard the hype train
 
Coming close to that time of the year again for arguably the biggest event in gaming. Considering Sony and Microsoft already held their own events while the other major publishers revealed most of their stuff, didn't need an extra early hype thread this year for E3.

Konami conference is Pre-E3.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 12:52 AM

Here we go... So much copy-pasta coming...

alvarado52 06-03-2013 01:55 AM

I swear if Sony and Microsoft don't address their used game DRM (or lack there of) in detail i'm gonna go wreck a Gamestop.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 04:15 AM

How many years has it been since I left the E3 thread to you, Smelly?

Fignuts 06-03-2013 04:17 AM

Another year, another few days of hoping for a Mirrors Edge 2 announcement.

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 05:24 AM

We might get lucky this year...

Extreme Angle 06-03-2013 05:58 AM

Really excited for this year

Kalyx triaD 06-03-2013 07:32 AM

As is every year, pretty much looking toward Nintendo. My expectations for the other two are so hilariously low they can only impress from there.

Extreme Angle 06-03-2013 07:50 AM

Yeah, really looking forward to the Smash Bros reveal

ClockShot 06-03-2013 08:30 AM

Ugh. Sony's presser is late this year. Usually it's on around mid-afternoon here on the east coast.

Third year in a row.

Drakul 06-03-2013 04:00 PM

I'm only looking forward to Nintendo. Smash Bros, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, New IP and who knows what else as well as more info on Yoshi's Island and LttP2.

Xbox have to perform a miracle to be worth caring about.

Nintendo's EA showing should be excellent this year.

Come home later and watch Konami's presser. Hoping Lords of Shadow 2 got a date set in stone.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-06-2013 02:05 PM

Konami Bitches, yeahhhhhhh.

...


Starting with social games division.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-06-2013 02:08 PM

You can already watch the whole thing:

Emperor Smeat 06-06-2013 03:19 PM

Holy shit snacks, Lords of Shadow 2 looks amazing.

Also, I want the song from that trailer.

The Final Bosman is easily becoming the best gaming video every week. Guy is just so sincere and doesn't need to use anger to get comedy out of it.

Kane Knight 06-07-2013 03:01 PM

He reminds me of John Hodgeman.

LoDownM 06-07-2013 03:36 PM

I like the "We are pleased to announce, Mirror's Edge 2, exclusively for Kinect." at the end of the video, because I can see EA/Microsoft saying that and pissing everyone off.

Kalyx triaD 06-07-2013 06:18 PM

Oh this guy. I like this guy.

Emperor Smeat 06-07-2013 06:23 PM

In the interest of keeping things streamlined with what will be a huge media week, let's keep shit like that vid out of here.

Drakul 06-07-2013 07:48 PM

Passing the time.

ClockShot 06-08-2013 02:24 PM

Watched the Konami press conference last night. As I thought, Lords of Shadow 2 looks amazing.

Kinda missing the Combat Cross already, but I guess a sword will do.

KIRA 06-08-2013 08:54 PM

Kingdom hearts my fingers are crossed for a PS3 version as well as I cant shell out the money for another system for a good while but still :drool::drool::drool:

Kalyx triaD 06-08-2013 10:42 PM

You know the time between Square announcing a game releasing it is like a whole console generation.

FF15 for Xbox 4.

Ermaximus 06-08-2013 11:14 PM

I'd really rather not buy a new system for one game. KH3 for PS3 is a must.

Boomer 06-09-2013 01:07 AM

E3 live stream night shows on Giant Bomb are some of my favorite gaming content all year. They start pretty late (10:00 PM PST), but they always have some crazy list of guests drinking and telling industry stories. Had some really awesome content last year with Ed Boon and David Jaffe.

That was incredible.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 01:14 PM

Rare's new game was revealed on SpikeTV's pre-show, Kinect Sport Rivals.

LoDownM 06-10-2013 02:00 PM

Omg, I want Ryse now.

Oh, looks like Rare trolled everyone on the pre-show thing.

ClockShot 06-10-2013 02:11 PM

Just got home, what I miss?
