) They will air at 12:30 PM Eastern. (Pre-show at 11:50 AM Eastern.)

Sony will be the second at 9 PM Eastern.

In between those two will be plenty of game showcasing.

Finally, on June 11, there will be an interview with Nintendo at 2 PM Eastern.

I won't be able to get information on a good chunk of this, but others, please feel free to post here what you wish about e3 as it comes.

That's all for now! See ya later!

Last year was a bit boring for me. I hope this years E3 will be more exciting know.

Alright, quick! Time for insane mass guessing about the new Smash line up! I'm hoping Mewtwo returns, and they bring in Bowser Jr., Krystal, and Issac.

And Pikmin 2 is one of my all time favorite games. I can only hope that that third will be worth the wait. Oh, I hope they have a piklopedia like in the last game! They took out fight acheivements in Brawl and I was so dissapointed!

I would like to see krystal in the next smash bros game to join up with falco and fox. ogf course i'd like to see a new sdtar fox game, but I doubt that's happening any time soon.

I'll keep this post updated as well with my personal commentary:

I find it interesting that they are still developing 360 games with the Xbox One coming so quickly. The platformer game 'Max' looks really interesting!

Ryse: Graphics are great, I was really excited to hear about some game placed in the roman age again... Sadly enough it seems to be purely focused on combat (read: pressing buttons on time to take down an enemy) rather than having a real storyline. Sounded interesting, but is a disappointment.

Sunset Overdrive: No. Insomniac, stay to your platform/adventure games please.

Forza Motorsport 5: Never played these racing games before, but darnit that car is SWEET <3 Looks like a good game otherwise. A bit over the top with the 'This is no AI!' thing, but I assume that's something one has to experience for themselves.

Quantum Break: I don't think that was any gameplay footage but being able to freeze time and such looks amazing.

Project Spark: cute! I like the idea. Not sure how well it'd work out though.

Twitch streaming: that's a step in the right direction, Microsoft!

Dragon game: No soundtrack, too bad.... But playing as a dragon? Hell yea!

The Witcher 3: oooohh fancy! Have to admit I never heard of the series before (maybe because I don't own an Xbox

)

I have a question about this cloud computing that was mentioned. They are offloading processes onto the cloud. What exactly does that mean?

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2013, 02:18:39 PM

*wipes brow* Whew! Well, despite an internet connection problem near the end, I think I got everything there!

Anyways, for a number of the games, the ALWAYS ONLINE FUNCTION makes sense. A racing AI that constantly learns, An Open World Shooter that changes daily, a game where you can make your own game and edit someone else's game. Add in the Live Streaming with Twitch, and it means that Always Online is pretty much required for this system.

Suddenly, the Always Online Function we are complaining about is a necessity for the games it will make exclusive. This explains a lot more than ever.

Now, we just have to address the Used Games Fee issue properly, and it might get some ground going.

I am not willing to pay $500 for a gaming console. Not only this, there aren't any games that I'm truly interested in.

Is anyone else unimpressed with the Microsoft Press Conference?

Oh trust me, even if my earlier post doesn't look like it, I'm still not impressed. Until they get rid of the whole "No Used Games" thing, I'm not buying it.

I'll make sure to cover Sony as well, which is still some hours away.

oogaboo · **Reply #12 on:** June 10, 2013, 08:13:09 PM

I just saw EA and I just wasted an hour of my life... <_<

Speaking of Sony, I hope they get rid of the stench that I saw this year at E3. Why do I even bother to watch this event anymore...? I hope tp see a new Parrappa game!

It makes me really sad that I can't play The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls. I had them both pre-ordered. I had to cancel both because my niece screwed up my PS3, and I had no way of getting it fixed or buying a new one.

It looks like they are saving the PS4 for last, maybe. I want to know about those 40 PS4, PS3, and PS Vita games that are apparently going to be playable during E3.

Another box. At least it looks better than the other one.

It looks much better in that picture you posted, Poke.

Knack looks interesting. I miss the whimsical games of the 90s and early 2000s.

Developers can self-publish. That's cool.

Final Fantasy Versus 13. A lot of people have been waiting for this game. It's called Final Fantasy 15, no longer Versus 13.

PS4 supports used games and has no restrictions. Awesome!

And games don't need to be connected online to play, or require check ins.

Destiny looks beautiful.

Streaming PS3 games through Gaikai confirmed.

Price is $399, 399 euros, and 349 British pound sterling. It seems a little unfair that EU has to pay that much more (in USD).

My highlight: Octodad: Dadliest Catch.

Well, Sony is winning right now! We will see if Nintendo can bring anything with just an interview.

If you ask me, they watched the Microsoft Conference and decided to do the opposite of what fans hated about the XBox One. In my eyes, Sony was taking notes and will be rewarded for it.

Well, onto waiting for Nintendo!

Okay, could someone please do the Nintendo one, because I have to head to work.

See ya later!

oogaboo · **Reply #18 on:** June 11, 2013, 04:47:06 PM

I saw the nintendo conference and I was okay with it, until I saw the announcement of MegaMan in SSB!

I keep throwing my credit card at the screen, but nothing worked! Why can't I get a time machine!?

LoyfeCycleProtector · **Reply #19 on:** June 11, 2013, 05:06:51 PM

I'm also really glad to see Megs, but I can't say I'm all that suprised. After a konami and sega mascot, it wasn't difficult to guess a capcom mascot was coming. What I AM suprised about is that they actually got the original Megaman, and not one of the many modern reimaginings. You know, if SSB revived Pit's career, maybe his cameo here will bring more interest in for a new megaman original game.
Also, the revamped music was glorious.

Another thing I didn't see coming was the Pokemon announcement. Fairy, huh? Cool! That's the first new type since generation 2! And they FINALLY decided to put the nintendogs mechanic in a Pokemon game-- about time! I'm surprised they didn't do this sooner.
