Presentation was the biggest issue w/ Sony's E3 2014.
Bloodborne was a great reveal, but it being a CGi trailer kinda left one with a feeling of meh since we've already seen a leaked Project Beast trailer that had awesome gameplay snippets. I get they're keeping gameplay reveal for Gamescom, but it still made the reveal not as impactful as it could've been.
Ratchet was a bad reveal. Just showing the logo and having Andrew House talking about it left it feeling like it wasn't something Sony bothered to announce properly. I definitely left that announcement thinking "is this going to be some low-effort garbage R&C?"
LBP3 was a good reveal for what it was. But it's not the type of IP that generates excitement from the core audience.
Uncharted 4 was a good reveal (again, for what it was), but it being :
- teased 6 months prior at PS4 Launch Event
- going through Amy Hennig's cancellation issues
Dampened the strength of that reveal, which was again, pretty good imo. It was what Sony needed to show, after the uncertainty surrounding the game. But if not for that, it would have been best if they could had revealed what they showed at PSX (gameplay) instead of just a tone-piece cutscene.

Sony's conference I think will be very good, just no way they'll be able to top what they were producing the past two years in terms of desired game announcements and surprises. So when you can't top something, you go down. So I think this year they'll backslide a little, but still have a very good show.
Hoping to see Dreams become a thing. Also hope we see more of Days Gone. That shit looked rough and early, but the concept looked bonkers amazing. I hope that it has shaped up and is ready to be seen. Interested in Sucker Punch's new game, despite inFamous not being my cup o' tea.
I'm wondering what Knack 2 will deliver. Knack 1 was pretty OK but clearly there is tons of room for growth. I doubt we'll see anything from Last of US II. Too early that announcement.
I just hope we continue to see investment in brand new IPs with fresh ideas and shooting for the sun.
One thing Sony always delivers is an unprecedented level of experimentation with genres and themes and worlds, whereas with Nintendo even when they're going wild there is usually dominated by games with Mario in the title or Zelda in the title or whatever and it's E10+ and they never touch certain genres. So it can be a hype concept, but we're back in the Mushroom Kingdom. With Sony they might fail, but they are always reaching for the stars. With Nintendo they are far more likely to make an amazing game, but sometimes it's too predictable and I'm tired of their characters and worlds. But even though I'm not interested in ARMS, that and Splatoon suggest maybe they're ready to start pouring bigger production budgets toward fresh IPs in core gamer genres. I guess it depends on how deep ARMS is, it looks a bit Wii Boxing to me with versatility of boxing gloves. Which is why I'm not interested in it, ha! We'll see.
The merging of Nintendo's development teams was supposed to be the biggest draw of Switch, but so far the lineup has been pretty dire for me so I expect Nintendo E3 Direct to change that. Want to see real Fire Emblem Switch, not the Musou game. Want to see a surprise like maybe a new Advanced War or a new light hearted RPG totally unrelated to Xenoblade. Something like a Star Tropics perhaps but with all the lessons they've learned since.
And I hope whatever Retro is working on, it is not a friggin' remaster of their Donkey Kong games or a DKC game period. I just do not dig those games, but loved Metroid Prime. So please more like Prime, less like DKC!

Hope to see Sucker Punch's new IP debut like Horizon. Give me a cool intro straight into a decent amount of time with gameplay.
But I heard it will be only a teaser or trailer and not gameplay. it will not be like Horizon reveal.
You heard this where?

Booo!
It was like 15 days ago or something, So i can't pinpoint the actual source, Obviously its from Twitter but that guy has some previous repo , atleast for me. I'll just say that there is 80% chances of its happening with a teaser or debut trailer only.

Ha, I met Nate Fox just before inFamous Second Son came out and he said that he was really embarrassed about this taking off. Saw the funny side of it though.

I bet it was Tidux because I heard that teaser thing and I am pretty sure it was from him.
lmao then there is nothing to see here.
Edit: found it.
Everyone could predict this and i bet if it doesn't happen he says hey things can change last minute, it's always the same with these clowns...

I am pretty sure Death Stranding will have the most sensational trailer this year.

I'll be getting out of work about an hour before the press conference starts, so I'll pick up a pizza on my way home.
Quick search it was indeed from him - https://twitter.com/tidux/status/849311739191734273?lang=en-gb
It'll be another "cinematic character introduction" trailer imo and so on until next E3, where the first proper gameplay trailer will be showed.
Best case scenario: E3 2017 trailer will contain 2 seconds of gameplay that will get giffed and analyzed ad infinitum.

I'd certainly hope for something more substantial than a short teaser from Sucker Punch to be honest. Infamous: SS was release in 2014, so only a teaser would be pretty disappointing, I want to see gameplay.

This is what I said some time ago: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=233416633&postcount=7119
I really hope they show something more than a just a teaser.

Other than SP's new game, I have no idea what they're gonna show that we haven't seen already.
There is no way in hell they can top last year's conference.

Exactly, a teaser doesn't seem right, unless they took a long break before starting work on this project.

E3 is like the best time of year for me. Staying up all night, booking off work with a whatsapp group of fellow gamers watching it all and chatting. E3 2015 was especially amazing just because you guys managed to keep that all secret. 'Twas crazy!
Really excited for this year as well, even if it's just gameplay of currently announced games with a couple of announcements I'll be happy. Keep it up.
Yh his standard MO throw as much possibilities and hope to be right with one. iirc that completely failed when he tried to predict one E3 and got everything wrong.This guy is so full of shit.
I think it happens.

If true that's extremely disappointing, fuck this teaser shit, don't bother show up at all, there shouldn't be a new IP reveal at E3 that is without any gameplay.

My man
Im on the west coast myself so for me it's right after work. If I have time I'm going to grill myself a kebab and put it on a pita with some roasted potatoes on the side. Thirty minutes should be enough
