-EA Summer Showcase (multiple game announcements)
-Planetside 2 Reveal
-BioShock Infinite Footage Debut
-Bungie Day
-Game Informer Cover

Did I miss some publisher meeting where everyone was like "Yes, yes, July 7th is a perfect reveal date!"
 
-BioShock Infinite Footage Debut
OMFG!!! Thank you for reminding me about this... I've had two dreams about this game ever since I watched the first footage last week. Love the Crow, love the girl, love the design, the atmosphere... EVERYTHING.
 
unfortunately for me, nothing i really care about.

unless EA announces vita launch titles. which i doubt.
 
I actually didn't know or forgot about all of that.

BioShock should be cool I guess. GameInformer should have a nice little cover story on Rune Factory 4.

Star Fox 64 3DS release on 9/11. What a coincidence?
Advance Wars came out on 9/11.
I remember this because my college classes were cancelled and I locked myself out of my house that morning and my parents were stuck in traffic up near the city so I went to the mall to pass the time.

Awesome game though...
 
Battlefield 3 Conquest footage or Battlefield Moments™ from EA Summer showcase event.

BELIEVE.

Also what do you guys think is going to be on the Gameinformer cover?
 
Random publisher CEO: "Hmm, I wonder what my competitors reveal at E3. I'd better not show too much I don't want my new awesome stuff to be overshadowed by others."

*E3 sucks ass*

Random publisher CEO: "Oh shit, E3 was lame, if we announce our stuff now people will think: "why wasn't this at E3?", I guess August will have to do..."
Some random employee: "Summer holidays in large parts of the world sir."
Random publisher: "Oh well 4th of July is a holiday too I guess..."
Some random janitor: "I'm going to be quite hungover on the 5th lol"
Random publisher CEO: "Well I guess the 6th..."
Random focus group religious person: "But 6? 666 is the mark of the beast sir!"
Random publisher CEO: "Well fuck this shit, the 7th of July it is, I want to play Golf on the 8th"

huh?

Haven't we seen lots of footage already?
That first thing they showed was a bit uh... staged/conceptual.

This will be the 15 minute E3 video which is what the final product will be like.

This is 15 minutes of unedited gameplay. The same demo that won them a bunch of Game of the Show awards at E3. I am excite. But also expecting it not to live up to the hype. :(

Based on the first two minutes of the demo that have already been shown, I think it could surpass the hype.

All those aren't really big news. Well to me at least as I could care less about those announcements.
 
well, if you could care less, it sounds like you are somewhat excited

as for me, i couldn't care less about any of it. unless it was binary domain and bayonetta 2 or something on the cover.
 
I really cannot wait to see the rest of the footage for BioShock Infinite. The few minutes they gave us a while back was not enough.

It is not too early to blow their Conquest footage with jets and stuff right?
Beta is in September, it'll probably be playable at PAX at the end of August, so we should see the marketing really ramp up in late July / early August. They will want to control and direct the message before the general public gets their hands on it.
