And so the E3 2016 Hype Begins

I'm another casualty of Nintendo's hype-crushing-hammer that they dropped earlier today. But I'm still excited for Sony's show...I mean look what they did last year. Sure they can't pull off anything that crazy ever again...but they'll have cool stuff to show at least...

...I guess.

The NX coming in March 2017 is fine. Zelda delayed until then was also fine. Slightly disappointing, but fine.

NX not being at E3 at all is absolutely devastating for me. I've been marking the weeks on a calendar since February until E3 so we could see the NX goodness...I never suspected even for a moment that was a possibility.

Haha same here. Ugh its so awful. My E3 hype popped like a bubble 😩
 
I've come to terms with Nintendo's E3 decision. Now we'll have one more event to look forward to later.

- E3
- Gamescom
- TGS (lol)
- Paris Games Week
- NX reveal event
- PSX

It's gonna' be alright, friends.

is Paris Games Week now the main europe event or is Sony going back to Gamescom this year? any news about that?
 
PSX severely disappointed last year. Have no hype for it this year. Was it even confirmed to be back this year?

It's an annual event. But yeah I get the sense that it will never be on the scale of an E3 or Gamescom. I went last year and the show floor definitely reflects that. It's a fanservice show where not a crazy amount of news gets dropped, and the demos available are mostly stuff that's already been circulated at other shows. Fun event and worth going to, but definitely not the kind of bomb dropping event like the others.

They announced Ace Combat 7 and ni no kuni 2 right? That was already more than I expected. If Sony can pull out something similar this year I'd be fine.
 
no idea what they are currently working on, but i hope for news from undead labs, so state of decay 2 or the planned zombie mmo...
 
does anyone have a map layout for this year's conference?

Seems like it's going to be a Playstation and Xbox show after hearing the nintendo news.
 
My hype has dropped nxceptional amount. I am hyped to see exactly how bad it will be though.
You're hyped for negativity? I would be hyped to see Zelda. We haven't seen a thing about the game and this should be the biggest Zelda game ever. Plus I wonder if we'll see voice acting?!
 
I think outside of console warrior fuel, this is going to be a very hohum E3.

Its more about publishers establishing their platforms (because every AAA game franchise is a platform now) with new IP playing second fiddle to that.

A couple rumoured sequels may pop up and we may see hardware revisions, but its more "business as usual" than anything else.
 
Top three games would be:

1. New AAA Star Wars game
2. Sony exclusive Spider-Man game developed by Sucker Punch
3. Shenmue 1 and 2 remaster

Hope I at least see one of the above.

Also excited to see some more MS exclusives in action - Crackdown, Sea of Thieves and ReCore in particular.

Sony also better announce the return of Crash as well. Too much teasing.
 
After the NX news, where I'm at is that Civ VI is about the only dream announcement left viable. I doubt Nintendo will tease any NX games without the system being there and I have no idea what the big third parties could deliver to get me excited.

I hope I like what we see of Zelda and I hope we see some cool DQXI stuff.
 
What I expect and am interested in:

FFXV
Gravity Rush 2
TLG
Dreams
Horizon
World of FF
Nier Automata

What might turn up:
GoW4
PS4K
Shenmue 3
FFVII R
ME Andromeda
KH3
Other stuff not yet revealed

All in all, it is not likely to disappoint me.

I think there will be new IP aplenty, For Honor, ReCore, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, Horizon, The Last Guardian, Dead Don't Ride, indies like Inside and Cuphead, so I wouldn't really worry about that.
 
At GDC I heard a certain well-loved series will be announcing its third installment at E3. It was a game I would be excited about, so definitely not Red Dead 3, before you ask.
 
i don't think there are many games i'm interested in. off the top of my head i can only think of Red Dead 3 but Rockstar will probably announce that themselves unless they have some exclusivity deal. i'm mostly just looking forward to new hardware. the NX isn't happening but I want to see what sony/microsoft do. i might pick up an xbox one if they release a new model and i will most likely be buying the PS4 neo.
 
CRASH BANDICOOT HYPE!

Because I'm in the market for a ton of new shit at the end of this year, I am super excited for this year's E3.

I'd like to see:

-New Hardware - I will actually purchase a new Xbone because I'm going to be needing a second one anyway; Looking forward to info about NEO/PS4K
-Mass Effect Andromeda trailer: Yes, Mass Effect 3's ending was one of the worst tragedies of last gen. But time enough has passed and the trilogy itself up to that point was great
-More fleshed out, 'final' FFXV gameplay.
-FFVII-R trailer and early gameplay showcase
-The Last Guardian footage
-KH3 gameplay/Release date or window!
-God of War 4!
-Nier
-A couple new unannounced games (Crash??? Another platformer?)

:/

Yep. And the fact Zelda isn't out till next year. Sure we're getting Zelda blowout but e3 is setup to be a letdown this year. At least now I'm going in with little to no expectations so if anything decent is shown it will be above expectations.
 
I'm expecting Undesd Labs to announce their new Zombie title for MS.



Top three games would be:

1. New AAA Star Wars game
2. Sony exclusive Spider-Man game developed by Sucker Punch
3. Shenmue 1 and 2 remaster

If Crash ain't there then this E3 will have been a disappointment. Yes I'm serious.
 
For the first time in forever I'm probably more anxious about E3 rather than I am excited.

It seems we are in a period of transition (new hardware incoming) but we haven't seen a roadmap or what to expect from the new hardware, E3 doesn't really seem the place to talk about it so fuck knows how the platform holders are going to approach this.

Just hope we see lots of cool new games, don't really care about a .5 console until I see the actual features and benefits of owning one and why I should upgrade.

This E3 could be messy.

How the fuck is E3 only 2 months away, i'm only 27 time should not be passing by so quickly but whatever. As for the actual show? My dream list includes Kingdom Hearts 3 proper gameplay, FF7r release info, Bloodborne 2, more Horizon stuff and I would very much appreciate it Nintendo if the NX was actually cool.
