Support NeoGAF

[Poetic.Injustice]

Seems like Beyond Good and Evil 2 probably won't be announced at this year's E3. Ubisoft Montpellier are working on both Assassin's Creed Unity and Valiant Hearts. I don't see them going on full production with the game just yet.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Just over 24hrs until the festivities begin.

I'm so excited.

When the presser threads go up, can someone please PM me the details for the individual IRC chats. (I'll be at work. Damn work...)

Why is the host of Microsoft conference Phil Harrison? Surely it would be Phil Spencer?

I presume that it is because Phil Harrison is 'corporate vice president of Microsoft'.

I'm worried about the quality of the streams from the PS4 ign app. Their video player quality on their website is renowned as being one of the worst. Plus I doubt twitch.com works that well on the PS4 browser.

What other consoles have you got? Is the GT/Youtube app available on the PS4? Also you could try Gamespot's site, but they may take the feed directly from twitch.

Damnit SpikeTV, why no Sony press conference? :/

I'll be at work so I can't watch the conference, and I was hoping to DVR it but nevermind

Microsoft is paying for prime time spots with their conference.
It's expensive and, honestly, not worth it. Spike's audience isn't big enough for Sony to bother.

does Twitch work on the Wii U browser?

It does indeed. Chat does not, though. (Not that it matters since Nintendo has chat disabled.)

I changed this line to include both.

 

[Goodacre0081]

in past years I've watched the conferences at GT.com but it looks like the Twitch stream is the better place to catch all the news. it this correct?

Gametrailers will only have a stream Day One. So if we compare the Twitch and Gametrailers streams on day one, presumingly your discounting the other streamed websites that links are hosted on the twitch home page, then Twitch won't have as many exclusive demos/reveals glancing at their lineup. Looking at GT's lineup, it far outstrips it. Plus they have some great corespondents such as Jack Tretton and many interviews. But, the Twitch schedule is quite ambiguous with its 'post show' description. There could be a number of exclusive demos in there.
If you are not discounting the Twitch links to Gamespot, it might tip in their favour.

Argh, I need sleep but I'm afraid something is going to happen while I'm away XD.

I expect to wake up to a 100 page thread titled "Kotaku: Half-Life 3 is probably not really happening maybe who knows".

MS isn't paying for Prime Time spots, their conference is in the morning, not during Prime Time. You are right about Sony though, the same thing applies to Ubisoft as well.

 

[freshVeggie]

Last year I watched E3 from the original streams. There were some buffering/pausing/restarts. How was twitch in regards to stability last year?

Twitch is mostly fine, but if there are stability issues, GT is usually the best one.

Question! Not sure if answered but I don't have xbox live gold anymore will I still be able to download the app and watch the conference live?

 

[Volotaire]

Question! Not sure if answered but I don't have xbox live gold anymore will I still be able to download the app and watch the conference live?

Internet Explorer, Skype, OneDrive, OneGuide, GameDVR, Upload Studio and Twitch broadcasting will also now be free to all.

So you'll be able to stream via Twitch and IE! (Depending on whether you have a 360 or XB1). But you also have the option on the 360 of the GT app (if it's free).

The paywall for a large number of services was removed from Microsoft a month ago.

Here's a clearer pictures.


EDIT!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if the paywall has been removed yet. At the bottom of the picture it says June.

Ah that's right. I keep thinking MS is later in the day than it is.
But yeah, paying to broadcast your gaming event, commercial free at that, isn't worth it to anyone but MS. And even then, it rarely works in their favor.

They satisfied with bumming off the first parties?

Why does the OP say Microsoft's conference is on the 9th and Sony, ea, and ubi are on the 10th, and then on the schedule say that they're all on the 9th???

 

[Rosur]

There all on the 9th in the US...

Also anyone know of any site Live-blogging Microsoft's conference? As will be heading back from work when its on but still want to catch it live.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Is there an official "E3 Bingo" thread? Or are those just kind of thing people do in unrelated threads?

Doesn't it drop a lot of frames making it choppy as hell?

Just a mistake. I've corrected that now. The schedule should be correct.

 

[Riki]

Not for me but YMMV

 

[Papissama]

Is No Man's Sky going to be at E3?

 

[Caladrius]

If the chat's hyperactive, then yes.

 

[data]

Why doesn't the OP show Konami's press conference? Don't they have one too?

 

[Benslammin]

Would it be ok if someone who is on the Neogaf Steam Group invite me so I can be apart of the chatroom during the press conferences?

I am still new here so I don't have any friends from here on steam that are apart of the group.

My steam id is BenJamming

What's my best option for watching the conferences a few hours after they happen without seeing spoilers? Youtube?

12PM EST (or EDT) is indeed correct.

Okay, so there's no place to hype the BEST THING about freakin NeoGAF at E3, I understand. GAF died for me now at E3 times, it's really sad. I wish the mods would have open my disappointing e3 thread for a little while longer...

 

[Filaipus]

I think the images should link to these links so people have a better idea of when the conferences are in their respective timezones.

Yeah, I guess its for the sake of discussion and to prevent pointless filler, but that pointless filler is fun! It's a shame they want to make GAF E3 time more boring to have better discussion. At this point in time hype is better than discussion, at least in my opinion.

Discussion? do you see any discussion about Nintendo@E3? There are almost zero discussions about E3 and of course no hype. That's the thing, with no Megathreads there is nothing to discuss about... Whoever decided that completely ruined the fun E3 times we love about NeoGAF, good job stranger. Seriously, there's no reason for this and there's nothing to defend.

Also I get tears when I read this:

Let's just HOPE the actual E3 will be great. Otherwise this will be the worst E3 ever.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Yeah, it's pretty disappointing we didn't have any hype threads this year.

Ah well, doesn't matter too much. So long as the conference threads are put up as early as possible so the IRC details are available before GAF goes down.

So dedicated conference threads in we can hype as well are still allowed? So we will see a Nintendo E3 2014 thread again with a Hype Train? I hope so!

[footfunghi]

yeah, hype threads were the bread&butter of negoaf for me. Nintendo hype threads were the reason I came back to this forum regularly as a lurker year after year and this year I finally decided to sign up right before E3 to join the train and now the train is a wreck

After nearly being outed, I doubt we'll see him much, sadly.

Don't worry. The hype still flows. You just have to believe!
