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


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

No, the hype is dead. No thread, no hype I hardly see anyone hyping about Nintendo

I may miss the Microsoft and Nintendo conferences. Will they put videos of the events up immediately after they end? Or will another outlet do that?

They'll be archived on every site and will be up directly after they air.

HYPE INTENSIFIES

 

[Volotaire]

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

It should be, although the flooding earlier in the year might hamper their plans. I reckon it will be a player at one of Microsoft's or Sony's conference during their Indie sections.

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

They don't have on this year, they haven't been doing major conferences since 2010, and they produced no pre recorded conference this year.

EDIT: KONAMI are doing a stream. countdown on this page http://events.konami.com/

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

No, the hype is dead. No thread, no hype I hardly see anyone hyping about Nintendo

It helps expectations and the subsequent non essential/productive threads that come out of E3 such as "NINTENDOZ DOOMED' 'FCKING DONKEY KONG' and such. This is especially helpful at E£ since the load on the servers will already be huge, and garners productive discussion.

Gotta make sure the ipad is fully charged for tomorrow. Speaking of which, does GameTrailers stream work on the ipad?

Yes

This app is designed for both iPhone and iPad

I see that Gametrailers has Monday's live schedule up, but I don't see anything for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Does anyone know if their lineup has been announced for those days? I already have IGN, Twitch, and GameSpot. Thanks!

No Gametrailers schedule on Tuesday and onwards, but the GT team (not Geoff Keighely/SPIKE TV), will be streaming live demos throughout. No schedule for that yet. And not as structured as the other websites.

Well, these troll threads have nothing to do with the Megathreads though, you can even say megathreads help to reduce the amount of "LOL NINTENDOOMED" threads because the person can type that in the Megathread. Load of servers... the servers will be either way down, with or without megathread so who cares?

I'm not so sure on the latter, the megathreads are abandoned in favour of individual threads after the conference starts, and usually locked. Also I remember Nintendo's last year and the constant PM'ing of the guy who claimed he had been PM'd by a member. There was mass hysteria and PM'ing to that person. Have you tried asking a mod at all, or getting a response?

 

[SirMossyBloke]

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.

I have Xbox 360 without gold. I should try the twitch app but I'll miss the spike commentaries after. I guess it's not a huge deal.

Has the paywall disappeared now? Then the GT app should be available as well.

 

[Link Man]

Hmm, kinda expected an E3 crate thread by now.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

I live in LA but I can't go to E3. So close, yet so, so far...

 

[Alebelly]

You could add: On Your PS4

as a possible Sony stream

 

[Oneself]

It might be worth noting that amazon.ca will also be covering / streaming the conferences etc. starting tomorrow @ www.amazon.ca/e3 ... It doesn't seem to be the case with amazon.com for some reasons. In fact, it seems like an offensive towards Best Buy & Futureshop's pre-order deals since they also offer 15% off pre-orders on the same page.

 

[LNBL]

So i take it that the first spot to watch anything live, will be at 8:45 AM at GT/Spike?

Is there going to be an PS @ E3 app for europe too? Or are we getting fucked again? How can I watch it on my ps4????

You can watch through the Twitch App/Twitch Website instead. Or youtube live streaming, IGN App/GT APP (if there is one).

Ps blog says us europeans can watch the sony conference on ps4 with the ign app.
Does anyone know if I can watch the ms, ea and ubi conferences as well, or is there some exclusive thingy because I'm watching via ps4?

 

[molnizzle]

So. What's the consensus on where to watch the streams this year if I want to play them on my TV?

I would assume the Xbone Twitch app, but I'm curious as to what other gaffers are doing. I also have all of the other consoles.

Twitch and GT generally have the best streams. So the GT app is a good alternative as well (available 360/Not sure XB1). The IGN app is available for PS4 /maybe XB1 and the older consoles. Youtube livestream the conferences as well.

Depends what content you want too.

It depends, what do you want?

Do you like the cast of GT? Bossman/Pachter/etc. Do you want CEO interviews? Then GT. Jack Tretton and Sessler will be there too as pundits.

Do you like IGN's crew and analysis? IGN

Gamespot have Danny O Dwyer this year and he's a great hoster.

Gametrailers and Gamespot tend to have the best stream quality.

Giantbomb have fantastic after hour show streams with many developers and journalists.

Polygon have Jack Tretton as well as a guest.

Nintendo have all day streaming from Tuesday onwards.

Twitch seems to have good content over the days as well.

Myself, I will be using Gametrailers for the first day, and then when the conferences start I might switch to commentary with Giantbomb of the conferences, then switch back to GT after each respective conference is finished. I like Geoff Keighley's show and all the interviews on there, but I'll be catching up with IGN and Gamespot at the end of the day. I'll switch to Giantbomb's after show hours shows because they are hilarious and fantastic.

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

16 HOURS!

I can almost taste it

I need to stock up on caffeinated stuff because I won't be going to sleep till 4:30 am .

 

[Volotaire]

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

Update: YES!

For anyone not watching, Danny says Gamespots first demo of a game (for their show when E3 starts on Tuesday) will be No Man's Sky. Also seems to believe The Last Guardian will be at Sony.

IGN app has a noticeable delay on their live stream. I would avoid it if you are following along here or on Twitter.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Damn, those food prices seem steep.

Spoiler

still would love to be in LA right now though

 

[Sakura]

Hmm I got an email from Amazon.ca saying they are streaming E3. I wonder what the best stream will be for me this year. I tried watching an episode of Pach Attack the other day but the stream wouldn't go in HD, so GT is out I guess.

Twitch would be the best next alternative. I guess Amazon will be quite reliable given their cloud tech. Youtube after that.

 

[ScribbleD]

Are we using tinychat if GAF goes down?

 

[coolasj19]

Alright, day off tomorrow, I'm gonna wake up just before the first conference starts. And by just I mean an hour before. Even though I hate wallowing in the Hype for that long. And avoid all major sites including GAF. No E3 spoilers thread with a smooth transition into the MS OT.

 

[akGCO47]

Anyone know someone that will be recapping everything that happens on twitter?

 

[MattyG]

I'm going to my brothers to watch the conferences. If we're watching the IGN stream, what would be best to watch it on? The PS4 IGN app? His laptop and internet aren't great, so I'm not sure what our best option is.

 

[FourMyle]

Konami is not doing a conference this year? that makes me sad

 

[Sakura]

Does Twitch have a delay? I was watching a different event via ustream the other day and it was like 30 seconds behind, so every body was already talking about things before I saw them.

Other than that I'm not sure when I'm supposed to sleep :/
Microsofts is at 1:30am, then Sony's at 10am and finally Nintendo's at 1am again. I guess I could try sleeping after Sony's.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but who is streaming the pre-show and post-show stuff? IGN? Twitch? GameTrailers? All of them?

Who could deliver the most concentrated E3 percentage to me.

 

[FourMyle]

btw does ANYONE know what Bamco has planned for E3? New Soul Calibur?

 

[Creaking]

btw does ANYONE know what Bamco has planned for E3? New Soul Calibur?

Don't tease me! I would love a new Soul Calibur that isn't a free-to-play feces fest built from the disappointing latest installment's assets.

I want some next gen Calibur in my blood.

 

[fasTRapid]

Does Twitch have a delay?

Yes, 30 seconds. From my experience GT and GS offer the highest quality, it's just a pain in the ass when GT decides to not deliver the goods in HD, when your connection would allow for it.

Anyone know someone that will be recapping everything that happens on twitter?

What's supposed to happen on twitter?

 

[radyboysmith]

cant wait

 

[Yawnier]

Only conference I won't be able to watch tomorrow is the Ubisoft conference as I have a 2 hour drive to make tomorrow evening, should be able to watch everything else though.

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

Anyone else not sleeping tonight due to the annoying time difference? EA conference is on at 5am here, so I wont be going to sleep after Microsofts.

 

[MDSVeritas]

A little over 12 hours to go...

Believe it or not....

 

[Kusagari]

What so you guys think is the best way of watching on my phone?

The twitch app?

 

[Delio]

Are we using tinychat if GAF goes down?

I hope so. Tinychat will be right there for everyone.

 

[CherryIcee]

Konami is not doing a conference this year? that makes me sad

An extreme dissapointment.

 

[jbug617]

looks like Microsoft is going to make some game announcements during their pre-show stream

https://twitter.com/Ishmae1/status/475840635334057984

He is part of the Killer Instinct team so probably Season 2 reveal I would guess.

 

[Charmicarmicat]

Sorry if it's been covered, but what Sony stream (if any) would be best for watching via my ps3?
