Yep. I think this is more people getting excited chasing the newest/best tech. Expectations of VR taking over the world are incredibly early.

What I'm thinking right now is this is either going to be the BEST E3 ever due to the announcements before such as fallout 4, 1tb Xbox one, ratchet etc meaning they're making room for lots of new stuff.
Or we're gonna get a disappointing E3 that simply shows us everything that's just been announced now e.g dark souls 3, fallout 4, new 1tb sku for Sony and Microsoft.
Part of me wants to believe that on top of the announcements were getting before E3 were gonna get lots of new, but then I think we're just gonna get "news" about everything we already know.

With that new Trailer & 8 min Gameplay, we probably won't see Ratchet & Clank at Sonys E3 Show. Hope they will use that time, for other first party exclusives
Look at those retweets and favorites. The hype is real.
For those who don't know, Mr. Otsuka is the voice actor of Big Boss in the japanese version.
So yeah looks like we'll get a KOJIMA DIRECTED MGSV E3 TRAILER, HYPE!!!

And what about the, at least 30 million PS4 owners (By the time Morpheus comes out) that will only need to buy the headset?
People are going to be surprised too im willing to bet on how much the device is. Sony know that for it to sell it cant be too dear, and that they can make up any money lost from selling the device for a lower price by selling the games to go with it.
As for all the concern about 'not being able to show VR on stage' thats just being overblown!
Yes, to truly know what VR is like you need to have used one of the devices but all you need is a short tech demo with someone playing on stage to show the response time/way it reactions to the users inputs and then you can just show a bunch of trailers for actual VR games and be able to tie to 2 together. I mean, you see someone moving around, moving their head and have the feed directed to the big screen to show how well it works, and then show all these cool examples of other experiences that you will be able to get when you buy a headset.
Its really not that hard and people will be able to think It seems to work really well and those games look damn cool, I think I will give it a try/buy it when it comes out and boom, there is your general interest.
This is exactly where I sit. E3 is going to lose that surprise level that some of us enjoy. Knowing everything that is already going to be there will just be lackluster. If there happens to be more well that will be surprising for sure.
I know some aren't thrilled with all of the pre-E3 announcements this year. While I understand the concern, it's fun to experience it all during the show in one epic swoop, I don't think it's going to compromise E3 in any way.
Just seeing first gameplay footage of games like Fallout 4, Mirror's Edge, Battlefront, Scalebound, Deus Ex, and new footage from already announced heavy hitters like Uncharted 4, Halo, Street Fighter V, and Tomb Raider, is enough to make these a kick ass E3 as far as I'm concerned. Also, past years have shown that even in the wake of a lot of pre-E3 news, there's ANYWAYS surprises at the show.
There's soooo many big and incredible games on the horizon in addition to the indie and creative darlings. I can't remember the last time it was so exciting to be a gamer!

Deep down I think we're gonna be fed a lot of information we've just been told already.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but I can't see things like fallout 4, Dark Souls 3 etc not mentioned, and Microsoft will defintely focus on the 1tb console and then let us know it's "available now" in the U.S. On the 15th.
That sort of stuff won't have the same effect as the console has already been announced lol.
Sony will likely take up time with driveclub ps plus being announced as "available now" which is fine, but I don't think it deserves E3 time to be honest.
I want lots of new stuff
Yeah. Go get a cardboard and let a few people try it and see if you still say that. The idea of VR is still cool to the mainstream. If someone gets out a headset that gives presence for a reasonable price I can see it going seriously mass market. If cardboard evolves to allow phones to do the bulk of the work and provide a decent experience, even more so.
Literally no one has an issue strapping something to their face.the success of diving, motorbikes and bank robbers proves this.
Geeks, especially gaming geeks, massively over estimate the mass market's taste. I remember how mp3, the Wii, the iPod were all certain failures according to the geek community.
Dark souls 3

They're just a few things that will likely take up BIG slots at E3 this year, they are big games and we know about them, I just can't see any real big surprises they can hit us with. With a bit of luck I'll be wrong but if I had to bet on the above being shown I'd say my money was safe.
I just personally don't like how things have been done, like say the 1tb Xbox one announcement, we've been given the dates and pricing...before E3 which I'm fine with, don't need to talk about it at E3. But they will, and it will take up space, they'll tell us how good it is, then say it's available now in the U.S.
That sort of thing doesn't have the same effect in my opinion. Or look at fallout 4, official announcement, trailer, yeah real good it's a big game, you've announced it, so leave a spot at E3 for something that surprises us, but that's NEVER gonna happen, there's gonna be a long ass slot for fallout 4.
Maybe devs and publishers are taking a new aporoach, announce officially before an event so leakers can't get the glory, I don't know.

Portable Hyrule Warriors barely moves the needle, though.

I bet the trailer gets leaked the night before just like last year

I know huh... I am staying away from leaks until end of E3.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Even so, it is probably a major part of Nintendo's event.
Agreed. It will probably be included in a sizzle reel and that's it.

This is what I'm afraid of. Guaranteed they will take up time during the conferences. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this a common complaint in recent years? Devs revealing quite a bit of their hand before the show even started? Much of these big announcements would've made for a more exciting show without prior knowledge.
I just hope they have more to show.
EDIT: I guess I can forgive leaks in a way since they're almost inescapable, if it's not concrete like the Hyrule Warriors 3DS leak just now. There is still an element of "could be, couldn't be" to it which leaves it open for debate.

"There are no leaks leading up to E3."
-No one ever.
-No one ever.
Yeah imagine how big of an effect hitting people with fallout 4 at E3 would have had, without a previous announcement, People would have gone nuts.
Now though it's not going to have much of an effect. I know leaks can ruin things, but there's always an element of surprise with a leak, as you never know for certain. An official announcement about a week before...erm
Or imagine Ms when they announce the 1tb Xbox one, and tell us it's available. Er you already announced that it would be available on the 15th of June in the U.S., the announcements won't have as much of an effect.
Same thing with uncharted collection, I'd rather they had done a surprise announcement that it was coming, but we already know.
I loved how GTA V was announced last year, just that trailer and BAM we knew what was coming, and it was great. Imagine if they had confirmed it a week before E3...and then showed us it at E3 lol
I really hope not, I want that magic feeling again when it's revealed for the first time ever on a press conference.

I agree. It's not coming until Spring 2016 so I'm cool with what they showed and then maybe we can see more at PSX.
Expectations of it turning into a short-lived fad are also incredibly early.
Wait, 8 minutes of gameplay? At work, so time is limited to search, but where can I see this? I must have it.
As for the concern surrounding pre-E3 announcements in this thread...I don't get it. I honestly can't understand why you're upset about getting fantastic new trailers and confirmations for amazing games. Did you honestly want every announcement to come at once on a stage? Is that the only way you can be happy?
Why? It just seems unnecessary, but I guess they have to come up with something for their vast library of games. :\
I don't see how the bolded could be big surprises considering we knew about them long before E3 2015. There's a bunch of games we still haven't seen gameplay reveals of lots of games (including some on that list). There's obviously going to be new reveals at the show. I don't see the problem.
A "big push" at a presser is like 5-10mn I think, with possibly several games being introduced as "will also work on Morpheus for a VR experience".
So even if the very idea of VR sounds like hell to you, it likely won't be that big of a segment Imo.
But that's my point, no surprises.
I feel as if E3 will be mainly stuff we already know about, yes there will be a couple of surprises, but I'd rather have more.
The problem for me is I don't want to see announcements at E3 for stuff they've already announced a week before E3.
Like fallout 4, you've announced it, so we'll see you in a few months with gameplay videos. But noooo they're gonna take up a big slot likely telling us more about it.
There have been some big games announced before E3, the surprise factor is gone now.
You can't tell me you wouldn't have preferred a surprise fallout 4 announcement than what we like have now, fallout 4 simply being shown at E3
I also don't want to hear about driveclub ps plus edition at E3, or the 1tb Xbox one, or ratchet and clank, or uncharted collection. Yes I want gameplay videos etc but do it outside of E3 now
It doesn't necessarily need to be a 'big push' where the exclusive topic is Morpheus and it lasts 20 minutes or whatever. It enhances games, so why not sprinkle it around kind of like they've done when referring to cross-play on Vita? Small segment about the device, the cost, the launch, the real name, the exclusive content, blah blah. Then, as an extra bullet point for new announcements, refer to it in those other segments when that new title includes Morpheus support.
Could come out to 20 minutes of Morpheus talk, but not all at once. Not to mention it would be done in a way that I think most people outside of GAF (because we're never happy about anything) would appreciate.

Horizon, The Last Guardian and Gravity Rush 2 would make it one of the best E3 conferences ever IMO. I think only the middle one there is relatively unlikely.
Indeed.
Hope they don't waste any time on the stuff they are revealing now at the conference.
And now we have tear away unfolded footage just been released....lol
This is what I'm hoping for though. But this is what I think will happen:

It honestly wouldn't make a difference to me because the most important part of the reveal will be at E3, the 20 minute gameplay demonstration that the 3 minute trailer did not show.
You say Bethesda will spend a big slot telling us about Fallout 4, but isn't it likely they were doing to do that anyway?
thats a pretty good price IMO, maybe drop it down to the $600 range and I'm sure it'll sell very well

Gotta say, this has been a really nice pre-E3 week so far. Lots of good trailers and announcements.

Short-sighted fools.
I honestly can't tell you there would be a difference. The game is coming, the venue where it's shown doesn't automatically increase its desirability. I'm not sure why people feel it should.
I would prefer a whole year of steady announcements like this rather a blowout at one single annual presser shit you guys seem to be peddling. In fact, I'll go ahead and say it.
Fuck E3. Fuck GC. Fuck TGS and PGS too. Announcements every week instead.
Says the guy going to the theatre for the Sony presser...
My issue isn't Bethesda using a big slot on fallout 4. It's the fact I'd have rather they announced it officially and then done the slot, rather than announce it before E3. I'd have rather had a bit of a surprise.
Look at the logic behind tear away unfolded for example, gameplay footage is released today and they put this disclaimer. (Why not just show us it at E3 without the pre E3 stuff)

Not to mention it's could be used or more than just games. Movies, virtual field trips
I didn't say it would increase the desirability, but it would make E3 have a bigger impact. For me E3 was always about BIG (mostly surprise) announcements.
It's a personal thing obviously but I'd rather watch E3 and be surprised, I'm sure that's why many watch it.
Imagine if before E3 there was just a checklist of EVERY single thing that was coming, it was official and we would know about every announcement, that wouldn't give me much incentive to watch it.
I prefer the slight element of surprise, but that's just me.
Why is there whining about stuff coming out before E3 exactly? I was under the impression we were all here for the information and announcements regardless of when they happen. Who gives a shit if something is shown today rather than a week from now so long as it's shown to us at all?
Surprise is fun, but at the end of the day it's all about the games for me. I don't feel E3 is diminished by not having surprises if what they do show is exciting. An announcement trailer isn't all that exciting. If all they showed for Fallout 4 was that trailer, then we'd be excited, surprised, but ultimately all we saw was a trailer. The only reason you're imagining how it would be if both the announcement and gameplay happened at the same time is because we got one of those before E3. Now we know to expect the gameplay. We know it'll be there because they got the announcement and first trailer out of the way.
That, to me, is far more exciting and engaging than simple announcements being saved for pressers. Gives the presentation more meat and it can't actually be spoiled or leaked. Superior in all ways if you ask me.
