Roundup of things we know about E3...

Feel free to let me know what I'm missing and I'll add it in.

Sony

Personally, I think it'll be shown at PGW instead, if only because it'll probably be better timing-wise to announce your new game after the other is released, but Media Molecule (Mark Healey) has been talking about how 2015 is the year for the announcement for their unannounced project.

Tossed it in.
 
Honestly, as far a Sony goes, as long as I hear about that level 5 game, horizon, Something major from Sony Japan (doesn't have to be tlg), and hear that ratchet and at least one other large exclusive are coming this fall, I'm cool.

They probably have stealth-renamed a completely different game to "The Last Guardian" and will claim to have completely redesigned it from scratch.

Nah. I can confirm TLG has had a troubled development path for sure. There has been a non trivial amount of outsourcing involved which is odd for a first party Sony title. But it is absolutely still in development.

to be clear I'm not claiming to be an insider with intimate knowledge but I do have a friend or two in the dev scene here in Japan and have heard this through the grapevine and have already discussed this with BishopTL a while back*
 
I'll probably consider Microsoft the winner of e3 if they end up finally letting us get another adventure from banjo and Kazooie. Nuts and bolts was just unfair. Ok, maybe some did enjoy it, but I was hoping to go on another adventure. Not creating vehicles and then seeing how well they drove.

Ms will get bonus points if they can show another game from rare with new or already existing ip.

Looking forward to finally seeing what the new ratchet and clank for ps4 is too.
 
There will be tears and gnashing of teeth.
GAF will both love and hate EA.
Ubisoft will continue to Ubisoft us all.
Sony has several nice montages. And hats.
MS realises that runner up medals don't please investors. Or publishers.
There will be more colours than brown, blue or orange.

Hmm far too vague.

So Sony have a fair few moneyhats? Montage = clips of multiple games (big/small titles?)
Microsft won't be playing second fiddle? No idea what this means. They are going for the money this time?
I think the EA one has me a little excited, especially Star Wars.

They must had some really big problems..
 
there are some games I really want
but the only problem I have, taking the past in consideration
is will I be disappointed? once, I actually get the game I thought I had wanted?
 
The Gears beta leaked, so that's one thing that was likely planned for E3 but was leaked earlier. Plus we're still more than a month away from the show, which means that there's plenty of time for additional leaks. It seems pretty doubtful that the Gears beta will be the only thing that leaks.
 
Thanks! Love Gopher's posts.



Indeed, I was happy to see that the MediEvil leak was fake. No leaks, mothereffers.

teases are awesome, and allows for rampant speculation. I love teases

But full on early leaks can burn in the fires of hell. Destroys conferences.

Street Fighter V would of been a major deal if it was not already known about and would of made a lot of people go HOLY SHIT at PSX. But instead, it had people saying, " was that the only major exclusive?? ".

Same with Project Beast at E3. While there were plenty of other announcements, that one would of been MASSIVE, since FROM is so well loved, but it was leaked nearly a full month early.

So yeh, hopefully the full leaks get buried this year and we just get some teases like that from GopherD. That stuff is fun.

Also, I hope whomever walks out for Konami to show MGSV gets boo'ed LOUDLY.
 
I hope MS bundles all GOW games, and not take Sony's approach and only 1 remaster title.

I don't know about that. After the MCC debacle, I'd rather they focus on one game and put it out correctly (I hope they price it better than Sony though). It's so disappointing they couldn't manage to achieve a solid 60fps in the campaigns for those games and the framerate fluctuates a lot in splitscreen (which wasn't an issue in halo 1-3 before, not sure about 4 as I never got the opportunity to play that splitscreen for campaign).

Unless Bluepoint is handling the remaster. Then sure, go for it.

Even though that sounds childish, I kinda want to see that. LOL.
 
Every publisher will walk up on stage, and announce a Kickstarter for every game.

That's why there's no leaks. Because it hasn't been funded. All the betas and trailers are just concept assets/vertical slices meant to sell us the Kickstarter.
 
So do people think Gears for will make it out in 2016? I feel that if they're remaking Gears 1 entirely, including the multiplayer, they'll wait a bit as not to fragment the community. And with development time taking longer than ever this gen I can see a 2017 Release. MS can just make Crackdown their big Holiday 2016 title, they did end their conference with it last year.
 
I took the MS one as going all out, first party wise.

Yeah, without starting a flame war, I think Sony actually gave MS a bit of a breather last year compared to the year before. Now, MS have scraped back some ground (though PS4 is still far and away the leader) and I think they're gonna want to really deliver on concrete games now they've shaken the always online/kinect image.

If it's a just a remaster, I think it'll be out this year.
 
On the Konami stream last night Yuichi hinted something Suikoden related at E3 but denied ever happened later. More than likely it's Suikoden 3 as a PS2 classic if the rating for Europe is anything to go by.

Verendus said that a new Suikoden is in the works actually..
Verendus said:
1. New Suikoden game in the works now. This one is very far off though as it's a recent thing as far as I know. I'd think 2016 is the earliest we start hearing stuff about it.

But with all the stuff going on at Konami, who knows if this is still a thing.

I don't want leaks but I love teases. This message I interpret as.

Tears and gnashing of teeth = a bible reference? weeping and gnashing of teeth usually has to do with casting folks to the outer darkness/hell = lots of bans on gaf. Though e3 is a time where bans happen, specifically talking about this could mean there is something this e3 that could really rile up people to get banned.

EA is going to have a strong showing, but there's news that gaffers will like and gaffers will hate. New entry in a series that has been gone for a while, but totally changed to the point where it doesn't even resemble it? Or, a new title that gaf really loves but is now exclusive to a particular system? Is this what gets gaf really riled up for those bans?

Ubisoft one is clear.

Sony is straightforward as well moneyhats for exclusive content/timed content etc.

MS loses some 3rd party partnerships, will have mainly a first party showing because of this. Stretching that further, the publishers comment could possibly mean that the xbox one is not getting some games the ps4 will be getting (but this is unlikely as the xbox one still has a decent market share right now, unless those sony moneyhats are coming into play here)

The colors one can mean anything. But I'll just post what first came to mind. GG's next game, Horizon should be unveiled. Killzone was associated with the color brown before. Then that changed to blue and orange for shadowfall. OR it can just mean there are a lot of different types of games with really unique artstyles/color schemes this time around.

I read that before but E3 is not really a place to announce it. TGS would be more likely but I say next year before we hear about it.

I think Torashir0, emperor of the Japanese videogame industry, hinted something about that too.
Edit: oh that was just about a rerelease, pls ignore me
 
Most excited to see the Sony conference this year. This has potenial to be pretty good, since there are so many different developers that havent showed of their game and since they have canceled the Gamescon conference. Would love some info about Horizon, a lenghty Uncharted 4 gameplay demo and maybe some info about the multiplayer. Maybe a new Gran Turismo and a tease of The Last Guardian and this will be the best conference ever.

For Microsoft i am excited to maybe hear some information about the new Gears of War. It would be funny if they had some secrets up their sleeves, but i doubt it judging their position in the market.

You doubt they'll have any surprises due to the PS4 outselling them? If anything, that means they'll have more surprises. They need to give people more reasons to buy the Xbox One.
 
Is it too soon to be hearing something about Minecraft: Story Mode from Microsoft and Telltale? I don't think Microsoft will go a whole conference without mentioning the game they paid $2billion+ for.

Yeah, the real question is whether or not they have any '2015/2016' surprises, instead of announcing a 2017 surprise.

I think they'll have Rise Of The Tomb Raider, Forza Motorsport 6, Gears Of War remaster and Halo 5 for their 2015 holiday line-up, but hopefully we'll see a few new games for 2016 to accompany games such as Crackdown.
