It happens every single year usually because of their european divisons (usually spain or italy ) sending stuff out PR early and spoiling an entire show.

it will probably happen again this year.

French people are so awesome!

 

[Totobeni]

L∞p I am ready for ya.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

What should my excuse be to not go to work that Monday?

 

[The Elite]

I assume Nintendo will do Tuesday like last year.

 

[Ardenyal]

Ready to be disappointed.

 

[The Omega Man]

I come from the future, Microsoft E3 press conference will start with a live demo of COD Black Ops 2, at some part during the video they will switch to another map by showing the words "in the interest of time" and then continuing the demo.
After that it will be 1 hour of Kinect and then they will end the conference with Halo 4 announcing release date and beta.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Xbox 720 please!

Sorry, this year is all about the killer app for Kinect. Halo 4.

 

[Router]

Im expecting a pretty boring show finishing with a "Oh yeah, here is the future of xbox..." cock tease.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Sorry, this year is all about the killer app for Kinect: Killer Instict

Fixed

 

[jbug617]

It would be good if Microsoft feels threaten at a potential Apple console and decides to reveal the next console this year.

 

[KageMaru]

Xbox 720 please!

Lower them expectations, it's not going to be revealed this year. =p

Funny yes, and accurate!

I really hope you're just joking...

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Considering I only play XBLA games lately I'm really looking forward to new digital announcements. Retail is pretty boring for me lately.

[Auto_aim1]

I hope we see some new IPs.

 

[GK86]

Not expecting much. Boring conference like the past two years.

 

[joshwaan]

Perfect LOL

 

[HigherLevel]

I hope we get something good besides Halo 4. Probably not though.

 

[transience]

I hope Nintendo squeezes inbetween Microsoft and Ubisoft.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Dance central 3

 

[Gregorn]

I can't wait to sit in my room at 3am watching Sony announce games I'm not going to play, it's honestly one of my favourite parts of the year.

 

[LQX]

People always hate on MS conference but its always the most fun to watch as the weirdest shit happens. You just know there will be gif opportunities.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Halo 4, Fable 4, Dance Central 3, Forza 5, Alan Wake 2.

 

[Heart of Black]

I'll be on a plane...

 

[-PXG-]

MS will be Black OPs 2, Halo 4 and Kinect bullshit. Nothing else.

 

[Withnail]

I lied it's -7 cause of daylight savings time

UK also has daylight savings time, so it is -8.

 

[Floex]

Really have no interest in this conference after the last couple of years it pains me to say. Next year's E3, that one will be a monster

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

For euro people: it's 19:00 CET

 

[El_Chino]

Microsoft: Halo 4, next CoD, better kinect games, and some unannounced and perhaps unexpected stuff.

Sony: Vita, vita, vita! Hopefully God of War IV and something good to try and edge out Microsoft and Nintendo.

Nintendo: Obviously all about the Wii-U (still a horrible for the console)

Konami take that prize.

No, the leak last year was on their US website. They posted the entire post-conference version of their front page (including Halo 4, Fable: The Journey, and Ryse) two hours or so early.

IIRC, the biggest leak just before their E3 2010 conference was an Italian banner ad for the 360 Slim, which also revealed Kinect as the final name for Natal. Not quite on the same scale of ineptitude.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I hope we see some new IPs.

That happens when the new gen happens mostly. At this point, if they have a new IP they would be smart to move development to next gen.

 

[Lord Error]

Calling it now: Sony waiting to see if MS announced 2 or 4GB in their console.

Spoiler

more likely, neither announces any console

 

[Kinyou]

What should my excuse be to not go to work that Monday?

A lump on your testicle?

 

[deejay8595]

Expect the leaks to start dropping in May...

 

[El_Chino]

I'm going to guess there's a 5% chance either Microsoft or Sony will announce anything Next-Gen related.

 

[dragonelite]

This E3 Next gen games show reel.
2012 VGA console case reveal.
E3 2013 Console final specs reveal

 

[Sub_Level]

Even though Q4 is when the blockbusters come out, E3 is my gamer Christmas. So hype.

I'm not going in with any expectations about it being the best E3 ever, I've learned my lessons. I know more than half of all E3 conferences are casual bull. I just wanna see some new games to get excited about and more footage about ones I'm already excited about (namely Bioshock Infinite and Metal Gear Rising)

This E3 will also decide if I sell my Vita on June 5th or not.

 

[GeoramA]

Will watch for the Kinect lulz.

GAF just likes to shit on MS. The sony thread is rather positive compared to this one for example.

I'm not expecting anything earth shattering from either MS or Sony. They'll play it safe for one more year and maybe announce their next gen consoles next E3 if Nintendo proves to be a threat.

 

[zlatko]

I just know I have to be at work, and the internet here is dial up levels of bad, so I'll probably have to try and read a liveblog or whatever to follow since a stream will be out of the question, and loading up GAF will be impossible.

 

[enzo_gt]

Halo 4, Fable 4, Dance Central 3, Forza 5, Alan Wake 2.

This year is Forza Horizon. I expect zero Forza 5 talk.

 

[Wario64]

Added link to time zone converter in OP

 

[GrizzNKev]

Maximum hype. Can't wait to be in that audience.

 

[MetatronM]

I really hope you're just joking...

Don't really see why it's all that outlandish. Nintendo is going to be doing a complete reveal of a new console that we still have yet to really see in action. By contrast the other two are seemingly going to have nothing terribly new to report. MS is going to be riding that Halo 4/COD/Kinect hype train, and Sony is going to be trying to salvage public perception of the Vita and showing off its renewed focus on gaming as part of Kaz's overall strategy for the company.

I'm expecting to see some cool stuff at the MS and Sony shows, of course, but Nintendo is clearly the main event here this year, unless something rather drastic changes in the next month and a half.

 

[Adr1an]

Not expecting much too be honest, i think their next console is gonna be an E3 2013 reveal.
I expect this conference too go something like.

- Live demo of COD black ops 2 (some exclusive map or some shit like that)
- Some new apps that no one cares about
- Spend 15 minutes talking about the sales of the 360 and xboxlive
- Forza Horizon demo
- Bunch of Kinect stuff
- Halo 4 demo to close things out

 

[Derrick01]

I'll watch it even though I know it will piss me off like the last couple MS conferences due to Kinect. Why I do this to myself I'll never know.

 

[Plinko]

To be fair, though, MS has had the worst recent conferences by far. It hasn't even been close.

Also, LOL at the Kinect hate in here. Deal with it, GAF.

 

[pestul]

Oooh goodie. Just checked and I'm off that Monday and Tuesday.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

How many games will be shown? All the Kinects.

We like to shit on MS because Sony still shows off some games along side all of their motion bullshit. MS shows off the same COD demo every year and like 1 exclusive (gears or halo) and the rest is Kinect and dumb non-gaming apps.
