E3 Thread: 2012 Edition (Conference Times in First Post)

[Electro UK]

I'm pumped to see the Wii U again now. I was an initial skeptic but I think the variety of different uses that controller could have has way more potential than the Wii. And if all retail games go digital on it then I'll flip a lid with joy.

 

[Electro UK]

you sure that's right? I swear Sony after only a few hours after MS.

 

[Havok83]

I posted it in the opening post of the thread. Sony's conference is set for the evening that day

 

[Soapy]

I'm pretty sure it's correct.

Edit: Yep. 6pm PST

 

[Electro UK]

Oh, my table reading skills are not what they used to be. I thought it was suggesting the Sony conference was on Wednesday.

I miss when Sony used to go last.

 

[Soapy]

You can watch Microsoft's press conference on your Xbox.

(On visiting MS in a few weeks) Pachter: "They told me don't expect a lot of game stuff, expect a lot of dashboard, interface, multimedia."

That is interesting...

[Nightmare]

So hopefully we get some surprises that we didnt know was coming!

 

[TX85]

I'm fine with MS not announcing a lot of new games stuff cause I personally don't care much for exclusives and ones I care about for Xbox like Halo will be covered,IF more multimedia stuff are being added like apps then I expect Skype and maybe a web browser!!

As for games I'm hoping for new trailers/gameplay footage&hands-on previews for..

GTA V
Alien:Colony Marines
Hitman:Absolution
Assassins Creed III
Halo 4
WWE'13

SpikeTV to debut new Star Wars franchise

It is probably going to be a series of Star Wars Dancing Games for the Kinect

 

[TX85]

Great article,Very curious to see what it is!!

 

[Solidus]

Hmmm new Star Wars game eh? I can't believe it's E3 time again already.

 

[socool]

I'm actually excited for E3 this year. The past 2 years have been major "meh" years for me in terms or excitement before, during, and after the event. This one I'm actually looking forward to. Late 2012/Early 2013 has some really big hitters that I've been clamoring for. Should be nice to see them in action soon!

I hope they reveal the details of PES 2013.

Xbox E3 briefing to include world premieres from Capcom, EA Sports, Harmonix, Square-Enix, THQ and Ubisoft.

Anyone want to guess what they are?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Resident Evil 6, Madden(showcasing Kinect features), Rock Band: Insert Band Name Here, Hitman maybe, new WWF game, Assassins Creed.

I dont think any of them will be new titles or 'world premiers'. I dont think Keighley knows what that phrase means.

In other words it'll all be stuff we've seen before, maybe there will be some nifty new trailers but nothing spectacular.

 

[Soapy]

I'm going to say:

Capcom - Lost Planet 3
EA Sports - Fight Night Kinect
Harmonix - Dance Central 3
Square-Enix - Thief 4
THQ - Darksiders II or Insane
Ubisoft - Splinter Cell 6

Square is likely a second Tomb Raider demo, no? Or Hitman.

Anyways, the important thing is that Lords of Shadow 2 is going to be announced this week. Screw the rest of E3 unless Dead Space 3 is announced.
