E3 2018 Thread: THIS PARTY'S GETTING CRAZY...LETS ROCK! Day 3, Last Day of E3! Streams, Interviews, and Gameplay!

General Discussion
1

Might be a bit early but June will be here before we know it and company’s are already beginning to talk about their E3 plans. So lets get this party started!




Official Website:

Date: E3 will officially be going on from June 12th to June 14th this year. Of course this doesn’t include what any other conferences that may happen before these days. Dates for conferences and events will be placed below.

Chat

This was the discord chat that was made last year. Usually Rock Bogart makes it so if there’s any changes or if someone make a new discord chat then I’ll update the link.

Rumor Mill(on going progress up until the end of the conferences)

Devil May Cry 5:
Yeah this rumor is STILL going…and I’m going to be honest…I’ve kinda given up on it at this point.

It’s not just the fact that though at this point…

With Itsuno stating that he’s working on a new project many fans are hoping that it’s DMC5
http://www.inquisitr.com/3883835/devil-may-cry-5-release-date-possibly-hitting-in-2017-according-to-rumors-following-hideaki-itsunos-cryptic-tweet/

It’s also very possible that the game Itsuno is working on is a sequel to Dragon’s Dogma…but it’s very interesting that Johnny and and Langdon were doing work so long ago and we still have no idea for what it was for and that was a year ago.

This is the last thing heard from Itsuno involving the game he’s working on
https://twitter.com/tomqe/status/913376662217039873?lang=en

So all we know at this point is that he’s working on something…but we still don’t know what it is.

Ninja Gaiden 4:
This has been floating around for a minute as well…Confirmed to be in development by Team Ninja and then complete silence on it

Team Ninja has been still pretty silent about this. No other rumors have come up pertaining to this game.

Cyberpunk 2077 may show up at E3 this year

I know a lot of people have been looking forward to this game since it was announced from them. We may actually get a glimpse of this game this year fingers crossed!

Animal Crossing for Switch?
http://nintendoenthusiast.com/blog/p/04/10/leaked-animal-crossing-switch-unannounced-2018-games-news-block/

People were hoping for one on Wii U and came away dissappointed but maybe this year fans may get what they want?

Forza Horizon 4

http://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/04/11/forza-horizon-4-confirmed-for-e3-reveal-xbox-one-x/
It’s pretty much confirmed that Horizon will be there in some capacity whether it’s Horizon or not we don’t know yet.

Yakuza Devs are working on a new IP

Chances of it being at E3? Probably not that high but hey…never know!

New Splinter Cell Rumor
https://gamerant.com/splinter-cell-e3-2018-announcement-rumor/

I feel like this is likely to happen. Wildlands just recently had an event where Sam Fisher was a part of it and while that on it’s own doesn’t really mean anything the fact that they do this cross promotion and then a rumor about a new game popping up around the same time is suspect.

Then there’s the fact that Amazon had a listing for it
http://vgleaks.com/rumor-splinter-cell-2018-appears-amazon-e3-2018-reveal/

yeah…suspect.

And to go with the Splinter Cell rumor

Watch Dogs 3 and Division 2 may be showing up at E3
https://gamerant.com/ubisoft-triple-a-game-2018/

rumors started floating around involving those 2 about the same time info about a possible Splinter Cell came out in the wild.

Retro Studios is working on…Starfox Grand Prix?

This is nearly in the same level as Mario + Rabbids when it was just a rumor. It’s so out there that there’s probably a good chance that it may very well be true.

Walmart Canada may have spoiled a bunch of games for E3

So…this happened. Normally I wouldn’t read much into this however…there are several games on here that have been rumored and even one that has now been confirmed in the case of Rage 2. Other games on this list include Gears 5 and Just Cause 3.

Main Conferences: Conference dates and times will be placed here as I become aware of them

Bethesda: Sunday June 10th @ 6:30 PM PT / 9:30 PM ET
Devolver Digital: Sunday June 10 @ 8pm pt/ 11pm ET

Limited Run Games: Monday June 11 @ 12:00PM PT/ 3:00PM ET

Sony: Monday June 11th @ 6:00pm PT/ 9:00pm ET
Nintendo: Tuesday June 12th @ 9:00am PT/ 12:00 PM ET

Other Events: Any other major events not directly tied to a main conference like tournaments I will place here as I am made aware of them.

Microsoft: They will be doing streaming of games throughout most of the event on Xbox Daily

Nintendo: Nintendo will usually have their Treehouse stream after their showcase that will have gameplay and interview with devs of games. Don’t be surprised if there may be some surprise announcements from the stream as they have been known to do it. Smash will be the first game on the stream this year after the presentation.

They will also have a Splatoon 2 Tourney and Smash Bros Switch tourney
https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/super-smash-bros-invitational-2018-splatoon-2-world-championship-tournaments
Update 1:

Splatoon 2’s World Champion times:
Semi Finals 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM PT/ 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM ET on June 11
Finals: 1PM PT/ 4PM ET on June 12

Smash Invitational we now know will be on June 12th right after Splatoon 2’s tournament ends on June 12th

Sony: Sony usually does streams of games as well throughout

Capcom: Capcom usually has some type of stream going for the past few years where they’ll focus on any games they announce. More than likely I’d bet they’ll have some gameplay of the latest update for SFV along with whatever character they probably show off this year…Perhaps G? Or maybe they’ll show glimpses of reformed prison man or perhaps a humbled Thai warrior?

E3 bets
Any takers this year?
.

Streams: Some of these may not be exact…I’ll update them if anything changes.

WELCOME…TO SUPER VEG–I mean welcome to the new E3 thread guys! You guys ready for this year? All 3 companies are doing varying degrees of great this go round so I highly doubt things would get as ridculous as Sony’s 2006 conference but I’m expecting great things from at least the big 3 this year…cept maybe M$ but they’re backed into a corner so they gotta have SOMETHING right?

So what do you guys want to see? What are you hype for? What are you most worried about? What are your expectations? SOUND OFF!!!

I’m hoping to see the Marvel games that Square Enix is producing. I’ll be happy to see at least a cinematic trailer.

Saw that Bethesda might be releasing a sequel to Doom 2016 from some recent interviews and might be on Earth. Either way boarding this HYPE train now.

That is one of the games I’m hoping to see this year. We got that one teaser and then nothing for about a year. I just want to see a concept trailer…nothing big just an idea of what their plan is for it for the time being. The potential for this is massive.

I’m going to be there in person this year. Hoping to get into the Bethesda and Microsoft pressers but no info on how to get in yet.

Most of the games I am hoping are made do not seem the kind that would be revealed at E3. I am also a bit reluctant about the direction they would take as I have seen many once great franchises tarnished in the last two generations.

However, I am hoping for an update on Resident Evil 2 Remake and Final Fantasy VII Remake (and I am still not sure whether I want Shenmue III news).

If by some miracle there is a new single player Elder Scrolls with quality combat design, a Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Remake with IV’s driving & shooting and Bully’s/The Warriors’ fighting mechanics, a Virtua Fighter 6 without the nonsense of Final Showdown, or a Fighters Megamix 2 based on Virtua Fighter 4/5 mechanics that includes Yakuza Characters I will be ecstatic.

Yeah part of the rumor mill is Bethesda has a new IP showcasing this summer (Star field).
And they are hinting there several games and projects they have in store as well as Starfeild will be avaliable for multiple platforms (PS4, Xbone, Switch, PC).

i wish Treasure would do a Sega Ages style collection. I would pay good money for a collection with Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Guardian Heroes, Gunstar Heroes and some other shit.

Dreaming is easy.

Only thing I’ve been hearing pertaining to Treasure is that teasing about them bringing Ikaruga it to the Switch unfortunately

They’ve been pretty silent for a few years…haven’t made anything new since 2014 supposedly

Yea they are a pretty different company these days, almoat all the old heads are gone which is why i would simply like a collection.
