I realized that I goofed on Sony’s date actually and fixed it. Both Microsoft and Sony will actually be doing their conferences on Monday before E3 officially kicks off and Nintendo just now confirmed that they will be doing their’s Tuesday at 9am. I think this is the first time in awhile that 2 companies are doing their conferences on Monday. It also gives Nintendo room for their conference…Neither Microsoft nor Sony will have to go after them and they can set the bar.

Electronic Arts and Ubisoft’s dates have also been placed up there. So I guess we’re waiting on Konami now.

Edit: Had to check on that and nope Sony actually moved their conference to Monday last year. I was incorrect.

Gabe Newell: We are not announcing anything at E3

No Half-Life 3, no Left 4 Dead 3, and no Portal 3.

43

Heh at this point I almost wanna say Half Life is dead in the water.

I mean does anyone really care anymore? We’ve been left hanging since 04. I sure as shit have moved on.

44

I feel the same way, except for the KH series. I can’t be bothered to play a bunch of portable spinoffs when I don’t even have the slightest clue of what’s going on with KH3. Besides, seeing a bunch of shitty cosplay makes me wanna play the game even less.

45

i’d like to play BBs but my PSP is busted so it’s not gonna happen. That series is rather dead to me as well.

46

Profound sadness.

47

I just want to see Itagaki’s new game, and him troll DOA5 :rofl:

48

Put this under Expectations.

I expect it to suck. Again.

49

We need another E3 2010 Konami-level conference. That shit was GODLY.

50

Seriously…I wouldn’t even mind The Orange Box being ported to Vita…with ongoing updates for TF2…or even a vita L4d collection.

51

Actually the only conference of the Big 3 I’m betting will be lackluster this year is Microsoft’s. Sony’s conference should more or less be pretty damn solid since they have a good chunk of exclusives. Nintendo’s is a wild card…3DS stuff I’m expecting to be great but that conference is going to be riding on Wii U.

52

Spike TV and your very own 360 will be streaming Microsoft’s E3 conference

53

Put this under Expectations.

I expect it to suck worse.

I am floating, with my eyes closed, with no sails. I am soaking, I am weathered, by the winter of mixed drinks.

54

Microsoft told Pachter their E3 focus is on services over games

This game from an episode of Bonus Round on GT.

EGM: Final Fantasy Versus XIII a No Show at E3
http://www.egmnow.com/8bitenvy/final-fantasy-versus-xiii-a-no-show-at-e3/

I think I remember someone joking about this game being the next Duke Nukem Forever and I kind of laughed at it. Now…it’s barely a chuckle.

55

Not like I am expecting it to be any good.

FF13 was ass.

56

I predict that Versus 13 was cancelled, or will be. The Last Guardian too.

57

You can’t cancel something that never existed.

I’d like to know what Retro’s been doing. Legend of Zelda spin off starring Zelda plz.

58

I dunno where to put this sooo I’ll put it here. Konami and Namco/Bandai got fucked in the stock market today after a court ruling dealt a huge blow to Japan’s social gaming bubble. You might have heard that some notable SquareEnix staff quit and joined the top mobile game companies (DeNA and GREE) because it’s been a booming business for the past couple years. Traditional game companies (Konami, Namco) receive greater profit from social games than the games they make for console/traditional handheld. The ruling over the weekend is going to mean huge cuts in revenue (which is perfectly fine and just, from an ethical standpoint).

This kind of explains the practice that’s been ordered to cease and desist by Japan’s consumer protection agency http://andriasang.com/con0we/dena_gree_complete_gacha/

59

I keep saying, Versus 13 was canceled forever ago. Not too happy about The Last Guardian, though.

60

I’m confident the last Guardian will pull through, Versus 13 is a maybe. I am hoping E3 surprises me because it looks like a dull show this year. This is kind of what happens on the verge of a new generation. Probably good for my wallet though cause I already have my eye on 4 titles for this year.
