E3 2013

Kicks off tomorrow, key conferences are

Microsoft, 9.30am PT (5.30pm BST)
EA, 1pm PT (9pm BST)
Ubisoft, 3pm PT (11pm BST)
Sony, 6pm PT (2am Tuesday BST)
Nintendo Diect, 7am PT Tuesday (3pm BST).

Irritatingly I'm going to be on a plane during the first four of those but on the upside, it's a plane to LA, I'll be at the show from Tuesday. So, E3 ILG FAP anyone?

ooh jealous, are you press or developer side?
the terribly named Murdered: Soul Suspect has been the most interesting thing shown so far, wall clipping as a gameplay mechanic! http://youtu.be/IwyKqjM9Whg

Oh I'm retail. So it's probably going to be a kinda bittersweet week really heh.

I'll be mainly watching this thru Giant Bomb's coverage/nightly video casts. Sitting thru daily pressers seems like hell, tho.

i admit, i cracked up when Patrick Warburton showed up at the end of that Murdered trailer

almost time

MS stream: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hub

that's not working for me, try http://www.gametrailers.com/netstorage/e3/live.html

metal gear: teats

Glad to see them copy PS+ for xbox gold.

press Y to Yawn

Can someone bump this thread when MS show actual gameplay footage rather than prerendered cutscenes?

Ryse: crytek on-rails QTE game that copies saving private ryan and god of war. "exclusive at launch" meaning not exclusive
Killer Instinct: now there's a good teaser! 1 minute long, all gameplay
Sunset Overdrive: colorful shooting game, interesting
Forza 5: cloud processing cloud processing power of the cloud SAY MCLAREN cloud cloud cloud

god of war/qte shit = http://uzimacommunityblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/simonextreme.png

supposedly Ryse started as a Kinect game. it shows.

Minecraft: who cares
Quantum Break: all cutscenes, still no idea what this game is
an episodic mystery game from the deadly premonition team that left no impression
Project Spark: obviously scripted kinect gameplay demo

so this is mostly just shooting games so far? + forza?

for the first time I'm starting to hope for the steam box b/c maybe I'm just getting too old for console gaming circa 2013

some smartglass device integration thing that no one will use
kinect dvr demo that was obviously fake
Crimson Dragon: panzer dragoon type game, not much shown
Dead Rising 3: looks good. no loading times, open world. somewhat dodgy framerate.
Witcher 3: mostly cutscenes. pretty.
Battlefield 4: a/v snafus were more interesting than this entire series

wait what hold up, "panzer dragoon type game"?

Minecraft: who cares

Oh wow, a game that I've been able to play on my PC for the last two and a half years.

that halo trailer was super funny/ret*rd*d

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Dragon

Crimson Dragon requires the Kinect sensor to play okay never mind

Below: indie-looking game with not much shown
black tusk studios teaser with nothing shown
prerendered teaser for a halo game, announcement that it's 60fps, that's it
$499, dead on arrival

that awkward pause after the price reveal was p funny

$499

Wait, when did MS suddenly become Sony?

Titanfall: how can a game with jetpacks and mechas look so boring

£429 in UK. PS3 launched at £425, and we know how well that went.

Well what a surprise, we get shafted again in the UK. Especially as most of the TV features won't work outside the US.

429 HA! good luck microdaft

#500lollars should be trending right now

Solid Snake ‏@SolidFNSnake 14m

Did you enjoy the $499 worth of light beams, DRM and shooting not-Caucasians that was the #XboxE3 conference?

when does sony announce?

xp :D

i will definitely look forward to playing Below on my ipad

oh wikipedia... never change.

Sony @ 6pm PT 9pm ET 2am UK

ps4 $498.99

lol

lol-sigh at them bringing back Killer Instinct. just kill Rare already

PS4 - no DRM but the case is made from crushed baby seals. That's why the teaser trailer looked the way it did, it wasn't blurry, it was furry.

lol "ryse"

http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/iHKKq7kMF8w/hqdefault.jpg

want some ryse

... and they just released an updated 360 that looks similar to the Xbox One. hmm

3rd person Plants vs zombies shooter o boy o boy just what i never could give to shits about come to life

... who thought this was a good idea

ea is showing off new ball dribbling technology

Meaning that anyone who buys an XBoxOne has to dribble on EA's balls.
Told you that you should have read the EULA...

ok DRAKE

drake is speaking about video games

drake loves fifa and plays alot of fifa

as far as I know there's nothing inherently British about the phrase "steal a march"

first time i've heard it; may be a wargame aficionado thing? Or else i'm just a nancyboy peacenik what doesn't play halo.

never heard it before either. how does one possess a march

"Steal a march" is an old phrase used to indicate when one does something before an opponent and thus gain a tactical advantage. Armies "would steal a march" by moving while the opponent slept.

getting an extra day's marching in by losing an entire night's sleep before a battle seems a bit risky to me - you end up 20 miles closer to people trying to kill you while you struggle to stay awake

plus what if somebody hacks your network and shuts it down

btw, this was what it looked like when they brung the ruckus

the evil cackle at 1.22 is like the most ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED shit

if nothing else i love the gifs that come out of these events

this will forever be the greatest e3 generated gif of all time

lol, that truly is the best!

so i don't want to get TOO excited about this, but the PS4 already has three 5-star customer reviews on bestbuy.com. i feel like it can't miss.

ok i laughed http://youtu.be/uEvi2vcarSA

hahaha excellent

sony killing it* this E3

wii fit trainer had me in stitches

ps3 is region free, but its up to developers if they want to enforce a lock - this happened with Persona 4 Arena recently

stay classy, Microsoft!

dig this, the LittleBigPlanet dudes are putting out a papercraft adventure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Szw_62e_gM

jesus fuck at that "let it happen" shit
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/06/microsoft-employee-rape-joke-e3-response/66132/
and the atlantic's followup is illustrated by rapememe.jpgs? stay classy atlantic i guess.

the article itself says they were trying to make it clear that the article writer wasn't making up the fact it was a rape reference, which is pretty sad in all respects

oh, microsoftpaws

Wow. That's a serious case of foot in mouth disease.

xp or, you know, buy a PS4

wow the Machinima ass kissing coverage is horrible to watch.

I've got to stop reading the comments from MS fanboys because it's giving me a rage headache.

I think the XBone makes some amount of sense if you don't actually care about gaming; I said on another thread that a good friend of mine is directly within their target demographic (he currently owns a PS3 that he uses exclusively as a Blu-Ray player, plus an Apple TV, and is the type of person with disposable income who would love to consolidate those two devices into one box).

That being said, after their stunning E3 performance I would be avoiding XBone even if it came with bags of money attached to it.

I get the feeling that the XBoxOne was designed to fit in with what non-gamers wanted 5-6 years ago. But now those features are either built into TVs, or are provided by the free boxes that people get with their cable/satellite sports subscription.

do people actually use SmartTV stuff tbh? (besides Netflix, which is available on every smart TV, console, and utility box at this point) I see AppleTV as an exception, let alone Roku/etc.

SmartTV features I have used:

- Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go
- Youtube
- music streaming
- ...

maybe xboner tv will be the killer app, webcamming with kinect integration & THE CLOUD

chatroulette so you can kinect with random boners via your xboner

like being able to watch tv tv tv watch tv tv tv tv tv watch tv tv sports tv tv tv tv sports sports sports

"Here's a box to plug into your TV that does what your TV already does!"

all I do with my tv is watch sports & play video games but the xbone doesn't help with either

you should get a 360

boned

After telling us that if we couldn't afford a fast enough internet connection we should buy a 360 instead, MS went on to insult our mothers.

You know who else has a 360?

you've just been sitting on a moment to pop that out, haven't you.

naw, just a regular show fan
forks throws pottery (and maybe you do too?) - An ILX Ceramics Thread

I'm just mystified by microsoft, I've never seen anything like this. It's like a charlie sheen public meltdown....the mattrick quote came off so poorly & unlike when adam orth made those tweets it's not like they can pawn it off as an employee talking out of turn, he's president of IEB...sad thing is that he's very nice & comes off well irl, not a business school guy, founded the first canadian independent developer in his parents house as a teen

I'm somewhat mystified by the fact that there are actual Microsoft fanboys. I thought everyone hated them since at least the mid 90s.

quiet, oldster
