Sunday, June 9
Xbox -13:00 PT / 16:00 ET / 21:00 BST We will finally get a glimpse, if not details of the two next gen Consoles that Microsoft has been working on.
The Lockhart and Anaconda consoles. Possible release, date even pricing. The Anaconda is the high end console, with the other just a simple streaming console no disc drive.
Possible new Gears of War, and Halo game. They have 14 studio games to announce. Maybe even a reboot of Fable.
Bethesda - 17:30 PT / 20:30 ET / 01:30 BST
The dumpster fire known as Fallout 76 will be there, the big question is will Todd Howard. Doom Eternal. Also might seen more of Starfield.

PC Gaming Show
AMD is said to have a showing which is important as both next gen consoles have their chips. Nvidia also might unveil something new.
Ubisoft - 13:00 PT / 16:00 ET / 21:00 BST
No Skull and Bones as last month it was announced that it was being delayed this time till 2020 and would not even be at E3.
Dancing of course, possible New AC Vikings game, slim possibility of a new Splinter Cell. Ghost Recon updates.
Square Enix - 18:00 PT / 21:00 ET / 02:00 BST
Final. Fantasy. 7. News. There are rumors there will be a demo available to play as well as a release date. Don't believe it.
Also the much speculated Avengers game is set to be announced. Possible game play.
It wouldn’t be E3 without every Ubisoft game leaking, wouldn’t it? Following Roller Champions last month, the third Watch Dogs has now leaked out thanks to Amazon UK, and it’s called Watch Dogs Legion. Kotaku can confirm that this one’s real, as we’ve heard the name from several sources plugged into the company.
Watch Dogs Legion is set in London, as we confirmed a while ago, and here’s the really interesting gimmick: You can play as any NPC you recruit in the game. From the product description:
Play as anyone, Every individual you meet in the open world, has a full set of animations, voice over, character traits and visuals that are generated & guided by gameplay systems
I’ve heard the same, and also that you’ll see different things at different points in the game depending which NPC you’re playing as. In fact, from what I’ve heard, this system is so ambitious that it’s been causing the developers a lot of headaches (and may have led to at least one delay). More next week at E3.
The only thing I'm really looking forward to is the CDPR's presentation with a probable Cyberpunk release date or at least a release window, and a probable teaser or trailer for their second game in the wings. A bit disappointed they'll be keeping gameplay footage behind closed doors still, but I'd guess they're going to release it in a few weeks or months like they did with the 48 minute one.
Might be a few other gems from Microsoft or Devolver that I would keep an eye on.

We haven't seen anything but cinematics yet. Respawn is the best choice under EA to do this.
Thanks StealthBlue for all the links/info. But Grettin, Fallen Order still looked more like Force Unleashed than a Jedi Knight game. Looks very linear, and the mechanics look a bit rough (like the saber tracking blaster shots really not accurately at all), but it's alpha footage, it can improve.
Star Wars did look bit too linear and graphics looked bland. Combat looked fun, but hopefully they'll nail the difficulty right.

I realized what you meant with your previous comment now. And I gotta agree. Lets hope its not a 'star wars cinematic/movie' with some gameplay elements attached to it.
Now I realize I would really like a Shadow of War type game but in Star Wars' universe with you controlling a Jedi. This post-order 66 setting almost fits perfectly. Something more like an open game, letting the player feel really powerful and impactful on the world, and preferably with good combat/lightsaber mechanics.

Yup. Add Mass Effect character development stuff to that and it would be pretty great package overall.
How is it that EA manages to ignore what majority of players want in a FIFA game. An overhaul and expanded Career mode? Instead we get FIFA street... which isn't new. We're going on a decade since anything new that has been added.
Not that CDPR has had the best track record for creative or inspired box art, but man, they went with the most market-tested, generic one ever.
Rumours for release date are floating around as well. Most saying September or November. Though with Jason Schreier saying they would go with a fall 2019 release and then go for a delay, I'm more inclined for that.
Sega announced that Phantasy Star 2 was coming to the US over 7 years ago. How much $$$ did Microsoft pump into Sega to get that game to the XBox I wonder.
Yeah i enjoyed that, some nice games to look forward too. Noticed how quite a few were Japanese based IPs bringing to Xbox which they severely lacked so that is nice.
I won't ever buy a console again especially with the way gaming is evolving into cloud based gaming and finally cross play, but i can see the appeal to those who have never had a game running at 120fps and loading instantly on an SSD XD
That's the end of the Microsoft conference, was stunned they didn't go into more detail of Project Scarlet which is rumored to be two consoles. They seem to be keeping this under wraps for a bit longer. Holiday release next year. Smart that they are working on the xCloud system and the next gen console that go hand in hand. One for games, the other for entertainment.
Microsoft's conference was ok, but I thought it was still fairly predictable. Cyberpunk 2077 with Keanu Reeves had a good segment. I liked seeing bits of AoE2: DE, the new Flight Simulator, the new Lego Star Wars, and some of the indie games. Project Scarlett and Halo Infinite had a lot of buzz but ultimately didn't show off much of substance.
Next year's E3 will definitely be a lot more hype with more details about the new generation of consoles and their games.
You know Bethesda, you could have just delayed Fo76 a year and put in the NPCs and polished it up so it wouldn't have been the shitstorm you experienced.
I'm expecting Starfield gameplay to be unveiled next year, followed by several months of concentrated marketing leading up to a release that same year.
i really gotta ask, im not sure if anyone has asked this before. how do the wolfenstein games do in germany? i mean i'm watching the stream and its like nazi this nazi that, nazi every 2 words.
And Bethesda wraps it up. Weakest of the conferences so far. By my count they had more mobile and card games showcased than actual console/pc games...?
No Fallout remasters, TES 6(obviously). Or even Starfield which has apparently been in development for over five years and the teaser shown last year. Nothing this year.
Death-loop had the strongest showing, that and the hot mic from what appears to be Todd Howard.

AoE2:DE will take SC2's place in RTS, if Microsoft manage to launch properly.
They have an extremely passionate competitive scene. It was somewhat small but somehow they manage to get 10k - 15k prizepools... AoE2HD was extremely bad at launch with dozens of problems (still no working elo, extreme lag issues, lobbies doesn't work at all, performance drops at water maps... List goes on.) People had to play at 3rd party site called Voobly.
Yet... Somehow community created Userpatch (fixes most of issues if not all) and most importantly some dedicated dudes created CaptureAge. The best spectator mode i ever seen in a game. (Including SC2, CS:GO etc.). CA shows almost everything in a pretty clear screen. Unit upgrades, eco upgrades, units, how many villagers working on each resource.. Hell even shows how much resource left on the map (including wood!!!!!)
All AoE2 streamers doubled or tripled viewer numbers. Nili's Apartment Cup (similar to homestory cup) managed to get 18k!!! Mattsalsa (mixer's owner) donates thousands to various aoe2 streamers. Team Secret sponsored the most successful AoE2 team already... (I hope Nazgul decides to invest AoE2. Aftermath have the best young AoE2 players already. And they are prettty decent guys. It won't end like Civilization 6.)
AoE2 have much wider audience then SC. Even my wife still plays it. AoE:DE had a really bad launch but Microsoft managed to fix some issues. All they need to do is reboot the game with a modern UI and modern features.

I'm unsure if they realize the irony of showing a fake overhyping video game trailer at E3. Should have followed it by the announcement that they bought Kojima game studio.
So it seems in episode 3 of the Division 2 we are going after Keener himself. New Raid(The Pentagon), along with new story missions possibly setting it up.
this whole 2 blu ray disk of content is quite catchy, i mean FF15 was like 150gb on PC and it wasnt ALL THAT HUGE to begin with, will take it with a grain of salt

honestly at this point they should approach FO76 s method.the disc is just a device to active internet download
I've only been able to watch 20 minutes of E3 so far, but it was the 20 minutes of FF7 Remake, so I'm fine with that Super psyched for Nintendo tomorrow!
I'm not saying that they needed to get the real actors, I'm saying that at the apex of the MCU its a really bad time to go "and here's THESE avengers". They just aren't. It just feels like they shouldn't have put the reveal of this game so close to the literal global record shattering giant that is Endgame
No one mentioning the FF VIII remaster? The only trailer/reveal this E3 that got an actual open mouthed reaction from me. Everything else this E3 was either spoiled or I knew it was coming...

It's just a remaster. They didn't show anything besides old cutscenes. And FF VII >>> VIII for 99% of the people anyway.
I understand not wanting to show off a lot of new pokemon, but this is a concerning amount of old pokemon. I don't think they've seen anything new. Which I hope is intentional but I'm not sure
Is this the pokemon rpg game they were saying about back in 2017 then? I mean it looks pretty big world they are showing but DynaMax evolution doesn't fit in my pokemon world xD

I thought they said it was gonna be open world...a big open world pokemon borderline an MMO style hype i swear it was getting. Starting from Gen 1 working through etc..not gen 8 - 8 badges and done.

Yup. It was teased back in 2017. Didn't think it would be these two Pokemon games to be honest.
