E3 Live Blogging

[Aulayna]

I'm Live Blogging E3 again over on my own site this year. Didn't get home in time to make an actual article for this, sorry Paul! Will do one for EA onward.

No worries, I've been reading along with you!

[Freya]

So glad you're doing a liveblogging. I'm at work and we have a shitty connection so I can't watch any of the feeds here.

[Psychotic]

Microsoft just kicked a lot of ass.

[Pumpkin]

Beyond Eyes seems really interesting! Shame I won't get an Xbox One for like 10 years

[Psychotic]

The holo lens is what did it for me. I mean I don't think it's going to be more than a casual thing (like the Wiimote or Kinect) but god damn that was some Star Wars shit right there.

[Shauna]

Some cool looking things to come out of MS this year.

[Iceglow]

I was still debating my choice between xbox one and ps4. I was always leaning towards the Xbox 1. Microsoft today, just sold me on it 100% Sorry Sony but whatever you come out with ain't going to beat what Microsoft just dropped. The Holo Lens is fucking insane but a major win was not only backwards compatibility but also that they're working it to allow you to play with people on xbox 360 consoles. This means for me I can play Destiny on the Xbox 1 with my clan mates even if they haven't made the upgrade. Shit like that is fucking amazing.

Not to mention Fallout 3 and 4 with mods!

[Bolivar]

Holo Lens looks unreal. VR doesn't do anything for me, because I heard you get sick playing anything with free movement, but this looks to have a much broader appeal. I know Phil Spencer will be at the PC Gamer conference so hopefully there's more announcements on that for Windows later this week. Really strong showing from Microsoft, especially since most of what they talked about seems like it's coming in the next 6-9 months.

[Loony BoB]

Holo Lens reminds me of Kinect in that it is a really cool concept but until it's fully functional with 100% worthwhile uses for it, I'm still not gonna be shelling out any dough for it.

The main reason I would want something like Holo Lens would be to watch 3D live sport on my desk. Now that would be cool. For gaming, Football Manager would rock it.

While I still wanna play as a TURIAN not another damn human... I do like the exploration vibe.

x-wing! YOU CAN FLY IN IT!? BATTLEFRONT HYPE

[Pumpkin]

EA didn't have anything for me, not my type of games. Excited for more. Thank you so much Aulayna for posting all of this

[Bolivar]

Aulayna's live blog made it sound like the EA presser was a mess but I'm excited to watch that Battlefront trailer.

Wasn't really a mess. It was just very clinical and smothered in PR polish. I mean I know all E3 conferences are, but EA always have this habit of making it as obvious as possible that you're being marketed too - there's no genuineness to most of what their scripts say.

[Psychotic]

The Pele thing was just embarrassing.

[Aulayna]

I need The Division so much... I hope it's not a massive let down.

[Ayen]

Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 looks good. I don't have money for any of the next gen systems so I'll have to wait for the Xbox 360 version of Tomb Raider. I have a feeling it's going to be a mess compare to the XBO port.

I like the expansion for Star Wars The Old Republic. Need for Speed looks good, too. Don't have time to look at the ME4 and Battlefront trailers right now. Ubisoft doesn't have anything that interests me, but that doesn't come as a surprise.

[Aulayna]

Sony: http://finalfantasynews.com/2015/06/15/sony-e3-2015-press-conference-live-blog/

[Aulayna]

Also, the villain in Mirror's Edge Catalyst looks like the actual CEO of EA

[Ayen]

Coincidence? I think not.

[Bolivar]

Ubisoft seems to have a nice lineup.

[Depression Moon]

Twitch crashed for me when Mirror's Edge showed up and that was the first game I was looking forward to see.

[Pumpkin]

world of final fantasy has caught my attention :o

[Ayen]

I stopped following once the FFVII Remake was announced. I've seen all I need to.

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm happy to see The Last Guardian does live. I really was thinking it might have ended up as vaporware. So far, it has been a pretty good show.

[Depression Moon]

That press conference was insane. They bombed E3! I thought Last Guardian was vaporware too, but I ain't really interested. It looks too much like Ico which I found was boring.

That Battlefront footage and Uncharted though.

[Aulayna]

I will be back with Nintendo and SE's conferences later on. For now, it's 3:47 AM and I have work at 9:30 AM...

One word to describe how I'm going to be feeling at work tomorrow:

REKT

[Bolivar]

There's a lot of games journalists trying to downplay that conference :erm:

[Ayen]

There's a lot of games journalists trying to downplay that conference :erm:

Which conference? Square Enix or Nintendo's?

[Freya]

The hype of VII alone will win it for Sony.

[Bolivar]

Sony's.

[Wolf Kanno]

Those journalist are obviously idiots. Last Guardian, Shenmue 3, first dibs on the VII remake, and Uncharted 4 makes me feel that the only thing people will be talking about this year is the Sony Press Conference.

This. Those journalists can go smurf themselves.

[Wolf Kanno]

The new MGSV trailer is just trippy...

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I have to agree with that, Wolf Kanno. I'm pretty intrigued with how this game will turn out.

This really seems to be an exciting time for games!

SQEX tweet says

Presumably we'll see some DQ stuff then, but not sure on whether this means KH3 information is gonna suffer.

[Freya]

Star fox!

[Shauna]

DRAGON QUEST

it'll just be the heroes game but :(

[Pumpkin]

darn it, I don't want to have to get a WiiU now

[Pumpkin]

AAHHHHH they just keep adding stuff that I want I HATE YOU NINTENDO I CAN'T AFFORD A WIIU

[Aulayna]

[Pumpkin]

oh gosh *anticipation*

[Wolf Kanno]

Well two new titles but nothing that is getting my heart pumped for Squenix at the moment since the rest are just sequels I knew were coming. Need to watch the Nintendo Conference highlights later when I have more free time.

[Aulayna]

BRB passing out in the corner

[Vyk]

Oh, I missed this. That IS good news

[Ayen]

Nintendo conference didn't really wow me this year, not that I expected it to come close to either Microsoft or Sony's presentation. I'm happy I'll be able to play Hyrule Warriors now since it's coming to the 3DS, but that's about it besides a vague interest in that Mario/Luigi game.


More information in winter

Winter is coming :stare:

[Shauna]

Now that game hype has died down a bit...

Thanks very much to Aulayna for losing sleep to do these updates! :3
