So pumped for this. I didn't end up watching Nintendo's one last year, I just went through the important snippets but with a console reveal it seems I'll be watching all of the big three this year.

Are the individual publisher ones actually worth watching? I didn't last year...

I want more details about the NGP personally.

Definitely no Alan Wake 2, Remedy have already confirmed that. Will be 'something different' but still about Alan Wake.

And the MW3 DLC is already locked to exclusivity, that was announced at MS's conference last year that would last until 2013 I think it was.

Are the individual publisher ones actually worth watching? I didn't last year...

I'd say so yes. But I'm into everything gaming as it is.

I only missed out on Konami's freaky as **** conference last year out of the lot.

For mine EA's was the best apart from Sony's presser last year. EA were just no fuss and got down to showing off their games, was absolutely fantastic and I really hope they continue with that this year.

Really hoping that Ubisoft get Joel McHale back again, he was great last year when I didn't know who he was, now that I do and his show is probably my favourite one going around I really want to see him give this another go.

All I want out of this years E3 pressers though is more Kevin Butler.

Anyway, here's my bullet point impressions from moment to moment of each of last year's conferences. Will do it again this year...wonder if MS's will be on Foxtel again.
Sony Conference
EA Conference
Microsoft Conference
Nintendo Conference
Ubisoft Conference

And my thoughts of the E3 overall from what I could see:

Definitely no Alan Wake 2, Remedy have already confirmed that. Will be 'something different' but still about Alan Wake.

I'm thinking maybe some sort of GOTY version for PS3/PC maybe.

I'd say so yes. But I'm into everything gaming as it is.

I only missed out on Konami's freaky as **** conference last year out of the lot.

Hmm, okay then. I would have last year but for time constraints. There'll be a fair few to wade through...

If PSN isn't back up by Sony's presser then the shit will hit the fan...

All I want out of this years E3 pressers though is more Kevin Butler.

They should get him to just mock the shit out of the whole situation before Microsoft (or heaven forbid) Nintendo can get in. With Microsofts press conference being first though you can basically guarantee they'll have a dig in there somewhere though...

Sony Conference

• HOLY SHIT. PORTAL 2 WILL BE ON THE PS3!!! OH MY ****ING INSANELY EPIC GOD! Gabe Newell is literally eating his words on stage (watch out for Monty Python moment!). Gabe says that the PS3's Portal 2 will be THE BEST console version due to Steam integration.
• Final Fantasy XIV shown...but who gives a ****...PORTAL 2 ON THE ****ING PS3 MOTHA****AS!!!!!!
• HOLY CRAP SONY IS BLOWING US AWAY RIGHT NOW.

PC maybe, but I doubt it. Remedy are a MS first party dev, so they won't be releasing a PS3 version.

no they're not. Alan Wake is published by MS though

Episode 3...Episode 3...Episode 3...

DON'T COP OUT GABE.

 

[pantskyle]

Half Life update FFS miss that ****ing series,

 

[Jabso]

Hopefully more details about Madden 12's more realistic looking grass.

Also will be interesting what features EA took out of Sims 2 (even Sims 1), will be put back into the latest money grabbing sims 3 expansion.

PS Sacka nice job on the OP, very informative especially with the Australian times.

 

[LFC2010]

I'd probably be interested to see info about FIFA 12 & Need for Speed - The Run. Loved Hot Pursuit, hopefully NFS - The Run will be similar with updated features etc...etc...

 

[JR#8]

Looking forward to seeing Nintendo. I love new console time!

 

[Jabso]

Just looking at Nintendos E3 press where they revealed the "Revolution" (Wii), they didn't give away that much, so don't be too disappointed if you don't really see much. Maybe just the console prototype.

 

[Mkcaptain]

SKYRIM, SWTOR, ME3,

AFL Live 2012 and Battlefront 3

MS totally targeting the audience at E3

Kinect: MS to "serve hardcore" at E3

totallyAt least 10 non-sequel Kinect games will be announced at trade show E3 next month, Eurogamer can reveal.

One source told us these games "won't be obvious". Another source said Microsoft is expected to "serve the hardcore" at E3 with its Kinect announcements.

This is in addition to planned announcements of sequels to Kinect games, Eurogamer sources have indicated.

Rare will unveil Kinect Sports 2, set for release Christmas 2011, Eurogamer understands.

Rare is also hard at work on a second Kinect game, although this is under wraps. We do know, however, that this game is not associated with any of Rare's established characters, such as Banjo.

An announcement relating to Xbox 360 Christmas 2011 launch exclusivity for Dance Central 2 is "highly likely", Eurogamer has been told.

Elsewhere, two new Kinect games from a developer that has already launched Kinect games will be announced at the show. The developer wished to remain anonymous.

Microsoft has set up a London Soho Studio that Eurogamer has been told is hard at work on a Kinect game "aimed at the younger audience".

A new studio, MGS Family, has been set up close to Microsoft's Redmond HQ.

According to job descriptions spotted by 123Kinect, this studio is focused on "highly experimental gameplay" for Xbox 360 and Kinect.

It is already known that MGS Vancouver is looking for staff to work on a triple-A shooter Kinect game project.

Microsoft plans to triple the number of games available for Kinect by the end of 2011.

Meanwhile, Eurogamer has heard an open world driving game called Forza World is in development at UK developer Playground Games, helmed by ex-Codemasters racing studio executive producer Gavin Raeburn.

Raeburn's LinkedIn profile reveals he's "working on an unannounced AAA title for a major publisher". During his time at Codemasters he helped reboot the Dirt and Grid series.

Forza 4, from US developer Turn 10, is due out this autumn. It features Kinect support and will form a part of Microsoft's E3 presence.

At E3 Microsoft is also expected to announce a Halo 1 remake, rumoured to be built using the Halo: Reach engine by TimeShift maker Sabre Interactive and due out November 2011.

Microsoft is also expected to show off its Kinect Star Wars game, quietly in development at Ghostbusters: The Videogame creator Terminal Reality. This is due out Christmas 2011.

Microsoft told Eurogamer it "does not comment on rumour and speculation".
