News E3 2016

[sacka]

BOY OH BOY WOWEEEEEE its not long now until E3 hits LA once again, it's the handful of days of news and announcements that makes male gamers winky dinkeys tingle and Pantskyle moist like he was just at a Bieber concert.....AGAIN.
It's the one time a year we believe the graphics shown by that Ubisoft game will be the final product, only to see them downgrade on us in 2 years because..... well that's what Ubi does best.

Seriously we are a few weeks out and seeing a few details have hit lately it's time for the annual E3 thread, seems this year rumours are all about the new/upgraded current gen consoles by Sony and MS, also the huge Nintendo announ..... sorry scratch that, what we thought would be Nintendo announcing a new console but they said up yours gamers , here is some news on games instead that we cant really talk about, or show you how they look cause we cant show you the new console yet, so here is Zelda instead.

Bethesda are doing a showcase again this year and it must of been a hit because EA are following suite with one themselves called EA Play, EA will still have a conference but it will be off site and on the Sunday (Monday AEST) as they are trying to be more accessible to fans lol.
Ubi, Sony and MS will still do traditional E3 conference on the Monday (Tuesday AEST) and the PC gaming show is here again.

I will keep the op up to date with presser times and dates as they hit.
Also Monday June 13 is a public holiday this year (exc WA + QLD, lol losers) so There is no excuse not to see Bethesda and EA.

I dont know why Nintendo are even going if they are not taking the NX.

Interesting that Bethesda are showing up, maybe we'll see a new Elder Scrolls (or if very luck a Fallout Online).

Dishonored 2, Fallout 4 DLC demo, new Wolfenstein game from Machine Games. It might be too early for a main Elder Scrolls unless Bethesda works are a 2 team studio now.

You can probably add Doom dlc

Well they are going to need help selling that season pass. I have a feeling it could be this years Evolve.

 

[Premiers04]

I'm keen for another Wolfenstein game, make it happen Bethesda.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Not sure how Sony top their 2015 conference as the first half of that was lights out amazing.

I'm guessing they'll be showing PS4.5, GOW 4 along with last year's big names in Horizon, FFVII, TLG & maybe even a Shenmue III update.

Nintendo is a non event since they are hiding their goodies for a full NX reveal.

No idea what Microsoft will show either.

MS have console and controller upgrade rumours flying around. Interested to see some more on Recore and wanna see how crackdown is coming along.

Have given this a sticky now that we're just under two weeks away from E3.

Despite Rockstar never really bothering with E3 the Red Dead Redemption sequel (or Red Dead 3 as it's supposedly called) rumours just won't quit.

 

[aussiedude]

Ed Boon is teasing Injustice 2 again, and changed his his twitter pic to II. also rumors that WB Montreal will announce its Suicide Squad game at E3. i could see them both announced at Sony's conference since WB and DC have had a exclusive content deal with sony for the last few years.

 

[kangle4]

Nintendo have announced that they will be showing other games in particular Pokémon during their live treehouse segments.

What will it be this year, other then Wildlands

 

[The Big Sauce]

Watch Dogs 2 will be the leading candidate.

Well considering we haven't seen any wd2, and it's rumoured to be released this year or early next I would say they wouldn't have time to downgrade it lol

Never underestimate Ubisoft's willingness to try and dupe the audience.

I love R6 Seige but god damn that's a whole gen worthy downgrade. Watchdogs 2 is next for sure.

I had forgotten how different some of the games looked, like Far Cry 3/4, the Division and Rainbow 6 looked at E3. It will be interesting to see a live demo of what Wildlands looks like now and what it will look like at launch, it will most likely be things like environments and light effects that get scaled back.
Ubi are not the only ones who do it, but they do it the most and for every game.

 

[The Big Sauce]

Looks like Watch Dogs 2 will be revealed on Game Informer on Wednesday USA (so Thursday for us).

 

[LukasTheGreat]

Got any other news I don't give a shit about Sledge?

 

[The Big Sauce]

Well Bungie will be streaming Destiny news this week.
Dorne is still a thing.
Bulldogs still searching for a ruckman.

 

[aussiedude]

DC comics are announcing a new game on Friday.
