E3 DAY ZERO SCHEDULE:

EA @ EA Play 2016 (1 PM PT/4 PM ET)
Publisher livestream: http://www.ea.com/play2016

EA is not even at E3 proper this year, opting for a separate venue, perhaps because EA has fewer titles slated for 2016 than Nintendo. No Dragon Age to have a violinist dance around in front of, no Dead Space sequel to ruin further. Is Medal of Honor dead? Will there ever be a Battlefield Bad Company 3? Just how many Star Wars games are they making right now?

After the conference there is expected to be a 64-player Battlefield 1 match, much like Battlefield Hardline was demoed after EA's conference in 2014. Will it be on a rooftop? Will it be interesting at all to watch?

Confirmed: Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, Mass Effect Andromeda, SPOOOOOOOOOORTS
Predictions: Visceral's Star Wars project, Sims 4 DLC, MORE MINIONS GAMES
Unlikely: Any of this poo poo coming to Steam

Bethesda (7 PM PT/10 PM ET)
Publisher livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda

Last year, Bethesda had a reason to have their first very own stage show; the first real look at Fallout 4, a new DOOM, a new Dishonored. This year... uhhh. DLC?? Will this be a stage show about DLC?? Maybe there will be a new Wolfenstein. Or maybe there will just be a lot of DLC instead.

Confirmed: Dishonored 2 is the only known confirmation to this point.
Predictions: New Wolfenstein, Fallout 4 DLC, Doom DLC, Elder Scrolls Online DLC, at least 5 minutes talking about the Bethesda.net service
Unlikely: Battlecry

Kadokawa Games (9:30 PM PT/12:30 AM ET)

I'm not sure if this one is even being streamed, it's a Japanese publisher doing an E3 conference in Tokyo. Expect lots of otaku games as the company is largely a Vita publisher. So uhh the odds of these games even coming to North America is pretty uh... look, hope springs eternal I guess.

WHERE TO WATCH

Aside from the above links, Twitch is the official partner of E3: http://www.twitch.tv/e3

I'm not sure how many other sites will cover Day 0, but as for the rest of the week, Youtube (hosted by Geoff Keighley) will be live all Monday long, and Gamespot and IGN will also have streams later this week from the show.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Really excited to see some of that cutting-edge barrel exploding technology finally take center stage in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I love this week. It's such a non-stop, unmitigated poo poo show of the worst parts of nerd culture, journalists trying to be weekday morning talk show hosta for entire days straight, and the greatest collection of to-be-disappointments for the rest of the year. It fuels my jaded, cynical heart for weeks.

Bethesda should be cool since they've become way better at publishing games than making them. Lol if Skyrim HD is a thing tho. I wonder if they'll finally cop to euthanizing Battlecry.

Nah we'll get a Battlecry trailer today for a beta next month and it'll be complete garbage.

I'm curious what will be unveiled in the new Mass Effect today because everything about its production under the hood have made it seem like a total disaster. They'll probably just throw in some cutscenes of a krogan smashing stuff in Frostbite to get the Bioware nerds suitably hype though.

Before he quit midway through production ME: Andromeda's project leader was also the PL on Halo 4, so we know we'll get a story at least half as good as Halo 4.

I hope we get to hear Corvo speak if we get a new trailer tonight. I am so excited that they got the guy who voiced Garrett in the Thief trilogy to do it, his voice acting is absolutely top-notch and part of what made Thief have such a great atmosphere.

the only shows worth watching:
PC Gaming Show so we can maybe have nvidia wave the 1080's in front of us more, Sony to talk about all the Crash Bandicoot we won't be getting, and Ubisoft for the E3 AS gently caress conference they usually do

The PC Gaming Show is sponsored by AMD, so you probably won't see any Nvidia stuff.

I dunno, Microsofts mystifying hololens show last year was worth it. I'll be checking them out this year too.

Reminder that there is no substantial evidence of a sequel to The Evil Within existing because the article that spawned the rumor said literally only this

quote:

The Evil Within 2 we haven't heard anything notable about although a sequel is generally expected - the first game being one that went down well.

but boy that doesn't stop me from hoping anyway. So if you are a big ol weirdo like me and want a sequel to that game, tailor your expectations.

I got mad as heck at last year's footage of Doom 2016, and then the game turned out to actually be really good, but like hell I'm going to let that stop me from getting mad again at whatever is shown on-stage tonight. Getting angry and exasperated at E3 conferences is a time-honored tradition!
