So I've heard both that Microsofts conference will be 2 hours and that it will only be 45 min. Which is it?

It's confusing as hell.

Twitch's schedule lists it as 45 minutes, which is shockingly short for a main console presentation. If you go to Microsoft's E3 briefing site there's an option to add it to your Windows Calendar, and if you do that you get a 2 hour event added.



I guess it's fitting that a briefing that has no known games going into it has no proper time frame given!

p sure Twitch also claims Nintendo's is 45 too so I'm not sure how accurate they are.

Remember Nintendo doesn't do a stage show, but a slickly-edited thing that doesn't have to wait for canned applause or for the prototype car to lower to the stage, which cuts down on how long it is.

If you do this in-game you get a trophy called "Stage fright".

Also it was pretty wild to see some on-stage "live" footage turn out to be not pre-rendered.

Best thing they could've done. Short punchy skits followed by awesome trailers and prerecorded announcements and then Treehouse stuff to go in depth and show how complete the games are were the absolute best way to go

Yeah I think after the initial "haha it's busted live on stage" I think people were like "but I appreciated that it was obviously real gameplay."

I always loved that aesthetic and even bought the books that go with it, but would have preferred it in more of a "the future technology is just there alongside the old" rather than this which seems to mostly have the future technology as antagonists and aggressors. Could still be interesting, though.

Atlus announced their 2 new E3 games and unsurprisingly they're just the Persona 3 and Persona 5 dancing games. Shockingly they're also localizing the Vita versions so the Vita will continue to lurch in its eternal undeath for another year.

The Microsoft presser can always be padded with more Minecraft.

Last year they kept the segment to under four minutes with just a small trailer and Phil talking about the 4K update.

But they can always stretch those segments out longer like the 2016 one with Carmack.

Is there even a single person in the world who is excited for this game?

Like I just don't understand how people can still make zombie games nowadays and still choose to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW OR INTERESTING with them. The premise of a zombie game is already completely outdated and boring. If you, for some reason, HAVE to do something with zombies, you need to do something new.

Literally nothing in that trailer shows that they are doing anything interesting or new with the concept. I am totally baffled

Microsoft is rumored to have a presence at Nintendo's direct.

Maybe they'll show off a Minecraft stage/steve/Banjo/whatever in Smash during Microsoft's conference?

It looks like the perfect game to get next year when it's yeah like 60% off in a flash sale and it got a couple DLC updates and hey they patched out some bugs too! Other than that uhhhhh I'm sure someone wants this???? Sound off Days Gone Wanters!

The original leak seems cool because it has stuff that people might not predict that is seemingly provable now, it's funny that the additional pages are almost all stuff that we already know and would be easier to fake (and is even blurrier?)

lol it's funny how the additional pages are photographed so they hide the corner of the paper that was covered up in the original, almost like a bad edit.

DQ11 playable on Switch, in English, would actually be some megaton announcement poo poo. It only recently got a September western release date for PC and PS4 and the Switch version still hasn't come out in Japan -- all Square-Enid has said is that it could potentially release "much later" and definitely not in 2018. I agree that the second leak is probably fake though r

It's made by the Bubsy 3D team, so uninspired is their bread and butter.
