You stupid fucks. You dumb stupid mother fucks, you're here again. It's here again, in just ONE week (WHAT THE gently caress!!!). What are we loving doing. We're mentally shattered people, kneeling in front of a dimly backlit laptop for our sensitive eyes, leaning against the body pillows of former anime waifus, waiting for awkward, sweaty businessmen to give us something to react to.

There's no cure for this condition, we're just terminally stupid as gently caress. One June's treasure is a later November's trash. Watch Dogs, Need for Speed The Run, Assassin's Creed Unity. If we learned from history, we wouldn't be here in this thread. So what terrible bullshit are us loving idiots going to get foolishly excited for this year??? Who knows, maybe if we're lucky... we'll get





But trainwrecks have diminishing returns, and either companies have grown wise, or they just hate me, because last year was boring as gently caress. Boy, last year.

LAST YEAR



The year was 2014. A chaotic NFL season ended in a night where Tom Brady blew a kiss and distracted Russell Wilson into throwing the Super Bowl. Anonymous gamedudes got really mad about a woman posting videos on a website that has 10,000 videos about cat farts uploaded every day. Breaking Bad ended and everyone said "oh." The gaming world talked about how Shadow of Mordor was a revolution in gaming for about two weeks and then forgot about it forever. Ray Rice juked his fiance into a coma. Every indie game was described as 2D Dark Souls, even the Putt Putt re-release.

Last June, Microsoft told us to get excited about all of their really incredible exclusive IP like....... Crackdown. And Phantom Dust. Oh woops, Phantom Dust imploded. And the Phantom Dust E3 trailer was made by a completely different studio, without the developers' knowledge. OH and it turns out Crackdown wasn't even a game yet and they were still looking for a developer. Then there was the Master Chief Collection, whose online was powered by the technology of drinking bird toys and spare K'nex, and launched about as well as your first attempt in Kerbel Space Program. Everything else was completely forgettable, except that Tomb Raider has a sequel that will be a timed Xbox One exclusive for 2015, which means... I'll be playing it in 2016.

Sony teased Vib Ribbon to be jerks, then they talked about some lovely superhero show they were making, but they also had some actual poo poo. Every indie game ever made was announced for PS4, and they showed off No Man's Sky, the game this jaded internet has already decided will be terrible (the opposite swing of the E3 pendulum). The biggest reaction came with the remaster of Grim Fandango, in a time period before Tim Schafter became better known as video game satan.

Nintendo opened with Iwata Dragonball Z, then revealed their brand new squid-powered IP Splatoon, which has probably already sparked a brony-esque cult, and concluded with hours and hours of live gameplay from the Treehouse developers doing their best human being impression. They had really cute fuckin stuff, but they also had Link running around in an empty field with no gameplay. ASTOUNDINGLY, Zelda was delayed to 2016. They also owned the gently caress out of your stupid wallet with their Amiibo toys for little children, which to date have been purchased primarily by 40 year olds and eBay resellers.

Electronic Arts wanted to let you know that they had so many cool things that they just couldn't show you. Here's Mirror's Edge 2, in a cube room with developer textures, here's the Mass Effect developers to talk about how the next game is gonna be totally great whenever they start working on it. Here's Battlefield Hardlines, it's total poo poo but you'll buy it because of the name, now here's what celebrities have to say about soccer!! Wait a minute, Criterion's doing something, uh there's an ATV and a helicopter, gently caress it we don't know, we don't have a name, actually there's no game at all yet, uh bye!!

Ubisoft's was.... E3 AS gently caress. THEY GET IT



Aside from that, if E3 2014 is a dull blur to you, its because there wasn't much excitement. You may have forgotten all the MOBAs and F2P games that got brought up last year. Because no one gives a gently caress about those anymore. Remember Dawngate? Of course you don't. It was a MOBA game EA spent 10% of their E3 conference talking about. Why haven't you heard about it since? Because it shut down just 5 months later in November 2014. Some years you get a bunch of really terrible games hyped at you, some years you get a bunch of vaporware, and last year was a vape year.

THIS YEAR

I dunno, what even is video gaming now. It's all indies. E3 is almost like a reminder that AAA studios even still exist. What will be the first E3 reveal to have a Kickstarter? Everyone has some VR bullshit in the works nowadays, will we get people flopping around with a visor on their face? (because last year we didn't and that was some bullshit!!!) Guitar games are back, because studios needed SOME sort of IP to reboot. Which means awkward live presentations of nerds playing plastic guitars and celebrity cameos of your dad's favorite bands.

This is going to be year 3 of the new generation right? Isn't it about time for there to be, like, some actual games to play? And not just loving HD remasters of the same poo poo you already played a couple of years ago?

Kojima has essentially been kicked the gently caress out of Konami, and Konami has played hacky-sack with his name, juggling it off and on his games. Is Silent Hills dead? Who knows. Will Kojima even be allowed on stage at E3 this year? Is it all just a publicity stunt? This is the same Konami that brought LUCHADORS to E3, so.. I don't think they're that smart??

Already Happened

Level 5 Vision 2015

An E3-quality presentation of titanically bad proportions, Level 5 buried every franchise their fans loved into the ground, and then announced three thousand Yokai Watch games. The presentation had MULTIPLE lip synced jpop performances, including these guys:



Layton is a card game now. Fantasy Life 2 is farmville now. And they're both phone apps. No Dragon Quest, no Dark Cloud, just Yokai Watch, Yokai Watch, Yokai Watch. Including actual PHYSICAL yokai watches. Also they have a game coming out called SNACK WORLD, and I only mention that because I really like typing SNACK WORLD.

Nintendo: Xenoblade X Direct

Nintendo showed off 70+ minutes of Xenoblade X, and renamed the giant robots from Dolls to Skells, because perhaps Dolls was too on-the-nose for sensitive American nerds to handle. THEY'RE NOT DOLLS MOM THEY'RE SKELLS!!! THEY'RE REALLY COOL OKAY SHUT UP!!

Call of Duty Reveal

Black Ops 3 is this year's tour. The game apparently brings back the jetpacks from Advanced Warfare. The trailer was typical Call of Duty theatrics. You'll see way too much of this game at E3.

Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed World Premiere Live Stream



Apple WWDC 15

The revolutionary new Apple Music: you can listen to music!! No wait, but it has radio! There's never been radio on the internet before!!

Oculus Rift



The Oculus Rift is bundled with an Xbox One controller for no reason, Phil Spencer jerked off about Windows 10 for 15 minutes, then showed this absolutely baffling video of Rift on Xbox One footage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5kI4NuM33E

A good start to the E3 season

Smash Bros Pre-E3 Direct

Ryu got added to Smash, exciting Smash Bros fans everywhere, who cant wait to ban him from tournaments.

Nintendo World Championships 2015

A bunch of speedrunner nerds played video games and then Nintendo kaizo marioed the final two into humiliation. Cosmo was never heard from again.

Bethesda

In the world of DOOM 2016, everything is covered in piss. In Dishonored 2 you can play as Emily Caldwyn who is an adult now, or Corvo, who is probably like 85 years old. Also there's a Dishonored Remaster, because a game that came out a year and a half ago needs a remaster for some reason. Fallout 4 looks improved over Fallout 3/NV in almost every way, which is to say it's gone from a 5 out of 10 to a 7 out of 10. Progress!!

Microsoft

Microsoft is bringing Early Access to consoles, because what Xbox needs is more projects that get announced and then never completed. Let's talk about Scalebound! Woops it's not here. How about Quantum Break? Woops it's not here. Hey, Crackdown right? Woops it's not here. But hey, Halo! You kids love the Halo! You can play Minecraft on your coffee table! Now you can pinch at the air over and over until it recognizes your gesture instead of using a mouse and keyboard like a normal person.

EA 2015: Live To Play

After last year's "do homework in study hall" presentation, EA brought some actual games to E3. They weren't, like, super exciting games. With Garden Warfare 2 and Minions Paradise, EA looked at Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids series from years ago and thought "hm, people must have loved this obnoxious stupid poo poo, let's go all in." Mirror's Edge Catalyst has NO GUNS IN IT. WHAT!!

Ubisoft

There was no fitness game this year what the gently caress. At least some musician I've never heard of wasted everyone's time for 5 minutes to demonstrate Just Dance. There wasn't even any dancing during this segment, it was just.. a song. The Division now looks like an Xbox 360 game. Assassin's Creed Syndicate is apparently going to have some sort of Sherlock Holmes DLC, because Holmes definitely seemed like someone who would give any kind of poo poo about templars. There was a guy with a sword cane, and Aisha Tyler hit on a cosplayer. It was weird. Beyond Good & Evil 2 was cancelled by the way.

Sony

This was the fanfiction portion of E3, with the return of The Last Guardian, Shenmue, and the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Of course, Shenmue is a kickstarter, Final Fantasy 7 hasn't begun production, and The Last Guardian seems about as completed as it did 5 years ago, but at least we were pandered to. Call of Duty is now associated with Sony? Is this a thing that matters to anyone? The Uncharted 4 player fell asleep before the demo, which wasn't supposed to happen until during the demo.

Nintendo E3 Digital Event 2015

Amiibos got talked a lot. They have reached mythical status, in the sense that no one has ever seen them in the wild. Like fairies. Unfortunately there was no Metroid game shown this year. Not one Metroid. They didn't have one. So let's not talk about it. But they did have an online co-op Zelda game, a crossover of Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario, a Star Fox game made by Platinum which everyone wanted for years and now everyone wants to bitch about, and most importantly, SMTxFE, The Most Anime Game at The Show, which is important for all that otaku money. Hyperdimension Neptunia looks like Baldur's Gate compared to SMTxFE.

Square Enix



PC Gamer Presents: The PC Gaming Show (5 PM PDT/8 PM ET)

This was... okay. I love E3 for trainwrecks. This was a trainwreck in the worst way imaginable. There hasn't been an event this boring and bad since Activision let Jamie Kennedy host a panel in 2007. It was SO. BAD. AMD had two different segments in which they bragged about video cards for 10 minutes. They had a loving video card in a suitcase. Half of the games shown were MOBAs or Free 2 Play. Phil Spencer came out and said "uhh yeah sure Microsoft is all about PC gamers ha ha yeah we'll get right on that." This show ran for 2 and a half hours but had only two world exclusive trailers. You may read this paragraph and think "wow sounds hilarious I gotta watch this" DO THIS AT YOUR OWN PERIL. I am not responsible for any bodily harm caused.

???

Horizon Indie Conference

Unless Horizon is holding their conference in secret, which would be Indie as gently caress, it looks like it's not happening this week. That doesn't mean it won't happen later in the year, but it's not happening for now.

WHERE TO WATCH

Twitch is the official partner of E3, not only providing coverage of every press conference, but also providing their own incredibly inept live coverage. What I saw last year involved a lot of bad haircuts.

DORITOMAN LIVES. Youtube is doing a 12 hour show on June 15th with Geoff Keighley, covering (presumably) Microsoft through Sony. This should have all the usual stuff you expect: stage demos, industry chat with that bald guy from kotaku, interviews with developers, Geoff wearing sunglasses, etc. No giraffes, however.

IGN and Gamespot will also be at the show, with live stage demos throughout the show. There should also be a Giant Bomb stream, as well as Jeff's audio stream of his drive to LA, and the nightly shows. There's a lot of choices for both watching the conferences, seeing gameplay demos, and getting reactions.

THE GAMES OF E3 (from IGN)

Assassin's Creed Victory (XB1/PS4/PC) - Ubisoft
This year's Ubisoft Open-World Ubisoft takes place in Victorian London (GET IT??? VICTORY??? WOW). I can't wait to find out whether Jack the Ripper is an assassin or a templar. Will there be steampunk poo poo? Will everyone sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins?

Call of Duty Black Ops III (XB1/PS4/PC) - Activision
Much like Advanced Warfare, it's the future and everyone's superpowered and who cares.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (XB1/PS4/PC) - Square Enix
Sequel to Human Revolution, which was pretty sweet except for the stupid loving bosses. They say the bosses this time will have more stealth/combat routes, which is an improvement over the amount of stealth routes in the original game at launch (zero).

Tom Clancy's The Division (XB1/PS4/PC) - EA
This is the third time The Division has been at E3, which can't be a GREAT sign. Wasn't that also the case for Watch Dogs? And it looked worse each year?

Fable Legends (XB1) - Microsoft/Lionhead
Some stupid F2P bullshit. I'm not sure the Fable brand has any meaning anymore.

Fallout 4 - Bethesda
The return of the beloved franchise that is shackled to the worst game engines and combat systems imaginable!

Fire Emblem #if (3DS) - Intelligent Systems
Announced at last year's E3, shown off some more just last month, apparently they Pokemonned this poo poo into two separate games, with a third DLC campaign.

Forza 6 (XB1)

Gears of War 4 (XB1) - Black Tusk
Last year we got some concept art, this year we should see the actual game. Will there be colors in this new generation, or have they found even more shades of gray and brown to squeeze in?

Guitar Hero (XB1/PS4)
The new Guitar Hero is not compatible with your old songs or guitar peripherals, and the visuals are literally just FMV like some kind of Sega CD game. Effort

Halo 5: Guardians (XB1)
Microsoft is likely pinning the entire fate of the Xbox brand on this game, so it's gonna get a lot of coverage at E3 this year. There's gonna be a loving TV show and everything.

Just Cause 3 (XB1/PS4/PC) - Square-Enix
News of this initially surfaced a few months ago with some leaked pics suggesting tons of micro-transactions. Let's hope the second impression is better.

Kingdom Hearts III (XB1/PS4) - Square-Enix
If Kingdom Hearts' story was relayed to you in the style of the Star Wars opening teleprompt, it would last the entirety of A New Hope through Revenge of the Jedi. I
think it's in Unreal Engine 3? So it has an outside chance of being the first Kingdom Hearts to appear on Steam, and no, I don't think Square gives a gently caress whether newcomers
have ANY loving CLUE what's going on.

Mad Max (XB1/PS4/PC)

Mario Maker (Wii U) - Nintendo EAD
The first thing anyone does in a level editor is make Mario 1-1, so what the gently caress will they do in Mario Maker? Existential crisis? Since its initial announcement they've added tilesets for SMB3 and Super Mario World, but no word on whether they've increased level size restrictions.

Mass Effect 4 (XB1/PS4/PC) - Bioware
This seems to be the start of a brand new trilogy, divorced from the events of the first 3 games but in the same universe? I guess a universe is pretty drat big.

Metal Gear Solid 5 (XB1/X360/PS3/PS4/PC) - Konami
As stated above, something about this game caused Konami to sever ties with the only creative person in their entire building, so this will likely be the game with the most intrigue of the show.

Minecraft Story Mode: a Telltale Series (XB1/X360/PS3/PS4/iOS/Android) - Telltale
Perhaps you thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. Telltale really is making a Minecraft series.

Mirror's Edge 2 (XB1/PS4/PC) - EA
Early rumors suggest the game is going in an open-world direction, perhaps because that's the only thing the industry knows how to design anymore. Also, improved combat? Personally I think the best improvement to Mirror's Edge combat would be to remove it entirely, but that's just me.

No Man's Sky (PS4/PC) - Hellogames
The most ambitious game of, well, any year you place it in. No Man's Sky could literally cause an eternal orgasm and it still wouldn't live up to the hype it's generated.

Persona 5 (PS3/PS4) - Atlus
Even looking at this sentence has increased your love for anime. Sorry, you're an anime now. It's too late.

Quantum Break (XB1) - Remedy
The combination live-action/video game has come and gone each year leaving everyone wondering "what the gently caress is it". Well, the game isn't even coming out in 2015, so continue to wonder. Remedy does not know how to hit deadlines.

Rise of the Tomb Raider (XB1/X360)
A timed exclusive for Xbox, the sequel to the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot will theoretically have less George of the Jungle slapstick, but who knows. Maybe Lara will have her eye impaled but she wipes off the eyeball puts it back in and she's fine.

Rock Band (XB1/PS4)

Scalebound (XB1) - Platinum
All we got last year was a CG trailer of a guy fighting dragons. Nothing since. Could be vaporware, could be the next crazy rear end action game of the year.

SMT x Fire Emblem (Wii U) - Atlus
Atlus managed to make SMT even more anime than Persona somehow, and Fire Emblem's brand is being taken along for the ride.

Star Fox (Wii U) - Nintendo
An IP revival that has everyone excited, but BE WARNED, there have been rumors of Star Fox being an episodic series, and some of the prototype games shown last year (Project GUARD, for example) were rumored to be Star Fox-related. It may not be the game you want it to be, but then no Star Fox game has been in 20 years now.

Star Wars Battlefront (PS4/XB1/PC)
We got a look at this last week, it looks very nice, but it's DICE, and it's DICE multiplayer, so. Optimism is reserved here.

Titanfall 2 (PS4/XB1/PC)
Whether Titanfall 2 is going to be any good is not as interesting as the fact that it has gone multiplatform.

Uncharted 4 (PS4)
All we got last year was a CG trailer, and some project leads have left Naughty Dog since, but this is likely to be the cornerstone of Sony's telecast, since they don't have any Guardians or Agents up their sleeve. They don't, just stop. Stop believing.

Untitled Telltale/Marvel Collaboration (TBA)
Just announced literally today, Telltale and Marvel are collaborating on a game series for 2017. We won't see any actual gameplay this year but we might get an idea of what properties are going to be involved.

XCOM 2 (PC) - Firaxis I'm pretty sure this is the 10th or 11th XCOM game but whatever fine it's XCOM 2. I guess the aliens won and you have to overthrow them or something. Just do whatever the US did to get Sepp Blatter out of FIFA.

Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U)
Nintendo's big 2015 game (since Zelda was pushed into 2016). You can pilot giant robots, there's giant regions, everyone has creepy doll faces.

Yoshi's Wooly World (Wii U)
Probably the cutest loving game ever made. It's against the law to dislike this.

Phil Spencer says this E3 will be focused on EXCLUSIVE IPs and first party titles. Which is what last year's E3 conference claimed to be about, and that didn't work out super great for them. Turns out announcing games that aren't remotely ready to be announced is not the best business strategy. One thing's for sure, Call of Duty and Master Chief!! And this year, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GAMERS (TM).

Historically, E3 has been the source of all super huge announcements, but it's gotten really hard for companies to keep every lip sealed. One of Nintendo's big reveals last year was Mario Maker, which got leaked really early when someone took photos of their booth in construction. It's just too easy to get that info to the internet.

That's why last year, some games got announced in May and then showed trailers at E3 in June, so that publishers could beat the leakers to the punch.

As far as I know, the only reason why people actually GO to E3 is to get to play the games, but more and more games have been kept behind closed doors in recent years. I think that the fanboys who have started hooting at hollering at the press conferences are superfans that got free tickets from Microsoft/Sony/Ubisoft/EA to sit up front and get picked up by the mics. This led to a really weird moment last year when EA started talking about The Sims 4 and suddenly there was really loud shrieking.

Nintendo has tried to give people as much of a reason NOT to physically attend, with their week-long Treehouse stream, and EA and Bungie had playable betas of their games that went live during E3. So I guess there's less and less incentive to go unless you're in the press, and even if you are, there's almost a redundancy to it? Because everyone can see what's going on, it's all streamed to the internet now.

SpikeTV has given less and less of a gently caress about E3, as we all should be, and their coverage has shrunk down to just one day, running from a hour before Microsoft's conference to the end of Sony's conference. The Doritomann is still around, as well as a bunch of people I dont know but always show up, like afro guy, and wacky guy in suit, and GAMERDAD Pachter. Last year, Jack Tretton was a guest host. The real treasure was when Peter Molyneux was a guest host several years ago and waxed philosophically about just about everything and then jerked off about his Curiosity Cube project.

I would be shocked if Spike hosted anything about E3 this year. GTTV is dead and Gametrailers was sold off from Viacom to some online-only media network.

That would stink if no one had TV coverage this year. Online streams almost always goes to poo poo during E3 presentations.

I think that Geoff Keighley and his connections will make something happen, even if it's online-only. That guy managed to get his own awards show created from scratch. But yeah, I doubt there will be any kind of Gametrailers branding if there is anything, so no more looping ads for FINAL BOSSMAN or whatever the gently caress.

For the first time ever, Bethesda has rented out a theater to talk video games at E3, and they've decided to get out in front of everybody and be the first. Bethesda is known for poorly tested role playing games, and more recently taking a 40% cut of Skyrim mods & patches they didn't even work on, but they're also known for publishing much better games from other developers, like Dishonored and Wolfenstein: The New Order. Sequels? Probably yes! New Elder Scrolls? Why not. Gamebryo engine? They'll claim it isn't, but yes. I can't wait to see a stage demo in Gamebryo. ANYTHING could happen.


Just like your post, Bethesda will not mention Fallout 4.

In their E3 invite splash, they had a bunch of characters from their games sitting in seats of the theater, and there was no Fallout character, so. yeah

Holy poo poo I forgot all about this. They haven't even straightened out the Beta that was tied to Wolfenstein New Order first pressings a year ago.

They showed that "gameplay footage" behind closed doors which apparently was just Brutal Doom in a modern engine, but who the gently caress knows how far its come since then
