I think Oculus VR kit (which comes with a XB1 controller and some other junk) is rumoured for about $400, no idea about the Oculus Touch controller.

The robot dinosaur sounded terrible but looked pretty good, and they can change the former more easily than the latter. Guerilla's track record is the underwhelming Killzone series though, is there reason to think they'll do a better job with this one?

I'll be astonished if it's out before 2016, but mildly surprised if it's not out by the endof 2016.

Imagine your smartphone could produce a 3D effect, like the 3DS or something. Now hold it out in front of your face as far as your arm will reach. That is pretty much the area within which Hololens can produce 3D effects, the area around the inner rectangle (the dark space) wouldn't have any sort of effects at all. No 3D or even a 2D overlay.

FFXV won't be at E3. They're saving it for Gamescom. So if anyone's in the thread's waiting for more FFXV info, well uh, don't. That's when the promotional campaign for the game will start off, so we should at least get a release window then.

Since when do devs care about gamescom ffs!

What's the most awkward moment for the show this year? I missed the Ubisoft presentation, but to me it's been the Oculus guy coming onstage at their event out of breath trying to hype the crowd.

Or maybe all the weird eye contact and the where-do-my-hands-go moments after the Best Buy World Championships were over.

Maybe it's just me, but the guy doing the No Man's Sky demo did a really loving lovely job of selling the game.

Doom 4 is awesome because it has fast gameplay, no space closets, and Snapmap Map Editor. It looks fun, but it is the King of Generic Shooters having invented the genre in the first place.

No, I'm Australian so I spell everything the correct way. So it's Dishonoured.

He claims he just picked a random solar system and planet without rehearsing at all but I don't know how true that is. The game still looks interesting to me though, I just hope the gameplay is actually fun outside of the procedurally generated universe gimmick.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the narration frequency was turned up just for the E3 demonstration so everyone could get a sense that the protagonist has ~character~ or something.

(At least, I hope so, because narration that frequent about mundane stuff would get really old, really quickly. Bastion narration this ain't.)

It was an improvement over the last time they tried it and were 100% roleplaying. That game has a long way to go, but it's still holding my attention. That forced meme cosplay actually made me look away from the screen until it was over, though. drat.

Anyway, if you ignore all of the show-related stuff and actually look at the games, Ubisoft did pretty well overall. Their Tom Clancy catalog looks better than has in years (Siege looks really cool and The Division has potential if it ever comes out), especially with the new Ghost Recon coming out of nowhere and potentially taking a page from Mercenaries.

And South Park!

That trailer should have just went and used Red Right Hand and the Hitman trailer should have used Karen O's cover of Immigrant Song because that was clearly inspired by the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trailer.

Yeah those all did looked fun. But man those game's politics seem to be getting even more disgusting instead of toning down like you expect with Clancy being dead.

The Square and Nintendo conferences overlap because they fuse into one at 1 pm EST. Suddenly, Geno burst through your screen and uses Geno Whirl, causing 9999 damage on your dog and blowing up your toaster. Confetti flies everywhere.
