Only interested in Ubisoft this time for obvious reasons.
Luzcyfer
No F/%% way i watch that.

Actually there´s only 3 things that interest me , but not worth the time (Fuck you perception of the vg that should look in superhd and be like a movie with blood, they ruined me the funnie times); so i can wait.


The only thing i hope is nintendo change the name of the new bloody console; seriously wii u i s a reason for not buy it.......... And something about smash bros. i

P.S.: I know there will be something from sony's smash, i think i'll watch that stand-up comedy show.

Quite interested to see what Nintendo have (naturally)

Also want to see what Yoshida has to say about FFXIV and 2.0.
Doodley
Nintendo's going to dominate, no doubt about it. I'm not expecting anything specific, Nintendo is keeping it all on the down low (Wii U, new Retro Studios title, and that's just about it) while it's very clear what Sony's going to show (The Last of Us, LBP Racing, Sly Cooper, Sony Smash Bros.)

I believe what I'm looking forward to the most is a teaser for SSB4, though. Especially given that Sony will also be showing more of their Smash Bros. It shall be grand.
Mianki
Nintendo will be webcasting a special Wii U-centric edition of their Nintendo Direct online video series on Sunday, one that "focuses on the concept behind WiiU." It will air on Nintendo's Wii U Facebook page, 6pm ET, 3pm PT.
In 11 hours.

Here's also Top10 list for Microsoft

I'm guessing Sony's will come later.

E3 never excites me because the games they show there never have a release date of "like around next week"
friendok53
no interesting games this year meh

but Dishonored is being published by Bethesda i thought it was being made by them but apparently it's not the same cast as fallout , that game was the only one that i had some interest in this year until i got turned off by seeing it's not made by them but just pure publishing for marketing reasons :/

I want to see Microsoft failing again with their actors :D Childs are just so funny because they have no idea what's going on but they are cute enough :3

Oh no, fuck Mr. Caffiene. I don't care if he was so amazingly bad, shit made Ubisoft's conference unbearable. He better not return this year.

You can watch the Nintendo Pre E3 stream here if you missed it:

There's more parts, check the GT Movie Playlist on the right side of the page.

Edit: I want the Wii U so bad >.<
Dieathan
I like what I'm seeing from the Wii U so far.
The only thing that I find strange is the Wii U Gamepad Pro. Looks an awful lot like the 360 controller. At least the D-Pad is better.
RandomJibberish
All gamepad controllers look the same

Both control sticks being in the primary position is interesting though. Could make things more comfortable for first person games.

Social stuff on the Wii U is looking pretty cool too. Looks like Nintendo are finally getting their act together with the whole online thing

The think with the Wii U is that it's coming about 3 years too late. This stuff would have been impressive back in 2009/2010, and the hardware is clearly going to be sub-par as soon as MS and Sony launch the next gen. Still, I'm sure they will have some great games to sell it on.
Mianki
It's easier to develop games on that hardware than it will be on MS and Sony's next gen consoles.

But that only means it'll be full of shovel ware and the very occasional good game, mostly first party. They're letting history repeat itself.
mm201
Maybe I just got the wrong impression last time, but the controller screen seems smaller--sized more like a smartphone than a bad tablet. This is good and makes it seem less ridiculous. The playing without a TV thing is still a gimmick and will never see much use. I'd expect support on some launch titles and maybe some more first party things later.

As always, the first are the worst and they'll end up facing some extreme competition from technically superior Sony/Microsoft consoles a year or two later, repeating the whole cycle.

If there's one thing Nintendo needs to learn, it's to stop doing things on their own. They need to open up their systems to development by independents, and it should be at least as easy as iOS to develop for, if not easier.

Shovelware more often than not comes from big business *coughubisoftcough* trying to make a quick buck and milk their expensive developer licenses for all they're worth. Making development easier means more little guys trying their hardest, which leads to more unique, interesting titles.

Like always you can go ahead and look on #videogames for some commentary about each press conference. Microsoft starts in about a minute or so~ get hyped c:

Basically, MS was awful. Though they did have USHER, lol.

Honestly I wouldn't bother. It was a really poor show from MS this year.

NOTHING MATTERS ANYMORE, USHER WAS THERE AND HE WAS DANCING, THIS MEANS THIS IS THE BEST CONFERENCE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND NO ONE CAN MATCH THAT.





In all seriousness I found the Microsoft Conference to be meeeeeeeh could have been better.

Thank god they had usher there, how else would i find out about the all the new games they were announcing.

GET UP EVERYONE GET UP.

Yeah, and Ubisoft had Flo Rida, hahaha. Still, Ubisoft's show was actually pretty awesome, I'm very hyped for AC3, FC2 and the new game Watch Dogs.
Lesjuh
My thoughts so far. Microsoft disappoints - just some extra services and kinect games... and not a single word about a new console :/ (tomb raider and halo 4 were cool though). Electronic Arts disappointed too - Nothing new but MOH and DS3. Ubisoft was great - I'm excited for the Wii U exclusives Rayman, ZombiU and Watch Dogs.

Can't wait for Nintendo's Wii U conference!

....kill me now.
Aoriki
ZombiU Seems pretty interesting so far~ Along with Watch Dogs (Me and my boyfriend think its a cross between Heavy Rain and Grand Theft Auto)
I hope Nintendo can bring something worth my money.... + _ +d

Ubisoft >>>>> Sony > EA >>> Microsoft.

Could be worse, let's hope Nintendo will make up for it.

You are forgetting the trend; with zelda twilight ninty said "play it on gc like always, then play it in more interesting way, that's why we make this game waaaaaay easy and the next one will be awesome ;)" and smash brawl and pkmn battle revolution situation and probabbly star fox.

The same can be done with wii; finally i crack nintendo'splot: they we're playing chess, graphics don't matter and with wii they tested the response of a new way to control to fully use it on the next one after all graphics don't matter they're like movie effects and always improve by itself, it's reckless make that aspect the best asset of your product; that proves that sony/microsoft are souless (but still have good products but shallow).

I still and never will like the control; it's like a wii accesory but..... maybe wii u is the real version of wii which now looks like a beta poor version.

ON: I'm concerned about the sega games and the price: i assume it will be..... nintendover 9000!!!

Watched a few trailers today.
Spoiler for big list:
SPOILER
DmC's trailer looks interesting enough and while I'm not really a big fan of Dante's redesign, he still is the wise-cracking badass he usually is and I'm happy for that.
ACIII definitely seems impressive and I find the sea battles to be intriging enough to make me want to play it.
ZombiU's trailer kind of reminds me of UMVC3's opening if it were reskinned as Dead Island and I am looking forward to it.
KH3D feels a bit closer to the console games than re:coded but I don't think I'm going to like it as much as Birth By Sleep compared to the other spinoffs (JUST RELEASE KHIII ALREADY!).
Theatrhythm FF seems like an interesting game. Sure, the visuals may seem a bit too cutesy for its own good but as long as the gameplay is fun it shouldn't matter too much.
Watch Dogs certainly is something. But since there is no actual gameplay just yet, I would keep an eye on it for now.
RE6 makes me think that the series is starting to focusing more on the action than the survival horror aspect of the franchise but the game will be fun nonetheless.
MGR: Revengence seems much better to be focused on action rather than stealth since it was meant to be fast-paced. I'm glad Platnium Games picked up on its development.
DS3 looks interesting enough despite the fact I've never played the first 2 games. The idea of Co-Op sounds like something that could work well here.
That's really all I have to say with some of the trailers I've seen so far. Might post again when more trailers come out.

10 more minutes to Nintendo's press conference~
