E3 2016 Thread

[Otaking]

E3 2016, what are you hoping to see announced? What are your predictions?

Personally I don't have much interest in playing modern consoles like the PS4 or XBone (or even PS3 or Xbox 360) but for some reason each year I always enjoy and get caught up in all the hype and excitement of E3.

I have two daughters who are 5 and 9 and they are Nintendo crazy. They have the New 3DS, 3DS, DS, Wii U and Wii consoles with tons of games, so through playing games with them I guess I'm kind of up to date with what's been going on with Nintendo. If I didn't have young kids I doubt I would of played these consoles/games. Other than Nintendo on the rare ocassion I play modern games it's on PC and iPad mostly.

Agreed.

Is E3 still around? I thought it was retired 7.45 years ago.

As far as I'm aware for the past 5 years it's been bigger than it's ever been?? Most console gaming companies wait till E3 to unveil their latest game or next console and spend big bucks on lavish presentations.

Last years biggest announcements were Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy VII remake and The Last Guardian.

last guardian going on 10 years.

I'm excited about the XSEED announcement to bring out the new Shantae game in a physical bundle for PS4, Vita, and WiiU.  Will be fun to play.

I could not possibly give a shit less.

Outside of Zelda, this exactly how I feel...

Ps4/xbone do nothing for me, and VR is a sham...

Hopefully NX is something refreshing, but that's a ways off it seems.

I used to feel the same. Don't get me wrong I'm firmly in the wii u camp for outright game fun. But I'd been holding off on entering either Xbone or ps4 territory for various reasons. I plumped for PS4 as I got a deal couple weeks ago for 3 almost free games and I'm not disappointed. Uncharted 4 is magnificent. Enthralling and a joy to the eyes. First "mainstream " game I've enjoyed for quite some time. Nothing on xbone excites me atm though.

NX is being released in March 2017 apparently. I heard that Nintendo are claiming it's not a replacement for the Wii U but a completely different way of playing, whatever that means.

Oh I know the date, but them not showing it at E3 is just strange, but Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

[Joe Redifer]

Maybe Tom Kalinske will get up on stage and announce that a new Sega console is now on sale in stores everywhere. Well except Kay Bee. Because they suck.

[bartre]

a buddy is taking some time off and we're gonna be playing 2 days worth of the E3 drinking game.
god help us.



There's special cards for each of the shows at that site.

Much like how Nintendo claimed "The DS is not a GBA replacement, it's one of the 3 pillars of Nintendo gaming" and then canned the GBA like a year later, the NX is absolutely the replacement for the Wii U.

Not really excited for E3 at all this year. Looking forward to KOF 14 stuff, although i played it last weekend. Curious about Star Ocean, but i know it wont be like Star Ocean 2, so not sure why i care.
