The Official E3 2012 Thread For Great Justice
 

It's here again gang! We're just a week away from E3 2012 and a ton of new game info! The Wii U is gonna be blown out, MS and Sony will probably ignore the inevitable new console announcement and we'll probably laugh and cry at more poorly produced press conferences!

Pre-show press conference times:

Monday June 4th
Microsoft - 9:30 AM
EA - 1:00 PM
Ubisoft - 3:00 PM
Sony - 6:00 PM

Tuesday June 5th
Nintendo - 9:00 AM

And of course once the show starts rolling around I'm sure we'll have a lot of members dropping info, videos and screens so that we can all keep up to date. Now, the meat of the discussion. What's everyone looking forward to? Predictions?

More Kinect and Killzone please.

I guess that's it, for now.

I'm looking forward to Wii U stuff. Above all else, I want it to have a good online structure. Like I've told my dawgz, I would not mind at all paying for one as long as it meant it was great.

Pretty much this.

Are all the press conferences being aired on G4 or will Microsfts be on SPIKE again?

I'm not sure that G4 will be carrying everything again this year, but the big three have taken care of things themselves this year. Nintendo and Sony will both be live streaming theirs through official websites. I'm not sure if Microsoft will be on Spike again, but I do know they're live streaming the conference on Live.

Since I'm working, I'll be expecting frequent text updates from Peanut, Stryker and Cure.

Also, why the **** would they waste E3 time for DLC to a game that came out months ago---DLC which we've already gotten info on? DAMNIT TURO.

I'm not particularly interested in anything this year, sad to say. I'll watch the big three like usual, though. Sh*t is so hype every year, even when we know nothing good is being shown.

I am most interested in the Wii U, I like all the uses is has and Nintendo has had great titles recently. I unfortunately dont have a Wii so I think I will b getting a Wii U....Also Halo 4, welcome back MasterChief :D
Oh and Assassin's Creed 3

I'm with you. I sure there might be one or two things that I'll get excited about, but we will see once E3 comes around.

Because there's always the chance! WE CAN DREAM!

Just like every year I'm going to hope and pray that Rare is allowed to do something with their existing properties that isn't complete sh*t, even though I know that pipe dream gets less and less likely every year I say it.

It's something I'd like to see, but not sure will happen, hence the question mark. And last I checked, Capcom has mentioned possible DLC in a magazine recently. Also, so what if it came out months ago? Is Batman Arkham City not receiving DLC? A game that released months before RE:Revelations. I especially want DLC because I found something odd about the game, which was Rachel. They had a whole trailer dedicated to her, and none of what was seen there ever happened in the game. I also remember seeing gameplay footage of her, which is odd.

Yeah, it's a damn shame Rare went to ****. I recently found myself interested in Conker's Bad Fur Day and it would be cool for Microsoft to expand a bit.

I'm mainly excited for Nintendo's conference this year, given that we might get new info on Smash Bros and Luigi's Mansion. One of my favorite parts of E3 is the occasional surprise, so if Atlus decides to reveal Persona 5 at some point, or if we got more information on Final Fantasy Versus XIII or Kingdom Hearts III from Square Enix, that would certainly be interesting. I can only hope E3 will be great this year.

The only way they can make me excited about Kingdom Hearts 3 is if they guarantee that it'll be more Disney and less Square sh*t.

What always cracked me up about Kingdom Hearts was the imbalance of stages between the two companies. Mostly Disney, no Square. It was like they were embarrassed. And they should be!

got that email from Nintendo. might try to catch theirs online. Sony's also, I know they do theirs in HOME, might be interesting to catch it there.

I'm on holidays all next week so i'll be keeping tabs on everything! i don't wanna miss a single big release or any announcements/surprises that there may be

I don't know that E3 would be the venue for a Persona 5 announcement. Atlus has a history of letting NA game releases hang long after Japanese announcements. P4 Golden just got announced for a NA release a couple weeks ago, but the game was announced last summer for Japan and hits there I think in the next two weeks.

What kind of stage could they have actually made for Square though? They've got huge field from generic fantasy world or back alley from generic steam punk future world.

They could have Midgar, right?! That's original and not steam punky at all!

Also, Lain. lolololz

You actually made me look and see if someone changed my name. ROALZ

Splinter Cell: Blacklist! **** yeah!!!

If its like Conviction, I'm in. If its like any other Splinter Cell? No thanks.

Not an old school SC guy? I sort of felt that the franchise lost its sense of stealth, though stealth wasn't really that hard to achieve in those games, anyway.

Anyone remember that spy vs. spy multiplayer mode that they implemented into the games, and then randomly removed at one point? That made me sad.

I think the trial and error stealth genre took a bullet for a reason. That sh*t just isn't fun anymore and I'm gonna go ahead and say wasn't fun almost immediately. It got to a point where you'd save, mess around a few times until you figure out the general layout and enemy pattern of an area and then reload and go for a good run, reloading and saving as necessary. That just isn't fun.

I still think Conviction is the best Splinter Cell since the first game in the series. The stealth aspect is still there, but it's snappier. The faster pace makes sneaking around and taking dudes out way more fun than just waiting around a corner for 30 seconds while a dude slowly makes his way towards you.

Like Brodie said, Conviction style SC or I couldn't care less.

so from what i can see, Spike's airing allot of E3 coverage on Monday and Tuesday and G4 ain't airing nothing.

New Gears of War title? Well, this was unexpected...

Looking forward to Ryse from Crytek.

Turo I freaken love you!!!!

Unexpected? It was pretty much already announced three different times.

I hate that they're doing this sh*t AGAIN this year, though. Dead Space 3, new Gears, Skyrim: Dawnguard reveal, new DC fighter from NetherRealm, Star Wars 1313, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Shin Megami Tensei 4. Everything is getting blown way ahead yet again. Super f*cking annoying. Looks like another E3 where sh*t all happens we haven't already heard of. Nintendo is the only one with anything still under wraps.

Well duh, a new Gears was inevitable... But really? An announcement? This soon? The Gears of War trilogy wrapped up perfectly this gen. I was expecting another title for next generation. A prequel most likely. Maybe Microsoft has something up their sleeve for E3, after all.

I'm looking forward the most to the Wii U and I'm not even that excited about the Wii U, in fact I'm pretty disappointed that it's only a souped up version of current gen I was hoping something more along the lines of 360.5/PS3.5 instead of the .1 upgrade we're getting. Still I love Nintendo games and I'll have a blast with the console no matter how much third party support it gets.

As far as the other consoles, I'm just tired of current gen, all we're getting is sequels of stuff we've already played. It would really take something revolutionary/new/shocking to keep me interested but I don't see it happening sadly.

Very cool!

Again, it was already announced, just not the specifics. Someone at Epic, maybe Mark Rein, said they were working on a "new gears experience" before 3 even came out. There was some speculation it was a Kinect game and some speculation that People Can Fly was behind it.

Gears of War Exile, I knew about, but that has been canceled for a while already. The People Can Fly project, I just found out about recently. Weren't they working on Bulletstorm 2 which they put on hold for a more important project? Which now seems to be Gears. I just found it wierd that they're announcing another Gears game just months after GoW 3 released. Almost like overkill, but too early to judge.

There was never talk about Bulletstorm 2. Rein said they liked the project and thought it was quality, but the game sold like sh*t.

IGN said something about People Can Fly getting pulled from Bulletstorm 2, here. I guess development never really started then, or they started to work on it and moved on to Gears. Could be either one, according to IGN anyway.

And I'm also really loving the direction the new Tomb Raider is going in.

Stop reading IGN. It's the asshole of videogame websites.

:lol: this made me lol!

Technically I was watching/hearing.;)

Anyway, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance looks really cool.

WRONG!:P

I didn't even know Depeche Mode still made music. Great song BTW.

Oh yeah, the game based on the character very few people liked? I gotta say...I don't see the point in a game like that considering the franchise it's based on.

yeah most spin off games don't usually do well, even if the character used is popular, and like you said, that character wasn't too liked
