E3 2012

[ezee ryder]

Will be there this year again. Third year running, woo!

Conference wise, I expect Microsoft's showing to be the least impressive. I reckon Sony will be showing off plenty of new titles (PS Vita and PS3), maybe a couple surprises up their sleeves too. Nintendo will go all out with the Wii U and possibly also announce a revision of the 3DS.

Personally, looking forward to seeing more of God of War: Ascension, The Last of Us, Assassin's Creed III and Halo 4.

It's looking like the Wii U is going to be the only thing at E3 that interests me.... Unless Blaze are there in some capacity demonstrating real actual Neo Geo X hardware, with a real price.

Oh, and Skylanders Giants, of course

SEGA will interfere Sony's conference while they are talking about sales figures and announce the Dreamcast 2 with amazing games like Shenmue 3, Streets of Rage 4, Virtua Racing 2, Sonic Adventure 3, PSO 2, New Jet Set Radio, plus loooads more and it will have a proper controller with no motion controls and it will say 1024Bit on the front of the console.

A rumour has emerged that Capcom is planning to release a new resi game for the 3DS at the end of the year called Resident Evil: Downfall

If true, expect a reveal at E3

I'd be well happy

[Neon Ignition]

I think it's most telling that we're getting really close to E3 and there's very little in the way of hype, stories or rumours. Unless Nintendo hits big with WiiU I'd say this will be the most low-key E3 in years.

Also, maybe the first footage of Infamous 3

They've said that they aren't showing The Last Guardian. I'm half expecting it to be axed or end up on Vita instead.

It's all about Nintendo for me. Booked the day off!!

The big M and Sony will have some great stuff, but it will all be the same. kinect will fail to create an impact and will, once again, be seen as the glitchy gimmick that it is.............And Sony will fail to make a stir, full stop. No The last Guardian? Why?

Nintendo has the potential to offer something very exciting, i hope they dont screw it up!

Respawn have confirmed that they won't be revealing their new game at E3. All they've confirmed for the Call of Duty follow up so far is a sci-fi setting and a teaser image

So in other words they won't have anything great?

[ezee ryder]

And Sony will fail to make a stir, full stop.

Bold statement. Will be interesting to see if it's true after Sony's conference. I doubt it.

[EvilBoris]

Maybe they will make a stir if they show us some exciting things we haven't already seen or that aren't sequels.

[ezee ryder]

I believe they have a few things that match those descriptions up their sleeves.

A touch screen tablet for PS3?

[chopemon]

Remember E3 06 when MS did Bringing it Home with a Lost Planet demo and everything was super exciting and wonderful and then every year after Bringing it Home tailed off to almost nothing?

I want 06 again.

[ezee ryder]

A touch screen tablet for PS3?

Isn't that called a Vita?

In all seriousness, I expect a good showing from Sony and (at least) a couple of nice surprises.
