Mega thread!

[VR46]

Updated MS list thanks Uli.

[Digfox]

Would suggest this thread is a sticky, personally.

Thank you, as it's very useful to see a summary of the main player's briefings. I watched the MS and EA briefings but couldn't manage staying up for the Sony briefing in the end.

This digest is a godsend - thanks DavidH! (Every other site is busy churning out clickbait articles for every single detail).

There is this thread on NeoGaf which is also very in depth and useful resource: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=830854

Thanks. Added in Nintendo stuff from yesterday.

Matt Lees. Not funny in the slightest. Is he usually?

[QualityChimp]

I've added Matt Lees' Microsoft Abridged video, but it's quite interesting because people are complaining that it's not as funny as last year's video.

I guess that's the price you pay for having an interesting and informative conference this year, instead of the absolute train wreck from E3 2013 that they've spent the last year back-tracking on nigh-on everything they said.

It was painful to watch as a gamer, but an absolute comedy GOLDMINE!

I was in tears at the ones from last year, Brad.

Made a dumb and crap video looking at the E3 press conferences and all the buzzwords and stupid things they say. Only about 4 minutes long so if you have nothing better to do it might help you kill those 4 minutes.

Matt Lee's video is still funny, its just this year no one did anything truly dumb that they've done every year in the past so he's had to work a lot harder or more abstract to find the comedy.

[Brad]

I think I may have laughed at last year's ones. Getting old. Can't remember things anymore.
