More Kinect games - After the huge sales of the Kinect for Microsoft, expect the camera to be at Microsoft's conference sporting some hardcore games as well as casual games.
A bunch of Nintendo 3DS games including Super Mario 3DS.
RUMOR: Grand Theft Auto 5
RUMOR: Resident Evil 6
RUMOR: New Alan Wake game
Sony will comment on the PSN situation.
All the big games that still aren't out like The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swords, Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite, Codename: Kingdoms, Twisted Metal, etc.
Announcement of PSP Remaster Series (http://www.handheldgamingblog.com/play-psp-games-ps3-psp-remaster-series-announced/) for North America.
Some more Move games, but not a focus of the Sony press conference.
Hints that Sony and Microsoft are working on their future consoles.


Where? Los Angeles Conference Center

I imagine Microsoft's conference will be dead boring compared to Sony and Nintendo.

Sony have the NGP/Vita to talk about and Nintendo have their new console to talk about.

For obviously reasons out of MS, Sony and Nintendo I am most interested in Sony. NGP looks promising.

Glad that Sony has finally put Nintendo in a place where they have to react (in the handheld department). Nintendo needs some serious competition in the handheld market, and it looks like Sony just gave it to them.

Now we'll have to see what Nintendo has to bring to the table tomorrow. :)

Microsofts wasn't as bad as you lot make it out to be, holy crap they're promoting the hardware they released for it, who would of thought they would actually try and push games for it? :rolleyes:

Honestly the only good parts about either of them so far is Gears 3, Battlefield 3 and Vita, the rest is just rubbish, Sony were on the same level as Microsoft, maybe only slightly higher because of the announcements about Vita, both of them were trumped by EA to be honest.

But the games shown were awful. In my eyes, Sony done better but was still dissapointing. The bioshock + infinite combo got me more interested to buy the game and that 3DTV has me interested too (but I doubt I'll get it). Also you didn't mention uncharted 3? Probably not as good as demo as uncharted 2 but still pretty good. They both lacked any real surprise and this year nintendo can get some easy shockers in so they'll probably "win".

I only wish they shown the VITA price in GBP.

Also where the hell are games like the last guardian, agent and sorcery?! SORCERY LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY DECENT MOVE ONLY GAME LOL. And FFvXIII!

I don't know, I was more reffering to their games :P Can be around £60 and the more expensive games (i.e. mw3) are like £80 lol.

To put it in perspective as vita is around the same price as a PS3, aussies PS3s RRP at 600 AUD (according to game) which is £390.

Happy about the price of vita, I'll be picking one up at launch, the new Wii thing is kind of confusing, hasn't the PS3 and PSP been able to do pretty much the same thing since the PS3 came out though?

And if it hasn't, I imagine Vita will now..

Yeah, but it never worked properly.

I love E3, it brings out the geek in me. Watched all the 3 major shows even though i don't have a 360 lol. Uncharted 3 looks amazing! Loved the whole titanic vibe that was going on. I was expecting much from the vita because the psp was a waste of my money tbh but the graphics on it are insane. Also, since when did the PS3 get 3D :S? Tbh even thought i love song, they never come up with their own ideas, they copied the ds' touch screen controls for vita and now they copied 3D for their games ( however they have to wear glasses and they are expensive). I currently have no idea of what to make of the Tv bundle, its quite pricey just for 3D stuff.

The wii U is a really stupid name (and I am i dedicated Nintendo fan) and i wish they would move away from the name. It was good back when it was released but now it just sounds really childish. The new controller seems really cool! However there may be problems when playing with it on a small screen tv and that you can only use 1 controller for wii u (and 4 other wii remotes but not other wii u controllers). I also hated that during the show they talked about the controller non stop and had no time to discuss what the console was actually like. They didn't even show it. I bet people walked away thinking it was another handheld. I have seen the console on pics after and it looks really nice and can apprently produce better graphics then the 360 and ps3 which can't be bad. The clip they showed of zelda fighting the spider to show the power of the console was fantastic, they really need to make that into a game. That reminds me, skyward sword looks incredible! I was going to sell my wii but I will hold onto it for this gem!

For the microsoft show, i think it was better presented then the other two, but i hate microsoft. I don't see the whole craze with halo ethir, I played the first on xbox and was not engaged by it at all. They kept banging on about kinnect (have I spelt it right?) which was boardline suicidal because they were mostly for casual gamers.

I hope the points aren't to negative because their are a lot of amazing games comming out for everything that I can't wait to get my paws on!

I think minecraft for xbox will be in no way compareable to PC.
Mods will be hard for it and updates too :\

It wont be as good in a lot of ways, I feel the multiplayer is about all the console version will have over the PC version, there wont be any mods and updates will be slower, not to mention the fact you'd have to buy all the better content.

minecraft on xbox will be lame unless they figure out a way to use the Cloud service (/a way in general) to get your world from your PC account

Been drooling over games like Bioshock Infinite, TES Skyrim and ME3 for ages now. Especially TES. WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT?!

Anybody have a link to show how much better the Wii U is to the ps3 and xbox360 (in graphical terms)?

One would expect that since they have been out so long, that the Wii U will bat them outta the park.

I see what you did there, I guess the Wii U will probably also have a pretty decent hard drive. Oh wait...

There's no way to really know right now. Nintendo themselves didn't have any official games to confirm outside of Smash Brothers which hasn't even started development. The console is still early and is probably more than a year away.

They could do that quite easily I would imagine, I heard Mojang would be doing some sort of cloud ting anyway so I could see it happening quite easily really, although I don't imagine it'll be done like this, it would be pretty pointless and it would cause problems for people using mods on the PC version aswell.

All the multiplat footage shown at nintendo was from PC, PS3 and 360 games. Reggie admitted it afterwards

I doubt it'll happen, the way XBL works pretty much stops that idea dead in it's tracks, hence why Steam partnered with Playstation Network rather than XBL for Portal 2 and whatever future plans they have.

Another halo trilogy. As much as I love have, and I did expect a 4, but not another bloody trilogy. CE Anniversary looks good too, just seems like a waste of money, I'll personally getting MW3 instead of that.

New dash looks......interesting.

Worried about Bioshock Infinite. Main demos had the player character speaking 95% of the time, especially when you 'discovered' something yourself, kinda takes you out of it. Hope they iron that out a little bit, fine with the voice, just where it comes into play.

I can't wait for September to roll around, Dead Island then Gears 3, then after that Arkham City, BF3, AC: Revelations, the MGS collection and I think there's something else around here that I can't remember (not MW3)
