Get on the hype traaaaaain!

E3 is just around the corner so I figured I'd throw up this thread here. I'll be posting news and crap when I see something interesting.

Nintendo will be kicking things off with a Nintendo Direct focused on Smash Bros on Sunday. Probably announcing DLC characters and stuff. Same day will be the Nintendo World Chamipnships so who knows what thats going to end up being like.

Monday Sony and Microsoft will be having their conferences, one will be in the morning and the other in the evening. Other companies having conferences include Ubisoft, Bethesda (DOOM will be shown!), and for the first(?) time there will be a PC conference with several PC developers showing up and showing off. That should be interesting.

Then Tuesday morning/afternoon should be Nintendos "conference" which like last year will be a video that goes up for everyone to watch.

EDIT:

Schedule breakdown! All times are Pacific time. Do your math accordingly. Or just wait for me to fill this thread with info. Whatever.

June 14th:

Nintendo (Smash Bros Direct) 7:40 AM
Nintendo Treehouse Live pre-show 2:20 PM
Nintendo World Championships 3:00 PM
Bethesda 7:00 PM

June 15th:

Microsoft 9:30 AM
EA 1:00 PM
Ubisoft 2:45 PM
Sony 6:00 PM

June 16th:

E3 Countdowns!

Today we have the Nintendo World Championships. Should be interesting if anything comes out of that. Earlier there was a Smash Bros Direct where they announced Ryu (Street Fighter) and Roy (Fire Emblem) as DLC characters, as well as Amiibos of ROB, Duck Hunt Dog, Mr Game & Watch, and Falco. I think the DLC also comes with some new stages? I don't know all the details. DLC is out now so the eshop is slammed and probably down for maintenance. Also it appears there is a 3DS app that will let you use your 3DS as a controller for Wii U Smash, which is interesting. Guess its nice if you're used to the 3DS version or you need some extra controllers for the Wii U.

Also tonight will be Bethesda, and I want to see what the new Doom is going to be like!

idolminds · « **Reply #3 on:** Sunday, June 14, 2015, 05:10:27 PM »

Nintendo World Championships are going on, almost done now. A couple new things came to light during the show.

Earthbound Beginnings (Mother 1) translated and released for Wii U Virtual Console. Should be available by the time you're reading this.

Blastball, which is a 3DS game that looks like a sports version of Metroid Prime Hunters. No further details on what it is or when it might be available.

Mario Maker renamed to Super Mario Maker. Apparently it looks fucking awesome from what I'm reading.

Ok, that was it! We'll get more Nintendo when their real show goes up on Tuesday.

Kotaku -> Doom (Reboot).
PC Gamer -> Look at Doom (Reboot) on the Single Player, Multiplayer & SnapMap.

Youtube -> Dishonored 2 - Announcement Trailer.

Thanks D.

Yeah Bethesda showed the new Doom as well as Fallout 4, announced a free to play Elder Scrolls card game, and a free (totally free) Fallout phone game where you manage a Vault.

MysterD · « **Reply #7 on:** Sunday, June 14, 2015, 08:41:26 PM »

Fallout 4 looked pretty awesome w/ crafting settlements which can get attacked (Minecraft anyone?), weapons, Power Armor, and whatnot.
I'm stoked.

Doom!
SnapMap (SDK/Mod Tools) looked pretty cool for Doom.
SP Campaign looked like mixture of classic style of Doom (with a lot of monsters everywhere + big, open wide-areas) + that Doom 3 kind of look & style (but way better since it's for next-gen + modern PC's, obviously).
MP looks like a cross b/t Doom + Quake Arena.

Dishonored 2.
Play as either Corvo or Emily (she looks all grown up here), each w/ some of their own skills.
Raph Colontonio (Spelling?) is on Twitch w/ Adam Sessler + Morgan Webb right now - and he says there is NO CO-OP in Dishonored 2; and is coming Spring 2016.

Super Mario Maker World Championship intro

Just a little bit of the crazy until the individual sections can be carved out of the whole Nintendo World Championships video. Which, by the way, is right here. Warning: its nearly 5 hours long. Super Mario Maker was the last game in the competition so if you want to see it you can skip way in.

Blastball intro

No details on what this really is, so I'm guessing it'll be revealed in Tuesdays show. People scouring over the footage looking for clues seem to think it is somehow Metroid related.

I was very impressed with the Doom footage. It looked a little "scripted" in the beginning but it would appear to be more open than 3 was. As much of a technological advancement as D3 was, there is something about the simplicity in the gameplay of 1 and 2 that made the game work. I'm much more optimistic about the game now that I've seen this footage.

Fallout 4 looks to be a fairly incredible game. The one thing that stuck out to me (and Sy) was the way conversations were handled. In previous games you would pick your choice and then receive a response from whoever you were conversing with. Now it would appear that you make your conversation choice and then your character then engages conversation with the chosen line. I always liked the "silent protagonist" way of dealing with conversation in Bethesda games, and it honestly looks a bit awkward here.

I am looking VERY forward to Dishonored 2. The first game was one of my top games of last generation, and despite the praise it got I still feel like it was underrated. The game is phenomenal. I liked everything I saw in the demo.

idolminds · « **Reply #12 on:** Monday, June 15, 2015, 10:22:28 AM »

Microsoft is doing their thing at the moment.

Halo 5 trailer

Recore trailer - Xbox One exclusive from Inafune and the makers of Metroid Prime. Sadly its a CGI trailer, no gameplay.

Dark Souls 3 was shown, but again I think it was CGI. Spring 2016, but I'm pretty sure its not exclusive.

Xbox Elite controller looks like it has some neat features, for One and PC.

Xbox One getting 360 backwards compatibility, which is their biggest news. Works with "100s" of games with 100s more to come. Stick the disc in your Xbox One and if its compatible it will apparently download the compatible version for you to play. No extra costs, also works with Arcade titles. I don't know all the details yet but there you go.

Rare Replay is a collection of 30 Rare titles, including RC Pro-AM, Conker, Viva Pinata, Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark, Battletoads, and a whole bunch more. $30. If you have an Xbox One I think thats a must buy.

Full list:

Quote

1. Jetpac
2. Atic Atac
3. Lunar Jetman
4. Sabre Wulf
5. Underwurlde
6. Knight Lore
7. Gunfright
8. Slalom
9. R.C. Pro-Am
10. Cobra Triangle
11. Snake Rattle N Roll
12. Digger T. Rock
13. Solar Jetman
14. Battletoads
15. R.C. Pro-Am II
16. Battletoads Arcade
17. Killer Instinct Gold
18. Blast Corps
19. Banjo-Kazooie
20. Jet Force Gemini
21. Perfect Dark
22. Banjo-Tooie
23. Conker’s Bad Fur Day
24. Grabbed by the Ghoulies
25. Perfect Dark Zero
26. Kameo: Elements of Power
27. Viva Piñata
28. Jetpac Refuelled
29. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
30. Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise

Rare also making a new game called Sea of Thieves, which is a pirate game.

Support for both Valve VR and Oculus.

A new Fable was shown.

Gears remaster and a new Gears.

This Minecraft for Hololens demo is really freaking cool.

Cuphead looks amazing. Like an old timey Disney cartoon turned into a game.

Tacoma looks really interesting.

Holy shit. The compatibility is completely unexpected. That doesn't affect me very much, since I opted to keep my system, and I see no reason to saddle the One with the 360's many gigabytes of stuff. But a lot of people traded in their old systems, and this should make a big splash because of them.

The Rare collection, wow! All that stuff in one package. Neato.

Hah, thanks again, D. I was getting kinda tired during the Ubisoft one and wasn't super interested in much they showed.

But I'm all set to go for Sony! 15 minutes!

While we wait, watch this video and tell me that shouldn't be in the real game.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

I don't know if I'm really excited about this or really worried about this. Love Mass Effect. Hate that "trailer" Hoping for a real ME game and not Borderlands in the ME universe. Hoping REAL hard.

I actually liked what I saw w/ R6: Siege + GR: Wildlands.

I actually liked what I saw w/ Doom (Reboot). Way better than I actually expected, for a game that's been in Development Hell + been restarted at least twice.
I wasn't honestly expected much from Doom (Reboot). Bethesda certainly delivered for me, last night.
