[E3] 2014 - Games games and more games!

HallowedFaith

It's that time of year again folks. Time for rumors, hype, game reveals, and enough marketing buzzwords to choke an elephant.

Presenting....

Let's get things rolling with who is doing what and where. This information shamelessly stolen from www.e3countdown.com, which is where you should go. But if you're too lazy to click, here is a quick summary.

Note: Stuff is already getting revealed prior to E3. With that comes trailers/teasers. I've built a pseudo "E3 Dashboard" that lists all the current "E3" reveal teasers as well as some basic info, mostly it's just a playlist though. You can find it here:

@Peewi Put together a very nice schedule of times and streaming events.

Nice. Are there any E3 Bingo cards in the wild?

Eidos, bring Deus Ex 4.

Henroid

Not gonna bother with the individual threads this year for each conference.

Archsorcerer

Edited my previous post.

Archsorcerer

Paraphrasing:

"I think this is the year for The Last Guardian."
"How many times has that been said in this podcast?"
"Many times."
*Bursts of laughter*

Listen to that podcast.

Suriko

Trying to feel the hype, but it just isn't coming. What gets shown at E3 and what gets released end up being so different. Kinda jaded from years of disappointing releases, flagrant bullshot, unreleased builds, fluffer 'journalist's, lies about PC versions, and meaningless CG teasers.

Interested to see Battlefront gameplay, but beyond that... eh.

BUZZWORDS BUZZWORDS BUZZWORDS

I do so love E3 conferences.

BRIAN BLESSED

Now that the dust has (mostly) settled from the hardware releases, hopefully we'll see more actual software releases to actually see the full worth of these consoles!

/hype

Artereis

I'm not really expecting any megatons out of E3 this year. I'd love some Dragon Quest news and a little more info about Persona 5. Anything else is just gravy.

HallowedFaith

I am really just interested in seeing what Nintendo does. There is a big chance they will be showing Zelda U and a couple new things and I think that is what has people interested, mostly since their earnings reports and the shift in attention since they can't get 3rd party support.

Microsoft could surprise us, but I think it's mostly games we expect, like Halo, and probably Usher singing on stage. :P

Sony is going to have a lot of info on Morpheus and that has me very interested. I'm curious to see how they approach it, and hope it doesn't turn into a second-thought accessory. I think VR headsets have a big advantage with disabled people and I would love to see it become more mainstream.

I fully expect Sony and MS (MS more than Sony) to trumpet their "we're THIS awesome" business horns.

UnbreakableVow

THINGS I WANT FROM EVERYONE THAT WON'T ACTUALLY HAPPEN BUT MAYBE SOME OF THEM WILL (like one percent of them)Br

Sony

- PaRappa the Rapper 3
- Sly Cooper 5
- Dark Cloud 3
- Cool Boarders
- Syphon Filter
- Drakan reboot
- Intelligent Qube released as a PS1 Classic?
- Or a new Intelligent Qube?
- Kinetica 2
- Folklore 2
- Legend of Legaia 3
- Don't even mention The Last Guardian

Nintendo

- Super Mario Galaxy 3 and a bunch of other new games for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
- Pokemon Snap 2 (this one can be on Wii U for reasons)

Microsoft

- Blinx 3 (this is a joke)
- Voodoo Vince 2 (this is also a joke)
- Viva Pinata (NOT A JOKE)
- R.C. Pro-Am reboot (did you know Rare owns this and has been sitting on their fucking hands with it for over 20 years DID YOU KNOW THAT SHIT, what the hell Rare)
- Jet Force Gemini 2
- Crackdown 3
- BRING BACK 1 VS. 100
- Project Gotham Racing 5

EA

- BURNOUT PARADISE 2. PARADISE-"LIKE" NEED FOR SPEED GAMES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT. NOBODY CARES ABOUT NEED FOR SPEED ANYMORE.
- Any sort of new info on Mirror's Edge 2
- Mass Effect Trilogy for PS4/Xbox One. FIX THE TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH ME1.
- Not another fucking Battlefield
- Please not a ten-minute demo of your new fucking Battlefield because you ignored the previous entry on this list
- Star Wars Battlefront? I've never played these but I like Star Wars
- Except I hear they're basically like Battlefield so eh...
- If Battlefront pushes Mirror's Edge 2 completely out of this E3 then fuck EA forever
- A new Road Rash would be cool
- Does EA still have the rights to make Harry Potter games? Make a Quidditch game except make it not shit this time

Ubisoft

- Info on the Assassin's Creed movie. You've got a date and director and star nailed down, I want to hear more about it.
- Please put Michael Fassbender on stage
- All AC Unity and Far Cry 4, all the time, otherwise
- Just come out and apologize for Blood Dragon and say it won't happen again and that there'll actually be substantial DLC for Far Cry 4 this time
- It's probably too soon to announce a new Rayman right? Well, what the hell else is Michel Ancel gonna do, announce another Rayman
- Say that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is happening but don't produce any screens or video of it, just keep stringing people along for a few more years, it's hilarious in a Duke Nukem Forever-like way
- More games like Child of Light and that other UbiArt game that I can't remember the title of at the moment, the World War I one
- Oh hey remember that Rainbow Six game where you basically take out Occupy Wall Street? That sounded novel

Konami

- Dance Dance Revolution next-gen revival
- That's it! Metal Gear and Castlevania are essentially dead to me at this point, Silent Hill is dead to everyone, you're not much use to anyone anymore

All the rest

- Gitaroo-Man 2
- A port of Marvel Heroes to PS4/Xbox One
- It's coming the Monday before but I wanna see so much stuff on Mortal Kombat 10
- A sequel to Kolibri, arguably the finest hummingbird-based shooter available on the 32X
- Mr. Bones 2
- Michael Jackson's Moonwalker HD
- Panzer Dragoon Saga HD Remix
- Ultra Street Fighter IV Xbox One and PS4 port
- Grand Theft Auto V PS4/Xbox One port (yes I know that Rockstar is never at E3, whatever)
- Saints Row Collection for PS4/Xbox One, they all run at 1080p/60fps now (I mainly want this for SR4, SR3 was perfectly fine on PS3 at least)
- Anything on Final Fantasy XV
- Anything on Kingdom Hearts III
- Anything on Star Wars Jedi Power Battles 2, including its existence
- - Fallout 4 but they've said it's not happening so I don't know anymore

And last but certainly not least

Something substantial with Marvel licenses!

Darlan

We're already getting spiritual successors to Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, and classic Fallout, so, uh, I'm already sitting pretty before anything is announced at this year's E3. That's a surprisingly large chunk of my dream wishlist right there.

That said, it sure would be nice to see some cool new IPs, Beyond Good and Evil 2, Deus Ex 4, Fallout 4, a new team ICO game (whether or not it's Last Guardian, I don't care if it's cancelled or not at this point, I just want that talent back in the game), the "fashionably late Rockstar PC pack" with Red Dead and GTA V, more Project Beast with a surprise PC version as well, and of course, Zelda U.

I can opine with some statistically significant degree of certainty that you may be a nutcase

HallowedFaith

I will be SHOCKED if EA doesn't show off something of a new Battlefield.

SHOCKED I say.

I suppose that works. Had no idea they announced a new one already.

nusu

Whatever you do, don't play a drinking game during MS' presser along the lines of "take a drink whenever someone says Call of Duty, Sports, TV, or Halo". You'd be dead in 15 minutes.

Drez

Is Square having a conference? They usually do, no?

Drez

I'd like to hear that they are working on FFXII HD Remaster that will be on Vita and PS3.

I bet they announce a FFXIII trilogy thing at some point. Probably not this year, that's not how Square operates - they love to drag shit out - but who knows?

HallowedFaith

If they aren't announcing a Final Fantasy Tactics for something I don't really care much. FF is kind dead to me and has been since after X. Fans are still screaming for a FF7 HD remake but even that sounds boring now.

If they announced a new FF Tactics for Vita, it would make me strongly consider buying one.

Drez

Actually, an FFTA HD compilation would be nice.

I feel like that's untapped potential for them to milk on iOS, Vita, or some shit.

HallowedFaith

FFTA is charming because of the sprites though, if they go HD it would have to stay in that same art style.

Fuck, now I want to play FFTA.

Sagroth

Things I would love to see but probably won't:

Sony announces the rumored PS1/2 emulation for PS4
Last Guardian for PS4
A new Dragon's Dogma game
Fallout 4
A new Banjo Kazooie game(especially a new Nuts and Bolts)
Crackdown 3
A new Crash Bandicoot game
GameCube on WiiU VC
Date/price on Project Morpheus
New StarFox
New Metroid
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3(my wife would FLIP HER SHIT)
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Super Mario Galaxy HD collection

Drez

They SHOULD port the HD version of FFT: War of the Loins (typo intentional) to the Vita/3DS. The iOS port is pretty, but ironically the touch control schema is shit. Can't see it being difficult or costly to port that over.

HallowedFaith

GCN on Wii U would have the requirement of allowing full play on the Gamepad or I am not interested. And even if they do that, I don't see how Mario Sunshine would work without analog triggers.

Episode 103 - OFF THE RAILS

Although I'm a big fan of 8-4 Play and their E3 centric podcasts more than anything else they have to offer, it sucks that Mark MacDonald is not present once again. I'm sure it is a good episode still, but that is nonetheless a huge bummer.

We still have threads for each console, and I think they'll suffice.

Sagroth

Do you think there will be enough room in the respective console threads for all the responses Ror-oh my god what the fuck happened to your name?

Mr_Grinch

LAST GUARDIAN

(I'm actually on holiday during E3 so someone best let me know if this happens)

vagrant_winds

As long as I get a full Project Beast showing I'll be happy.

JJ is trying so hard to avoid spilling a secret during the Nintendo section. The E3 podcasts will be awesome.

Oh boy, I just had an idea.
In one of the latest podcasts he mentioned that he was working on a game which involved translating a lot of "skills".
Maybe they are localizing Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem? Wouldn't be too much of a stretch since they worked on Awakening.

They were kinda forced into a corner, what with a shitload of info about it being leaked.

I think I'm most looking forward to:
Project Beast
Mirror's Edge 2
Batman: Arkham Knight
Uncharted 4
The Order: 1886
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Final Fantasy XV
The Witcher 3

What I'd love to see:
The Last Guardian
Dragon's Dogma 2
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Syphon Filter
Gravity Rush 2

@UnbreakableVow‌ If Mirror's Edge isn't shown, it'll have nothing to do with Battlefront. Mirror's Edge is being developed by DICE, while Battlefront is being developed by DICE LA (aka EA LA aka Danger Close, the Medal of Honor devs). Two different studios on two different continents :P.

And they haven't had the Harry Potter license for years and I doubt Warner have any interest re-licensing it to anyone.

HallowedFaith

@Unco-ordinated, I just watched the leak. That was pretty shitty of someone to do. Not interested in the game, but still kind of crappy for someone to ruin their setup like that.

Yeah, it's from a six month old build too, so there's lot of unfinished assets in the trailer. Not exactly something you want giving people first impressions of your game.

Same thing just happened to Sony actually. Half the Project Beast trailer just leaked yesterday, so that's one of Sony's biggest E3 announcements ruined. No-one knows if they even have another announcement of equal size scheduled for their conference.

I imagine both companies are pretty pissed right now.

Achire

Ok pipe dream time: F-Zero U by the guys who made Sonic All Stars Racing: Transformed. F-Zero GX feels way more "next gen" than anything I've played on PS4/Wii U so far. Metroid Prime, too.

Zython

I'm mostly anticipating what Nintendo has up their sleeves. In addition, I'm also wondering if Sony (or a 3rd party) can convince me to get a PS4 as opposed to building a PC. Given how much shit has been pushed back to 2015, not banking on it.

They'll announce it this year and release it in 2018.

FFX was 13 years ago everyone.... Let that sink in for a little bit...

For all you Last Gaurdian Hopefuls out there i was listening to IGN's Podcast Beyond and they made the argument that because of its long and treacherous development cycle Sony can't show this game and then make us wait another year for it. If it is re-revealed this E3 we should have it in our hands by February 2015 at the latest.
