Wasn't Suikoden VI in last week's Famitsu?
I don't think so, and I can't seem to find anything about it...but if it was and someone does know something feel free to tell me.
If work tomorrow was corporeal such that I could stab it, I do believe I would.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
G4 (Probably the best choice. As an added bonus they are streaming every press conference at E3 not just the Big 3)

Microsoft: 6:00 AM Tuesday morning.
Nintendo: 5:00 AM Wednesday morning.
Sony: 7:30 AM Wednesday morning.
I'm on holidays, so I might set the alarm early. The Nintendo thread is always fun.
sigh
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?day=14&month=7&year=2008&hour=10&min=30&sec=0&p1=1160&p2=47 -- I think that's correct, so, 1:30AM for any other people in Brisbane who want to watch the MS press conference. Edit: Kelor, 6AM? Hopefully I'm the one who's wrong 'cause if it is 6AM than I'll be able to actually watch a video stream! Same for the other 2 keynotes, woo!
MS - for the actul announcements.
Sony - for the pathetic demos (Massive damage, ducks, etc) and stupid executives.
Nintendo - for figuring out what the next thing I won't buy is going to be (Last year it was Wii Fit).
Does anyone know of any sites (Kotaku, Engadget, etc) who will be live-blogging? As I most likely won't be able to actually watch a video stream on 64K.
It gave me this for Nintendo's one.
Officially nothing has been announced at this point as far that I've read.
Edit: Kotaku had at the top of one of their articles that they were all flying out to LA, so I went with that. Seems right, since when you fly from Sydney to LA you arrive a couple of hours off from when you left Sydney Airport.
Someone help us out?
Also, everyone should hop on IRC too! IRC discussions during E3 keynotes are fun as hell.
Cos I'm really interested with the EA one.
G4 is covering it. Shady had the link last page, they're going to have streaming coverage of most of the major ones.
That'd be at 11 in the morning for the East Coasters.
I'm calling some type os Shadow of the Colossus mechanic type of game.
Last year was kind of uneventful since Halo 3 / GTA was so dominant.
since those two are out of the way, they're going to talk about something not-Halo this time.
Edit: And I fully expect this E3 to be massive. All 3 consoles are out there and 'settled', now is around about the time the serious software kicks in.
It should be noted that Activision's press conference won't be streamed live since they aren't "attending" E3 as they are no longer part of the ESA.
Especially with Iwata wanting to hold off giving details on games until they are close to completion. E3, TGS and to a lesser degree GDC will probably when we see most of the titles for their respective four months of the year.
It wouldn't be E3 without the revealing of the titles that will be wallet raping us later on in the year.
Go there.
Yeah, I used Gamespot last year along with 1up and both were pretty good.
There's something I don't remember about last year. Was Wii Fit announced at E3 or was it just shown there?
EDIT: There are countdowns on this page.
As for Gamespot's live feed, it's up there but it does tend to crap out for no good reason once in a while.

Weren't the PS2 Suikoden's pretty bad? I ask this not trying to dump on anyone's parade at all. I loved the PS1 Suikoden's SOOOO much, but always heard such bad things around here about the PS2 iterations that I actively avoided them. Have I been depriving myself?
Fyre is keeping the OP links to the streams and stuff clean, so you can watch them if you want to without having them spoiled. I don't know what kind of person gets angry about having a keynote "spoiled" for them but whatever floats your boat.
You can post anything in this thread about the keynotes or other E3 news/announcements.
You do not have to use spoiler tags
As mentioned earlier, don't make joke announcements because it's fucking stupid
True. I remember a couple of years ago when the forums were going through hell right as E3 hit. It was maddening but also entertaining. You'd be locked out for a few seconds, and come back to 5 pages of "REGGIE'S TALIKING! REGGIES' TLAKLKAING!!!!"
It's not good posting, but it's good fun.
Now I'm sad I'm at work for what'll likely be all three conferences, so I don't get to watch and join in
Agreed.
I mean, we can have a stickied post with the stream URLs if people don't want to read the "watching live" threads and be "spoiled". Having multiple threads for the keynotes is a bit weird.
Holy fuck, read the thread.
We don't have multiple keynote threads. It's just this one. You can post whatever you want in it. No one said you can't talk about news from E3 here.

As for predictions, I've not really thought about anything huge they could throw out, but I'm pretty sure Halo Chronicles will be premiered.
Suikoden IV was not that great, but V was a return to form. I'd put it behind the second.
