For Sony I'll stay up to 2am, for Bethesda... ain't gonna happen. I do like a live conference, but I'm not hyped enough for what they have to offer to justify the ungodly hour their conference is on.
There's quite a few studios.
Rarely. We're 24 hour clock in the UK really.

I really didn't know Bethesda had so many projects that they could fill up a whole conference. Is it just an hour long?
Guess they could do like 20 minutes of Fallout 4. Throw in a sneak teaser of Elder Scrolls 6(?) and then .... other games

There's no way Elder Scrolls 6 will be there, Fallout 4 is THE big game. There'll be Doom gameplay, and I'm hoping for Dishonored 2 as well as a remaster of the original. Hoping for another game/remaster announcement too.
Here are some Nintendo predictions by a team breakdown using StreetsAhead's thread and updating it for 2015:
Entertainment Analysis & Development Division
- EAD 1: Last developed Mario Kart 8. Will not be at E3, probably developing Mario Kart next handheld game (NX)
- EAD 2: Splatoon. Just released Splatoon last month, but Animal Crossing U is strongly hinted at. May be at E3.
- EAD 3: Wii U Zelda. Confirmed not at E3
- EAD 4: Mario Maker. Will be one of the main games at E3 for release in fall 2015
- EAD 5: Star Fox U co-development with unnamed 2nd/3rd party studio. Perhaps the centerpiece of this E3, will be at E3.
- Tokyo EAD 1: Supervising Majora's Mask 3D. Unlikely to be announcing any small projects or support for other studios.
- Tokyo EAD 2: Confirmed to be working on next Mario game. New Mario game unlikely to be released for the current generation of consoles (not at E3), DLC is possible.

I'm from Belgium, we don't use AM/PM at all, however I fully understand that grid and I'm really surprised people are having problem with it.

I will watch everything. E3 man, once a year.
The UK uses whatever it wants really. We use a good mix of imperial and metric measurements, although some measurements are mostly imperial (i.e. road distances in miles) and metric for weights (even then body mass is sometimes measured by pounds and stone). But I would agree, we mostly use the 24 hour clock here.

I only want to see Fallout 4, but I don't think my body can handle staying up till 3am, especially since I have to be up early...
Have IGN/Gamespot/Giant Bomb etc. put up their E3 schedules yet?

What about that Paper Mario rumor...
Denmark. So should be the same time as Belgium. But I have an idea when the conferences are.
I have had the PM/AM system explained many times but I can never memorize it.
They also have that TF2-with-swords game I don't recall the name of, and I bet they will show of an ESO expansion.

According to those predictions Nintendo won't have anything to announce at E3. -.-
Intelligent Systems usually work on multiple games at once. If a Paper Mario game is revealed , it will be for Wii U. It will not be based on rumours, however.

There's something to memorize? If I can learn the 24 hour clock coming from AM/PM when I was 9, I think you can manage the opposite.

When I was younger I though the A stood for after and P for past and the Ms for midday, so that was a hell of a trouble.
A good rule I use when having trouble remembering which is which is to think of the alphabet, A comes before P. Therefore AM is in the morning and PM the afternoon.
M (meridiem) means midday, noon, 12h00, etc.
AM - ante meridiem, hours before 12.
PM - post meridiem, hours after 12.
And 12 AM is 00h00, 12 PM is 12h00.
I live in Romania and never had issues with that. Way easier than km vs miles or kg vs pounds.
You forgot some collab studios like Atlus and Sega.
Seriously that's elementary.
We know we've hit rock bottom when people are complaining about not understanding AM/PM.
I know LOTS of people who have trouble understanding it here in Scandinavia.
And thanks for the explanation guys.

I fully expect Elder Scrolls 6 teaser. What else are they going to show? They could show off Fallout 4 with a 2015 release, or early 2016. Then get some hype generated with Elder Scrolls 6 footage. Late 2016 / Early 2017 release.
Thats what I mean. Bethesda is having their own conference when they have like ... 4 games to show off maybe.
Doom, Dishonored?, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein?
no matter where you slice it, just seems really light for a full on conference.
Oops. I guess FExSMT is inclusion is there and I'll add Sega with the Olympic Games titles.

Im only expecting Splash Damage's Gears work.
Ive got a list of London based developers here (search London if the link doesn't paste properly) and I'm not really see anyone except for Splash Damage and Headstrong Games that fit the criteria. Headstrong appear to have a lot of smaller games going on?
I mean, unless Rocksteady are working on an Xbox One exclusive, but I highly doubt that, for several reasons.

The only way Elder Scrolls 6 is being announced any time soon is if Todd isn't leading up its development, and that's highly unlikely after Skyrim's success.
I will try but it's already hard to stay awake during the Sony conference tbh
...Fallout might do it for me tho :3
look at the updated pic from the OP, the one you are quoting is 3-4 weeks old.
For those who doesn't understand AM and PM, use as base the my sample(Based on Brasil) for 24h system.
Oculus: 11/06 - 14:00
Bethesda: 14/06 - 23:00
Microsoft: 15/06 - 13:30
EA: 15/06 - 17:00
Ubisoft: 15/06 - 19:00
Sony: 15/06 - 22:00
Nintendo: 16/06 - 13:00
Square Enix: 16/06 - 14:00
PC: 16/06 - 21:00
We're talking about AM and PM now? Maybe it's a hint for The Last Guardian... Let's see. It was first revealed in 2009 and was planned to be released in 2011. Here in Malaysia the Sony conference will be from 9-11 a.m. So, The Last Guardian confirmed?!
Just trying to shed a little joke on this tense situation. I know it's not very funny.
You're going to be disappointed then.
Think of it this way. What value is there if nobody he interacts with on a daily basis uses it?

I predict a New 3ds exclusive Metroid and bundle announcement
PC exclusive Quake Multiplayer Reboot
Did a graphic overhaul with 24hour times. Let me know if there's any errors.
Looks sexy as fuck; good work man.
