I don't think so. So many conferences and potentially cool reveals. There will be disappointments no doubt, but some really good stuff as well. Some people will never be satisfied of course, but such is life.

Eh, not for me. E3 for me is about the new hype announcements of new games and IPs honestly. New gameplay is great but the announcements are what make a good E3 for me.

17 minute reveal trailer incoming
What are you talking about?
Dark Cloud was amazing. Rogue Galaxy was great as was Jeanne D'arc. WKC was mediocre with some great concepts. Ni No Kuni was great. Heard Yokai Watch is really good as well.

TT came out after GT4, so they probably didn't want to cut into its chance of success. But they were planning to include bikes in GT2000, but that ended up being canned and bikes in the series became a big dream for fans.

Hey that one game out of all the ones he mentioned is not as you said, therefore nullifies everything! Scalebound and Xenoblade, both new IPs are both the games I'm most excited for from both Nintendo and Xbone.

In reality, first party AAA has never been more irrelevant outside of a few franchises. But we still hold them up to impossibly high standards here like they will all be saviors. Most of the big talent has to prove themselves worthy again as its been so long since we've seen real gems from them. Goes for both Sony and MS.

I hope we see something substantial about The Division. It can't bee that far out right?
If they add bikes to GT7 we all know that they'll just port the ones from TT and maybe add a couple of new ones.

We also don't know what Rare is working on and they'll probably have another Ori style reveal as well. No company is gonna reveal a slew of new IP at E3. Last year really wasn't so bad in that regard with Splatoon, Scalebound and Bloodborne. I also wonder if we'll see more of Quantum Break, which isn't an established franchise either.
Awesome! I wonder what all they'll show running on it.
Interesting, so we'll have HoloLens and Morpheus. (as expected and as I predicted)
I hope Sony will continue developing and iterating on its AR glasses as well. And I hope SCE will make Morpheus compatible with PC.
Targeted for this fall, so undoubtedly it will be one of Ubisoft's focal points, besides AC probably.

I took his comment as "if I tell you, you're going to be upset that x y and z games aren't listed, regardless of how awesome the stuff is that *will* be there".
I don't want to know regardless. I like surprises and waiting until reveals. That said, leaks that hint at stuff without giving too much away is kinda fun.

Ok, so let's try to break it down:
Rare has at least one unannounced game, even though it might not be new IP
Lionhead is working on a new IP
Twisted Pixel is working on a new IP
I believe Team Dakota is working on a new IP
Press Play is working on a new IP
Then there are some second party partners that may be working on new IP.
Also ID@Xbox
I don't expect every studios' projects to be shown, but I expect a healthy new influx of new IP from Microsoft. The only thing I view as a negative in that Phil Spencer said they will be focusing on first party content is that we're probably not going to see any new second party collaborations like Scalebound. We also know what first party studios are working on new IP, so I don't expect to be surprised that much. Hopefully, they have at least one small ace up their sleeve.

Exactly this. Seeing some dude move their head around on stage is pointless and be like " oh wow this is amazing". Hopefully they spend 10 mins max on it.
I look at it like this. The less hype I am for E3, the more surprised I'll be when a legit shocker actually happens. Until then, E3 is going to be shit and nothing will change that, not even a surprise appearance from CBOAT himself.

Yeah, I don't know how MS and Sony can effectively present HoloLens and Morpheus during a press conference, respectively. I guess for Sony, they can possibly have each person in the audience wear a Morpheus headset, but it'll be expensive as heck to do that. Also, the audience will only be passive spectators which isn't as effective as them trying it out for themselves.
All they need is a 2 minute video of people wearing it and hyping it up. Then have someone come out and say "It's coming next year with these specs and this price. try it for yourself on the floor". Then move on.
Wouldn't happen until the end of May or the beginning of June, IIRC.
I read an article on i think tech times that says morpheus outputs to tv screens as well
TBH I hope they don't present either device during the actual conference do it on a stream on Twitch like on Tuesday afternoon.
"Second-party" falls under fist-party as well. First-party is any game published/produced by publisher that is part of platform holder.

VR is boring to me. I don't want to sit through any of it
It's tradition for Sony to put boring stuff in their E3 conference though.

Powers

You sat through Powers. Never forget that.

What about holograms?
VR is definitely not boring imho. Don't generalize subjective statements too much.

VR is pointless at a press conference since no one other than the person using the headset is actually getting the intended effect. With 3D you could at least give the audience glasses. Announcing games that'll use it on the showfloor is fine, but taking up show time to specifically demo them seems like a bad move.

What was worse, Powers or Wonderbook?
wonderbook wasnt boring either just poorly executed
Unless you have the actual experience it will really boring to watch, same thing as VR.
At this point I don't expect it until the 2nd half of 2016. We've literally seen nothing of it to instill any confidence it'll be out within a year.

Wonderbook by far, they even did a live demo of it and had some technical problems, i was cringing the whole time.
You can just show gameplay footage from a game that is compatible with Project Morpheus?
Whether it's live or not, doesn't really matter.
It isn't any different than when demoing regular games. The audience is also just watching and not experiencing the game themselves.

Could you tell us in what sense?

Same. I hope Sony doesn't dedicate any of their presser to VR. The pressers should be solely about the games...preferably ones that aren't for VR.
Wonderbook, it went on longer.
It kind of is though, it requires them to demo it with motion controls ... Morpheus should not be at the conference same with HoloLens with MS. Same issue.
Are these games gonna be played with a regular controller or motion? If motion it just turns me off the concept even more.

VR being demo'd at their events is one thing. It shouldn't have much time, if any, in their presser though, IMO.
It's kinda boring in the fact that I can't experience what that person on stage is experiencing. I think if they do have a morpheus segment. Just announce games coming to the platform maybe updated specs, price-point and launch.
