Sure, i liked Season 1 lol. To be honest i'd take Powers over VR, not interested in it at all.
The Powers segment this year will just be Andy, Mark, Shuhei, Shawn, Jim, and Adam spraying each other continuously with champagne while Kaz is hoisted above the ceiling dropping sparkle dust on the audience.
It will be beautiful.

It's May tomorrow. Then we can start saying "E3 is a month away!" and feel sort of correct.
Now the hype is starting to build, starting to grow. Will we have one of those "What food will you eat while watching E3" threads?
I can't wait until Sony confirms their conference.
The hype threads for Playstation are legendary, and so much fun.
You guys want games, games and games, but you'd take a TV show over the future of gaming.

Heh, i can't play VR for long. if it's the future of gaming i guess i'm out.
Must be the game from Stig Asmussen.
Pretty much. I like to see that guy holding a gun in front of me yaknow
And did you saw both games ?

Probably too early to ask, but is anyone putting together an E3 Bingo thread? Or is that just absorbed by the E3 OT now?

That seems pretty accurate especially if Bethesda announces Fallout 4, ESO stuff, Dishonored 2. EA has Battlefront , Mirrors Edge, Mass Effect 4 + Trilogy? which will be big and last year Microsoft's conference blew Sony's out of the picture imo.
I would sure as hell hope Bethesda can at least beat ubisoft if the first parties pull out some surprises
Shadowwarrior404 better be funding costumes and cast or I will BE SO SAD.
I'M JUMPING ON THIS NON-EXISTENT TRAIN, WHO'S IN?
Gillian Jacobs as (ZS)Samus
Alison Brie as Zelda
Joel McHale as Mario
Danny Pudi as Luigi
Donald Glover glorious cameo as Link, various puns about being Green and names with L with Luigi
They really like their end of conference surprises and they could have blood dragon 2

They use the 2010 Konami conference as inspiration.
I dunno. I just cannot be bothered with their buggy ass games anymore
Im hoping that wont be an issue anymore now that xbone and ps4 are closer to PCs
I want to see a trailer for Gran Turismo 7, which says launching Fall 2015. That would be it for me. Unless it gets delayed.
That's presumably a 2016 title at the earliest.
Probably not.

It'll probably be a footnote.
Never happening because EA/Dice hates us.

I'll make a general bingo template plus one for Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. Been trying to find a vector version of the new E3 logo for quality/scaling reasons, but I haven't found any so far. We are still more than a month away from E3 2015 though, so a thread is perhaps a bit early, especially if the bingo should feature a prize of some sort.

Hell no. All the focus will be on Battlefront.
I would lose my shit. Bad Company 2 is my favorite online shooter game of all time by far.

Nah, they'll go all out for Battlefront. Maybe teasing BF5 though.
Sucker Punch, Media Molecule, and Insomniac were all independent at the times Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, and Resistance all released. And Insomniac is still independent as everyone knows.I want Sony to make a statement at E3 with their 1st Party developers.
I am pretty confident we'll see third / second party exclusives, but there is nothing like a "home town" developer showing off something fresh.
The PS3 era saw the creation of critically acclaimed new IP. People forget Sony forged together InFamous, Little Big Planet, Uncharted and Resistance within the first few years. It was quite an exciting time because it felt like the internal Sony teams could do no wrong.
The PS4 feels like we've gotten off on the wrong foot seeing as how Killzone Shadow Fall, Knack, Drive Club, and InFamous Second Son are more or less luke warm.
I want to see that spark shine on again from the 1st Party Teams. E3 is the best time to do it
Not that there's anything wrong with working with independent developers, your argument for in-house exclusives kind of falls apart with these facts.
I mean no offense, either. Just pointing it out!
I do agree with your overall point that Sony needs to show those in-house games already!
Bugs don't matter that much. Good design sure does though, and Ubisoft is even worse in that department.
.... Really?
In my book both go hand in hand

That and their awful combat design. I'll never understand the love for their RPG's.

Is Dice L.A or Dice Sweden making Battlefield 5? Dice Sweden currently has Battlefront and Mirrors Edge and I don't see how it's possible for Dice Sweden to make the game for fall of 2016.
Fallout 3 not using vats was pretty fun... Yet completely inefficient. Skyrim final boss is like a joke.
Now if they did skyrim in dragon's dogma combat.... Mind blown

I think DICE is becoming a bit like EA's own internal Ubisoft.
It doesnt really matter since all sides of the company touch every game they work on these days. They are all DICE games.
Bugs are a distraction. Design is the true core experience of what you do and where you go.
I usually ended up in Bug Town floating flailing limb team rocket.
What I did... LOOT ALL THE THINGS!

I'd take eight minutes of Powers over twenty plus minutes of VR. Just saying.
Really am not looking forward to the inevitable Morpheus demonstration headed our way.

The Dean makes various appearances as Tingle, Captain Falcon, Bayonetta and others.
Reggie plays some cool new student who joins the group.
It's gonna be a double whammy of Wonderbook 2 demoed for Project Morpheus.

In my humble opinion. Also don't call PS4/XB1 ports of existing games on PC/PS3/X360 "HD", they are already in HD.

Yeah, but development cycles is different for each studio.
I've already said this, but all of their studios delivered games in 2014, 2013, 2012. It isn't like they idle or something.
Their first-party output on PS3 was definitely amazing though. And on PS Vita it's been amazing as well.
