Looking to see stuff on Wildlands, Battlefield 1, where Destiny is going, and The Division DLC and future plans.

Really looking forward to seeing Mass Effect Andromeda and Cyberpunk 2077. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

I was looking forward to Bethesda's conference as I was anticipating an announcement of an additon to the Elder Scrolls series, but it looks like a Skyrim remaster will be coming to Xbox One and PS4 (likely with mod support similar to Fallout 4). Kind of bummed because I already own it on PC where I can already give the game a "remaster" look and feel and apply any mods I want. I guess I can still hope for more.

I'm curious to see Nintendo's "open world" Zelda game which they, from the sound of it, plan to dedicate a good chunk of their stage time to demo it. Square Enix also has a few RPGs in their lineup that I've been interested in: "I Am Setsuna" and the mobile game "Brave Exvius".

EA, all hype little to no content / announcements. It was nice to see some mass effect gameplay but man I was hoping for more.

I agree it was lacking. I completely forgot about the new Mass Effect game, so I was excited when they started talking about it, and then I was disappointed after they finished talking about it. Battlefield 1 looks pretty cool though. They're about to do a 1 hour live stream of Battlefield, so I can get a look into what the gameplay will be like.

Wouldn't mind seeing something on RDR remaster or RDR 2.

Dishonored 2 looked great

Agreed definitely caught my attention

I was surprised Dishonered 2 was their spotlight game. I might get it, but judging by the release date, that's when a sh1t ton of other games release. So I might not get around to it.

I thought the Microsoft event went over well. I thought the Minecraft presentation could have been shorter and less cheesy and the Final Fantasy 15 demo was just someone getting the sh1t beat out of them by Titan. Those would be my main complaints. I like where they're going with the share play or whatever they're calling it, where I can buy a game on Xbox One and be able to play it on Windows 10, and be able to play with people on the opposite device. I didn't really express much interest in many of the games that were shown, but I liked the features that Microsoft is adding for Xbox One.

I would love to play Halo Wars 2 on my PC. However I don't see how a RTS is going to be far with a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller.

well if the new xbox spec's are true its going to be one hell of a console i am sure a matching price tag as well but ill be down for it


waiting to see what sony has for its ps4k i like when 2 companys fight it out over us in the end better for us gamers

Sea of thieves anyone?

Ya looks good to me. They made it look real fun for sure

Playstation had a nice event. A lot of single player games I'm interested in playing.

I was more in favor of Sony's event this year. It's probably because single player RPGs are the genre that interest me most. They have some good looking games lined up. I may have to think about getting a PS4 again... I plan to build a new PC before that though...

When I saw the mannequins in the RE7 trailer I was like "Nope" and proceeded to take my headset off and switch my browser to another tab. lol.

I was not impressed.

YES! PIRATES!

I had IGNs recording of their coverage from Monday running in the background on my computer at work today. Couldn't watch any of the actual vendor segments, so I just skipped around and listened to the before and after coverage. I would have liked some coverage from today, but I didn't have a lot of time to look.

While the Skyrim remaster sounds good, I don't want to put the money into it when I can just play ESO. DLC for the Division sounds good and since there's only 7% of the original players still playing I'm hoping there will be less and less cheaters and trolls around.

I thought it was interesting to see MS reveal the XB1 Slim and then to hear like 65-70% of people say they won't get one because the new Xbox console will probably be out Holiday 2017. However, while I don't really have an urge to get an XB1, I'd probably go that route if I did.

I'll have to try and catch some of the trailers and gameplay video after the show is over. Kinda bummed that my store didn't get tickets. Some motivation to start kicking up sales and trade in programs to possibly get the nod next year.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any live or more current podcasts that broadcast from or during E3?

youtube gaming and twitch both are streaming it

I told myself I would focus on The Division and pick up No Man's Sky and Wildlands when they came out. That's it. But now Deus Ex and Watch Dogs 2 look amazing. Battlefield 1. I'm going to have to rethink the gaming budget now.

God of war 4 got me hyped wildlands is a buy such as the telltale games of batman and walking dead season 3. Death stranding looks interesting I want more info that might be a buy for me. I am also a fan of resident evil it looked OK I guess to me it looked more like a silent hill game.

That trailer for Death Stranding was interesting. Intriguing. Chances are it won't be my type of game but I am curious to see what its all about.
