I'm just hoping R* steals the show with GTA before E3.

 

[darthviper107]

I thought they weren't going to be talking about GTAV?

 

[ZaCHw117]

Not at E3. R* is too high of class.

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

There was a rumor that R* would be announcing a release date for GTAV

I'm excited to hear more about Tomb Raider and the new game by Naughty Dog.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Tomb Raider looks awesome. Sad that it got pushed back.

 

[kingellesar]

Yeah Tomb Raider looks quite good, a shame it got pushed back and I hope it doesn't suffer another setback.

Konami E3 Press Conference Livestream

In a weird timeslot, Konami will air their press conference tonight, well technically Friday at 10:30PM PST,1:30AM EST, and that'd make UK time about 6:30AM I believe.

“Konami’s annual Pre-E3 show is a chance to highlight the incredible titles that will make their debut at E3,” said Konami Europe president Shinji Hirano.

“We have an incredible array of titles this year, and the Pre-E3 Show will give fans an early glimpse of what we have in store.”

Last year’s pre-recorded conference featured the announcement of the Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders HD Collection, plus a ton more.

The conference is expected to shed more light on Metal Gear Rising, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 and Zone of the Enders HD Collection, as well as the expected Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and maybe a touch on Kojima’s Project Ogre and Enders Project.

They'll be at E3. No one knows if they'll be showing a game or just something related to Unreal Engine 4.

I updated the list of exhibitors and games.

I heard they are working on a new gears game

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I hope its not a prequeal and I hope whatever it is there doing its for the next xbox.

I think it is a prequel. the majority of the last couple books have had a lot of flashbacks to the pendulum wars and E day

I heard they are working on a new gears game

Yes, I didn't know that yesterday.

I'm not really sure what they show today, but I do know that my body is ready.

 

[plasmid303]

Today's Pre-E3 show focused on the new controller, of which some details had leaked about a couple weeks ago. Highlights:

Wii-U controller officially named the "Wii-U Gamepad"
Clickable full analogue sticks
redesigned front and back
Functions as a universal tv-remote as well as a game controller
Hint/guide system will be implemented into the Gamepad.
Camera in Gamepad enables video calls and video chat.
Black Wii-U seen during stream
MiiVerse online social hub
Nintendo Wii-U social app for phones

 

[ZaCHw117]

mmmmmmMEH.

 

[daytimeninja]

Let's hope Nintendo impresses.

 

[darthviper107]

Rumor is, a new thing for Xbox 360 is the ability to use a mobile device with you games, somewhat in a way as you'd use the Wii U controller, but probably more basic, like having a minimap rather than having motion control interaction. Also possible option would be to stream games to the mobile device in a similar way to OnLive.

Guess we'll find out later today.
