Seems to give me a link broken/page not found error.

Brian "Panda" Choi · Jun 2016

I think it might be because of a FB privacy issue for events that are not Public

If there's an issue, send me a FR and I'll toss you in!

Anyone down to hike up to Griffith Observatory the Sunday before?

PeterK · Jun 2016

Yeap, I'll be at the show. who else is going?

monster · Jun 2016

I'll be there and not showing any games this year so I'm free to hang.

PeterK · Jun 2016

Juan, I haven't spoken to you in like 12 years man

I still have some of your Poacher animations on my HDD !

beefaroni · Jun 2016

So the studio is having us all go Tuesday, so I'll see you all then!

Also I'll be on the hike on Sunday.

Melazee · Jun 2016

I'm in the wrong country!

Have a great time guys! I'll have to try to get over there one time for E3. I will however be vising Cali in September if anyone is up for meeting then. Bit late to the party though...!

Jerc · Jun 2016

I'll be roaming around the showfloor on Tuesday.

Azaraen · Jun 2016

Im going. ^^ My studio will also be going.

BTW, Panda your link is pretty broken.

Brian "Panda" Choi · Jun 2016

Made new event link. Closing the old one. This one should work since it's public.

Ahoburg · Jun 2016

I won't be going, but I'll watch all conferences and such live. I haven't missed a year since 2005. It's like second Christmas.

leleuxart · Jun 2016

Studio is letting us go on Wednesday. So I'll be around somewhere...

sziada · Jun 2016

Hype train full speed ahead

PixelMasher · Jun 2016

battlefield 1 MP live stream. this looks fun as hell.

RogerP · Jun 2016

Definitely looking good, great atmosphere!

pior · Jun 2016

Got confused for a second while watching the BF1 stream - turned out it was indeed who I thought it was.

Bethesda never fails to impress me man. Those dudes don't fuck around.

beefaroni · Jun 2016

This is all that matters now

aesir · Jun 2016

Oh man, the quake trailer gave me so much polycount themed nostalgia. This is the only shit people used to make on here!

leilei · Jun 2016

Props to the counters doing the Quake Champions. Being class-based though is definitely going to bring out the buttsalt from the loud q3 hermits though

Class based = no skill. C'mon, everyone knows that

Ged · Jun 2016

Quake aiming for overwatches crown?

Steve Schulze · Jun 2016

I do hope they include a pure deathmatch mode alongside their class based malarkey. If I'm honest, I'm mostly looking forward to seeing more current gen incarnations of the Quake 3 characters.

Anyway, how about that Dishonoured 2, eh.

YES!

skyline5gtr · Jun 2016

Really poor showing so far, most games have 0 gameplay

JedTheKrampus · Jun 2016

Hmm... if the new Quake has classes, what are the chances it also has a progression system and loadouts? *vomits hermitly*

The art looks real nice though.

ErichWK · Jun 2016

Is there no thread for all the E3 presentations? I always enjoy us posting while watching

Mstankow · Jun 2016

Nothing too exciting. I really liked the art and look of Dishonored 2. I never played the original and I am not sold on gameplay yet. I could play the first one and see if I like it though. Also, I'll probably buy a Scorpio when it comes out.

oglu · Jun 2016

a new XBOX..?

The Airship going down in BF1 multiplayer is a cool feature, (skip to 230)

PixelMasher · Jun 2016

wow. sony is destroying all the other conferences. Everyone should take note...this is how you do it. I didnt have to cringe once during the entire conference, it was all just trailers and more importantly, gameplay filled videos non stop. like 2 mins of salesman banter, the rest was just step back and show everything. I don't even have a ps4 and im on board with their plan.

Scizz · Jun 2016

Dude, Sony put in that work. I have that feeling like I just got done watching a really good movie.

dieselJunk · Jun 2016

They showed The Last Guardian and a solid looking date, pretty much sold me on a PS4. I've been waiting so long for that game!

I'm excited to see what Kojima is up to too. Something with an environmental twist, channeled through a bit of Kojima mentalism? I would love a bit of that. Guess we'll be waiting to see more though.

As an aside, anyone else bored to death of zombie games now? They've been non-stop since, what, sometime last gen?

JordanN · Jun 2016

Games,games,games,games. Another game? More games. A game for a game.

That's how E3 should be, and always be.

PolyHertz · Jun 2016

Yep, Sony did a really good job.
The God of War presentation was especially good, what with them having the orchestra play the music live during it (I bet most people watching the video stream didn't even realize it).

MrHobo · Jun 2016

Apparently the Resident Evil demo is on PSNn later tonight if you have playstation plus. I dont know what time it goes live... but Im going to be refreshing all night.

Swizzle · Jun 2016

I can FINALLY show people what we've been working on.

Mstankow · Jun 2016

That Spiderman game does look pretty sweet.

ZacD · Jun 2016

Beard graphics have really improved over the last few years.

beefaroni · Jun 2016

Titanfall 2 looks on point but I think my favorite two upcoming games will be..

QFT..
What would be cool though.. (@ aesir ) a new era of custom quake models. This would be so gorgeous..

claydough · Jun 2016

seems like there isnt as much VR emphasis. I was hoping for some surprise secret projects/genre defining announcements.

@ beefaroni:
Excited as well over detroit ( considering Quantic Dream is involved, I am glad to see kara made it into the final game )...

notman · Jun 2016

There was so much win, during the Sony conference. I was hoping for a couple more things to be announce, but I guess it isn't time yet. Particularly, Last of Us 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
I loved almost every game they presented though, and had a few surprises

PolyHertz · Jun 2016

I was really impressed by how faithful the Skylanders reimagining of Crash was. Really top notch work; http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/06/13/skylanders-imaginators-crashing-into-skylands/

Not sure if anyone who worked on it is around here, but if so, props to you guys!

Were you expecting a brand new RE that fully supports VR start to finish?

Sony also confirmed like 3 other VR titles.
Then Ubisoft devoted stage time to a VR star trek game and that flight game was on stage as well. Considering that only 1 major console maker is officially throwing themselves in the VR ring Id say there was a healthy VR presence this year on stage.

praetus · Jun 2016

I will say after watching these streams that my most hated thing is when the camera cuts from gameplay or trailer footage to a wide shot of the crowd. I will never say "ooooohhhhhhhh, the CROWD!" I don't care about the people watching, just gimme the games. Looking at microsoft specifically. Although Sony seemed to have the best ratio of dudes talking to gameplay footage shown. Also, Microsoft announcing a new system only to follow it up with a better system coming out later has been the most WTF choice in my head. I don't have an XBox One but I sure as hell am not buying one now. If anything I'll wait until Scorpio comes out if ever.

Excited for Mass Effect, Spider-Man, and God of War the most so far.
