    Maybe we might get a surprise ps4 announcement. Would be so awesome if they did that after Microsoft's fail

    Doubt it unless they do like Nintendo did last year, where they show something this year and more next year. Wouldn't be surprised if they do something to try to ensure Nintendo don't get too much attention this year.

    I've been out all day and just catching up on the news so far. I have to say I am a little underwhelmed.

    I will certainly buy the new Gears of War game and the new Need For Speed game. I really liked Hot Pursuit from Criterion so hopefully this will be as good or better.

    Nothing else I've seen so far has me excited. I'm not a Halo fan so the trailer didn't do much for me. Also the whole Xbox SmartGlass isn't that interesting so far. Talking about how you can continue to watch a film on your Xbox after watching on a tablet isn't that groundbreaking really.

    Hopefully the other conferences will have some good stuff.

    I'd say the only way we'd get a PS4 announcement is if MS announced their next console. So as long as MS feel they don;t need to, even with their pretty weak show, then Sony won't feel the need to with a larger number of exclusives expected

    oh id be in good company haha

    it seems the done thing these days. ive seen guys video entire conferences on their ipads before. i might ditch the dictaphone since i can just pull everything up online after the event. it's mostly just for interviews. technically it's not even a dictaphone - it's a nokia n95 :P

    green lazer scanner's doing its thing again


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,447 ✭✭✭richymcdermott

    Tomb raider kinda annoyed me the direction they went but i hope thats just the combat and hope there be platforming and puzzles or i be seriously pissed

    Was about to ask, did it have those wee tapes and all. Very old school. It's actually a TalkBoy. :P

    It seems EA weren;t showing and Wii U covers in their trailers, so if Ubisoft are the same then it's probably due to NDAs even though we know Assassin's Creed 3 is due on the Wii U.

    Isn't there a Nintendo/Ubi closed door conference after Ninty's tomorrow?

    Hoping for big things from the Vita but aside from that don't think there'll be anything to get excited about. We're in dire need of a new generation of consoles now and fourth and fifth games in tired series can't mask that.

    nintendo have a metric ton of different conferences going on in the next 3 days. main one is tomorrow morning, then theres a dedicated hands on for both wii u and 3ds titles, then there's a couple of side conferences going on with third party guys. i have a feeling tomorrow will be a real make or break for nintendo

    itll be no different with the next generation. the public are to blame for not supporting original titles with their cash

    So...Ubisoft....ugh. Recent E3 conferences have made me very wary. But they do have Splinter Cell (already shown at the MS conf), Assassins Creed 3 (probably at the Sony one like recent E3's) and possibly Rayman Legacy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    I'll be watching it anyway, staying up for the Sony one so may as well. Will probably have Community on in the background though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Gonna watch the Ubi one and then off to bed, so by body is Reggie ready for work followed by Nintendo's conference tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,220 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Hoping for a new Prince of Persia.
