Topic: The All-Encompassing E3 2014 Thread

The latest E3 floor plan.

^ Damn I was just about to post that.

Bad news for Nintendo, no Ubisoft games at E3 at all. I hope the Ubisoft rep misspoke.

"The delayed version of Watch Dogs is the only upcoming Ubisoft game on a Nintendo platform we know about.

Ubisoft's E3 2014 lineup won't feature any Nintendo games, according to the publisher.

"We won't be showing off any Nintendo games at E3 this year," a Ubisoft representative said. Currently, the company is slated to show off Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, and more announced and unannouced games at E3 2014.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot spoke last year about how the company was planning to still support the Wii U during the 2013 holiday season and would review their commitment to Nintendo's console after that.

Currently, the only upcoming game from Ubisoft for a Nintendo platform is the delayed release of Watch Dogs, which is expected, at best, this fall, months after the May 27 of Watch Dogs on other systems.

At E3 2011, Ubisoft teamed up with Nintendo for a special developer discussion focusing on Ubisoft's upcoming slate of Wii U titles, including Killer Freaks from Outer Space (which later became ZombiU) and the never-released Ghost Recon Online. The following E3, Ubisoft's press conference was one of the first public demonstrations of the near-final Wii U with demos of Rayman Legends, ZombiU, and Just Dance."

Looks pretty but a bit like a pretentious gears of war.

Forget browns, blacks are this generations new hotness.

IGN has a booth as big as Atlus???

I wonder who will be first to do something really embarrassing this time. Microsoft?

How many 3ds game announcements do you guys think will be made? I expect about 4.

Microsoft of course! First of all, they are Microsoft. Second, they are first anyway

So accurate

Never forget.

How so.

If we go back and watch last year's E3 Microsoft hands down showed more games than any of the big three. DRM aside they had the best showing of the conference.

Also Microsoft is really different company in the last year or so. Nadella, Spencer, Elop, Panos have been doing Somme good work on changing the face of the pridxut lines and being incredibly competitive on the software side of things.

Even as a PS4 owner last years sony's conference was pretty boring.

I think nintendo has the biggest chance of screwing up myself.

Favorite E3 gif so far

Half the fun of E3 is all the PR blunders and screw-ups on stage spawning jokes and memes galore. That's what I meant by them doing something really embarrassing, not that their conferences would suck as a whole.

And it speaks for just how bad the whole DRM fiasco was (the $499 price tag sure didn't help) when even with the line-up Microsoft had their E3 showing still crashed and burned.

Ordinarily, I would agree with you. Last year, Microsoft was hands down one of the stupidest companies in the world. Steve Balmer was just completely asinine.

However, I'm having a very difficult time seeing how Nintendo could screw this up. They simply have so much confirmed for this E3, as well as several games we know are in the works (EAD Tokyo's new game, Retro's new game, Intelligent System's new game, Pokken Fighters, and to a lesser extent S.T.E.A.M). As well as a few strong rumors (New Nintendo published mature game like Bayonetta 2, 3rd Party port for Wii U). There is also pretty much no expectation of a strong 3rd Party showing anymore, unlike last year when we still had a glimmer of hope

Also, Nintendo is in their second year of their system now; looking back over history, that tends to be the time when consoles really start getting games.

Oddly enough, I'd say Sony is the most likely to screw up at E3. They just have so much anticipation that it's likely to fizzle out.

Ah. Mt guess is ubiaoft or EA when they bring up a sports person. Last year Microsoft had the most technical blunders with battlefield freezing and no sound for crimson dragon.

I think we already established from Nintendo last year that the quality of the games have little to do with how effectively you sell to a mass audience or how good your conference is?

And really it was good 95% because of the first half. Sure Dead Rising 3 turned out to be good, but at the time that trailer looked like the most pathetic sellout of what was already an M rated zombie game and everything after that was mostly the type of impressive yet bland shooty stuff you expect.

Fils-A-Mech's body is ready.

If nothing stops the train, then does that mean Sony will crash and drown?

Well Nintendo have got the crash and burn covered so someone had to handle the drowning part.
