The doors may not open on E3 until 14th June, but the event as a whole is very much up and running. The first major publisher out of the gate with a streamed event is EA, with its broadcast dubbed 'EA Play'.
As there's anticipated to be zero Nintendo presence here we're directing you, our lovely readers, to our partner sites that are running the usual live blog and comments format for the event. If you're Team Sony then you can join in over at Push Square, while those of you in Team Microsoft should head over to the Pure Xbox coverage.
Much of the hype around this one will be focused on the new Battlefield, along with Titanfall 2. There'll also be sports, lots of sports.
Enjoy!

It would have nice to have a live chat here with fellow Nintendo fans and hear their take on the EA conference. Well, I'll head on down to Push Square and have a watch of it there.
So a drinking game based on Wii U and NX mentions isn't going to get me much of a buzz is it?
I'm doing yard work, better than watching that. I'll Chech out Sammys comments later.
@rjejr I could watch this, sure... kids are in bed and lunches are made for school tomorrow... or I could play Wii U exclusive B3 Game Expo For Bees! I'm doing the latter lol.
@crimsontadpoles Yeah i dont wanna switch sites...
Can i atleast use my Nintendolife login??? EDIT: yes i can
This is a Nintendo site. EA be damned!
@A01 Same!
I'd rather do an Oberyn.
Im watching on pushsquare!
But EA gave up on Nintendo years ago ...
Eh, the presentation is so fake. I guess I just don't have the stomach for this sort of thing anymore.
Definitely worth a watch - some of the games could be full price DLC-free poorly optimised NX launch titles. Nintendo fans, get excited!
Screw EA.
@peeks just for wii u.they re coming back to nx.not that I care screw ea
When I woke up this morning I was hoping some of the E3 sale discounts had leaked, but when I plugged "2016 Nintendo E3 D" into my phone browser it had the autocomplete suggestion of "2016 Nintendo E3 Disappointment"
I know I'm not super hyped internet browser but come on it hasn't even happened yet!
I haven't bought an EA game since Madden 2011(?)
Couldn`t be worse...
Horrible. It's just EA, though. One gets used to it.
The only fine game made by EA is Need For Speed - the original one - for psx.
No EA for NX !!!
Oh, sorry. Another fine game by them was Beetle Adventure Racing. Still playing.
That was a pretty mediocre way to kick off E3, though I wasn't really expecting much from EA anyway. I will say, however, that Battlefield 1 looks pretty cool as an epic World War 1 game, complete with blimps.
EA's conference is better than Nintendo's.
Yes, I said that.
I wish you hadn't reminded me
@Nintendude789 Better than Nintendo's, as in one we haven't seen yet?
@Nintendude789
Last year Nintendo`s, right ?
Nintendo fans hating on EA's conference, how surprising... I really don't know what people expect from EA, it's well know by now what type of games they make, so if you don't like them, don't whatch their conference.
pushsquare's user base not super impressed with this conference either apparently
Well, I watched to see if there might be a reason to pick up a PS4. The indie game looked promising and I quite liked FIFA 17 game footage, if not the cringeworthy intro. Otherwise, there were some interesting concepts, but nothing that made me desperate to purchase. I definitely fall into the same category as the 3Souls devs that talked about Nintendo games resonating best with them. I can appreciate from the sidelines, but not really my thing. Plenty more to come still.
@Phil_Kavadias And I can't argue with you either, your beard is superior to mine.
It was letdown but to be honest only thing i'm waiting to see from EA from this E3 is more BC games to EA access vault. Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 looked pretty good but there was no big surprises this year.
@MJKOP Are you playing the $10 version or the $5 version?
Took me a second to get the "buzz", well done.
Was pretty poor the Battlefield 1 one stuff was fun tho.
@rjejr lol it launched here for £2.99, I believe! I'm playing the free version though, @BarryDunne gave me a code! Thanks again!
