It kicks off tonight, Konami style, very late and not at E3 at all!



There is a pre-E3 Nintendo press conference happening Sunday at 6PM EST. You should be able to watch it here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_d.../en/index.html

Monday, June 4 (all times Pacific)

Microsoft - 9:30 AM
Electronic Arts - 1:00 PM
Ubisoft - 3:00 PM
Sony - 6:00 PM

Tuesday, June 5 (all times Pacific)

Nintendo - 9:00 AM

All six conferences should be streamed live at G4TV.com and at gametrailers.com. They'll probably be available on their respective websites as well.

Spike TV will air the Microsoft, Sony and EA conferences on their network.

Mod note:
Same rules apply as every year. People tend to get ultra defensive about their system of choice, attacks fly and things can get ugly. I'd like to make it through this years E3 without having to suspend someone for the week, but if attacks happen, E3 week suspensions will happen too. In this, I want to make sure that all of us are vigilent about it. If you see something that's an attack, report it - and us mods will look into it and pass judgment (both on your delicate senses, and the reported post.)

Consider this your first, 2nd and final warning - console bashing, fanboy rage, and personal attacks aren't going to be tolerated. Chill the fuck out, take a deep breath - and enjoy the fact that we have some awesome systems to play games on.

I'll probably be going to the convention for one of the days.

Michael Corvin

After every company spilling the beans a week early last year I was kinda hoping for some big news this week. Kind of a let down so far.

chuckd21

But Star Wars! And Ubisoft will be showing Rocksmith!

chuckd21

Wait, Sony is showing EverQuest?

E Unit

All Konami signs on Facebook point to another Castlevania game in addition to the new Metal Gear.

edstein

That one caught my eye as well. Crazy.

argh923

Is SimCity a remake or something?

chuckd21

A re-imagining. The SimCity.

argh923

I loved SimCity growing up, so I'm pretty curious about this.

discostu1337

I recorded some gameplay for a new title today for the Sony press conference and show floor videos. Should be exciting to see it all edited together

MasterofDVD

Every year I get excited about the news E3 will bring us. Then in the week or two leading up to the show it seems so many reveals are leaked or intentionally done that I am left will far less to be excited about.

PopcornTreeCt

I'd really like to see more about GTAV. I want to see less about Assassin's Creed III because I don't want to be spoiled.

This just hit my must have games in 2013. Looks fucking awesome!

wlj

i have never given a crap about the Metal Gear franchise, but you can sign me up for that game. it looks awesome, right up my alley.

chuckd21

Looks like the key to getting me to care about Metal Gear was to give the series to Platinum Games.

Groucho

Seriously, though...are ANY AAA titles still coming out in 2012?

chuckd21

Madden
Call of Duty
Borderlands 2
Halo
Assassins Creed
Medal of Honor

E Unit

Kedrix

No, unfortunately the Mexican wrestling title did not do as well as they had hoped.

chuckd21

I added a bunch of known release dates to the second post.

orangecrush

Obviously you haven't seen D3's lineup.

beavis69

I love Metal Gear, but that looks terrible to me.

I'm hoping for some good vita announcements. This system deserves some good games and I'm hoping someone starts delivering soon

Schloob1

By chance does anyone know whether the company shows will be broadcast online on Spike's website? I imagine it would be on G4, but for sure I will not be able to watch that at work. Obviously I can get updates here, and see the XBox one on the dashboard later that night, just wondering.
