Another Konami pre-E3 conference, huh? It'd be nice if they had some good Castlevania news.
Aside from that... hopefully the Microsoft and Sony conferences will showcase some great PC games so that Nintendo and indie devs aren't the only thing I'm looking forward to this next year.

FYI - Microsoft's retail stores in the US will be streaming their announcement live in the store, and the first 25 people to attend will receive a 3 Month Xbox Live Gold Card.

So if you live near one, you might want to attend. You can find the store locations at their web site: microsoftstore.com

Nintendo will provide more 'wows' than the rest. Sony revealing the PS4's shell will be something to look forward to along with some games for the currently barren Vita..

In a show where EA, Ubisoft and Konami (give or take) are all showing their wares I am not sure Nintendo will unquestioningly beat out everybody. Now it has been a while since most of their big franchises have had a proper entry and many already have proper entries looming, to say nothing of Nintendo almost being obligated to respond to the universal cry of "no games gaems", so I could see something happen, doubly so if they actually do the "we are not at E3" thing correctly (for all that some people moan everybody does really need to address business and not necessarily game type things somewhere).

On the shell thing I guess that is an aesthetics thing unless they completely screw up and add the dvd slot at the back of the console or something. Of course if people get excited by the colours of a console (broadly speaking someone throws a different bit of dye in the plastic mixer) so I guess it is one of those things I just do not get.


I did not know about the Microsoft store thing though (though to be fair I did not know there was such a thing as a Microsoft store).

Its probably Retro's new game that has built the hype for Nintendo's conference, along with the teased showing of the the new Smash Bros. I think Sony made a good move refraining from showing the console, it certainly built more hype towards the actual E3 conference, with that said it not possible for it to look worse than the Xbox One.

Konami aka MGS5 (which I am hyped as shit for) and bad Castlevania games.

Microsoft is just eh I'm going with the PS4 anyway.

FUCK EA WORSE THAN HITLER RAARRRRGHHH. Well if they have Mass Effect 4 or Dragon Age III I'll be interested.

Ubisoft, probably like Assassin's Creed and Rayman a bit, if we're lucky MAYBE Far Cry 4 (there was a rumor it was in the works). Kinda want an Assassin's Creed Vita announcement but that feels more suited for the Sony conference.

Sony, the big one for me, basically excited for everything.

Nintendo, couldn't care less.

But of course the best part of E3 is the reactions of GBAtemp being assholes about everything and just bitching and moaning about gaming when all you get are new game announcements poured on top of you.

I hope the PS4 has no features that will kill it on arrival like the Xbox One, I still have to go in with a sense of pessimism until it is confirmed it has none of these features.

Nintendo being the most voted is at least ironic.
If Nintendo decided to divide it's E3 conference into two small conferences and a Nintendo Direct, that indicate they don't have much to show.
Aside that, Sony still have to unveil PS4, and there are tons of info about PS4 and X1 that will probably be released on E3, especially games,
something WiiU is struggling to have.

But that's GBATemp anyway :P

Microsoft and Nintendo said they were backing off of E3 in favor of their own conferences while Sony said they're going all out. My bet would be in Sony even though I like Nintendo better.

Also, I'm goin.

Nintendo's main "conference" direct was said to be an hour long, which is the same length as the E3 presentation they had last year.

So how does that mean they have less to show?

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.

    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
