[gokujr1000]

Damn seems I can't watch it live seeing I live in Australia, I hope this is put on youtube or something...

IGN's is best IMO, they adapt the bitrate according to your connection speed, plus they record it so you can watch it afterwards (for a couple of weeks). Also, seems they're the only ones including some Electronic Arts conference on at 2PM PDT (whether that'll be worth watching I'll let you decide).

EDIT: Also, I'd like to point out Microsoft's conference now starts 5 minutes earlier than scheduled for some late special addition.

QUOTEI'm only excited for Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Brink (new Bethesda game). Nothing else caught my eye.

Mm, those are looking like the best games of the show IMO, though I'm keeping my eyes out for Alan Wake and HL2:Ep.3, those could obviously be very good. A Fable 2 PC announcement wouldn't go amiss, but Microsoft are ignoring the PC so much lately it seems even if it is announced, it won't be during their press conference.

I wanted to watch the Microsoft conference but I'm gonna be bowling.
Gonna watch what Nintendo has to offer though, and to watch Sony fail.

 

[Hop2089]

There may not be many games I'm looking for at E3 but I'll watch the Nintendo and Sony Conferences, Microsoft doesn't deserve my support. I guess if I'm looking for games I want I'll have to wait until September for the TGS.

I'm looking forward to any FFXIII footage.

Typical, the conference is going to start 15 mins after BTs speed cap kicks in.

Anyone know if anyone will cap this and release it? I wouldn't mind seeing it.

 

[raulpica]

Gotta watch the MS one now and the Nintendo one tomorrow

Now let's see what MS has in store for us

Crap, Gamespot sucks! No stream for now. Gonna try IGN!

 

[Brian117]

Yeah, Gamespots is going like...snail slow for me right now. WAY too much traffic. Trying IGN now also.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

and now IGN is going snail slow. And it keeps crashing FireFox for me...way to go IGN..

 

[raulpica]

They're now presenting... Rockband: The Beatles.

 

[Master Mo]

IGN has good speed but for me has only sound on the left speaker...

 

[Brian117]

This freaking sucks man.

Oh here...IGN is just finally loading the banner on their page. Yay...

EDIT: Got in on G4tv.com

 

[GeekyGuy]

All the sites are failing for me. Even GameTrailers, who is the official E3 Insider, won't load. Terrible preparations. With all the time they had to perfect things in advance, there's so much fail happening on their part.

 

[raulpica]

This one works magic for me:

[Brian117]

I got it on Gamespot now since justintv wasn't working,

Try it now guys.

And so Tony Hawk's Ride copied the Balance Board, shaping it up like a skateboard.

EDIT: Seems really different, actually. More "skateboard-like". Not bad.

Got the same with Sky now, if this was on in an hour then all would be well.

Wish I could get Virgin here, had no problems with them and they didn't ring me up all the time selling me shit.

I'm just watching it now, it's actually streaming pretty well at 50k/s. There's some frame skipping going on but it's watchable, might be worth you giving it a try just in case. Just watching the Modern Warfare 2 stuff, fucking outstanding looking game!

 

[Hadrian]

lol just realised I'm downloading at 2mb per sec...I'm such a dick.

Pretty good for me now.

First time I've seen anything from FF13 (lost interest after 11) and it looks sweet but that chocobo looks out of place.

 

[raulpica]

Congrats, MS's E3 Sound Technichians, you just screwed up with the mics :/

 

[TrolleyDave]

Loving that dudes Bill Gates T-Shirt!

Yeah I'm the same with the FF games, I hated 7 and 8, really enjoyed 9 but hated 10 and haven't played any since. They're more like films then games now, with ridiculously long cut scenes and stupidly long battle animations.
