This is the permanent Steam Group so we don't have to keep making one each year.
[b]What is E3?[/b]
If you don't know what E3 is, then E3 is short for Electronic Entertainment Expo, it is an Expo held every year around May-June, thought it has been staying in June lately. Big companies such as Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony and EA announce new games and sometimes new consoles.
[b]How long left till E3 Starts?[/b]

[B]RUMORS[/B]
Crash Bandicoot Returns

(Most likely fake as the text, logo and rating are tilted a bit.)
So discuss E3, share bingo cards, news, leaks and rumors (which may end up in the OP).
If you have a mumble, teamspeak, skype, google hangout, or anything like that, feel free to PM me (I suggest to PM me so I can link it here) and post it in the thread so people who wants to hang out with other FPers at E3 can.
I asked some friends if I should make the thread this early or not and while some said no, I decided to make one either when a big rumor happens (in this case, Crash Bandicoot) or the same time as last year, 25th of May.

I just want fallout news, no matter how bad it might be.
Valve making games? Ha ha ha
Holy shit that new Wii U icon is sexy
I'm severely doubting that Crash pic is real. Naughty Dog is too busy making "mature games" like Uncharted 4. Also I'm pretty sure the devs for Crash left ND a while ago.
If L4D3 is announced I'm so gonna cream myself.
L4D3 would be nice, but if im dreaming about a Valve #3 it would still need to be half life :/
I dont look forward to E3 anymore though because i know pretty much every game that looks promising will be dragged down by an excessive amount of paid dlc and other money grabbing microtransactions
seeing that crash image in the op just makes me think of last year, and the 'dishonored II' image that everyone was convinced was legit.
meanwhile in things i actually am hyped about land, i am certain that [I]this will be the year[/I] we get a new ace combat game, maybe with morpheus support?
i mean, bamco posted this:

and they have an unannounced game for the 'simulation' category, which is what AC falls into. pls.

Oh boy, maybe we'll get to see a cheaper, "alternative" Wii U controller. With a turbo switch!
[editline]18th May 2015[/editline]
Also, Valve isn't even on the exhibition list

Things I want:
Kingdom Hearts 3
Alan Wake 2
[QUOTE=Ricenchicken;47747230]Things I want:

Yes to both of these, at least a release date for KH3, or release window rather.
As for a formal Alan Wake 2 announcement, I'd love it. Seeing the canned footage made me realize how much I really enjoyed the first one and how much improvements to it could really be made. Maybe it'll happen and they'll make something that blows us out of the water. But until QB is out I doubt they'll even announce anything.
Where's Half-Life 3 damnit
crash, something with source 2, and kh3 is my wishlist
seriously, the sony conference could consist of some trembling old man coming on stage, mumbling "crash... level format... uh spin attack and sliding... SONICS ASS" and it would be an instabuy
I wonder what the big trend will be this year i.e. tablet companion apps and 'oh shit there's another player, it's multiplayer or something' moments
[editline]18th May 2015[/editline]
My highlight last year was the GTA V next-gen announcement. A Fallout 4 announcement will probably be required for this year to beat it
I'm hoping for more wacky Nintendo shenanigans. The robot chicken thing last year was great.
always at high hopes for nintendo
I don't know if it's possible for Ubisoft to put on a good show this year. No matter what they show, no one will believe it
I hope Bethesda shows off a new engine. I'm also half-expecting a Dishonored Remaster or Sequel. I feel like this is a critical time for Valve to announce something and regain some of their lost goodwill.
It could go either way with Valve IMO, it would help sweep up those PR storms and give them a good Steambox/Vive launch title but they might be able to subsist on those alone until next year. I wouldn't get too hyped.
Can't wait for my yearly cringefest with laughter/buzzwords in it.
And oh, maybe some game announcements
Im kinda excited for Crash bandicoot
I can usually make predictions that turn out to be true but this year I'm pretty clueless.
Nintendo won't talk about the NX, mobile games or Zelda, so we'll probably see StarFox and hopefully Pokken Tournament gets announced for Wii U.
Microsoft promised new IPs and exclusives, which probably includes that secret Rare game, Halo 5, Scalebound and Crackdown.
Sony, no fucking clue. Probably still no Vita games, Uncharted 4, and trailers for their movie adaptations?
The PC show could be interesting just for Doom, Unreal Tournament, and probably Overwatch. Twitch shooters are back, baby!
Please be Fallout 4 and PLEASE be on a new engine
The HUGE EPIC BATTLE at the end of skyrim was like 10 chucklefucks in a field taking turns hitting each other and repeating the same lines
Hoping for Doom showcase and (crossing my fingers) Serious Sam 4 announcement. Also I'd like to see some Dishonored 2 too. Oh and maybe they'll show Deus Ex HD gameplay.
Fallout 4
Doom 4
Serious Sam 4
Playstation 4
Deus Ex 4(?)
Year of fours baby, come on let's do this.
[QUOTE=smurfy;47747335]I don't know if it's possible for Ubisoft to put on a good show this year. No matter what they show, no one will believe it[/QUOTE]
Hopefully they'll reveal Watchdogs 2.
That'd be a fitting last nail for the coffin.
I seriously think Valve should put out Left 4 Dead 3. It's a great crowd pleasing game, and even though zombies are played out as flying fuck Left 4 Dead is so good you could replace them with cows and it'd still be a great game.
Although I'd be worried how they'd inievitably work microtransactions into it.

I wouldn't really be any more worried about it than any other company tbh. The micro transaction stuff didn't work out for portal 2 so it'll probably be ignored in left 4 dead 3.
Hell, worse case scenario, we've got some weapon skins.
I'll be out of country during that week, most likely without Internet access. Enjoy E3 I guess.
