E3 2015

Well, I\'ve been approved for E3 2015. Let me know if you have anything you want asked or investigated.

Granted, it\'s January, but...

Waaaaay too early to tell.

All I care about nowadays is Nintendo in any case.

well didn't think anyone would start this thread that early but ok

On topic:

Probably old news to most but Bethesda is going to be holding its first e3 conference. It's going to be Sunday June 14th. 2 days before the show itself and 1 day before the usual conferences held by the other guys...

So the hype train seems to have left early.

I'll also be putting conference times in this post from the other companies as they are announced: COMPLETE SCHEDULE (as of 15/5) (though still subject to change)

• Bethesda: Sunday, June 14, 7 pm PT
• Microsoft: Monday June 15 9:30 am PT
• EA: Monday, June 15, 1 pm PT
• Ubisoft: Monday June 15 3 pm PT
• Sony: Monday June 15 6 pm PT
• Nintendo: Tuesday, june16, 9 am PT
• Square-Enix: Tuesday, June 16, 10 am PT
• PC: Tuesday, June 16, 5pm PT

Bethesda has their own conference this year?

Straight from the horse's mouth...

x3 If I had to guess Nintendo's conference will be Tuesday June 16th at 9:00 AM PDT (12:00 PM EDT) just because they had that timeslot every year since 2004.

They probably had it longer than that but that is as far back as I have been watching E3 Press Conferences.

Not so much 'conference' as a 'digital event', most likely followed up by Treehouse streaming games throughout, which worked gangbusters for them last year.

Speaking of which have any of the other major players expressed interest in doing livestreams throughout E3? That's probably the best Nintendo ever had and I think it would be nice if the others followed suit. Maybe then we'd actually see gameplay for some of these games.

I'm sure the other companies are giving it due consideration. If you really think about it, Nintendo didn't have THAT many games last year, but they used what they had to the fullest by giving us hours of live gameplay, which sells the games better than just a trailer.

And really, it's an idea that's pretty overdue.

The one downside was that every other hour was Splatoon. It was a cool game and all, but it was like...again?

Exactly. If they have a few more games this year, that will help a lot.

That was an issue but if everyone is doing streams this year then you can just switch over to someone else if the one you're watching gets boring.

Of course, Nintendo also had the Smash tournament last year, so let's see how they can whip up the crowd this year. It'll be a more even field.

Pokken tournament I bet.

Tee Hee.

"E3 2015: We're all doing streams! Wait, why do we need an event again?"

Trust me, it's more of an experience to be at the conferences in person. EA's last year had donuts and soda.

PINK DONUTS.

As for Bethesda, two words: Fallout 4.

I'm just playin'. The reason Nintendo's events worked well was because they had E3 as a backdrop.

Maybe they should do a concert of Nintendo music this year.

I kind of don't want everyone to do streams.

Last year Nintendo did great with streams but I didn't see anything else after the streams started.

Do I have to remind you? PINK DONUTS!

For once, I want to take someone who's never been to E3, to see people who actually enjoy it again.

Last year Square Enix had some nice streams with music, trailers, interviews and a few more things. It was very personal and well planned compared to Nintendo's stream which at the time was mostly waiting around for something that hadn't already been streamed for the last 3 hours.

I think Nintendo should do something big for this year, as it is the 30th anniversary of not only the NES, but Super Mario Bros. as well.

You'd think Nintendo would make something like Sonic Generations for Mario this year.

Who knows? Nintendo play their cards close to the chest. We probably don't know half of their e3 plans.

It would be cool though for the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. we got a re-release of Super Mario All-Stars on Wii.

Bethesda better have as the highlight of their conference this year news of a new Fallout or proper single-player Elder Scrolls game, not another MMORPG.

For a conference? Likelihood is high.
