Think the UFC deal was the only new franchise to EA

Yeah its too late this gen to launch a new ip, surely this time next year we won't be hearing too much about the 360 or PS3

I foresee EA having an absolutely massive roster for the UFC game.Hopefully they'll include retiree's and legends aswell.

I know we are only two conferences in ...

But nothing new has been announced. I miss the days of e3 when a new title would just come out of no-where.

Everything gets revealed 1-2 weeks before e3 now.

Yeah, even Sonys 2 new IP exclusives have been announced.

No sleeper hit this year from the looks of it. Unless something good is hidden behind closed doors on the show floor.

Exactly what I thought. Would love if they went back to the Underground series.

Nah, always preferred Burnout to NFS. Probably won't buy it since it looks far too similar, but always nice to see

Not happy with EA buying UFC, Their MMA game wasn't great.

It was better than UFC 3.Well the physics were at least.The engine of the UFC game was old and clunky.

EA's one was far superior to the UFC one,I think thats the general concensus anyway

ShaneU

Well I hated it

Star Lord

Fingers crossed for more on Beyond Good and Evil 2 from Ubisoft!

Isn't that on the next gen now so I wouldn't expect to see it this year but I hope it'll turn up next year.

Yeah, they said it was for next gen. They may show something though.

Damnit, I'd forgotten about that. >_<
Maybe just a teaser for it. Or maybe it'll be shown for Wii U as the other consoles aren't ready for reveals yet.

Maybe we might get a surprise ps4 announcement. Would be so awesome if they did that after Microsoft's fail

Doubt it unless they do like Nintendo did last year, where they show something this year and more next year. Wouldn't be surprised if they do something to try to ensure Nintendo don't get too much attention this year.

not gonna happen

expect lots and lots of cloud related stuff though

I've been out all day and just catching up on the news so far. I have to say I am a little underwhelmed.

I will certainly buy the new Gears of War game and the new Need For Speed game. I really liked Hot Pursuit from Criterion so hopefully this will be as good or better.

Nothing else I've seen so far has me excited. I'm not a Halo fan so the trailer didn't do much for me. Also the whole Xbox SmartGlass isn't that interesting so far. Talking about how you can continue to watch a film on your Xbox after watching on a tablet isn't that groundbreaking really.

Hopefully the other conferences will have some good stuff.

CastorTroy

I'd say the only way we'd get a PS4 announcement is if MS announced their next console. So as long as MS feel they don;t need to, even with their pretty weak show, then Sony won't feel the need to with a larger number of exclusives expected

oh id be in good company haha

it seems the done thing these days. ive seen guys video entire conferences on their ipads before. i might ditch the dictaphone since i can just pull everything up online after the event. it's mostly just for interviews. technically it's not even a dictaphone - it's a nokia n95 :P

Helix

green lazer scanner's doing its thing again

richymcdermott

Only game i cared for so far are tomb raider and epic mickey 2
Tomb raider kinda annoyed me the direction they went but i hope thats just the combat and hope there be platforming and puzzles or i be seriously pissed

Was about to ask, did it have those wee tapes and all. Very old school. It's actually a TalkBoy. :P

It seems EA weren;t showing and Wii U covers in their trailers, so if Ubisoft are the same then it's probably due to NDAs even though we know Assassin's Creed 3 is due on the Wii U.

Isn't there a Nintendo/Ubi closed door conference after Ninty's tomorrow?

Hoping for big things from the Vita but aside from that don't think there'll be anything to get excited about. We're in dire need of a new generation of consoles now and fourth and fifth games in tired series can't mask that.

nintendo have a metric ton of different conferences going on in the next 3 days. main one is tomorrow morning, then theres a dedicated hands on for both wii u and 3ds titles, then there's a couple of side conferences going on with third party guys. i have a feeling tomorrow will be a real make or break for nintendo

itll be no different with the next generation. the public are to blame for not supporting original titles with their cash

Forget about it and focus on the most important question this year at E3


Will there be a New retro Boulder Dash game in the next year??????????????

Helix

about to start so im off to twitter/facebook. takes too long to post here

anyone interested can follow @clickmagazine for my miserable attempts at being witty and informative at the same time

Gunmonkey

So...Ubisoft....ugh. Recent E3 conferences have made me very wary. But they do have Splinter Cell (already shown at the MS conf), Assassins Creed 3 (probably at the Sony one like recent E3's) and possibly Rayman Legacy.

WolfForager

I'll be watching it anyway, staying up for the Sony one so may as well. Will probably have Community on in the background though.

Star Lord

Gonna watch the Ubi one and then off to bed, so by body is Reggie ready for work followed by Nintendo's conference tomorrow!

CastorTroy

Hoping for a new Prince of Persia.

Captain Chaos

Oh ffs!!!

Professey Chin

Bad start.....

WolfForager

Oh for **** sake....

Another dancing game zzzzzzz

Otacon

EA get Usher, Ubi get Flo Rida.

Ominous start...

titan18

Well, it can't get worse at least
