What I would really like to see is zero pre-rendered cutscenes, since they really mean nothing. The best E3 demos I remember are the Zelda Twilight Princess one in 2006 (just a guy playing a dungeon and showing Wii controls), The Last of Us (just 5-10 minutes from the middle of the game) and Watchdogs (same again).

This. A pre rendered trailer essentially tells us nothing about a game, except maybe a tiny snippet of its story, whatever. The best trailers or demos are the ones with gameplay, hence why I always like the call of duty demos at the MS conference.

Another ten minutes of gameplay from the division will be keep me going for another year.

Looks like we are into the time-frame where everything gets 'leaked' BEFORE e3.

That's what I miss about e3 from say a decade ago Stuff would actually debut at the event. Not online a week or two before hand. Also made watching the Sony, Microsoft etc press conferences more fun.

Twitch have their schedule up which includes a number of unannounced games

Assuming by "unannounced" it doesn't just mean they haven't said what game they'll show in that slot, we'll get loads of new announcements at E3

CastorTroy

You won't be up past 1. It's on at 12:30. Can watch it while taking your teeth out and removing your toupee.

it's one of those newer ones that you can sleep in actually, a revelation in hair simulation technology.

There better be something from Bioware on the next Mass Effect title or I will lose my junk. I am literally obsessed with Mass Effect right now. This hasn't happened to me since I was a teenager.

Nintendo Event is the one I'm waiting for.
I have a feeling it'll either give hope or dash it for the current WiiU console.

Yup, same here, other than the new Uncharted and maybe a new Bioshock, its all about Nintendo.

I totally want the Gamecube VC to be announced at e3 with Luigi's Mansion 1 as the launch title for it during this Summer, then an announcement for Lugi's Mansion 3 for the Wii U for Xmas. And I want them to announce DLC for MK8.

cloud493

I'd say its almost certain we'll see Gamecube VC games. Bit odd to do a special gamecube controller just for smash bros otherwise.

readyletsgo

Yeah thats what I thought. I guess its all about the adapter for the GC controller, which most of us have, wavebirds ftw.

God, I wish they just stayed with the GC controlller for the Wii and then the Wii U and just updated it. Although, I'm using the Pro controller for MK8, its super effective.

Generic Dreadhead

I would give my left nut for a new F-Zero, give how Mario Kart Wii-U looks/plays.

Would like to see some
Arkham Knight
Far Cry 4
Something/anything Civ Beyond Earth or X-Com Related
A New Zelda thats not cartoony
Uncharted 4
Mass Effect MMO

Star Lord

Actually, are the triggers on the Pro Controller analogue, like the GC triggers were?

Tipsy McSwagger

New Zelda for WiiU
Half Life 3
Fallout 4
Shenmue 3

No , digital.
Thats why people are thinking Nintendo are gonna announce a VC for the Gamecube games at e3 since they announced an adapter for the Gamecube Controller to play on the Wii U.

Yeah, that's what I thought too! I was sure the triggers were digital, just wanted to double check!

Well looks like we won't be seeing anything Media molecule related anyway.

FlyingIrishMan

Damn. Gamescom hopefully then.

CastorTroy

Weren't they the ones showing off that Move stuff at the PS4 event?

Yeah, but that was mainly a concept afaik.
Rumor is they're working on some big Morpheus game.

richymcdermott

I thought about this for a few days now and this is what I would love to see.

The Legend of Zelda for wii u
Majoras Mask
New Metroid game
The Last Guardian
Project Beast
Mortal Kombat Gameplay

Tipsy McSwagger

What I really want to see is Nintendo knocking it out of the park.

tok9

Do Nintendo have a show this year? Other than the direct that is..

cloud493

Their stuff will be on the show floor.

I've become such an console head in my older years... Is it bad I want to see something from U4 and TLOU revamp?
