Believe it or not E3 is finally upon us! Tomorrow begins the major press conferences and tuesday hails the beginning of the floor show! We here at BigShinyRobot have been prepping for our trip to Los Angeles all week and are locked and loaded to scurry around the trade show floor grabbing all the information you’ll need about the latest in gaming. Here is a tentative schedule for you at home and from today at 3 PM Pacific time on the info begins flooding.
Today (Sunday June 3rd) at 3 PM Pacific Time Nintendo will be unveiling information about the Wii U.
Monday
930 AM Pacific Time – Microsoft Press Conference : We’re sure to get more information on Halo 4, Call of Duty, Battlefield, changes to Xbox live maybe? A hint about their connection to Windows 8 with the Xbox, They’ve already said they won’t be announcing a new console this year, but I’d gladly be pegged a liar to see what Microsoft has up their sleeve.
1:00 PM Pacific Time- EA Press Conference:
Dead Space 3, Something about Battlefield, Madden, NCA, Fifa. Maybe they’ll give us some insight on what Crytek is working on?
3:00 PM Pacific Time- Ubisoft Press conference:
Assassins Creed III will be sure to be a heavy focus at this one. That’s all I’ve got… they’ll show us Assassin’s Creed, I’m an Ubisoft failure.
6:00 PM Pacific Time – Sony’s Press Conference:
I’m sure they’ll share information on the Vita and new directions they’ll be taking it. Hopefully we’ll get to see previews of “The Last of Us” by Naughty Dog and truthfully if Sony is dishing out love, I’m hoping to see a slew of Vita titles announced for this year. Fingers crossed.
Tuesday
9:00 AM Pacific Time – Nintendo’s Press conference:
We’re sure to hear about the success of the 3DS currently. They’ll talk about the New Pokemon, they’ll mention Pokemon Warlords or whatever that stupid looking game is called. They’ll definitely cover the Wii U, if we’re lucky we’ll get a price, date and launch titles. New Super Mario Bros 2 would be a great announcement. Sadly I don’t think we’ll hear about a Zelda title this year at all.
After the Nintendo conference it’s floor show for 3 days, we’ll be on the ground with cameras, microphones, and laptops covering everything we can get our hands on so please check back through out the days for your E3 news.
If you good folk of the internet have any specific requests comment them below and we’ll do everything we can to hunt down the information for you. What do you want to see? What are you hoping for with E3, the party begins tomorrow morning, see you all there!
