There's going to a PC gaming show at E3, hosted by Sean “Day9″ Plott. 5pm to 8pm PDT on Tuesday, June 16th (1am to 4am for GMT).

>In partnership with Twitch, the PC Gaming Show will be streamed live, and feature new game reveals, updates on beloved series, and perspectives from key PC developers.

>Developers, publishers, hardware companies, press and fans come together to celebrate PC gaming and see what lies in store. Here's a look at some of the first confirmed participants, with more to be announced…

>AMD

>Blizzard Entertainment

>Bohemia Interactive

>Cliff Bleszinski

>Cloud Imperium Games

>Dean Hall

>Devolver

>Humble Bundle

>Heart Machine

>Paradox Interactive

>Square Enix

>Tripwire Interactive

I hope this is the best/worst part of the whole thing. It has so much potential.

>>16015

Ah, I see, the Hologen will be more 'this is what we're going to have in the future' instead of a presentation of one.

>FFXV

They've said that FFXV won't have a major appearance at E3 because they haven't had time to prepare anything major. I think there's too much money involved trying to sell more PS4s and Xbones for a PC version to get announced now.

>>16016

> I think there's too much money involved trying to sell more PS4s and Xbones for a PC version to get announced now.

Big sales for GTA V and MGS GZ on PC show there's a much bigger market than anticipated for well done AAA ports on PC. I could see them announcing FFXV and maybe Kingdom Hearts 3 coming to PC at a slightly later date than the console release without a trailer and just an announcement from Wada on stage (Likely to catch the Double Dippers) or they do it at Square Enix conference since it seems like they may be partnering with Nvidia.

Probably one of the more interesting aspects of E3 this year. How much are Sony going to fork out to stop games going to PC as that market keeps growing exponentially and even JP publishers can't ignore it any more.

>predictions

Vegas 3

blah blah french thing

Assassin's Creed in asia or old west.

>>15192

>mother 4

what?

By the way, when Kojima leaves, what will happen to Kojima Productions?

>>16146

Likely split up and shuffled in to other teams. Maybe some will follow Kojima to whatever else he does, but that'll be a minority I'd imagine.

>>16146

>>16151

Rumour is some are already set to leave when he does. I'm betting it's the ex-Team Silent people. Not sure who would pick him up, if he'll go independent or make movies.

The rest are probably going to shoved somewhere else in Konami. Rumours about them merging everything.

>>16019

I know what you mean but I still think Sony and Microsoft tying Final Fantasy down to consoles.

>>16145

>Assassin's Creed in asia or old west.

There's a spin-off in China.

>>16153

I could see him trying and failing to make movies for a bit, but I think the best route for everyone will be a third party studio.

Apparently a guy at Rare on twitter has said they're showing a new game at E3. Then he said it wasn't a Kinect game. His account is locked now and I'm not seeing archives.

>>16157

I agree. He kept saying he wanted to do it though. Either way I'm sure he'll be happier not having to deal with MGS anymore.

>>16181

The guy responded to someone snooping at their hirings that the project Gregg Mayles was leading was going to be at E3 and confirmed his project was in dev (Simon Woodruffe was Creative Director on Sonic All-Stars Transformed on Sega's end and was known for a bunch of Horror Games on the Amiga in the 90's like Waxworks and Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark) as was Louise Ridgeway's (Lead Artist and a Gameplay lead on Viva Pinata, you probably know her as most of the female voices in Conker's BFD and Leafos in Viva Pinata) and none were Kinect games as well.

So Rare have 3 projects, not Kinect at all and we have to wait till E3 to find out what one of them is. Playtonic said they were quite excited about what Rare is doing now as well. So it's going to be quite interesting what they show.

>>16194

>So Rare have 3 projects

There's Ridgeway's game and Mayles' one confirmed for E3 on twitter, what's the third one?

I wonder if Microsoft have given up on the Kinect. I haven't been hearing much about it.

>>16194

Eh, one wonders if anything Rare does will be good, considering they are owned by Microsoft and most of their longtime staff don't work there anymore.

>>16199

Should have been clearer. Third is Simon Woodruffe's project. He's not old school Rare but his game history is pretty impressive. Might be racing (He was Sega's creative director for both Sanic All-Stars Racing games and worked on Sonic Generations) or a Horror game.

And they gave up on Kinect as a gaming device for sure. They sell them by the boxload to Universities and Research now.

>>16200

The Playtonic guys seemed pretty excited and said there's a renewed vigor at Rare due to the changes of management at MS and the fact they are back on making games without Kinect. It will be interesting for sure.

Though I'm betting the big cringe moment during Microsoft's confrence is when they call Gamestop to ask if they have Battletoads before announcing a new Battletoads game.

>>16205

>Third is Simon Woodruffe's project.

I see now. A horror game would be nice.

>they gave up on Kinect as a gaming device for sure.

Good. Glad they're putting D4 on the PC so people can play without that crap.

>Battletoads

Oh, yeah, Spencer was wearing a Battletoads shirt and they've mentioned it a few times.

>“Over the next months, SEGA of America will be focusing on the restructure and relocation to Southern California, and we have decided to not attend E3 with our own booth this year,” reads the Sega representative’s statement. “With the majority of our bigger titles launching later in 2015/2016, particularly those from our AAA studios Relic Entertainment, Sports Interactive and Creative Assembly, we are concentrating our efforts for some of these major announcements after our relocation. Instead, we will be collaborating with our various business partners for this year’s E3 show.”

>>16295

Not a huge loss. I can't remember the last time Sega actually did anything of note at an E3.

I think Larian will be announcing something, that's really the only thing I'm remotely interested in.

>Who’s training for E3? Find out our plans for E3 tomorrow at 9 a.m. PT!

>>16653

Really all they have to do is announce new games, a treehouse stream, and they're good.

What exactly does Microsoft have to show this year other than Halo 5? I'm kinda concerned.

>>16678

If Spector is to be believed, they'll be showing off plenty of exclusive IPs. I hope for their sake it's more than just 'We have this for a timed exclusive' or exclusive DLC. That was most of their presentation last year, Sony's too.

>>16653

>>16712

Wow. So NoA can put this sort of effort into a silly video like this but they seriously can't fucking advertise the Wii U?

I'm kida blinded with this year. I hope for some surprises. But i know this:

- No valve at E3 especially with recent events

- No DOOM from ID Software

- Oculus will present their new SDK (maybe with Carmack lecture)

- Konami with their precious MGS TPP

>sorry, no predictions for Console territory, i'm not that kinda guy

>>16735

Please tell me you have a template for those last 3 images.

>>16681

>>16678

Well Gears Of War Ultimate Edition just leaked. So that was probably going to be announced although we expected it.

They did say that most of the conference was 1st party and there was no real indications on 3rd party what games they have co-marketing with. Assassin's Creed Syndicate doesn't have any (And after the Unity shitstorm. I don't blame them). Rock Band 4 might be getting a stage demo or trailer and rumours are that COD is at Sony this year.

If they pull off a conference mainly full of exclusives and no Kinect, I'll be really impressed. I'd expect a small show-reel for what game support they are planning for Hololens and Windows 10 though. Maybe an exclusive PC game (That RTS their new RTS studio is making?). Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they do a showreel of PC Games supporting Direct X 12 which includes a number of notable backports (GTA V and Project CARS sound ripe for it. Maybe Witcher 3?)

>>16737

Their advertisers are fucking retarded at getting the mainstream but can make funny viral videos like this with Mega 64 that get the internet audience. Go figure.

People will be watching though. Will be interesting to see how they handle the Wii U/3DS to NX transition.

>>16312

Me too

I can't wait for the Div:OS EE

And they're working on 2 new RPGs, the future looks bright for them

>>16860

Was it? I actually got those from 4/v/. We had a fantastic thread that dead naturally after hitting bump limit.

>Natsume has confirmed their lineup of games for this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo.

https://archive.is/mSI8Z

>Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories (Nintendo Wii U / Steam / iOS / Android)

Reminder: this is not actually Harvest Moon/Ranch Story; Story of Seasons is. Natsume owns the name 'Harvest Moon' and slapped it onto something similar for the sales.

>Ninja Strike (Nintendo Wii U)

>Gotcha Racing (Nintendo 3DS)

>Brave Tank Hero (Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U)

>>17477

I've always thought about what a remake of this game would be like. That soundtrack deserves a revival.

>>17477

I can't comment on that because I've never played a Harvest Moon game, so I wouldn't know. I'm just sick of people thinking it's part of the franchise. I figure people here either already know or don't care but I'd rather say it.

The last "Harvest Moon" game Natsume published was by Tabot, Inc. and I can't find anything about them. I think they've only done that one game. I don't mind another franchise in that genre, it's healthy (if HM has gone bad, then people can try this other series instead, etc.); the name thing is just there to trick and confuse people.

>>17480

>Tabot, Inc. and I can't find anything about them. I think they've only done that one game.

Nevermind. I'm retarded. They did some work on some Love Plus games, some junk and some anime things that didn't get localised.

>>17479

There was actually a sort of mini revival in cabal shooters last generation with games like Zombie Panic in Wonderland and Sin and Punishment 2.

>>17553

Appreciated. Seems like a good time to point to:

>>4345

>>17553

Hmmm. Depending on my hours next week, the only conferences I'll be able to catch live are Bethesda's and Sony's.

>>17553

Only one I'm going to miss out on is Square as it's during Nintendo's event. I'm fine since it'll likely just be XV and KH3. I don't have a PS4 or an Xbone so no real reason to be hype for either game.

>>17562

>Only one I'm going to miss out on is Square as it's during Nintendo's event.

How long is Nintendo's show?

Squeenix will have their Western announcements as well, Hitman, Just Cause 3, Tomb Raider, etc.

I'm probably going to skip Bethesda. It's at such a stupid time, I don't play their games but it might be memorable.

>>17567

The event itself is likely 30-40 minutes, an hour tops. But they do run a stream for the rest of the day, and the next two days after. I had a blast in the Treehouse threads last year, so I don't want to miss that.

I'll be enjoying the Bethesda stream as well. Fallout 4 reactions alone will make it worth it.

>>17613

Shiet sorry

>Dark Souls 3

>Tfw they're gonna ruin this one too

I don't want to feel anymore
