And Vagrant Story isn't even in the same world as FFXII, is it?

Actually, it kind of is. VS does retroactively take place in Ivalice. Matsuno says that it wasn't his plan, but the almighty retcon reigns supreme in SquareEnix land.

I'm actually surprised that's an arcade game, seemed like a retail release from the first half of the video.

Haven't browsed through this topic yet, but apart from Wii U (obviously), I'm looking most forward to Tomb Raider. Game looked special last year.

I forgot about Tomb Raider. It looked really great last year. I wonder if it'll actually be out this year.

--

Nope. It was delayed until 2013, won't even be playable this year.

--

That does not surprise me at all though it sucks to hear anyways. I don't think anything I was really interested in last E3 and the stuff I know about I'm interested in this E3 will be out until 2013 or later.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

Surprised you're interested in anything at E3, especially Tomb Raider! It's not Persona or Tales!

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

Anyway, I'm interested in Tomb Raider, but it has less to do with what was shown last year (which wasn't as good as it could have been), and more to do with the last few Tomb Raider games. Hopefully it still has what makes Tomb Raider good.

I feel like some obvious ones are missing from the list. Not bad, though, got a few good ones there already.

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

well it is devoid of any first party 3DS games like NSMB2 or Animal Crossing

--
http://i.imgur.com/H7Tbg.jpg
http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/CaptainRockman.png

yeah, these are just confirmed. you can probably assume Luigi's Mansion 2 will be shown for 3DS again, for instance. or Bravely Default.

list looks completely mediocre to me - e3 gonna need some surprises to not be disappointing from my perspective

--
xyzzy

Yeah. Missing Microsoft and Sony's games as well.

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

I would assume the Kirby 20th Anniversary Collection will make an appearance. Interested to see if it really is more than just a ROM dump like they claim it will be.

http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/CaptainRockman.png

As far as announcements, I'm not sure what to expect game-wise. Most of the usual sequels already have games shown or expected to be shown (Mario WiiU), but I think Type-0 will be announced for Vita. I feel like something outside of Rising will be shown from Kojima, too.

Oh, Castlevania. Forgot that--that could be a nice launch game for the WiiU.

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

also does this mean I should abandon my hope for a Type-0 HD release on PSN :(

Konami seems like the software company to watch this year, at least pre-e3. they've got that Castlevania, they've got something ZOE-related, they've got Revengeance (sorta), and then there's the chance of Kojima doing something as well.

--
xyzzy

Yeah, Konami has some games this year. Konami, Nintendo, and Sony have the best set of games heading into E3, I think.

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

Ubisoft looks good too. they've got Shootmania, AC3 of course, Rayman Legends looks good, and they're always first to support new platforms (even if their efforts are usually garbage)

--
xyzzy

Ok we've got all the software and hardware to look forward to as usual.

But which showing for purely entertainment purposes are you most looking forward to?


Voting Ubisoft here, they always manage to make fools of themselves.

--
Dr voltchball - best in the world.

I'm usually a big Ubisoft guy, but I don't think their lineup is as strong this year. Rayman Legends is top tier, though.

--
the dreamer of improbable dreams

it's pretty much the same as last year! another Rayman, another AC, other random games.

--
xyzzy

Well, I'm just talking personally. Just Rayman this year!

I assume the Contra they teased last year will make an appearance

Last year they had Mr Caffeine!

Didn't they have a bunch of toy guns one year?

I always enjoy whatever insanity Microsoft comes up with to sell the Kinect. Remember that creepy digital friend? Or the girl playing with the tiger? Or people jumping about wildly during that adventures game? Or the pre-recorded videos that people tried to sync their movements to?

Yeah, the Star Wars one was pretty hilarious, the guy wasn't in-sync at all.

Microsoft conference will be good fun. Kinect always makes for the best gifs.

I'm interested though in Ninty and Ubisoft's conferences. Sony could be good to if we get to see some TLoU gameplay or more info on All Stars

--
SuperNiceDog? More like GuruNiceDog.

I think that'll be their main draws on PS3. that, Vita stuff, maybe this Gaikai partnership that's doing the rounds

Have Microsoft ever actually had a good conference? I honestly can't remember one. Their 2009 conference started pretty well, but then devolved into lol.

Microsoft can do well when they want to. The biggest E3 announcements this gen have all been at a Microsoft conference. They're just in Nintendo mode right now where they're coasting on current successes.
