it's that time of year, where we all stare at the new video games and wonder if the world will hang on long enough to play them
lawlessness and fear rule the land, and the filthy rabble will be allowed to enter for the first time
Electronic Arts has abandoned us
Nintendo beams their missives from a secret moonbase
Nietzsche has declared the Hoop God dead
it's E3
use this thread to talk about it
here is the press conference schedule along with some predictions
EA will kick off their legally distinct from E3 conference on Saturday June 10th at 12 PST
reeling from Mass Effect Andromeda's critical shellacking, they will probably bring out a bunch of sports games you don't care about, Star Wars Battlefront, and that Star Wars Amy Hennig thing
Microsoft will kick things into high gear on Sunday June 11th at 2PM PST
the Xbox One is a puny weeny console so they stuffed a bunch of scorpions in it and now it's awesome, expect them to show off every dripping throbbing polygon of new games and not once mention that they'll all also be available on PC
also maybe VR?
Bethesda does a thing at this now, and they're up Sunday June 11th at 9 PM PST
expect endless ESO talk, some hints at a new Elder Scrolls game, Quake Champions, and probably a Wolfenstein sequel, because we all need to shoot some Nazis
The PC Gaming Show is on Monday, June 12th at 10 AM
I don't know what this is
Ubisoft will be ready and rarin' to kill whitey on Monday, June 12th at 1 PM
they will have Far Cry 5, which will be handled totally fine without any heavy handed references to the president, Assassins Creed Origins, and just a crippling amount of awkwardness
Sony, fresh off two of the best all-time E3 conferences ever and one pretty good one, will be body-slamming Phil Spencer onto the stage on Monday,
June 12th at 6 PM
Last Of Us 2, Destiny 2, Spider-Man, a metric ton of indies, and an extremely painful tease at a nostalgic property will probably be on display, and they may even Strand a little Death

Devolver Digital has a presser? and they haven't said when or what time?
okay?
Nintendo will finally release a Sidon Amiibo on Tuesday, June 13th at 9 AM (note: they're probably not doing that)
expect Mario Odyssey and lots of it
let's all enslave ourselves to electrical signals and shell out money to distract from the flaming hellscape we live in!
