My expectations of the rumoured Tiny Tina/Wonderlands game is incredibly low. I did not like Borderlands 3 and I think the series humor is more miss than hit. I don't have much hope for the concept.

Nice, the Ukraine-Netherlands game is at 9AM, and the Microsoft-Bethesda show starts at 1PM.

Good timing.

Google Doc detailing what days various conferences and events take place including timezones.

Really useful. Also I have no idea what half these shows are. I think I'll focus on trying to catch Ubisoft, Microsoft and Nintendo live.

Cinematic trailer for Battlefield 2042:



Looks dope. I'd have loved a modern version of 2148 but this works.

I wonder if the tornado thing means they're leaning heavily into destruction again like around Bad Company and BF4?

Gameplay reveal set for Sunday the 13th. Probably a reveal during the Xbox conference. I wonder if there's some truth to the speculation that Microsoft could pay all the money for EA to launch Battlefield 2042 day 1 on Gamespass.

Devolver is back!

Totally NSFW

Nu-Battlefield is MP-only, no campaign.

Because that went so well for CODBLOPS 4.

That sucks. I love me some FPS campaigns.

I was watching a devoted fps youtuber who is all about the war shooters. He posted one video where he emphatically urges Battlefield not to be a bad game. I guess he hated Battlefield V. I picked up Battlefield V from PS+ free games but haven't played it yet (never have played any of the Battlefield games). This youtuber was going on about how Call of Duty Warzone has moved the bar higher and is worried the next Battlefield game will continue a trend of decline.

Hmm, it appears I was mistaken regarding the Euros timing. Gonna have to skip Squeeenix's presser to watch the UA-NED game.

Might not be around to watch the Saturday streams live, either. Some good matches on Sat. Doubt Ubi will be showing anything I'm particularly keen on, anyway.

[Mentalist]

Just under 2 hours to go until Keighley starts announcing things.

Probably nothing too too crazy in terms of reveals- there's about 30 "things" planned, but a bunch will be updates/news to popular online multiplayer games- like new "seasons", with skins/cosmetics/etc.

Still, there should be some new games as well, though unclear what caliber of games.

Is there a Twitch channel that will be streaming all the conferences? For some reason YouTube doesn't run that great for me. It works, but Twitch seems to run easier for me. I know there was some update YouTube rolled out a few months back or so. Ever since that time it has caused me headaches now and again.

Also, do you guys think there will be any number of those announcements where they say "you will be able to download/play <game title here> at the end of our presentation." It seems that is a popular thing now.

[Aptorian]

I'd just try and Google E3 streams. You're bound to find something either directly streamed by E3 or hosted by a game site.

I'm full of hype and cynicism, so I expect nothing and everything to happen. Half-life 3 will be revealed and announced that it is delayed.

I'm sure there'll be shadow-drops. Actually, since Microsoft has been quiet since April about the new AoEII DE expansion, and it's supposedly out "this summer", I'm hoping THAT gets shadow-dropped and I don't have to wait until GamesCom (the next big PC event) to see it.

There will probably be others. Maybe smth from Devolver, they like crazy stuff.

[Aptorian]

Ooohh, 90 minutes.

[Aptorian]

It's fun to see Ashley Burke all grown up after watching her Hey Ashley videos a decade ago.

Not much info on Wonderlands. I'll remain sceptical. Borderlands 3 hurt my feelings.

[Aptorian]

Wow, a new metal slug game. I thought this was going to be a Mercenary Kings sequel.

[Aptorian]

Oh look, it's time for Keighly's annual Kojima handjob.

It's got more environmental destruction than the nu-Xcoms. I'm impressed and intrigued.

[Malankazooie]

Death Stranding 2? Or is that DLC / expansion?

Geoff Keegley loves himself some Kojima.

[EDIT] Oy my, the box maneuver from Metal Gear. Are these universes going to overlap?

[EDIT2] Nevermind "Directors Cut"
