Article up. Unsure when I should go to bed, since it's going to be a ridiculously late night again tomorrow XD. Bloody E3.

Cause otherwise you would go to bed at a reasonable time. :monster:

EA Conference in a nutshell: sports, sports, sports, hey we're doing story mode for FIFA because that worked so well for 2K16, here's basically nothing new from ME4 and lets celebrate women! Awesome right?

crowd: .............

EA: Please clap.

EA was an absolute abomination as usual. 4 hours and 43 minutes until the Bethesda conference, which I'm even less excited for :monster:

(I'm just not that into Bethesda games).

EA was boring as shit.

And that pointless "simultaneous conference in London!" shit. Let's double the money spent on this for zero gain!

Hopefully this means it can only get better from here. =P

I mean, I didn't know what I was expecting from EA.

Also here's no game play and no official release date for any of our games. But yaaaaaay sports!

I'm watching Easy Allies between conferences. They just re-watched the Sony 2015 conference sped-up and then watched that Konami 2010 highlight reel that I linked to here in the thread as well :lol:

Yeah that was a nice touch honestly. And the rainbow overlay on their stream icon, which I didn't see because I was streaming from YouTube. They didn't draw any undue attention to any of it during the conference, it was just a nice symbol of solidarity.

It didn't top last year. That is for sure.

Hey if someone could answer this that would be great. So the Sony press Conference is tomorrow starting at 9:00pm EST. Then we have Square put up a schedule for their news. I am getting a bit confused tho. Does the Sony Conference start the Final Fantasy news and then for the next few days Square does their own thing not related to the current E3 event?

If someone could clear this up for me that would be great because the official E3 schedule goes up to Tuesday with Nintendo, but Square's goes to the Thursday.

So typically big new FF trailers are generally shown at the Sony conference, but that's not set in stone. You always get publisher/ developer conferences prior to the official start of E3 (and E3 officially opens on Tuesday), So Sony, Microsoft, sometimes Nintendo, EA and Ubisoft always have conferences the day before (this year it's Sunday/ Monday). Last year and this year Bethesda also had a conference, and other devs/ publishers have had their own in the past (Square Enix had one last year, Konami (lol) have had one a couple of times).

The big conferences like that are just announcements and or "this is what we're doing", and they're the thing to watch for.

For the past few years, SE have had "Square Enix presents" which is a livestream that basically runs the length of the whole E3 (and by that I mean when E3 officially starts, which is on Tuesday - Thursday). It's safe to say that if there are any major announcements, it'll be during Sony's conference like it usually is. More than likely (since we generally know all of SE's big upcoming games) they'll use the Square Enix presents channel to talk about and show off new stuff about their lineup of games (with a focus on World of Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy XIV and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, since those are all imminent).

This is not to say that they won't surprise us with some new stuff at the Sony press conference tomorrow. For example if they ARE going to show any new FFVII stuff, it'll definitely be at the Sony conference because there's no space for it on their own livestream schedule.

So we have the Big Deal(tm) conferences (Bethesda and EA have been - Sunday - then Ubisoft, Microsoft, PC Gaming Show and Sony on Monday). Then I think there's a Nintendo thing on Tuesday just before E3 properly opens, and it's during that time that SE starts their stream running for the length of the rest of E3 (until Thursday).

Woooo this day is the biggies.

Although I also have to say I'm already fucking exhausted and I'll be up for like another 16 hours or some shit watching all these conferences. Wai

Anyway, 90 minutes until MS conference.
