E3 Every year fans of video games are waiting for the E3. It is within this large-scale event that the brightest announcements of new game projects occur, we are shown new game consoles and accessories to them, they represent new services and much, much more. This year, the E3 promises to be incredibly interesting, because the next-generation consoles of PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Wii U are just gaining momentum, and developers are ready to reveal the veil of secrecy over their new games for them.
First of all, you need to know when all the conferences of major game publishers will take place. And conferences this year will be much more than in the past. For the first time in the history of E3, the conference is organized by the Japanese company Square Enix, famous for its series of games Final Fantasy. In the party there will be no Bethesda publishing house, whose conference will open E3 2015. A manufacturer of processors and video cards AMD organizes a special show for fans to play on their PCs. But the Japanese publishing house Sega this year will miss the exhibition.
Here is a list of all conferences with the date and exact time of their beginning in Moscow:
Bethesda - June 15 (4:30).
Microsoft - June 15 (19:30).
Electronic Arts - June 15 (23:00).
Ubisoft - June 16 (1:00).
Sony - June 16 (4:00).
Nintendo - June 16 (19:00).
Square Enix - June 16 (20:00).
AMD - June 17 (3:00).
As you can see, within three days you will have something to do yourself. And if you are really a self-respecting gamer, then do not miss any of the speeches. Of course, each conference can be watched live via sites like Twitch or Gametrailers.com, but a list of exact links to streams of events will appear only closer to the beginning of E3. Let's give vent to fantasy for a second and try to imagine what the big platform owners and publishers will show us? Let's go straight down the list.
Bethesda has been working on Fallout 4 for several years. Everybody knows about this: I know, you know, Western gaming journalists are trumpeting about this in every corner. But the publishing house continues to keep a dead silence on this matter. Not a fact, of course, that the new Fallout will be shown on this E3, but I really want to believe in it. Recently, by the way, there was a rumor that the trailer for the new game was staged and shot by the famous director Guillermo Del Toro and we will see him at the upcoming exhibition. It is possible that the publisher will say a few words about the new game of the series The Elder Scrolls, but this, of course, is already something in the field of science fiction.
Microsoft this year will do everything to expose its game console in the best light. Their conference will last for an hour and a half. They had a hard time in this generation of consoles, as the PS4 is confidently leading the sales in almost all countries of the world. That is why the Redmond giant should present just a huge number of new games for its platform, thereby attracting new potential buyers. The internal Rare studio, which Microsoft acquired many years ago, is likely to present one or more new projects. One of them is probably the platformer of the Banjo-Kazooie series. Also we can count on the fact that the publisher will revive the once popular series of beat-em-up-games Battletoads. Judging by rumors, the publishing house is also preparing HD-reissue of the Gears of Wars series and a completely new game of this series. We will definitely see a single-player shooter Halo 5, which is due out at the end of this year. Most likely, we will also be shown a new simulator of Forza Motorsport 6, as well as talk about the release of some of the presented games for the Windows 10 platform, which Microsoft promises to comprehensively support in the future.
Personally, I most of all expect from Electronic Arts new information about the new Mass Effect. But, of course, we will have to listen half a good presentation about the technologies that were used in the new simulator FIFA 16 (which, by the way, for the first time to play for women's teams), as well as other sports games that are in constant demand in the world and bring the publisher a huge profit. We just have to learn more about the game Mirrors Edge 2. Well, without the new Plants vs. Zombies this time also is unlikely to manage. We already know that in the development there is a new Need for Speed, but the gameplay will be shown to us for the first time during this conference. Also we learn more about the new games in the Star Wars universe, as Visceral studio recently played a teaser game with Khan Solo in the lead role.
Ubisoft will talk about the new (or new?) Assassin's Creed, and also can show us the second part of the game about the hackers Watch Dogs. For several years now, we have been waiting for the release date for the game The Division from the French publisher, so maybe this time it will be our luck. In general, Ubisoft has promised us even more sandbox games, so we are waiting for even more towers that need to be captured. Personally, I would not refuse a new platformer from the Rayman series and continue the elegant game Beyond Good and Evil from the game designer Michel Ansel. According to rumors, the French are also working on a role-playing game in the spirit of fantasy, but so far almost nothing is known about it.
The Japanese publishing house Sony this year is simply obliged to strengthen its leading position in the console market. I want to believe that we will see a new, more elegant revision of the PlayStation 4 console at a reduced price, and also learn more about the virtual reality headset Project Morpheus. Many new studios are expected to present their new PS4 games. The Japanese developer Level 5 will present its new project, and I want to believe that this is the continuation of the wonderful role-playing game Ni No Kuni, over which the legendary animation studio Ghibli, founded by Hayao Miyazaki, also worked. Sony's internal studios will show their secret projects, but I do not want to speculate on this topic, I just remind you that we are waiting for news about developers such as Sony Bend, Media Molecule, Quantic Dream, Guerilla Games, Santa Monica Studios, SCE North West, Poliphony Digital and others. Ghost projects like The Last Guardian or Agent still remain in the dreams of thousands of players around the world, and everyone wants to believe that it is on this E3 that we finally will be told that the games are almost finished and will soon be born. No less players are waiting for a new game series Crash Bandicoot, but given that the rights to the character are owned by Activision, this event is extremely unlikely. And we can also imagine an HD-remake of the Uncharted trilogy, but this is a completely different story.
Nintendo will traditionally bet on its own IP. The president of the company Satoru Iwata will miss events because of his huge employment, but the exhibition will be visited by the main game designer Nintendo - Shigeru Miyamoto. Most likely, we will see a new game of the Paper Mario series and a new chapter of adventures Samus Aran from the Metroid series. We also learn more about the revived championship for gamers Nintendo World Championship, which last time was held in the distant 1990. I'd like to know more about the new game of the series The Legend of Zelda, as well as see any new IP, preferably without a mustachioed plumber in the title role.
Square Enix will bring to the exhibition a new role-playing game Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness, and can also show us new fragments of Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV. Western studios of the Japanese publishing house will show us the new games of the series Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and, if lucky, even Hitman. I want to believe that the publisher's management will revive the once popular Legacy of Kain franchise. But whether it happens on the upcoming E3 - I'm not sure.
It remains to wait for just two weeks, and we will learn everything about the games that await us in the coming years. The exhibition does not exclude pleasant surprises and unexpected announcements, which can both please us and shock us. Everything can be. I will try to share with you the news from the exhibition as quickly as possible, so stay with us.
