E3 2018

[GoGo Yubari]

Just two days away from press conference season! Bit of a weird feeling to it since the vast majority of the major releases got leaked and there have been a bunch of pre-E3 announcements, but hopefully it should be a good time. EA does their own thing on Saturday, then on Sunday it's Microsoft, Bethesda, and hopefully a continuation of Devolver Digital's weird nihilistic take on press conferences. Monday a bunch of them highlighted by the return of Square Enix, Ubisoft and their hallucinatory dance sequences, and Sony hitting play on their YouTube playlist of trailers and calling it a day. And then Tuesday is Nintendo's video presentation.

Here's a handy chart showing when each press conference will start:

So, EWB, what are you hoping to see this year?

Is this rumored at all? Because that'd probably be the only thing about E3 that will excite me.

Yeah, it's been brought up by Gamespot on their list of rumours for the Nintendo conference, so it seems like it might be in the realm of possibility.

Maybe we'll get a release date for the new Smash Bros too?

Announcement of a Bioware game not named Anthem  
News on Fallout 76
A cool new IP
Beyond Good and Evil news that isn't that weird gritty BS we got before
Next Insomniac game after Spidey (hopefully more Ratchet and Clank!)

[Baddar]

Sports!

Square Enix's return to the live conference scene means that you can brace yourselves for a range of exciting CG teaser trailers for games that might come out in ten years' time.

I'm hoping for some news on the new Yoshi game

10 years?  The FFVII remake has been in production since before FFVII was originally released

Of what's been said, a Burnout 3/Revenge remaster and FFX-3 would be sweet. More details on the Spider-Man game and some Ratchet & Clank news would be pretty hype too.

I'll watch EA's later just to see if there's any significant changes for Ultimate Team in FIFA next year (and hopefully some pro clubs revamps!)

Elder Scrolls VI would make me lose my shit but it probably won't happen with the new Fallout announcement.

Some cool new PS4 exclusives would be nice too.

Things I'm hoping for:

• Killer Queen on Switch
• Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas on Switch
• Smash Bros roster/release date reveal
• A new Super Mario Maker
• DOOM 2
• Bloodborne 2
• Tony Hawk's SK4TE

Give me all of them and I'll die happy.

Honestly, I don't expect this to be the most memorable of E3 events. We're at the stage where Sony and Microsoft have one eye on their next systems, but aren't going to announce them yet, and most of the big developers already have their games revealed. However, to me, that's quite a good thing because it could allow more attention to be given to the less high-profile titles that might usually be given the sizzle reel treatment. Well, either that or we get more celebrity appearances to fill in the gaps.

I'd love this, but only as long as it's more like the original Mario Party system and not like 9 or 10, or at least an option to switch between the two gameplay styles would be good.

Yeah old school mario party for sure. And yeah, I’d be thrilled even if they just ported over Super Mario Maker. I’m not a fan of ports but I really want that.

[Owen]

I'd like to see a new Mario platformer on the Switch too, although I feel like they're not going back to the New Super Mario Bros format any time soon. The Yoshi game is going to be a platformer as well, so that's probably another reason why we won't see a new Mario series platformer announced until at least next year.

[Skummy]

I want to be blindsided by a new Nintendo game that they've kept completely under wraps until now, I want a reveal of a mad new character for Smash Bros, and I want confirmation that the Killer7 remaster is coming to PS4.

[GoGo Yubari]

The Nintendo property I hope comes to Switch the most is Animal Crossing. Mario Party a strong second.
