[:plant:] E3 2012

So here's the schedule for press conferences the next two days (in Eastern):

Monday
12:30pm Microsoft Press Conference
4:00pm EA Press Conference
6:00pm Ubisoft Press Conference
9:00pm Sony Press Conference

Tuesday
12:00pm Nintendo Press Conference

I'm looking forward to Nintendo's conference to see what the Wii U is capable of and what their launch titles will be (hopefully they learned their lesson from the 3DS's initial launch lineup). Curious to see what they've got coming for the 3DS, I'm getting at least three more games from the system this year.

Hopefully Sony will give me a reason to buy a Vita (games I'd want to play), otherwise for now it's just Ratchet and Clank collection. I would be surprised if we didn't hear anything regarding the PS4.

I can't think of anything I'd get from EA. Ubisoft can have my money for Assassin's Creed III on 360 (crossing my fingers that it doesn't end up being as boring as Revelations was).

Microsoft - Dead or Alive 5, Zone of the Enders HD Collection, Metal Gear Solid Rising Revengeance, and possibly Halo 4. I'm not sure what Microsoft has left, but I'm curious to see if they're going to mention their next gen console. I'm preparing for more painful Kinect demonstrations like the last two years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's pretty sad when the entertainment side of the 360 (IE and addition of more video related stuff) were the highlights of the show to me. The only game I was even excited about was the South Park RPG.

However, there were no Kinect demonstrations with children so that was a bit of an improvement. Overall it was disappointing, Sony should be able to top that.

Also, I almost facepalmed at work after that Usher mini-concert when that guy came back and said "Microsoft is USHERing in the future of gaming" or something to that extent.

How ya doing, buddy?
