INTRODUCTION
___________________________________
Given that there are now seemingly more announcements in the immediate lead-in to E3 than there may be in the show itself, I thought it'd be appropriate to start gathering the data now, or else risk falling further behind. As always, this is a community effort - so any news you think is worthy of this list that isn't on there already, please feel free to format it for the list and I'll add it in. I'm only one dude, so I miss things.
As many know, I enjoy the process of summarizing. It's soothing:
E3 2006 Summary Topic
Tokyo Game Show 2005 Summary Topic
E3 2011 Summary Topic
Those are some examples of my past work.
How does it work?
In short, there will be two terms used for every bulletpoint. Wherever you see the word "Link" you'll get a direct link to an article, video or some other informative bit of news about the bulletpoint. Wherever you see the word "Thread", you'll get a link to an ongoing neoGAF discussion about that bit of news. This way, this thread is integrally linked to the community as well as E3 as a show. I hope this process makes things easy for you guys to follow!
How will the updating process work?
There will be four main posts, each segmented into themes. One is for Microsoft, one is for Nintendo and one is for Sony. The fourth is for Miscellaneous items and Multiplatform titles. Each day you can check my OP, and you'll see the latest bulletpoints with a timestamp. This is how it will look
June 6, 5:52PM(EST)
● Beast Souls has been announced for the 3DS, Vita and iPhones! (Link, Thread)
June 6, 7:00PM(EST)
● Remember that other shit? That was nothing. Kingdom Hearts III is now an exclusive firefox/chrome/IE browser game! (Link, Thread)
The latest update will always be at the most bottom of the page. This way, you'll always be able to see what news you might have missed. My schedule is going to be irregular, but in general you'll always see an update around 5:00PM(EST), and then continually until around 8:30PM(EST) as far as I can do. Keep checking to see if anything is new!
How can you help?
You probably didn't ask this. But I'm going to pretend you did anyway! I am one single person, who also has to hold down a job. The industry is now a massive, daunting place with news falling out of every orifice every second around the hour. What this means is that it is literally going to be impossible for me to get every single bit of news everywhere. I'm bound to miss something.
I fully encourage you to post news articles - using the format I have for my topic bulletpoints - in this thread or in PM to me, and I will also update them into the post. At the end of my posts, I will regularly be updating a "thank you" list to everyone who has contributed.
