It's E3. There's always something you're not going to expect. Only reason there aren't any leaks is because companies have been better about keeping them from slipping out.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Leaks always ruin the legit, surprise-hype.

Someone is going to walk out on stage at e3 without a shirt.
There is your leak.
There is your leak.
The thing is, for many years now, most games have been announced, teased or "leaked" starting about a month before E3.
Only Nintendo has most of the time, been the one that waited until E3, before announcing new games.
Ubisoft has in recent years made surprise announcements with new IPs, Watch Dogs and The Division comes to mind.
Other than that, most big games gets announced close to E3 and not at E3.
This year, there might be something from Bethesda I thought, but it seems they are announcing their games one by one. Would be nice if they saved something to E3.
Anyway, my expectations going into this E3 has been that, E3 starts 1 month before the pressconferenses. Expecting more announcements before E3 starts btw.
At E3: maybe something from Nintendo, one surprise announcement from Ubisoft and gameplay from newly announced games like Doom, Fallout 4, XCOM 2, Deus Ex: MD, Mirrors Edge, Battlefront, etc.
Everything else is just bonus.
Don´t get me wrong I want to surprised at E3, but those days seem to be long gone, as companies don´t want to share spotlight with their big announcements.

I'm not gonna say much about this, but. I witness this dude messing around with vivek on Twitter. Said somethings about a Sony *new* announcement (or leak, which I don't want) of a game on the 8th. I'm assuming he's lying about it but if its true, it'll just be bonus to my anticipation to E3.
2 more weeks y'all.

So you like more of the drama than the actual announcments then. In that case E3 should be more of the same.

Previous E3s were a mistake. They were nothing but leaks.
This year will be different. This year, the 3 will be E'd.

I have to disagree with OP
We almost know, or have information/clues, for most of the AAA games that are going to be announced on E3, except maybe two or three titles that probably will not launch on the next 6 months
To be honest the only press conference that I am most excited for is the Bethesda one, especially if tomorrow we get a good teaser for the next Fallout game and I really want to see what they did with Doom 4 I had enough of Call of Duty clones (even the mighty Halo fell in this design trap) and Wolfenstein The New Order was a great shooter (as the Metro shooters)
What I really want to see in this years E3 is games with realistic/true release dates (this is the delay generation, I cannot forget that), games that dont need five patches after launch to function properly (another great issue I have with current gen) and games that for once deliver on their promises!
If someone goes to read about winter 2013 game releases, he can easily guess some of the games that will get a sequel this year
I realistically dont expect any publisher to announce a new AAA IP that will launch on Sept-Dec 2015 period and I speak about the big five (Sony, MS, EA, Activision, Ubisoft and Bethesda)
All I expect are sequels
The announcement that I am most excited about, and will not happen on E3, is the next game from Rockstar they always give us one title per year and we still dont know what game they will release this year.

Me too; that pre-E3 hype is what keeps me feeling alive (to zombify again afterwards due to disappointment)!
Surprises, like quietness and even boredom, are the type of things in life that are becoming more and more rare but which we need more than we'd think to keep sane and keep any semblance of youthful thinking. Quite a shame that the AAA game industry is slowly but surely taking them away from us due to its crippling addiction to growth and sales.

I do find it really weird that there are no crazy E3 leaks this year. I'm really hoping that E3 will be full of surprises if that's the case!

already confirmed that titanfall 2 won't be there.
I'm not expecting much. With delays and franchises there's not much to show between now and E3 2016 that we don't already know or suspect will be coming. Even Nintendo I'm expecting a quiet year from. They've just popped a mini direct when they didn't need to. No mainline Pokemon likely this year.
I know an indie team who just had exclusivity bought up by one of the big three and even they're not sure if they'll be at E3. They were just told "send us footage of the game and we may play you on stage".

Focus groups didn't like leaks. So no leaks.
Plus, the amount of console games compared to 10 years ago is just wayyyy lower. No more Rare working on 4 games at once.

These lists are always so terrible yet fun to read.
Sounds about right.
MS locking up Marvel vs. Capcom to combat Sony's SF5 deal seems like a pretty clever move.

It's like he Googled a list of games that sold more than a million and made sequels to all of them. If you're gonna fake a list at least fake a new ip

Fable game being reworked? People are playing it right now though
E3 is always so much more disappointing than the pre-release hype makes it out to be. Insiders hype-mongering and promising megatons coupled with their dumb winking faces 
after their posts, in the end maybe one or two kind of interesting big games come out of the show in between dick measuring contests by the manufacturers. Maybe this year it'll be the opposite, no insiders and more actual delivering of announcements.
