They do! Halo Wars 2 comes out Friday/Tuesday and they're doing a big live event for it tomorrow! ~_^
And daylight saving even worst! Someone should implement an internet universal time or something and every single country should stick with it.
We know what games will be there from MS:
Crackdown
Forza
Sea of Thieves
State of Decay 2
Just wondering what 3rd parties show up.

Interesting move. I guess Microsoft wants a day all to themselves, since Sony usually goes on Monday and Nintendo on Tuesday.
Considering they probably have as of right now the most anticipated E3 announcement with Scorpio, I don't blame them.

Ehhhh. Sunday wouldn't really be a great day for me. There's a possibility that I'll probably miss this one live. That really sucks. :/
What I'm surprised by is the conference starting at 2pm PST. At least I won't have to get up early to watch E3 like I've been doing these last couple of years.

I was specifically referring to console makers. EA and Ubisoft go on Monday too, but they inevitably will be seen as less important than Sony and MS.

you making a list or something
Way better time for me. 11 pm instead 6pm when i am rushing home through traffic like a mad men.
I go from missing it coming home from work to missing it as I am going to bed.
Hopefully this will encourage Sony to have an earlier conference. It is usually at 2am where I live so I have to use my precious days off for it.
I will miss the epic evening of conferences nearly back to back. Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony in the space of the evening is great.

Probably.
Sunday: Microsoft, Bethesda
Monday: EA, Ubisoft, Sony.
Tuesday: Nintendo E3 Direct
Me too. Really hope he shows it off first. That guy has a really good stage presence and enthusiasm to go with it.

Nothing new for the way MS treat Europe
Why does Microsoft always go first. I don't get it.
However cool Scorpio announce is, they'll have to announce price.
At which point Sony can decide how low to go with their response.
Even if they hit $399 for Scorpio, Sony can guaranteed go out the very next day with a super appealing price for the Pro.

Love him!
I have a feeling that half of the conference will be devoted to talking about Scorpio, and then the other half will be demoing games that have already been announced on Scorpio. So Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2 etc. I think it's going to be very light in terms of game announcements for MS this E3. Maybe Forza 7 and Halo 6, but that's about it.
SHOCKING!

Let the Scorpio disappointment begin!
Hopefully they reload after the last few IPs they've released.

It's been early evening in he EU for the last few years. But hey Microsoft suck.
Read "Europeland".
You should watch this video on that topic. I had a couple good laughs and head shakes.

Who gives a crap what Sony will do? Just focus on what MS has to do.

The real question here is can there be any other insane speculations by the new picture of the Scorpio
Wut? This is alot better. Its not on a work day during the end of the work day now. Wich all considering wasnt that bad also.
That background image is old.

Agreed! They act like Europe has their own E3 or something... Something meant specifically for that region! The nerve!

Ahh ok I didn't recall the 4K being on it before
Sunday is a good day, not sure if I like the new time though I liked it being at 5(?)pm gmt
I liked it being at 5(?)pm gmtPeople like to dream that Sony will drop the Pro to $299 or less within 7 months when it took the PS4 3 years to get a $100 price drop, leave them be

10pm is awful? Do you have to be tucked up in bed for 8:30pm or something?
At least I don't need to take a half day off work for it. Im delighted with the day and time

Now i see why the xbox one is a failure in europe
Have you seen Panos try to sell a piece of hardware?
Since Scorpio looks to be unveiled at E3, Panos won't be there. Unless the conference is like 6 hours long.
Scorpio reveal will be a short trailer similar to the S this year, stating the specs, showing off the hardware, etc, then Phil or whoever comes on stage saying every game will be shown running on Scorpio.

Wasnt like this in the past. Every E3 Briefing from Microsoft was on a Monday at 9pm in germany.
That was a great time.
Better than Sony's actually
