Shut the fuck up you man-babies.
The longer they delay showing the successors the more they aren't threatened by Wii-U.
I don't want a premature pressure to launch because a soon to be obsolete piece of hardware is around the bend. I would rather the new consoles be unveiled further down the line. To allow cheaper prices & progression of technology. In the meantime I hope they wait it out & let Nintendo fumble. Launching 2 super beasts creating another Dreamcast scenario from a tech perspective.
You people are so fucking impatient buy a super powered PC & wait.

No GTA V?
And considering BlizzCon isn't happening this year, we might be in for a long wait.

fun fact, the image that was shopped from actually comes from Chris Thunig, a former concept artist at Blizzard. I'm hoping this E3 is as good a chance as any for a teaser, though. DOTA2 and CS:GO are getting ready to ship, they mus have something else on the horizon, unless it's another game with a 3 in it.
And OP ignores the fact we still know next to nothing about Wii-U, which is arguably in a similar situation the Wii was for E3 '06, which we of course we all remember (granted this without the more massive paradigm shift that was the motion controller).
Typical OP: "Nintendo doesn't count cuz casuals bad gfx derp"

New Kojima game + new Kamiya game = best E3.

Every E3 is fantastic...Just not for the reasons the companies involved would like. I mean this generation alone we've had:
Embarrassing conferences where the presenter was terribly awkward and unfunny, or the everybody on stage was stoned, or they had just lost their fucking minds.
Fanboy meltdowns like the Great Square-Enix Betrayalton of 2008.
And just good old fashioned fanboy dumbshittery where you get things like "Microsoft showed a slew of new games, Sony showed new hardware, and Nintendo had a guy with a mohawk flailing like a spaz. Clearly Nintendo won!"
What's not to love about E3?

I'm not really into R* games. I might try Max Payne 3 though.

This is one of the people I hope to see meltdowns from. Nobody is yelling or even angry, just discussing and I can sense the vane on his forehead about to burst. Will be glorious when he doesn't agree with what is happening at the conferences.
Rage on brother, rage on.

I'm curious to see what MS has got in the works..i'm not really big on halo so halo 4 doesn't hype me up. i'm hoping for some new IPs, altho this late in the generation i doubt it.

I wouldn't trust anything Microsoft/Sony say about next-gen announcements before E3.
They will continue to deny until they reveal it. What else would they do? "Oh, yeah, we're going to show our next console at E3" and just tip the competition their hand?
If both of these next-gen consoles release in late 2013, this E3 would be the perfect opportunity to tease their consoles at the very least. It gets the cat out of the bag, allows developers to talk about their projects (which are no doubt already in development), and allows hype to build for the system.
They don't need to show a lot, they just need to tease.
I'd be very surprised if Sony and Microsoft say nothing. I expect both of them to tease next-gen, and at the very least one of them will.
On the other hand, I wouldn't get my hopes up for a flurry of announcements, concrete specs, release date, or price.
Think E3 2005 for Sony.

I am too...
But not if it's a bunch of Wiihashes like NSMB:Mii edition.
I'm going to need something Galaxy-caliber to make me bite.

It's all about the games. I don't care how amazing the console reveals are. If the games they show suck (or are dominated by an endless stream of brown and grey FPS games and throw-away party motion games like the previous year or two) I'll be pretty disappointed.

But the new console will have youtube! How can you not be impressed!?
Prepare for disappoint.
I'll be on GAF waiting for the rage when they show Wii U = 360 + tablet controller.

Lol at Xeke in that thread:
Xeke said:
Spot on...well, kinda.
but yeah, E3 is amazing for the gifs and meltdowns. All the latest uberhyped games ended up (for me) being from decent to major disappointments, so I don't expect anything.

I used to look forward to E3 for videogame news. Now I look forward to E3 for reaction gifs and unintentional comedy.
Wow that thread is a banned graveyard.

PS4 isn't coming until 2014, and MS will probably shoot for the same time period, maybe late 2013. Wii U will have probably an entire year to itself.
Anyway, the conferences should still be fun and we'll see some hilarious threads I'm sure. Hopefully we'll get a Vita bomba price drop announcement.

Haha, we'll see about that. They'll be teased and I won't be surprised if they show us something.

I always have a lot of fun with E3 whether we get any real announcements or not. It's the only time you can a constant amount of live video game programming, all the biggest names together (well, this may not be true because of GDC), and it's just something all video game fans watch and look forward to.
If it's bad, then the meltdowns are just as entertaining.
I just love watching the press conferences (especially waking up for Nintendo's).

Goddamn, this was the megaton of megatons.
People always overwork themselves. It's amazing how people over hyped a game's importance, and it ended up not mattering much, and being a huge disappointment, lol.

I wish I could go back in time and tell them it wouldn't be very good. Some of those guys really needed it.
EDIT: Lol at the guys saying White Knight Chronicles would be worth it.

I hope Sony focuses on PS2 classics. Where is my Rogue Galaxy, damnit?
Oh, you son of a bitch!
Not everyone has to be excited for a Nintendo console especially as more and more signs come out that it's going to be another underpowered console.

The event hasn't even happened yet, and already people are worried that it won't be exciting. Relax, and let events unfold. Just from all of the things we know, it should be exciting. We'll see more info on a brand new console, plus there's going to be lots of news regarding games like Halo 4 and the zombie game from naughty dog. There's sure to be lots of surprises as well. Maybe they'll finally have some exciting PS move games, or new kinect games. The Vita and 3DS will have big announcements for sure. Would it be more exciting if more new consoles were shown? Of course it would be. The E3s where multiple new machines debuted were always more memorable. But don't pull a downer on the show yet if your waiting for PS4 or Xbox 720 with bated breath. There's going to be a lot of exciting games info for sure. And for big Nintendo fans, it should be plenty exciting to see a new Wii.
One Caveat: If Crytek doesn't do a Timesplitters reveal, then E3 can be labelled as a disappointment.

e3 every year is just this constant state of fear and anticipation, hoping that the metroid series will [continue] show[ing] signs of life.
And by signs you mean anonymous developers. Yeah, I can trust those.
CONTRARIAN INDICATOR IS IN PLAY.
Seriously though I've noticed E3 becoming slowly more like an shareholder meeting.
Good morning everyone I'd like to introduce this poorly thought out gimmick which appeals to this previously untapped demographics allowing us greater marketshare and convincing you not to drop our stock!
