The only legit Nintendo leak in the last few years was when Time leaked Star Fox last year.

Those groups ceased to be the core audience when they started live streaming the conferences. Consumers are the target for the stage shows.

What other games have been announced at E3 and then released in August? I'm not saying this is definitely an unrealistic idea; I'm just curious about other examples. I guess this is more likely with a remastered collection, though.

I'm pretty sure that the press freaking hates them too. And I think that could affect share prices and all. (I think I'm wrong here)
Pretty much, E3 is a big ad event. The biggest in the industry, I've seen people who know nothing of games who pay attention to E3. Things like Powers make you lost viewers and therefore exposition to your games.
Who cares? It's not like 5 minutes of multmedia stuff is going to make their games suddenly vanish.
I don't mind 5 minutes. When they spent nearly 20 minutes last year to introduce Powers, that was TOO much spent on the multimedia aspect.

It was 5 minutes.
You are right, just looked it up. I guess in my memory it was such a disrupting flow in the presentation.

Damn, it felt like an eternity. And even then, that guy went off script and started to talk a lot more, it was probably more of a 1 minute thing and he ruined it.
Next time, don't invite randoms like him to the stage. I'd rather have an exec do it, since he or she gets to the point.

Of course not, but it makes for a poor viewing experience. The Sony conference is way too long, so I'd like them to cut the less relevant segments, including stuff like Powers. Hell, I'd like them to not show third party games that were in earlier conferences, but I know I'm never going to get that.

Also worth remembering too: Nikkei leaked the 3DS XL during E3 in 2012 (though that wouldn't be properly announced until a Nintendo Direct a month later).

Mario Maker too last year... many days before the expo, even.

I remember that, it looked so fake to have been real XD
That was so dumb, too.
Are people other than the ones putting the showfloor together supposed to be in there?
TLoU R was announced in April (after it got leaked accidentally by some Sony exec) and released in July last year. So at least a comparatively short span between announcement and release is not totally unheard of for ND/Sony, however September or early October still appears more likely to me than August.
I would guess both Everybody Gone To The Rapture and The Witness are treated as main month titles as well.

I knew there were a few I was missing. I know Rapture is slated for releasing soon but I have no idea about The Witness.
I don't agree. Livestreaming is more of a "throw our fans a bone" since they realize the hardcore care about events such as these and want to see them even though we are not allowed to attend. While I'm sure these companies care to an extent what consumers think of their E3 conferences and such, at the end of the day, they are businesses that must appeal to investors and shareholders as well as make money. The amount of advertising opportunities have grown from E3, but its original purpose remains intact with the numerous back room deals done during E3 week.
This just seems like the most absurd thing ever to worry about.
Sure, the flow will influence what a general audience feels, but I would think an enthusiast would be able to see past the fluff and evaluate the actual content.
Also Persona 5 and No Man's Sky.

Too many games. I think NMS will be a Morpheus launch title.
Hah! Yea the future is bright! Honestly I just need those two(Persona and NMS). Between the two of them I'll probably be occupied for most of 2016.

It doesn't seem that weird to want to have a good time while you're watching the thing.
That would be the killer app for Morpheus. If they release also with a a horror game, some ''experience games'' (like the sark tank and street luge) and support for a racing game, Sony will secure a safe launch for this VR
The fuck did your dog ever do to you?
Need that London Heist demo to grow into a new Getaway. Add that to the mix and now we're talking.
That looked awesome. I think Sony will revive either The Getaway or Eight Days like they did with Until Dawn. Not sure if they would go for Morpheus support though.

EDIT: Let the record show that I love my dog and would never harm him. It was an ill conceived joke and for that I apologize.

It is not a replacement, but is something that fans of the series want(myself included). I always thought it would be a mistake to not release the trilogy on PS4 before Uncharted 4 because of all the PS4 owners that didn't own a PS3.

Someone earlier compared it to TLOU and Resident Evil. Any way I hope it is
third person.
FF Versus's plans changed many times over the course of a few months. Can't really blame him for that.
He's been right a LOT of times.
Still, his Suikoden VI, Xenosaga HD and Dragon quest Hd remaster (he didn't specify
which but VIII's now out of the picture...) seem highly doubtful to me.

I can't decide between Capcom will suck or Capcom will do great.
Deep Down, Dogma Online, SFV, RE7, maybe Dmc5, plus Monster Hunter and portable games, for sure they have the potential to have a great E3.

Go in with low expectations just to be sure. Plus, knowing Japanese publishers right now, 66% if what you just mentioned will probably be on mobile.

I'm probably the only one but I wish there would be a new Hot Shots Golf on the PS4...
There is. Announced at TGS last year.

I picked up Hot Shots Vita last week during the flash sale. Hadn't played one before and I find it way better than Mario Golf. Can't wait for a PS4 version.

I always liked the hot shots series since its debut on ps1. Maybe it the funny characters and/or that there is much to collect. The physics of the game are great too (excluding the super spin that you can apply)

Leading up to E3, it's always nice to have a bit of a refresher.
List didn't include Grim Fandango & other 'PS4 console exclusives' like Magicka 2/Dungeon Defenders 2.
Only SFV as that's the 'big one that gets people talking.' /sarcasm

I don't think he ever mentioned DQ HD remaster, but rather simply DQ on PS4 (which materialized as DQ: Heroes).
I'm still itching to hear what that SEGA exclusive is...the West needs PSO2 really bad.

Hm, IX would be interesting, but that's not very old. And the older ones would require way too much work to get up to modern standards from a gameplay perspective (it would make Type-0 look like child's play).
Don't see it happening unless it's one of the newer titles honestly.
How did you come to that conclusion?
