Too early to call "new IP" on that. Prototypes are just experimental things that were not even greenlit yet. Most studios always have at least one of those going on, it's extremely common and not an indicator of anything.

Surprised Bethesda has such a large booth. What do they have after Prey releases besides Quake Champions?

Can you yell at UBI to ask them to learn how to implement competent multiplayer in their games?

i really dont see how scorpio demos out in the retail spaces would help it gain traction. the average consumer wont see a difference to their current xb1/ps4 visuals. you demo things like kinect, vr, and motion controls. not teraflops.
It would be a first Sony released The Last of Us and Puppeteer two new IPs in the last few months of the PS3 lifecycle.

What if MS wanted to be next to Activision, Bethesda, etc? Maybe they'll be showing their games on Scorpio spec.
My money is on a big pirate ship.

I don't get the whole 'maybe scorpio won't have much support/maybe there aren't that many games for release'. It doesn't have its own line-up as such, every Xbox one game is for Scorpio too. The Xbox one lineup shouldn't be particularly bad this year and around scorpio's launch (right?).
Scorpio is basically Microsoft's equivalent to the PS4 Pro. I doubt it'll make a splash big enough to warrant every big publisher to suddenly start showcasing their games on it.

Wouldn't you want to display the best version of your games? Makes sense. Not saying it will happen, but it would be feasible.

I'm sure they'll get a few things from EA to show off.
PC versions exist, and those don't rely on niche hardware that is yet to come out.
I don't know, it just sounds a bit premature to think that third-parties are going to be lining up to co-promote Microsoft's mid-gen spec bump.

Releasing poisonous scorpions on the public show flor would indeed bring a lot of attention to them despite their smaller booth size... slightly illegal, but guerrilla marketing and all that
.If that was the case every game would be displayed on a PC with Titan X SLI
Doesn't Sega Europe handle PC games? So probably the Total War series has something new coming up.
Wolfenstein 2 is heavily rumoured.

The bookmarks I had for pages showing this Currently Exhibiting element now return 302 Found (redirection). Perhaps that resource was published in error after all. Similar things happened last year and in 2015.
Luckily I saved everything of interest in case further restrictions are enabled.

They're going to have another press conference this year so we'll find out.
But at the very least there's TESO: Morrowind, Skyrim Switch, and a 90% chance of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus. Would not be surprised if they announce Dishonored expansion content focusing on Meagan. Also whatever Tango Gameworks is working on, whether that's TEW2 or something else. That's enough to fill out a booth, I think.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't expect it to be playable at this point, but a trailer, details, or any type of bullet points about the game would be nice. Capcom pls.

They're currently doubling their staff so I reckon a new announcement is imminent
New Colossus, baby. Lets go.

MS doesn´t need much space to show only three games.
Not really, because PS5 will launch in 2020 imho.

I today saw a list of booths for Nintendo of America. We know since before that they have three booths in West Hall. But the list included mention of one more item, the LACC theater:

The booth theater has a 10x10 space connected to it, which I am not sure about. The info page on the theater shows this:

Have they used this theatre before? Like for the NWC or Smash competition?

They have used the 411 Theater for some years now. Sometimes for presentations regarding a specific title, sometimes for buyer events etc.

Starting March 10, 2017, the E3 2017 floorplans have been updated (slightly).
South Hall
No greater changes. Quite a few booths have been reserved, smaller changes in layout. Booth 947 is now labeled as eSport.
West Hall
Minor changes. Booth 4556 now says reserved, but Sony has it still.
Concourse Hall
This is mislabeled as E3 2012 for whatever reason. But it is for E3 2017.

I seem to have missed that Microsoft has booked a second booth, 1769 in South Hall. The floorplans posted earlier may not reflect the current size of the booth, for a list I have access to has the booth as 10x10 and not 30x30. Version 3 of the floorplans should become available soon (version 3 of both West Hall and Concourse Hall is already available, I'll look through the files and see if anything major has happened).

Booths are where the kiosks are loaded up, right? Or is it something different?

Correct.
Also, Konami's E3 2017 meeting space is 40% bigger than what they had last year.
Phil said in the IGN podcast they got rid of the useless 50ft screens and moved the meeting rooms to other locations to only have game stations throughout their whole area. This is the best as more people will be focused on playing the games instead of having a few stations to play and a continuous loop of a trailer on a 50ft screen
This E3 is open to the public so let them play more
