So looking at last years thread Sony has more a bit more space this year and additionally three booths of unknown size.
Half Life 3 confirmed?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Does Nvidia usually reserve that big of a space for E3?

Looking back on the past 2-3 year No.

 

[Piggus]

The size differences between Xbox >>> Nintendo > Sony, correlates pretty well with how many exclusive games I was expecting. I guess Scorpio won't really be playable(?).

Of course it will be playable. The Scorpio isn't a new-gen system with its own games. It's just their version of a mid-gen system like the PS4 Pro. You can expect games that we already know about to be running on it at 4K.

 

[big_z]

Wonder why microsoft is right next to Square enix? Could that mean they have something Square related to show? Or am I read reading too much into it?

six month exclusive for ff7r.

[Floody]

So it'll be PlayStation vs Nintendo hallway this year?

six month exclusive for ff7r.

Square are playing all 3 fanbases. FF7R Ep1 is PlayStation exclusive, Ep2 MS exclusive and Ep3 Switch exclusive!

I like that nividia and nintendo are all buddy'd up

Did they already start the final production run? I was expecting empty shells and pc approximations.

I honestly thought Nintendo was done with E3.

They're always at E3.

wut

 

[unknownstranger]

This strikes me as weird, you'd think now that E3 is open to the public they would want to have the most space with Scorpio launching later this year.
Setup boots so attendees could get hands-on with the new system, need pictures of the floors and the setups.

I doubt there's going to be many (if any) demos on the show floor with Scorpio. They're going to likely have everything at their press conference running on Scorpio, as well as some stage shows, but I don't think any non-media will get their hands on it.

Certainly doesn't inspire confidence in having playable demos of exclusive titles.

No one should have been confidant about that anyway.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Did Capcom get a bigger booth? I remember their stuff almost being non-existent a year or two ago.

 

[Jackano]

Nintendo and Nvidia hanging out together.

My thought exactly

Looks about the same as 2016.

What exclusive titles?

Mostly everything is multi-platform for them now.

You can fit a lot of game kiosks in 17,000sqft. They said they weren't doing a traditional spectacle and just filling the floor with games to play. They're not building a Minecraft card ride with animatronic creepers. IDK, I still think the announcements would be at the presser not on the show floor.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

So it'll be PlayStation vs Nintendo hallway this year?

Assuming Microsoft keeps doing what it's been doing the past few years and that might be the better match-up, IMO.

Unless they have the games to back up the Scorpio reveal with, it's pretty much a fight between Ninty & Sony now.

I mean floor space is one thing but a lot of the floor is spent on third party games and marketing partners.

Yeah, I think they're over it.

Don't go into E3 expecting a lot of new MS games.

Just as I suspected, unfortunately.

Most games are from third parties.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

Don't go into E3 expecting a lot of new MS games.

Yeah, you're right. Looking forward to State of Decay 2 though.

 

[Dahbomb]

Capcom USA booth bigger than SE.

Enough space to hold a DMC5 playable build booth.

 

[LiquidSolid]

Interesting that the 4122 booth is labelled SIE Europe instead of SIE America. Do they usually do that? I can't remember.

For reference, here's last year's floor plans:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1226481

Basically, Sony's booth is significantly larger, Microsoft's is significantly smaller and Nintendo's is basically the same. A bunch of published have smaller booths. And Activision and Bandai Namco are back.

 

[foxbeldin]

Can i expect a lot of new Sony games ?

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Was referring less to the amount of floor space and more to how that hallway pits Sony against Nintendo rather than Microsoft now.

Without non PC-too exclusives, Microsoft doesn't have much to distract the average consumer from Nintendo and Sony's offerings, IMO.

 

[TannerDemoz]

no one else shocked by the warner bros. space? Surely that's not their normal size?!

 

[Floody]

Pretty sure they usually just have their games in either Sony's or MS' booths.

 

[Cartho]

I quite like that we've got Sony squaring up across a hallway with Ninty again. It's like the good ol' days of Playstation Vs N64.

I don't think floor space size really can tell us much about what MS have got to show but I'm not expecting a blowout of stunning exclusives. I'm expecting to hear "native 4k" over and over again, with screenshots which don't really look wildly different from a checkerboard 4k game on PS4 Pro.

That's my cynical hot take though, very prepared to eat crow if MS pull something wondrous out of the bag like a From soft exclusive.

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

No.

 

[Calm Mind]

Or Deep Down. Now Scorpio exclusive.

 

[foxbeldin]

No.

E3 is dad.

 

[Kolx]

Did Sony have a booth as large as this in the previous years?

 

[SPCTRE]

Kentia Is Nigh

 

[Nictel]

Microsoft has moved most of its boothspace to the cloud.

 

[J@hranimo]

Might be for something something higher budget PSVR games?

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Don't go into E3 expecting a lot of new MS games.

How many is a lot?

 

[Platy]

All those spaces, all that potential for announcements...

That's probably 2-3 years away at least.

That didn't stopped lots of games like FF7 remake, Shenmue3, FF15..

 

[Baleoce]

Nintendo and Nvidia hanging out together.

That was the first thing I noticed as well xD

 

[Drazgul]

Wow. Bethesda has some huge chunk. Did they had that much space in 2016?

Yeah about the same. 2015 they were smaller.


Where's my TaleWorlds at though? My nipple clamps are ready for new Bannerlord footage.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Nice to see Bethesda making all that room for The Evil Within 2.

 

[Kayant]

Sony also has five meeting rooms

Sony with that stacked afterparty 😮

Microsoft has moved most of its boothspace to the cloud.

👌👌👌
