Aye.

Dunno about everyone else here, but I cant bring myself to actually care all that much about it. I'll have a look at articles and videos done for the various events after the fact, but generally only out of sheerest curiosity (and boredom) and only if I actually remember to do so.

Still, I'd be interested to know what others might be waiting for, with this year's E3.

I had some paint that was drying, so I watched that instead.

I dunno, there could be a point where it gets interesting, which is to say, if anyone from the Big Three makes an idiot of themselves on stage. It's happened at E3 before, and it's usually completely hilarious.

True. Sony have become experts at this :lol:

To be honest, I'm getting pretty hyped over Nintendo's showing of the Wii U. The rumours of a beefed up 3DS are interesting too. I really want a Vita too sometime this year.... if that has a good showing as well it might be an expensive year for me!

Looking forward to seeing some new Nintendo software, and the big first party games from Sony and Microsoft too. Half tempted to stop buying games for a while now and save up for some of this stuff when it starts showing up in September no doubt....

Only took interest in Fifa 13 and this sounds cliche, it is pretty much the same as last year :lol: , hoping for some new improvements in the career mode, that will be revealed later on down the line. But the kinnect additions in Fifa 13 just seem gimmicky, and all the talk about more intelligent AI runs and more realistic first touches and dribbling, just reminds people who broken these things are in the current engine.....despite all this, I will still be buying on release day like the sheep I am.

What I really want to hear this year at E3...... Rome 2:Total war!! , Creative Assembly need to make this game!!!

I would love to see something unexpected for once. Something like a surprise next gen reveal or something, no chance of that though.

Yeah, that's what's got me impressed so far...and am I to take it from the end of the video it's multiplayer? I didn't see the show just an edited video, so didn't see anyone talking about it...

It does look really impressive. I'm not sure if it's a mock up or all in game footage as it looked a little too good for a current gen game but either at I'm interested.

Resident evil 6 looks pretty good as well. Bar the overkill of qte's it looks like a decent action game and the controls look like they've been redesigned so they aren't like the tank controls of old (a good thing considering how fast paced the game looks).

For Sony and MS it's the 'end of hardware cycle E3' so wasn't expecting any huge surprises or innovations.

That will come next year with new hardware announcements.

Still a couple of games this year I'm looking forward to.
