Sony’s E3 Conference Is Here: Watch, Read, Get ‘Hype’!


Sony’s conference is here. Or at least it will be in about 15 minutes. Come and watch! I’ve been up since 1.30am and my eyeballs are hanging out of their sockets but I am so ready to do this. LET’S DO THIS!

[head hits desk]


10.45
Just a quick word of warning: in my current state, if The Last Guardian gets announced, I will most like shoot rainbows from every orifice in my body. I hope you are prepared for this, my glorious rainbow death.

Also: I really hope Project Beast is a thing. AN ACTUAL THING. Surely it’s a thing.

10.50
What else are you hoping to see? I doubt we’ll see much of Uncharted. That project seems to be in a bit of turmoil. Maybe a God of War game? That’s a possibility.

10.52
Call me crazy but I actually think we might have a chance of Last Guardian action.

10.53
Agree with Totilo: we haven’t had that big reveal yet. All a bit expected. Would love Sony to drop a bomb.

10.56
I guess we still have Nintendo, but without the live presentation, I don’t have the same ‘hype’.

10.58
I’m ready for this. Actually genuinely excited to see what is shown. Hope it’s as lean as Microsoft’s, but I don’t know if that’s possible. They’ll have to focus on Vita, on Project Morpheus, on PS3, on PS4, there is a lot of stuff to get through.

11.00
And here we go…

11.05
What the hell is going on? Destiny? Must be…

Yep. Destiny. Funny how a lot of hype for this title seems to have dissipated recently…

11.08
I still have faith in this game. Bungie knows how to make shooting things fun. Too many developers don’t.

11.10
July 17 for a Destiny beta? There’s one running currently. Still, pretty awesome.

Wait… Destiny first look alpha? Man, I think I need this.

11.11
Who the hell whoops at a new coloured console? Jesus wept…

11.12
The ability to claim the highest fidelity is a big deal. Sony are really milking it here.

11.12
Oh god, I’d recognise Liam Neeson’s voice if it was fucking auto tuned on a Kanye West track.

11.13
Oh wait, it isn’t Neeson? LOL

This game looks fun. Looks like a game where the small things are fun. I like that.

11.17
See — look at Sony. Leading with a fucking sick looking indie game. This is great. A+.

I don’t know what the hell is going on, but I want this game. I want to play it.

And oh shit! I can? Whoa. That’s amazing. Brilliant. Great move.

11.20
Not a massive fan of InFamous 2 to be honest. Looks great but, there were just too many other games I wanted to be playing.

11.21
Hahahahaha! Oh shit LBP3! Yes! Dude just rocks up and starts playing like, what’s up motherfuckers!

And there’s a sackdog? Oh shit. E3 is over. That’s a wrap.

Goddamn, this game looks fantastic. But I’m biased. I love LittleBigPlanet.

11.25
This game is adorable. I’m going to play this with my family and we’re going to drown in adorable rainbows and shit.

11.28
All of a sudden I’m not so interesting in Conker being in Project Spark.

11.29
This Christmas? That’s awesome as well. Didn’t see this coming.

11.30
OOOOHHHHH SHIIIT!

Oh man. I’m so excited for this. Whatever it is. I just don’t care.

11.33
No gameplay. A bit disappointed, but of sweet jesus, this game exists. I can’t wait.

11.34
Okay, this must the Far Cry demo that we posted and was immediately pulled down.

11.37
Sorry, this looks quite good. I’m just recovering from the Bloodborne/From Software news.

11.39
I’m glad that elephant didn’t die. Couldn’t have handled that. You go big elephant.

11.40
Where is that big baritone motherfucker from the Ubisoft conference? Bring that guy on.

11.42
Well, nice trailer. But the first one had a nice trailer as well, so yeah. Not really too bothered about this one.

11.49
What’s going on here! Oh, okay. This is okay. Tim Schafer stuff.

GRIM FANDANGO. Remastered? Yes please. This is good.

11.52
INDIE MONTAGE. It wouldn’t be an E3 conference without an Indie montage. WHEEEEEEEE…

11.54
Let It Die? Hmm. What is this? What’s going on here.

[Great Journey segue]

11.56
I have no idea what this Giant Squid game is, but I love the scale of it, and I will no doubt be playing this game.

On another note: such an incredible variety of titles here.

11.58
No Man’s Sky! Awesome. Was hoping we’d see this!

This game has fucking dinosaurs. It’s over man. What the hell even is this game? Jesus it is so pretty. It looks like it comes from the fucking future.

12.01
“Hi I’m Sean, I’m from the fucking future obviously.”

I mean, seriously. How is this possible. “We’re from this tiny little studio, lol.”

How? Sean, how? Tell me how is this possible?

12.04
Okay Virtual Reality time. Hurray! Let’s get us a wee release date or something.

12.06
This is some serious power music. Is this the WWE? Is Vince McMahon coming?

12.08
Sony has used the word ‘kinect’ more times than Microsoft did in theirs.

12.09
Why would anyone get excited about YouTube on PS4. It’s on 360! Ah well. Cool news I guess.

12.10
I probably should have saved my pee break for this dude. Dammit. I missed the Battlefield trailer for this?

12.14
I miss Jack Tretton. This guy has a really, really shit tie.

12.18
See this is the fat I was talking about. Microsoft’s conference had none of this. Sony dipping into bad habits here. Microsoft was lean. But yeah… Sony’s still dropped some actual proper bombs.

12.21
Mortal Kombat X. Thank the lord that guy finally stopped talking. I don’t care that it’s game I have no interest in.

That being said, I think we need a petition for The Mountain to be in Mortal Kombat.

12.26
This guy’s outfit is seriously missing a pocket watch. And possibly a monocle.

12.30
Okay can we get back to the video games. That would be slamming.

12.33
LOL spoiler alert!

(I don’t know if I really feel like I need to play through The Last Of Us again.)

(Also I’m not really seeing the benefit of this visual upgrade on my shitty stream.)

12.35
I actually haven’t seen this MGS5 trailer. Woo!

12.38
This trailer is actually pretty spectacular.

12.40
Ahahaha — Stephen Totilo you goddamn wizard. How did you call this? How did you know this was coming? Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4? And holy shit at me being able to transfer my 360 save. That’s great.

12.42
And now we get goddamn Batman.

Well this looks fantastic. Proper next-gen games are actually happening.

12.46
Well that was certainly cool. Allayed all my fears about this game. I’m excited for this one. Jeez, I’m running out of things to say.

12.49
Finishes with Uncharted 4. Well that certainly was another great conference. Both Microsoft and Sony really brought it this year.

Thanks for tuning in. I’m actually quite excited about video games now!
