E3 kicks off in a few days’ time and we’re expecting a lot of new hype this year from new game announcements to elaborations on last year’s big reveals.

We’ll be delivering you all the latest information throughout the days of E3, while we’re only officially attending the Xbox Media Briefing due to our late approval we were unable to secure a spot for the other press conferences. But fear not we’ll very close to the action and have access to all the latest information as it is announced.

Our coverage doesn’t stop there, throughout the days we’ve lined-up multiple interviews with different developers and publishers, which we can’t wait to deliver to you all.

To get you all primed for the coverage of next week’s event we put together a quick Q&A covering everything you need to know about E3 this year, from starting times of each conference to predictions.

Our Microsoft E3 Predictions

While the Kinect is effectively buried we will continue to see new IP’s utilizing the power of Kinect, Microsoft will try hard to get some good Kinect IP’s off the ground but ultimately it will be a gimmick.

We’re expecting some new sequels to be announced, what the company might be prototyping with, with Virtual Reality.

Lots of Halo news, from the TV Series, Halo 5: Guardians, the rumoured HD Bundle of Halos 1-4 Halo Master Chief Collection, and with recent announcement of Ridley Scott and his production company Scott Free Productions are working on a digital feature alongside Xbox Entertainment and 343 Industries could we possibly see the first details of a Halo Movie coming to existence?

We’re hoping Microsoft sheds more light on its recent purchase of the Gears of War franchise also.

Our EA E3 Predictions

The usual refreshed roster of sports games will no doubt make their debut either during the kick-off of the press conference or during the half-time of EA’s show. (Editor’s Note: writer tried to imply puns didn’t work out so well.)

More details on the recently confirmed police-themed Battlefield: Hardline that’s set to give the series a tropical taste, from DeadSpace creators Visceral.

Announcements of at least 6 new IP’s, and more elaboration on the recent Star Wars brand acquisition from Disney for the eye-water £2.5bn, will no doubt surface more insight into Star Wars: Battlefront 3 which we predict will coincide with the 2015 launch of Episode 7.

Our Sony E3 Predictions

Last year’s triumphant conference that saw Microsoft and Sony neck and neck with one another, that later saw to comprehensive U-turns on Microsoft’s behalf puts the focus back on games, so where does that leave Sony this year?

No details on the lost project of The Last Guardians, instead look for plenty of details on Project Beast the suspect sequel to Demon’s Souls by From Software. Many more mainstream games from Sony such as DriveClub, Uncharted 4, Destiny and many more.

We’re expect a handful of new IP’s to be teased and more details on Project Morpheus, Sony’s virtual reality headset.

Nintendo E3 2014 Press Conference

Nintendo technically doesn’t have its own press conference this year opting to shy away from the live-show anarchy at E3, however a special Digital Event over the internet at:

Tuesday 10^th June
- 5:00pm GMT
- 6:00pm CEST
- 9:00am Pacific
Wednesday 11^th June
- 4:00am New Zealand
- 2:00am Australia

Our Nintendo E3 Predictions

Given that Nintendo decided to shy away from the lime light that the mainstream developers and publishers take, we can almost guarantee that there will be no new console announced, meaning Nintendo will lack in the competition of next gen.

We can almost guarantee that a new Zelda and Mario game will be announced alongside more Wii U Fit like titles.

Leaving with Nintendo little to nothing new but refreshed titles and a very small amount of IP’s.
