So, E3 is next week...

[BreakfastMan]

...Are you excited? 'Cause I am. E3 is always like Christmas for me. Unfortunately I have finals during the same week this year, which sucks, but I still plan to watch the conferences, grades be danged! > Anyway, this is a thread to talk about E3, what you hope to see, what you are looking forward to seeing, and what you hope to not see. So, have at it.

Personally, I am looking forward to seeing gameplay of the new Hitman game the most. I loved Bloodmoney a lot (I would count it as one of my favorite PS2 games of all time, and my favorite stealth game of all time), so I am really looking forward to seeing what Eidos has cooked up this time... I am also hoping to see gameplay of BG&E2, but I am not expecting anything... Oh yeah, I am also hoping for info on Persona 5 and KHIII. Info on those would make my month.

EDIT: Well... Time to call it. Time of Death: 1:29 P.M. DOA.

I'm super excited. I'm gonna stay up 'til 5AM on monday, school be damned!
I even created an E3 group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/E3], if you're interested, please join!

I used to get excited about E3 but in the last few years it?s been pretty disappointing. I would like to see things that might get me excited again. Big details about new games that nobody?s heard of rather than some logos of new games and extensive details of games we?ve already seen of games we?ve known about for ages.
It?s not about the future of the industry anymore, it?s just about hyping up games that are coming out in a few months.

I am hoping this year will be better. The last two years have been really lackluster in the big conferences, hopefully they step their game up.

I am hoping I don't have to worry about Microsoft focusing on Kinect this year. I'd imagine Sony will have something up their sleeve to attempt to regain some face in the community, and obviously Nintendo has their console they are showing off.

Three words: new Nintendo console
Four words/numbers: not due till late 2012

I'm predicting we'll see Wii Music 2.

In all seriousness though whenever E3 rolls around I always forget about it until I see the highlights.

I'm hoping that this year will have something better than the last couple, Maybe we can finally move past the 'motion control gaming' fad that has plagued last year.

Hoping I'll see more of Silent Hill Downpour and The Darkness 2. Also, Waiting to hear if I can get to play the new Alan Wake on my PS3

E3, ive got about a dozen things to eyeball that ive been keeping track of. Its going to be fu~n.

 

[Manchubot]

I'm most interested in Dark Souls I was a big fan of Demon's Souls and got excited when I read about it on gamespot.

 

[Serving UpSmiles]

Yeah i am.

Good line up this year, with Skyrim and Battlefield 3, also i think the conferences with Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo will go like this.

Sony will unveil the NGP or.....vita...ugh
Microsoft will just show CoD and Gears 3 and they make a showreel of ads, like what Sony did last time.

Nintendo will win.

 

[DustyDrB]

Yeah, E3 is looking to be exciting to me for the first time in at least four or five years.

 

[Daffy F]

Saints Row the Third! I really want to see some gameplay of that, but I'm super excited! Also I can't wait for more videos about Gears of War 3.

 

[iDoom46]

Not really.
I used to get excited about E3, but now I've got more important things going on in my life that kinda take my attention away from it a bit.

And I also used to get together with a bunch of friends and we'd have a week-long E3 watching party, but this year we're all spread out across the country and won't be able to meet up for the viewing, so there's that too.
I'd probably be more excited if we were still having the party, but since we aren't I really don't have much to look forward to.

I'll still probably DVR the event, so I can watch it when I have time and be able to fast-forward through all of the boring stuff/things that aren't of interest to me, but I can't honestly say I'm excited.

Hopes:
Guild Wars 2 release date announced.

Expectations:
Project Cafe reveal

Everything else falls into place behind those two.

I really want me some multiplayer footage for Battlefield 3.
