Figured we might as well have a dedicated thread for these considering how much discussion they'll generate. The following are the start times for the various conferences today, June 14th 2010:

1:30 PM EST - Microsoft Press Conference
5:00 PM EST - EA Press Conference
8:00 PM EST - Ubisoft Press Conference

(Thanks to Stevey for this info)

"Live streams of MS:

http://e3.ign.com/2010/live/

If you're at home
Spike TV is showing MS live
G4 too busy showing Goldfinger to show MS's but they will have EA and UBisoft later"

Looking forward to the discussion as we catch our first glimpses of gaming's future.

I'll try to get two threads like this up tommorow for Nintendo and Sony as well.

Thanks, I was just about to pull up that info myself.

I won't get home until after 2PM, so I will just download it later from GameSpot (or someplace else). Same with Sony and Nintendo.

I think it would be better to have separate threads for each conference (or at least a separate one for Nintendo). They're so close together (especially Nintendo and Sony) that discussions are going to get confusing fast.

Very well, as you wish. I'll convert this to Day 1 Press Conferences (Microsoft, with minor discussion of EA and Ubisoft) only.

None of this 'as you wish' crap. I have no power here. I'm just throwing out my vote like everyone else.

Yeah, that "Forum Moderator" tag under your name gives you no power whatsoever.

Anyone going to try out the irc chatroom? (irc://browsingtheinternet.com/NWR)

broodwars · « **Reply #9 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:29:52 PM »

Microsoft Press Conference is starting in a few minutes. As for the IRC Chat, I don't think I can access it from work, so I'll stick to this (I'm using the gametrailers feed, FYI).

Spike TV has the Microsoft conference live and commercial free.

I believe that's the Gametrailers feed as well.

Conference started with footage for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Meh.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #12 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:35:04 PM »

There isn't a liveblog of Microsofts conference is there?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:35:42 PM »

Conference started and CoD: BO looks pretty good graphically.

edit: Is Solid Snake flying the helicopter?

Indeed, and now that we're into gameplay footage I do like the smaller scale conflicts in this game (as opposed to Modern Warfare's all-out battles). Games like this just aren't my kind of thing.

Toruresu · « **Reply #15 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:38:27 PM »

IRC chan seems dead.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:40:09 PM »

I don't have IRC on this channel

you guys wanna get on something else?

Googlechat?MSN? or something along those lines?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:41:03 PM »

Black Ops looked pretty damn good though.

broodwars · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:41:15 PM »

What a shock...Microsoft bought First Release rights to Activision DLC (at least for Call of Duty) until 2013.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:46:53 PM »

MGS Rising looks like it would make the perfect Wii or Move game

broodwars · « **Reply #20 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:47:13 PM »

Kojima's on stage with his successor showing off Metal Gear Solid Rising, and I have to admit that's a pretty badass trailer. I love the ability to slice enemies and environmental objects into pieces with what looks like pretty good precision.

broodwars · « **Reply #21 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:51:21 PM »

Gears of War 3 - Well, it's pretty...ish, I guess. It looks exactly like every screenshot I've seen of previous Gears of Wars games.

EDIT: Ooh...orbital satellite kill lasers. Cool!

broodwars · « **Reply #22 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:55:13 PM »

Oh Christ, here's comes The Moleneux. Let's see how much he extremely overhypes his own games this year, starting with Fable 3.

EDIT: Fable 3 = Not Impressed.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:58:35 PM »

I guess it's cool that Crytec is making a game for Xbox, but they showed no gameplay at all.
This conference is having a hard time holding my interest.

Toruresu · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:59:23 PM »

But its HALO!!

lol, so far its a dud of a conference for me.
