E3 2011 Conference

nCogNeato · May 25, 2011, 02:44:20 PM

The dates for E3 2011 have been announced, and you can mark June 6-9 on your calendar now and then just sit and wait for G4's coverage of the world's biggest video game conference. As always, we'll be bringing you every major press conference, live and streaming, plus tons of exclusive game demos from the G4 stage. On top of that, the crack G4 staff will be reporting on all of the biggest E3 2011 news and announcements and bringing you hands on previews of every major game on the show floor.

We already know that Nintendo has announced their next console, Project Cafe, and you can expect to hear plenty about what they have planned. In addition, here are some of our best guesses as to what we'll find when the E3 Expo kicks off:

• Sony E3 2011 Press Conference
• Microsoft E3 2011 Press Conference
• Nintendo E3 2011 Press Conference
• EA E3 2011 Press Conference
• Ubisoft E3 2011 Press Conference
• Grand Theft Auto 5
• Bungie's First Post-Halo Game
• Halo 4
• Bioshock Infinite
• Assassin's Creed 3
• Twisted Metal
• Half-Life 3: Episode 3
• Diablo 3
• Resistance 3
• Borderlands 2
• Uncharted 3
• Rage
• Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
• Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
• Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
• Madden NFL 12
• Soul Calibur 5
• Shadow Complex 2
• Left 4 Dead 3
• Playstation NPG
• Nintendo Wii HD
• Street Fighter X Tekken

Of course, some of this is baseless speculation. Some of these games are confirmed, but many aren't, and there will probably be plenty of games we never saw coming.

Valve have said they won't be there so take L4D3 off that list, unless Gabe makes a surprise appearance like last year of course!

I'm sure there's going to be a grip of videos floating around in the next week. Here's a starter:

Halo 4 confirmed by Microsoft

Oopsy daisy! With just over two hours to go until its E3 press conference, Microsoft has – apparently by mistake - published a series of major announcements on Xbox.com – including news that "Halo 4 is on the way".

The information, images of which can be seen below, has since been removed, but in addition to Halo, Dance Central 2, Kinect Sports Season 2 and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary were all outed. Surprise!

Xbox.com described Halo 4 as "the news millions of Halo fans have waited for", while the long-awaited Halo HD remake is described as: "The epic game that launched a universe, remastered for a new generation".

Two further unannounced Kinect game were listed. In Ryse, "you are the warrior in this cinematic, action-packed Kinect experience". Meanwhile, Kinect Fun Labs is "a fun new app" with "crazy, cool new gadgets".

Hitler invaded Poland once.......... wait, we've been there before!!!

I've not even played Reach yet!

I was kind of hoping they would do a Halo HD Collection (Halo 1 & 2). That certainly seems to be a popular theme this year.

GamerMan316 · June 06, 2011, 04:41:37 PM

MW3 up first, and it looked extremely....................... MW2 like!!!

Looked pretty cool in fairness.

GamerMan316 · June 06, 2011, 04:51:11 PM

Tomb Raider looked stunning, Peter Moore saying that FIFA, Tiger & Madden will all feature Kinect, also one other game not yet mentioned.

GamerMan316 · June 06, 2011, 05:04:57 PM

YouTube coming to Xbox Live.

GamerMan316 · June 06, 2011, 05:22:50 PM

Halo Anniversary coming November 15th.

Gears 3 looked sweet, Ice-T joining Cliffy B on stage and then announced he's reuniting Bodycount to do a song for the game!

GamerMan316 · June 06, 2011, 05:28:19 PM

Fable: The Journey being played with Kinect, looks decidedly average!
