An exclusive surprise discussion with renowned figures.

So much to look forward to. This is an awesome idea.

 

[A Grizzly Bear]

This is 2 days after E3, right?

No, this is during E3. Conferences actually happen before the show opens.

 

[WordsintheWater]

So much push on Spider-Man and GoW... Can't help think now that either / both might be slated for late 2017.

Imagine, outside marketing deals, a PS4 lineup with Gran Turismo in September, God Of War in October, Spider-Man in November (alongside the video release), and Knack 2 and Dreams (maybe beta at least?) in December for family titles...

If that all happens it would be probably one of the best/craziest years in gaming.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Good. Sony have plenty of other games to focus on, and DS can come back next year when there will be some actual gameplay ready to show.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Sounds wonderful, great selection of panels. I wonder if Geoff will run over to give Kojima a quick cheek smooch during his segment.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Again, if you want Nintendo, you have the Treehouse stream.

I'd be surprised if Geoff didn't try to get some Nintendo coverage. They're likely not interested, due to Treehouse Live. Which I kind of think is a mistake, but whatever.

What OrbitalBeard said. Sure I do have Treehouse, but a thing like this where everyone but Nintendo is present is kinda strange. Showing off a bit of Mario Odyssey to a crowd that doesn't even know what the Treehouse is is never a bad thing.

 

[Calm Mind]

Viewership on Tuesday to plummet between the times of 2:15 PM and 2:45 PM.

 

[Pachimari]

Is this on Geoff's Youtube channel? What is it called again?

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

What OrbitalBeard said. Sure I do have Treehouse, but a thing like this where everyone but Nintendo is present is kinda strange. Showing off a bit of Mario Odyssey to a crowd that doesn't even know what the Treehouse is is never a bad thing.

Hard to have prepared answers for on the fly question. Also Nintendo has shown off games on IGN and Twitch streams during Tree House years this is Nintendo not wanting to answer fan questions since this seems to be a panel discussion.

 

[veloxStrix]

12:30 PM — 1:30 PM:
World Builders
Join host Chris Hardwick for a keynote discussion about building worlds across entertainment mediums, with a focus on video games. Hardwick will be joined by astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson, director James Gunn, Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford, and 343 Industries’ Kiki Wolfkill.

I hate Neil Degrasse Tyson with a simmering but constant passion. No clue why he is even on this.

 

[kulapik]

If you don't know what the Treehouse is, you won't know what this stream is.

 

[Turkoop]

Interested in 12 panels

 

[DangerMouse]

Nice!

God of War, Spider-Man, and Crash hype.
Interested in a lot of these panels.

Also, S-E with seemingly two announcements.

I am hoping for a Psychonauts 2 trailer

That would be cool.

The other Square enix is probably DQ XI.

I would be cool that. It would be neat to see it getting some highlight time in one of these panels to get some more attention on it after it finally gets confirmed for US release (hoping it somehow gets into Sony's conference with a release date or at least window for the extra visibility).

 

[Turkoop]

But I'm concerned about one thing, there are almost no secret unannounced titles, I remember last year the schedules were full with them. I was hoping to see Dying Light 2

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Must see Big Show interviewing Parsons.

 

[Kayant]

#GoWdemowasfake

Sweet with me being on holiday now from uni I got time to watch these 😀

 

[border]

Almost all of these sound incredible. I would love to be there. It sounds like the new E3 is going to be more like ComicCon.

 

[DangerMouse]

Interested in 12 panels

.

Hyped.

 

[FelipeMGM]

But I'm concerned about one thing, there are almost no secret unannounced titles, I remember last year the schedules were full with them. I was hoping to see Dying Light 2

Well my friend, your wishes for more Dying Light just might be answered...

 

[TrojanAg]

Going to be hard to see the show floor and a lot of these panels since there are so many good ones. How many people does the venue hold because I'm a little worried about getting in?

 

[Crazy Diamond]

So, a "surprise discussion" is slated for 6... Well...

 

[sinonobu]

Do we know what mysterious SE game is?

 

[Floody]

Do we know what mysterious SE game is?

Life is Strange maybe? Can't think of anything else they've announced. Pretty sure they have their own conference to come still, so might be shown there.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

5:30–6 PM:
Square Enix
Join the team at Square Enix for a developer showcase, revealing new details about a game that will be announced for the first time at E3 2017.

???

 

[sinonobu]

Life is Strange maybe? Can't think of anything else they've announced. Pretty sure they have their own conference to come still, so might be shown there.

Oh I forgot that Life is Strange is SE published.

And SE doesn't have press conference btw

???

I guess this was for new Life is Strange game

 

[kitsunelaine]

Life is Strange maybe? Can't think of anything else they've announced. Pretty sure they have their own conference to come still, so might be shown there.

I don't think SE is doing a conference??? If they are, this is the first I've heard of it. They just have their generic Square Enix Presents lineup, which isn't a conference.

 

[Marmaladefire]

Is SE really having a Conference?.. Why?

Spoiler

TOMB RAIDER MOBILE

Edit: it's really for the best that they don't

 

[Exentryk]

Hmm...

 

[Fraxin]

Hmm...

The description makes it sound more of a game that Square had something to do with it's development rather than just publishing.

Why would I want to see the team for Square Enix regarding Life is strange?

If it was Tomb Raider, it would be more of join the team at Crystal Dynamics for example.

 

[Pachimari]

How many hours till this is starting? 4 hours?

 

[Nauren]

That was awesome sand art of GoW.

 

[TissueBox]

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Where to watch the full panels? Sony is streaming their own coliseum panels but where to watch all the others?

 

[kulapik]

Hmm...

That's Life is Strange, probably.

 

[Playsage]

Where to watch the full panels? Sony is streaming their own coliseum panels but where to watch all the others?

On the Gameslice Channel

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

On the Gameslice Channel

Nice thanks.

 

[Nauren]

I do like Chris Hardwick.
