can anyone confirm if each conference is 2 hours long? last year's conference was too short.

I doubt it will be 2 hours each but thats the time slot they were given. That is enough time to get people to their seats, do their final checks, start and finish the conference and empty the room for the conference.

Are these the timetables for a single conference hall or just when they are expected to start in their respective locations? How can Square Enix and Sony roundtable only use half an hour?

Anyone know where we can watch most (if not all) of these conferences live somewhere. Usually Gamespot (yeah I know everyone hates them) lets you stream, but I don't think they are going to do it this year :(.

I don't mean Live blogs, and as far as I know IGN charges you to watch...

I'm not sure where you are around the globe (gotta love the Internet, eh?), but if you have access to G4 Tech TV, they'll be carrying exclusive coverage.

That's where I watched all the three major keynotes last year.

What's the reason why sony and Ubisoft have a span of 3 hours could they leave room for a lunch I guess? but that's a lot of time for lunch, I believe sony is going to be about and hour or so but not 2 or even 3 hours long.

Either way can't wait to watch it on G4 tv thank god for DVR lol

It they are going to announce it I am sure Sony bought a long exclusive period it will be more like next year. My 360 friends are starting to crack and getting a PS3's

why do you fear it? why does it matter if it gets released on the 360 and how does that affect you?

Especially since you have already played the game. If anything you should feel privilege, I am at least.

The Square Enix press conference is right between MS and Shane Kim. Not saying that it means anything but it sure looks funny.

By your logic Jenzo Capcom will announce Street Fighter 4 will be PS3 exclusive and Prince of Persia for Ubisoft.

2.8 - Not that I think MGS4 is coming to 360 but...
50GB Blu Ray VS 9GB DVD argument is a bit of a moot point. Especially when you factor in all the cutscenes and the 2-3 min load screens inbetween acts and you could EASILY make the argument that multiple disc's would be more than fine for this game. It's completely linear in gameplay and cutscenes so there is no real reason why the game couldn't come out on say 6 discs and just do disc swaps versus the 2-3 min load screens.

2.9 - @SixTwoTwo + Lucreto = The futuretelling mindreaders...
You guys seem to know it all. Your crystal balls must be huge(as for compensation maybe?). Please tell me what's going to happen on E3 since I apparently got it all twisted(without suggesting anything at all).

And Lucreto, please explain to me how my logic works. It must be a coincidence since SquareEnix have announced a bunch of 360 games the last months like Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant. All of a sudden they are supporting the 360 like never before.

Who would have predicted this would happen? Not you and not me. Most of us thought Mistwalker was MS RPG source and that Square Enix saved all their big RPGs for Sony, like they have done in the past years. Seems like it's changing.

Btw, I DO NOT THINK FFXIII IS COMING TO THE 360 SIXTWOTWO, as the deal has already been made between Sony and Square Enix.

3 - wow SONY
is smack-dab in the middle!

i'm guessing this should be the PEAK of the whole show =O

followed by

ZONE OF ENDERS 3 is "hopefully" shown as the last video at E3 (50gb PS3 exclusive of course) leaving everyone's jaw on the floor.

They have their 1st Party titles Resistance 2, little big planet, motorstorm pacific rift, socom, killzone 2, infamous, gran turismo 5, plus home and the video store. And thats just the confirmed stuff.

Microsoft conference 2 hours long.
Nintendo conference 2 and half hours long.
Sony conference 3 hours long.

That just goes to show that Sony has alot more to show off than microsoft, which concludes that sony will steal the show once more! Not even a Halo 4 announcement can stop sony now.

If these times are accurate lets not forget that Sony are the masters of wasting time with slide shows and graphs and charts of PS2 and PSP records and such, so don't go getting too excited. LOLZ!

Was that before or after they kicked Xbox's collective ***?
Because I think that they can show all the charts they want...It's their show. I just really doubt that that's all they'll be showing...

You know they will spend atleast 30 min on the PSP and probably 10 min on the PS2 since its still doing relatively well for them.

I hope for the media's sake that the whole thing is in one conference hall this year. Last year it was all spread out and with a packed schedule like that there's no way everyone could make every conference if it's not all in one building.

Sony has so much stuff that could be shown at E3, it's just crazy. There's just so many games that could be shown that we've known about for a long time, and then there's that secret PS3 game that I'm hoping will be shown at E3 as well. Damn, I can't wait for next week. I'm going to be huddled around my laptop for hours at a time this time next week.

Just to let you know, you left your caps lock on. Wasn't sure if you noticed. God, I hate fanboys...

I'm sure both Sony and MS will have great stuff to show off, but I doubt it will be a massacre. Xbox fans will be excited about xbox stuff, PS fans will be excited about PS stuff, gamers like me will be excited about everything, and N4G will be a fanboy warzone.

As for Nintendo... Mario Lacrosse? I just don't know anymore.

Nice, cant wait, hopefully Sony has some more RPGs up there sleeve, and Microsoft has some more games coming out that interest me (aside from Infinite Undiscovery, Gears 2, Fable 2 Star Ocean 4 there's nothing else atm).

And Nintendo...well I doubt you're going to be offering me much games anymore as a hardcore gamer but I'll gladly accept another Zelda, oh and a Starfox would be nice too =D

~ Bring on E3 & More Games!

Find it weird that Square-Enix's press conference is sandwiched in between Microsoft and Shane Kim??

Why does Microsoft always do everything on the first day? Seems like they shoud spread it out.
