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

Lucreto6519d ago

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.

ruibing6519d ago

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?

gaffyh6519d ago

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...

UnSelf6519d ago

Save the best for the last day

Torch6519d ago

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.

gaffyh6518d ago

Thanks Torch (bubbles up), I'm in UK by the way which is 7 hours ahead from the E3 local time

Naucious6518d ago

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

konami's conferance is the last one. i no alot of things sayin xbox 360 wont get mgs4 trust me but i always fear it for some reason

aiphanes6519d ago

50GBs bluray vs 9GB DVD9...that says it all..

Lucreto6519d ago

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

dachiefsman6519d ago

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.

InMyOpinion6519d ago

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

fox026519d ago (Edited 6519d ago )

if only they're more people like you on N4G *sigh*

I hate fanboyz

I hope to see more videos of the upcoming PES

SixTwoTwo6519d ago

I know what your thinking. It ain't happening. Thats final.

Lucreto6519d ago

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

OC_MurphysLaw6519d ago

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.

InMyOpinion6518d ago (Edited 6518d ago )

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.

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.

Forbidden_Darkness6519d ago

More like the Climax of the show. Its built up a little bit, than BAM! Sony steals the show!

Ben10546519d ago

sony 3hrs - microsoft 2hrs

hunter216519d ago

hehe dont forget the lunch break. so i think they have all same time hours

SixTwoTwo6519d ago (Edited 6519d ago )

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.

Forbidden_Darkness6519d ago

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.

chidj26519d ago (Edited 6519d ago )

nothing cant stop sony

even if microsoft put the xbox 360 @ 10 usd

NMC20076519d ago

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!

Commandant6519d ago

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...

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle14d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7714d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg20d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree20d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai20d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde21d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12521d ago (Edited 21d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
