Road To E3 2016: EA

By: Tyler Miller

June has arrived at last! So you know what that means? E3 2016 will be upon us very soon, and us gamers will be swimming in all the new game reveals and announcements that all the developers and publishers give us. With E3 coming up, I felt that it would be fun to talk about what I’m looking forward to, and what I hope doesn’t happen at each of the press conferences. Since I don’t play PC games, I won’t be doing one of these posts for the PC press conference so I apologize for those that are interested in that show. With all of that out of the way, let’s kick this off with EA who has the first press conference of the show.

E3 2016 Press Conference Schedule

By: Tyler Miller

It’s the middle of May which means that E3 (A.K.A. Christmas for gamers) is right around the corner! As per usual, the different press conferences this year will be live streamed online for those of us that can’t attend to watch online. Below is the list of press conferences and the times that they will be at, so make sure you write them down. You don’t want to miss out on these shows!

EA: June 12, 1 PM PST / 4 PM EST

Bethesda: June 12, 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST

Microsoft: June 13, 9:30 AM PST / 12:30 PM EST

PC Gaming Show: June 13, 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST

Ubisoft: June 13, 1 PM PST / 4 PM EST

Sony: June 13, 6 PM PST / 9 PM EST

Nintendo: Nintendo will not be having a press conference or Nintendo Direct this year, and will instead be having a full day of Nintendo Treehouse: Live starting on June 14th at 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST.

Of note is that there is no news as for whether or not Square Enix will hold a press conference this year since they did last year. They have announced though that they will hold a “Square Enix Presents” live show where they will make game announcements and have discussions with game developers about their games. There will also be another Active Time Report taking place during E3 as well, so maybe more Final Fantasy XV news will be revealed then as well? Only time will tell.

What show are you most looking forward to this year? Leave your answer in the comments below!

By: Tyler Miller

Titanfall 2 Gets Its First Teaser Trailer

By: Tyler Miller

It’s been a few years since the first Titanfall came out, so it’s finally time for the sequel to make its big appearance. The teaser for Titanfall 2 is short, showing only a drop pod, a titan, and its giant sword in a jungle environment, all with narration in the background about being a hero. The narration probably has something to do with the single player campaign that the game has, but we’ll have to wait until June 12 to find out more about the much anticipated game.

Gears of War 4 Gets Itself A Short New Trailer

By: Tyler Miller

I hope you aren’t tired of “The Sound of Silence” thanks to all the Sad Affleck memes, because it’s featured in the newest trailer for Gears of War 4. The trailer itself plays up the “one long night in the woods” theme that the game is going for and it looks pretty grim for protagonist JD. We also get to see his daddy Marcus though at a happier time in their lives, so it’s not a totally grim trailer. Not the most amazing trailer, but still a nice one nonetheless.

Gears of War 4 hits Xbox One later this year on October 11.
