I'm excited! Personally I'm looking forward to what Nintendo is going to show, but I'll be probably watching all of them. It's going to be interesting to see if Microsoft will change what people dislike about the Xbox One, or if they keep it how it is.

Even before E3 has started, we've already got the full trailer for Ubisofts upcoming Watch_Dogs.

For those who don't know, Ubisoft revealed their new IP last year, and blew away critics and audiences with great visuals and a stunning game mechanic: hacking. The reveal was great enough for many critics to claim Ubisoft "won" E3, compared to everyone else's lacking shows (Microsoft/Nintendo).

Watch the full CGI trailer here, before it appears tomorrow!

I'm hoping we get more info regarding FFXIII: Lightning Returns! I know we just got the E3 trailer for it a few days ago but I'm dying for more info.

I'm most looking forward to the Nintendo Direct, most of my favorite games are Nintendo games, and we should be getting some good ones. I'm also interested in what Sony and Ubisoft are doing, and Microsoft's is going to be entertaining if only because it's probably going to suck.

All I care about is how hilariously Microsoft may flop.

I want to see it so badlyyyy. Like, I'm literally hoping they mess up. I couldn't stop laughing at the Xbone reveal, anything that rivals that and it'll be a good, laughter-filled day.

I'm waiting for Microsoft to come out on stage and say "Well, too bad. Shut up and give us your money."
If they're going to reveal games, that's fine. Anymore talk about Xbox One being an 'entertainment system/center' and I'm putting my head through a glass window.

I feel like I'm one of the few who actually are excited about the Xbox One. My family is a big Xbox family. We have four Xbox 360 consoles in our house and along with myself, my father, brother, and two of my sisters each have an Xbox Live Gold Account (Family Plan) and we play regularly. I won't be buying the Xbox One during launch because I'm already guessing I won't have the funds but I'll likely be getting my hands on one sometime mid-2014.

OHHHHHHHHHH

Agh, can't wait. There are so many games I want, and there are so many more games I need. In any case, I hope the conferences this year are better than the ones we saw last time.

Definitely excited! I can't wait to see a teaser for Halo 5 (Come on, they have to show it!). And then hopefully Ubisoft can show some more footage from Rayman Legends. Maybe even hint at those Skywlander-esque toys? I need more Rayman toys!!

Well its not really a surprise anymore. : P

Sounds interesting though, a new Conker Banjo-Kazooie would be great.

Nothing too interesting at Microsoft. Spark looks kind of cool, but it's not enough for me to buy an XBOX One, I'll probably be going for PS4 since Microsoft isn't wowing me at all.

lol $499, no way I'm buying One. There's no way that's any cheaper than PS4 is going to be.

Very disappointed to be honest. Price point is extremely poor and no games have that "must-have" factor other than maybe the new Halo, and that's slated for 2014.

Don't forget:
  • D4. A murder mystry game that takes place on a plane.
  • Titanfall. Mechs everywhere.
  • New Xbox 360 with Xbox One like design.
  • Below. A new indie game.

@Zoura: I agree that the price, sheesh, but the indie games and MGS5 brought me back. I guess its all about the price of the PS4 now.

I liked pretty much all the games Microsoft showcased for Xbox One. The price makes me want to faint though. My dad's getting it on launch though, I'll probably wait until late next year.

Some of the games looked pretty cool (Project Spark, Titanfall, Dead Rising 3), and of course the new Halo. Speaking of Halo, I think it should be interesting to note that it wasn't given an official name. Previous Halo titles were revealed at E3 with the full name (Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo Wars, Halo 4, etc.). This was just "Halo", not Halo 5.

Pros:
- lots of exclusives and new IPs
- Witcher 3 was shown (fantastic franchise, unfortunately not heavily known)
- all games, no bullshit TV stuff

Cons:
- $499 haha nope
- start of Battlefield 4 showing lololol
- no discussion of DRM and other limitations
- not discussed, but rumors of downsizing the RAM due to expensive cards
- no Mirror's Edge 2, despite rumors
