E3 2014 is upon us once again, and this year aims to be a software slugfest. With all next gen consoles on the shelves the Big Three are going to be focusing on the titles their respective systems will deliver to the game-hungry masses. We here at Big Shiny Robot! will be sure to keep you updated on the latest comings and goings of the event. We’ve got a man on the ground and our eyes on the web; so keep us refreshing as the news hits.
The conference schedule is as follows:
930 AM Pacific 1030 Mountain Time – Microsoft Press Event
Microsoft will surely be leading of with the heavy hitters releasing this year, and I’d bet the fortune I just gave that Nigerian prince to save his family that they will end with Halo 5 game play or at least plot description. While we can imagine the chest thumping they will also most likely show some new software features for the Xbox One and maybe unveil the next season of KI characters too?
12:00 PM Pacific 1:00 Mountain Time – EA Event
EA will pimp their next generation of sports titles, and I’m sure will start talking about a new Battlefield title. The big news we’re looking for from them is what Star Wars titles they’re working on with the exclusive licensing. Maybe this year we’ll get to see more of that Battlefront title they teased last year?
3:00 PM Pacific 4:00 PM Mountain Time – Ubisoft
Ubisoft will undoubtedly show off Assassin’s Creed Unity in greater depth, and who knows, maybe they’ll start to discuss a new Splinter Cell, show us some more Rabbids, the sky is the limit! Truthfully more details on “The Division” is the real boatload here, though it has been delayed, the game still looks to be extremely awesome.
6:00 PM Pacific 7:00 PM Mountain Time – Sony Press Event
Finally Sony will wrap up the day with undoubted chest thumping for their brand and a massive list of titles releasing. You can already see a large list of what they will be discussing on the PlayStation Blog, with many surprises with held. We can count on more discussion around Uncharted 4, The Last Guardian, Destiny, and a whirlwind of others. If all goes well PlayStation Now will get a price and solid date, and the world can continue moving forward.
Tuesday June 10th 9:00 AM Pacific Time 10:00 Mountain Time – Nintendo Press Event
Nintendo will be holding their E3 Digital event bright and early tomorrow for you west coasters. If all goes well we can get the final roster and a date for Smash Bros. I’m sure we’ll hear some Mario Kart 8 chest thumping, and hopefully we can be given a huge list o new IP coming to push the WiiU forward. Or maybe we’ll get a back pedal and a plan change. (the latter statement is doubtful as Nintendo believes in their ways religiously.)
Keep our E3 section tabbed in your browser and we’ll keep feeding you the juicy details from Los Angeles. The celebration begins shortly, I hope you’ve brought your a game!
