PrE3view: Monday, June 1, 2009 (Day 2)

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 1st 2009 11:30AM

Okay, so E3 proper won't technically start until tomorrow, but that doesn't mean we have a dearth of journalistic activities lined up for today. We've got a few huge press conferences to attend today, including the first appearance of one of the Big Three. Will Microsoft unveil its oft-rumored motion camera technology? Is Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to 360? Will we hear shocking revelations about the Zune HD? Will J Allard bite the head off a live chicken? We'll find out in just a moment.

Here's our schedule for the day! Make sure you hang around for teh scoops, and what have you.

Monday, June 1, 2009 (Presented in Eastern Standard Time)

1:25 pm -- Microsoft Media Briefing (get your Bingo cards out, folks!)
3:15 pm -- Xbox Live Panel with Marc Whitten
4:00 pm -- EA Press Conference
7:00 pm -- Ubisoft Press Conference
12:00 am -- Guitar Hero Special Event (with special, secret guests)

it's going to be a slow day at work.

Slow? Don't be mad because you're not there to cause some sort of toilet paper and toothpick related explosion.

I believe GameTrailers is streaming too.

J. Allard biting the head off a live chicken? I don't seem to have that on my Bingo card....

You must have the wrong card. Mine has that and shotgun wielding Peter Moore sabotages conference.

Damn you Kaz Hirai! That's the last time I accept a Bingo card and a copy a Ridge Racer (Ridge Racer!) from a stranger.

We want Wolfenstein!

Correction: You want Wolfenstein. I could care less.

"I could care less"

A bold statement indeed.

Correction: Your mum also wants Wolfenstein

Correcting the correction: My bum wants Wolfenstein.

I have a feeling they'll unveil Perfect Dark XBLA and it will be ready to download immediately or after their conference (sony and ms like to do that stuff).

They'll probably announce MGS 4 sub-whatever, but hopefully that's not their end of show megaton...because a port of a year old game isn't that big of a deal.

I'm really hoping the Rare game is Blast Corps 2. I know that will likely never happen, but a man can dream.

They'll also waste a lot of time unveiling some new halo game, because we can't have a MS conference without talking about halo :(

"...because we can't have a MS conference without talking about halo"

Except, last years Microsoft Conference.

Queue up Peter Moore Halo respone in 5.....

They didn't talk about Halo last year, but ODST will definitely be talked about onstage this year.

Ahh but they unveiled ODST at last year's TGS conference, so that counts :P

They could've talked about it, Bungie actually back peddled on it since MS was wanting FF13 to steal the show so ODST announcement was delayed till TGS.

Perfect dark will be around August/septembertime if i remember rightly from 4J stuido's talk, The yet anounced N64 Port also for Rare

Wait. I.. Agree with you tmac...

Blast Corps 2 would be such a sweet ass announcement. What a kick ass N64 game, as well as soundtrack.

forgot to mention Kojima's "next" game

Microsoft will announce a merger with Sony today for the beginning development of the next-gen PS360. Really. I have a mole.

*Punches you in the face for speaking such blasphemy*

Have you seen a doctor about that?

Personally, I'm hoping for Zune HD related news above all else.

I've yet to take the iPod/Zune plunge, so the Zune HD could end up being the deciding factor.

Would they talk about the Zune at a gaming conference? Wouldn't it make more sense to discuss the Zune at a tech show?

@ T

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/26/microsoft-unveils-zune-hd-zune-marketplace-headed-to-360/

There's no reason they wouldn't discuss the Zune HD at a gaming conference.

curse you eastern time!!

Seriously, can't joystiq use pacific time since that's the time zone E3 is in?

1 hour 43 minutes and 20 seconds until MS press conference.

Where are you guys going to listen/watch the conference live?

if i'm watching this (i don't own a 360... sooooo) i would go to ign, i watched sony's confrence live from there last year, on a bad connection, and i got great quality.

Gametrailers is supposedly streaming in HD, but they haven't set up any early access to it.

I think I watched IGN's last year, was decent enough for quality and you could preload the page.

I only care about Guitar Hero/Rock Band info, so I'll be tuned in at twelve. Sounds very exciting. Hopefully they will confirm David Bowie as an in-game character.

Is anyone else actually more excited about the Ubisoft? Beyond Good & Evil 2 and all that.

Ubisoft conference. Sorry about the typo. Anyway a new Rayman platformer would be awesome too.

There isn't going to be any BGE&2. It's going to be Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed, RUSE, Rabbids and a few others but no BGE. Sorry. I'd be happy for a new Ghost Recon announcement though :)

Well even if there's no BG&E, at least they'll have Joel McHale

When do we include Apple and call it the Big Four.

i think GH Event's "Secret" Guest is gonna be Van Halen
or whoever is next in the GH:Band series

hopefully its the jonas brothers their music is just so great
