Volition announced their new game Agents of Mayhem which takes place in the Saints Row universe

Volition announced their new game Agents of Mayhem which takes place in the Saints Row universe

Ah right, I forgot about that one.  I love the art style, it's great to see more games having fun with less realistic designs.  I just watched the trailer as I was surprised to hear it was Saints Row related in any way, but yeah, it is.  Guess it's some alt-universe thing, since Earth is gone in the Saints Row timeline and this is clearly way in the future, which needs a functioning Earth lol Should be fun as Volition knows how to do that right as they've been doing it well for years.

Also got the recent square enix announcements.

Deus Ex GO
Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD Remix Last Chance Final Memory Countdown to Fun Ultimate Party Story Time.

I've been hearing a lot lately about how people are amazed how people loved WatchDogs, then it came out and everyone hated it, and now everyone loves WatchDogs 2, but everyone will probably hate it.  I personally loved Watch Dogs, I'd go so far to say it was my game of the year for 2014.  There was so much more they could've done with the game, but it was still a very good game, and I liked Aiden Pearce.

Killing Floor 2 on PS4   

[fighterpilot562]

Hoping Ace Combat 7 shows up, maybe see some upcoming DLC/Mods for Fallout 4. Maybe a little no mans sky since they delayed it.

[redblaze57]

Something else Bloodstained is going to be there with a demo. Also from it's kickstarter page

"And I have some exciting news: We’ll be showcasing a playable demo at E3. In addition to that, we'll be giving the demo to all backers at $60+ tiers.

This E3 preview is a simple playable demo and tutorial of this Minerva stage. The lesser demons we've introduced in the last update (Morte, Seama, and Dullahammer) will appear, and the magi-crystals players will obtain from enemies, also known as "Shards," will also be included."

Nintendo is doing a digital event, actually. June 14th, 9AM PST / 12PM EST.

[soera]

I watched a bit of the Bloodstained demo. Was ... interesting but mostly just background and showing the main character jumping around.

Im hoping for a couple of things at E3. Lots of DQ. Some more Ni no Kuni II info. And a Ys VIII western release announcement.

[kashell]

Ys VIII coming here would be swell.

[rayne315]

Still crossing my fingers for the last guardian. looking for a little bit of demo even just what has already been released. and a hard date on its release.

[telly]

Ace Combat 7 and Pokemon Sun are what I'm most interested in, but I'd be interested to see what else is coming out on the Xbox One and the 3DS

[kamikazekeeg]

Injustice 2 reveal going on in 5 minutes.

http://www.twitch.tv/netherrealm

Yup, basically what you expect, but with the high quality of Mortal Kombat X. Not much to go on, other than they showed abit of this new gear system they are implementing, which not only alters the character moves and abilities, but visually changes them too, so sorta like a more customizable version of what they introduced in MKX.  Honestly not a huge Mortal Kombat fan, I prefer the controls of Street Fighter or Killer Instinct over MK, but it's still a cool looking game.

[kamikazekeeg]

Here is the main schedule for E3.

Sunday
EA - 4PM EST
