You've seen my first hour run through my first Souls game, Dark Souls 2, with mild knowledge of what to expect around every corner. Now check out a run by someone who has not even heard of the Souls series.
Here's the full almost hour and a half playthrough video
E3(Electronic Entertainment Expo) is the biggest event for the gaming industry, where all the big game reveals and announcements from big video game companies happen. It's literally just around the corner, so for those that want to catch all the reveals and big announcements from the big gaming companies, here's the full schedule of when each press conference goes live.
*TAKE NOTE OF THE TIME DIFFERENCE: PDT is for those living in the United States, while GMT is for those living in South East Asia like the Philippines.
Microsoft's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb said on his blog that you can stream the press conference, entitled "Xbox: Game On," through Xbox.com, Xbox Live and Windows Phone worldwide. The press conference will also be broadcast on Spike TV in the U.S. and Canada. Halo 5: Guardians has been announced by 343 Industries so it's very likely we'll be seeing a demo of the new Halo running on Xbox One. There are rumors of a Gears of War reveal, as well as more about Sunset Overdrive which is looking pretty promising. Forza Horizon 2 was also announced plus there's Fable Legends so we'll see them on the presentation. Oh and of course, we'll see more of Kevin Spacey for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Also, with Microsoft announcing the Xbox One without Kinect, making the new console at the same price as its competitor, we will definitely see a strong presence of Kinect in the press conference.
Just like past EA conferences, we will see tons of EA Sports talk for NFL, NBA, the works. All that aside, we'll most likely see the latest on Dragon Age: Inquisition, Sims 4, Battlefield: Hardline, and we just might get a gameplay demo of Star Wars: Battlefront III. There are talks of them teasing a new Mass Effect game, but that's very unlikely in our eyes.
Ubisoft will be an interesting press conference. We'll definitely see a demo for this year's Assassin's Creed called Unity, as well as another announcement of the second Assassin's Creed planned for this year as well. Tom Clancy's The Division will have new gameplay to wow the crowd, and we'll get our first look at Far Cry 4 planned for this year. Just Dance will make an appearance yet again, and we'll see a demo for The Crew. We also expect a new IP coming from the European company since we've seen a new title from them two E3's in a row (Watch Dogs - 2012, The Division - 2013). Ubisoft has a lot going for them, it's crazy.
Sony might have a great lineup for their presentation - Deep Down, the new Uncharted, The Order: 1886, and a possible reveal of From Software's PS4 exclsuive currently titled "Project Beast". Final Fantasy XV will make an appearance together with Kingdom Hearts 3. The indie scene might just get the spotlight yet again to strengthen the consoles indie game support. What's going to be their big reveal? There's a big chance of a new God of War game moving the franchise forward. Destiny will definitely appear on Sony's presentation, and we might get more titles for PS Vita since it's been lagging behind on the number of new games per month. Oh, and we shouldn't forget the slight possibility of The Last Guardian showing up at the presentation...very unlikely.
Just like last year, Nintendo won't be holding the traditional press conference at E3. Instead, they will be broadcasting their presentation through a video similar to their monthly video called Nintendo Direct. It's called the "Nintendo Digital Event" and we will be seeing our first look at the new Zelda game exclusive to the Wii U. The Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS will definitely make an appearance, we'll get more footage for Bayonetta 2, and Monolith's RPG currently called X might get a full reveal. New 3DS games will take a small portion of the spotlight, but we expect all the effort will be put on making the Wii U appealing. There's rumor of a new Metroid that will be announced for the Wii U, which we pray is true because Nintendo needs announcements like that to be the big talk in E3. The horrible Wii U sales is a big concern and we hope they can bounce back with their presentation.
Since we are now in the age of Social Media and Live Streaming, watching the events that will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Center will be easy for even folks on the other side of the globe. Here are a couple of sites that will be live streaming E3 happening next week:

The crew will be watching the event live, so just in case you are unable to watch the event live or just want the big scoop - stay tuned on our Twitter and Facebook page, we'll be posting the big announcements as it gets revealed. A full compilation of each press conference will be posted on the site.
We'll also be discussing everything that happened during E3 2014 on the TMG Podcast after the event. The post E3 show, Episode 36, will be up on June 17 on a Tuesday.
We'll update the list of channels covering the event as more come up. If you think we are missing some, please comment below and we'll add it to the list.
As most of you know, one of the most anticipated games of the year, Watch_Dogs, just came out earlier this week and most of us here on TMG pre-ordered the game and already have it. Which means We've got a bunch of Watch_Dogs content in store for you this week.
Migoy captured and streamed his first hour of the game for a quick look as well as some clips from said stream. Arlie's been streaming a lot of his playthrough of the PS4 version of the game on our twitch channel and has made some clips of his own. We are also going to talk about our impressions of Watch_Dogs this weekend for episode 34 of the TMG Podcast. Watch_Dogs is currently available for all platforms (except for the WiiU at the moment) at Datablitz, so if you haven't already, go check it out.
Here's our Watch_Dogs quick look
Here are some clips taken from our Watch_Dogs livestreams
This was actually recorded back in March of this year along with Will's solo run of Tokyo Jungle but I only got around to the editing a few days ago. Will and Carlos try out the multiplayer feature of Tokyo Jungle as they try to survive with the power of friendship.
This is probably a game that none of you guys have even heard about. Here's the story. Will looks at the monthly release list for the podcast and came across a game that he had no knowledge about and didn't know even existed up until he saw it on the list. He then goes to the nearest Datablitz branch and asks about this game called "Magus" and surprisingly enough, they had it in stock. Will asks the clerk if he was the first person to ask about and buy the game which the clerk replied "Yes". So here's our let's play of Magus! A game published by Aksys Games.
Highlights from our first hour of Magus.
Here's the full first hour of the game.
