    E3 2018 and accompanying developer conferences are upon us. Once a three-day event, studios have spaced announcements over a week+ span to get what they believe is a proper share of the limelight and avoid being lost in the shuffle. However, one could argue that due to the sheer volume of announcements, game information could still get overlooked despite attempts to stand out.

    To help keep you up-to-date with all the happenings at and surrounding E3, TGT has put together a guide to all of the press conferences by companies and studios such as Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and others.

    Continue on to see TGT’s guide to E3. Check back often as we update this article with the latest links, information, recaps, discussion, and more. Threads devoted to new games announced will likely be added to our Other Games Forum.

      Yeah with an almost 3 year old I'll probably bite at the end of the gen or switch 2 as a way to introduce videogames.

      A fairly large hole Sony/Ms both have is young child friendly games

      In all honesty, how long can Nintendo keep milking the same franchises and largely the same games every console generation before people get tired of it?

      That’s not a Nintendo thing. That’s an industry thing.

      Yep. We're on the 15th Call of Duty, the 11th Battlefield with 13 if you include the Battlefield: Bad Company series, the 11th Assassin's Creed (if you including the smaller games like AC Chronicles, Freedom Cry, etc, that bumps it up to 16 games), we're on the 8th Fallout, we're currently on the 6th main Ghost Recon game with Wildlands. If they ever announce a new Splinter Cell, that'll be the 8th game of the series. The Elder Scrolls has something like 7 or 8 main games in the series. We're up to 15 Final Fantasies now, not including the multiple spin-offs.

      Gaming today seems to be 30% new games and 70% remakes/remasters/sequels.

      It's an entertainment thing. Hollywood is WORSE.

      The budgets for these games/movies is so large now publishers aren't going to risk money on developing new IP when they can just crank out the 1000th comic book/star wars movie or rehash a previously successful "guy" movie and just replace the cast with women. Etc.....

      Hollywood is the worst. Not just with sequels but freaking reboots. Halloween is now on it's second reboot of the original.

      Something else to chime in with what the others have said. Unlike the yearly sequels, Nintendo Franchise are not tossed out yearly. We may not see another Zelda or Mario this gen or it will be at the very end of the Switch lifespan. It took fans almost a decade to get Nintendo to bring back Metroid. Which was a very successful first party game.

      I did not get to see EA's presentation but Dunky came through with the epic LOL for those who missed it. (starts at 1:25 to 1:45). Welcome to America!
