The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) takes place this week from Los Angeles and will feature reveals, coverage, and interviews surrounding all of the latest and upcoming video game titles.

Among some of the top sports gaming headlines we expect to emerge from E3 2015:

The anticipated confirmation (and details) of Joe Montana Football 16. After months of speculation and rumors, E3 should finally shine a light on this much-discussed, but little-known title. Is it a console, mobile, or VR title? Does it even have a publisher?
The return of NBA Live. Seemingly hid in the marketing shadows the last two years, it is expected that NBA Live 16 will be shown on-stage in a serious fashion during EA's press conference Monday afternoon with gameplay information disclosed. (Competitor NBA 2K16 is not expected to be at the show (https://twitter.com/Ronnie2K/status/609065101568516097).)
Feature news on NHL 16 & Madden 16. Both have fall release dates so complete feature sets may not be revealed this week, but fans will still likely be clamoring to learn if NHL offers a more complete feature set at launch and what the improved WR/DB & passing interactions mean for Madden.
The return of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. A once-proud franchise looks to return from the ash bed of history. Early screenshots were not impressive, but perhaps gameplay and feature set information can change the attitude surrounding this title.


Other major titles with significant coverage at E3 include: Uncharted 4, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Star Wars Battlefront, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5: Guardians, LEGO Dimensions, Assassin's Creed Sydicate, as well as surprise reveals expected to occur.

The Gaming Tailgate has all the links you need to keep up with E3 2015. Continue on to see a schedule and links to E3 coverage from around the web that will be updated throughout the event.

*****

We're almost there!

From Gamespot, one of EA's E3 reveals will be the next free EA Access game.

My guess is Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Battlefield: Hardline would be quite the shocker; which for E3 could be what they're going for.

That is all I can really think of.

[cdj]

Supposedly Bethesda accidentally went live on their Twitch stream during rehearsal today and the audio stated that Dishonored II will be announced tomorrow night.

[Rudy]

That's funny. I need good madden info.

[cdj]

In a letter to OS (http://www.operationsports.com/RexDEAFootball/blog/32206-madden-nfl-16-at-e3-message-from-rex-dickson-in-game-creative-director/), Madden In Game Creative Director Rex Dickson says that "the Madden 16 gameplay deep dive blogs will be posted online after the press conference (on Monday)."

[jaymo76]

Dragon Age would seal the deal on me getting EA Access.

[cdj]

Here are the games confirmed to be at EA's E3 booth:

At the E3 Expo (Booth #1601), EA will give show-goers hands-on with the titles below, as well as a few surprises:

FIFA 16 – FIFA 16 innovates across the entire pitch to deliver a balanced, authentic, and exciting football experience that lets you play your way, and compete at a higher level. And with all new ways to play!

EA SPORTS™ FIFA – Featuring stunning new console quality gameplay that fully harnesses the power of the latest mobile devices - this is truly the next generation FIFA for mobile.

Minions Paradise™ –Developed in partnership with Illumination Entertainment, when a lovable yet bungling Minion named Phil accidentally sinks the cruise ship carrying his vacationing Minion buddies, he decides to turn a deserted tropical island into the perfect Minions Paradise!

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst – Experience the rise of Faith and join her fight for freedom, with fluid movement and combat in first person that will raise the bar for the action/adventure genre.

NBA LIVE 16 – This year is all about you, with features that empower self-expression on and off the court.

NHL® 16 – Built with more input from our fans than ever before, NHL 16 steps onto the ice to deliver new features across the most played single player and team modes, including a reimagined EA SPORTS Hockey League.

EA SPORTS Rory Mcllroy PGA TOUR® – With stunning authentic and fantasy experiences, EA SPORTS Rory Mcllroy PGA TOUR truly delivers Golf Without Limits. Play what you want, how you want, where you want.

Star Wars™ Battlefront™ – From epic 40 player multiplayer battles to Missions packed with intensity and depth, Star Wars Battlefront will immerse you in your Star Wars™ battle fantasies.

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ – The largest story-driven expansion to date, Knights of the Fallen Empire, marks a renewed focus on cinematic storytelling in Star Wars: The Old Republic. The expansion will deliver on the hallmarks of what makes a great BioWare™ game: new worlds to explore, new companions to recruit, and a dynamic story that players will be able to shape based on the choices they make.

Some speculation that one of their 'surprises' (either on-stage or in-booth) might be Visceral's Star Wars game.

I saw a tweet several weeks ago stating there was a rumor EA Access expanding to PS4 would be announced at E3, but I have not seen or heard anything since that would lead me to believe that as happening or even a strong rumor.

[Rudy]

I would definitely get EA Access for one month to play Madden. Hopefully it comes to ps4.

No Letter to TGT? [CENSORED] them!

[JeffHCross]

As a PS3 owner, is there really any reason for me to give a damn about E3?

[steelerfan]

As a PS3 owner, is there really any reason for me to give a damn about E3?
Without NCAA Football, is there any reason for anyone to give a damn?

[cdj]

As a PS3 owner, is there really any reason for me to give a damn about E3?

Not really. There are some games coming out for the previous consoles, but I'm not sure if they are legacy games or how lacking they are in features.


Without NCAA Football, is there any reason for anyone to give a damn?

Waiting until day two or three to see which outlets would give NCAA (and devs like Ben) some facetime was always part of the E3 'fun.' :( Hopefully those days are back sooner than later.



The Bethesda event is at 8:30 PM CT tonight and we will be hosting (simulcasting it) on our TGT Twitch channel, located here: http://www.twitch.tv/gamingtailgate

To chime in on this, E3 really has lost its lusture and in a lot of ways purpose (for sports gaming). Nothing BIG is ever announced and the vast majority of the games features are already known. A number of companies no longer participate and half the games are not playable on the floor and/or fully featured demos and most you cannot record gameplay.

[CLW]

E3 where CLW is right and IOU is wrong. :nod:

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I normally watch all of the Monday pressers on my laptop, getting all the big stuff for Xbox, Playstation, plus games from Ubisoft and EA. This year, I'm not really finding much to get interested about. There's just not much on the horizon that I really care about.

The only games I really care about right now are Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, Halo 5: Guardians, Rainbow Six: Siege and Star Wars Battlefront.

Depending on what the details and videos released show in the coming months, maybe Assassin's Creed Syndicate and COD: Black Ops III and maybe Just Cause 3.

I may end up skipping EA's presser as really the only game I'd really truly be watching it for would be any videos on Star Wars Battlefront.

I might watch Microsoft's just to see what the future plans on Xbox One are, if they go into any detail on future features or additions to Xbox One, and for any new videos or details on Halo 5: Guardians. Same with Sony's presser, just to see what future additions or features are possibly mentioned.

Ubisoft, I may watch since they'd have details and video on both AC Syndicate and Rainbow Six: Siege, so there's at least two games worth watching it for.

If anything, I'll just watch the Microsoft and Sony pressers and wait for the individual game videos to come out from EA's and Ubisoft's press conferences to get the details on Star Wars Battlefront, Rainbow Six and AC Syndicate.

[CLW]

Doom FPS :sick:

[CLW]

Doom trailer looked good but it was either CGI or running on some mega PC and I somehow survived without :sick:

[CLW]

The create feature on Doom looks pretty DEEP/GOOD

[cdj]

Bethesa begins by showing Doom; a level on Mars. The game also features multiplayer and Doom Snapmap, the ability for users to create and share challenges and customized maps. The Doom segment ends with another look at single-player, this time by playing on a map from Hell. Doom arrives Spring 2016 on PS4, XB1, and PC.

[CLW]

Battlecry looked decent as well

[cdj]

Bethesda.net is the heart of Bethesda games, news, and online features.

Next up BattleCry studios with .... BattleCry.

Worldwide sign-up now available for beta at battlecrythegame.com. Before 6.18 is priority sign-up and an in-game perk. Game launches 2015.

[CLW]

Dishonored 2

[CLW]

Bethesda be likin' that FPS shame I cannot play these games :sick:

[cdj]

Arkane Studios next up with a trailer for Dishonored 2. The game will be available on PS4, XB1, PC but no release date given.

Dishonored Definitive Edition announced coming to the same consoles this fall.

[cdj]

The Elder Scrolls Online next up. A video shows upcoming content coming to the game.

[cdj]

[jaymo76]

Anyone want to make a non-FPS game? ... Please???

[CLW]

Anyone want to make a non-FPS game? ... Please???

Fallout 4 looks to have the option of 3rd person or FPS so yeah that's the only game they make I might be interested in.

[CLW]

Collector's Edition sounds pretty sweet

[CLW]

Tablet game looks pretty good too

[CLW]

Mobile game available tonight

[CLW]

wow Fallout 4 is DEEP

[cdj]

Final presentation: Fallout 4 by Game Director Todd Howard (a big NCAA Football fan, FWIW).

[JBHuskers]

Bethesda with a great kick-off to E3!

[CLW]

I'll probably miss most of the MS conference (wife and I have another round of doctors appointments for the baby) and I might even miss some of EA's as well so I DEMAND regular updates here on the forums.

[JBHuskers]

I'll try my best while I'm at work LOL we've been pretty busy today.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, unfortunately I may miss most of MS' conference. I have to run up to a frame and body shop real quick and hammer out some details with them on what the insurance approved for car repairs. Some jackass hit my parked car last week and drove off. Scheduled to get the car fixed next Monday, but the insurance is being surprisingly cooperative and willing to pay a little extra on repairs, so I'm about to head out and will miss at least 30-60 of the conference.

[cdj]

Microsoft presser underway. Begins with montage of games featuring music from Man of Steel in background.

[cdj]

I plan on covering MS & EA events. I will not be around for Ubisoft or Sony.

Starts by talking EA Access and early access to games such as M16 & Need for Speed.

Coming to The Vault this week: Titanfall. Later this summer: Dragon Age Inquisition.

Given the number of 'Exclusively on XB1' mentions, I think it's safe to say Access isn't coming to PS4 any time soon.

This week, EA Access Vault is open to all Gold Members.

[SmoothPancakes]

Holy shat what a conference based on these posts. I gotta find a video cap of the conference on Youtube or Twitch or something and watch it all for myself later on. I want to see some of the things talked about.

[souljahbill]

Cup head looks awesome!

If I had a One, I'd hit that Rare Collection.

I already thought it was a good deal but I'd be all over EA Access if I had a One or if it ever came to PS4 once I upgrade. I'd have no problem playing games a year after release for $30 a year.

[JBHuskers]

I'm definitely getting Cuphead and the Rare Collection.

[cdj]

The Kinda Funny guys are much more enjoyable than a network shilling and being nicey nice about everything. These guys are telling it like it is.

[CLW]

Yep I've always appreciated Colin and Greg even when they were with IGN.

[CLW]

Sounds like a solid conference from MS - nothing earth shattering. I am STUNNED TR didn't get pushed back in fact I think they said it releases the SAME DAY as FO4

[souljahbill]

610515707491540992

Jet Force Gemini was a pretty cool 3rd person shooter.

[cdj]

Seeing tweets that the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller will retail for $150.

[JBHuskers]

EA conference is coming up soon!

[CLW]

Seeing tweets that the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller will retail for $150.

Jesus Christ what does that controller do? Aren't the "regular" controllers $50?

[JBHuskers]

[CLW]

EA is up...... NCAA Football Returns! :nod:

[cdj]

Draws upon aspects of previous titles. World 2X that of NFS Rivals.

Increased customization. Five overlapping stories.

[CLW]

EA comin' hard with the CGI

[CLW]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=334X8anNgho

[CLW]

Requirement #1 of E3 - unless you are YOSP - you should speak English that people can understand if you are going to talk on stage.

[souljahbill]

Back to my favorite Need for Speeds. The Underground games.

[CLW]

Need for Speed joins the list of games that will not sell due to being crushed by FO4.

[CLW]

EA needs to stop with the CGI garbage no way in hell the game looks like that on PS4/XB1

[cdj]

Now: Star Wars The Old Republic.

MMO expansion pack

[JBHuskers]

Need for Speed joins the list of games that will not sell due to being crushed by FO4.

Like Tomb Raider.

[CLW]

Like Tomb Raider.

Yep. Honestly, other than Halo/COD/AC I'd probably just GTFO out Holiday 2015 as fast as possible.

[CLW]

Unravel - looks like a LBP clone

[CLW]

Guy doing this Unravel presentation is SUPER nervous

[JBHuskers]

Yep. Honestly, other than Halo/COD/AC I'd probably just GTFO out Holiday 2015 as fast as possible.

Tomb Raider comes out on the SAME DAY lol

[JBHuskers]

Guy doing this Unravel presentation is SUPER nervous

Probably because he's been working on this game for a long time and finally gets on the big stage.

[cdj]

EVP Patrick Soderlund now on stage.

Talks about importance of gameplay and user feedback.

Going to unveil two new IP.


Unravel: From small studio, just 14 employees. Creative Director very nervous, but also very genuine as he speaks. Can tell getting game published and on-stage at E3 is very important, if not overwhelming.

Main character is 'Yarny" (sp?), character made of red yarn who unravels as he walks. Can swing and grab using yarn. Seems similar to Little Big Planet in gameplay based on video.

unravelgame.com

[souljahbill]

Guy doing this Unravel presentation is SUPER nervous

Yeah. His hands shook like he drank 10 Cokes.

[CLW]

Unravel very colorful game - sort of has the indy feel to it.

More Top Gun music FTW

[cdj]

Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 next up.

[CLW]

We already heard about GW2 on MS' conference EA - drives me nuts to see EA do the same thing twice.

[CLW]

Tomb Raider comes out on the SAME DAY lol

Yeah that's just SUICIDE. But I'm glad then Crystal will come to Sony in 2016 and beg for someone to actually care and buy their game.


Probably because he's been working on this game for a long time and finally gets on the big stage.

Yeah

[CLW]

Honestly, Unravel is the best looking game I have seen from EA in this conference and they spent a TON of time on GW2. :dunno:

[CLW]

Sports time

[CLW]

MORE CGI from EA.

[cdj]

Now talking EA SPORTS.

NHL trailer
Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR
Ultimate Team - Doubling content this year.

[Rudy]

I don't fully understand using E3 presentations on games 1.5 to 2+ years away. I am bitter about Tomb Raider not coming to ps4.

[CLW]

I don't fully understand using E3 presentations on games 1.5 to 2+ years away. I am bitter about Tomb Raider not coming to ps4.

[JBHuskers]

I don't fully understand using E3 presentations on games 1.5 to 2+ years away. I am bitter about Tomb Raider not coming to ps4.


Tomb Raider IS coming to PS4 its only a TIMED EXCLUSIVE on XB1

Yep. MS is trying to dance around it to make it seem like it's an exclusive, but notice they couldn't say that exactly because it's not.

[JBHuskers]

I don't fully understand using E3 presentations on games 1.5 to 2+ years away. I am bitter about Tomb Raider not coming to ps4.


WOW - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from Sports other than a brief video and then showcase your WORST title?

Not gonna be worst after this year ;)

[JBHuskers]

lmao Mobile - EA has just lost focus

Not when it's their cash cow.

[SmoothPancakes]

Damn, I may not end up watching any conferences this year. Missed MS' because of having to deal with the auto body shop working on my car next week and pretty much missed all of EA's due to the internet taking a massive shit right around 4pm, either because of the storm going through right now or because this modem from Time Warner is a giant piece of shit.

I wonder what will cause me to miss Ubisoft's and Sony's conferences.

[CLW]

Not gonna be worst after this year ;)

So... Madden will be the worst title then? :nod:

[CLW]

Now Pele is up there talking - how does this relate to the game (unless there is a Pele career mode)

[CLW]

WOW EA just killing time having Pele up there talking about his career? WTF does this have to do with video games?

CDJ & I will be at the theatre for the Sony one :nod:

[CLW]

Did he just say "balance" as in actual defense in FIFA?

[Rudy]

Glad I'll get the tomb raider game eventually. Really enjoyed the reboot.

[JBHuskers]

FIFA 15 was my least played FIFA in quite a while.

Yep just going to have to wait - my guess is Summer 2016 - I'm thinking MS bought 6 months exclusive rights.

[CLW]

We need to bring back the TGT Cup so I can DOMINATE! :nod:

[cdj]

Now on to Mirror's Edge Catalyst.

Launches February 23, 2016.

[JBHuskers]

Hopefully this Mirror's Edge is more forgiving than the first.

[CLW]

WOW I am going to have to buy FO4. Everything talked about is a [CENSORED] FPS otherwise. :sick:

Hoping Sony comes through big tonight with some new IP.

[CLW]

Madden

[cdj]

ESPN's RObert Flores on-stage with Madden's Sean Graddy.

It's weird. I play Elder Scrolls 3rd person, but Fallout in the 1st person.

[cdj]

EA stream working on YouTube:

[CLW]

I posted the Star Wars Battlefront vid in its thread

[CLW]

Holy shit! Ea said sony/ps4?

[JBHuskers]

Holy shit! Ea said sony/ps4?

In regards to?

[CLW]

WOW the battlefront 3rd person camera looks good i might be able to play 2 games this year.

[CLW]

In regards to?

Battlefront footage was captured from a Sony PS4.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I'd shit my pants if I turned around and there was Darth Vader.

Fallout 4 is day one for me, Battlefront is probably a wait a little while.

Todd Howard from Bethesda is on the YT channel with Geoff right now.

Yeah I forgot Battlefront was online MP only. Got caught up in the hype a bit with that online play (which looked good).

[JBHuskers]

I'll be travelling from Lincoln to Omaha for the Sony show, keep me updated for Ubi! :)

[CLW]

Will do.

I thought about going to the theater here in Houston but with the storm coming I'm staying home.

[CLW]

Ubi is up.... South Park

[CLW]

South Park: The Fractured, but Whole

[cdj]

Some are saying that Lizard Squad took down Twitch. Kinda Funny is on YouTube now and YT has their own E3 stream as well.

I'm out for the evening, so hopefully someone else can cover Ubisoft and Sony pressers.

[CLW]

New IP - mid evil sword fighting - For Honor - looked good

[CLW]

http://static9.cdn.ubi.com/resource/en-US/game/forhonor/game/HRO_0006_Web_Banner_Carousel-960_205567.jpg

[CLW]

For Honor - apparently you can choose between Samurai, Vikings or Knights to fight as

[CLW]

The Division - beta signups early next year - this game releases 3.8.16

[souljahbill]

Smooth, you're gonna need multiple changes of underwear with all the Tom Clancy games Ubisoft showed.

[Rudy]

Any info on Destiny?

[CLW]

Sony is UP

[CLW]

1st GAME - THE LAST GUARDIAN

[Rudy]

Amazon in Canada is giving 30% off if you buy 3 or more games shown at e3. Madden, SW battlefront and looking for a third. I already have UC4 pre-ordered but could cancel that deal and group it here.

The Last Guardian (or something I think is coming later)

[CLW]

SHU on the stage!

[CLW]

Guerrilla UP

[CLW]

Whatever this is it looks fucking amazing

[CLW]

Some sort of robot dinasaur tomb raider post apocalyptic game

[CLW]

Horizon Zero Dawn = BEST GAME EVER!

[CLW]

Looks like a new Hitman game

EDIT: Yep looks like a "reboot" since its just called Hitman

[CLW]

Street Fighter 5

[Rudy]

I will take another look but last guardian never interested me.

[CLW]

No Man's Sky FTW

[CLW]

I will take another look but last guardian never interested me.

Horizon Zero Dawn - looks like Tomb Raider with dinosaur robots post apocalypse

[CLW]

No Man's Sky - making Fallout 4 look like The Order 1886

[CLW]

Media Molecule with some Move Based game.

[CLW]

Some Wyoming Game

[CLW]

Destiny DLC

[CLW]

AC

Wait...... Batman is a FPS now?

[CLW]

Sony Vue - pay only for the channels you want

[CLW]

COD Black Ops III

[CLW]

Interesting that COD is "with" Sony now as they have been with MS forever. Did Sony for over $ or does Activision just see it as where it should be on the #1 console?

[SmoothPancakes]

FF 7 REMAKE
Whoa whoa whoa!!!

Are you saying remake in as the original Final Fantasy VII just getting rehashed for PS4 like it has already been for PC and PS3?

Or are you saying a full fucking blown honest to god from the ground up remake built on current technology?

If it's #1, fuck you Sony you money grubbing bastards.

If it's #2, fuck me, I'm gonna cum my pants right now.

[CLW]

Full blown remake - looked WAY too good to do it any other way.

[CLW]

Sony has 1st rights to all maps and beta for COD. "Playstation is new home to COD"

[SmoothPancakes]

Full blown remake - looked WAY too good to do it any other way.
Fuck yes!!!!! Fans have been requesting and calling for a full blown modern remake of Final Fantasy VII for YEARS. While it's been rumored the original guys and Square were interested in doing it multiple times, nothing ever came of it other than continued rehashes of the original PS1 game.

It's fucking Christmas morning right now hearing this!

[SmoothPancakes]

If you happen across the video of it on YouTube, please, I beg you, post it!

How many Star Wars games are there - I cannot keep count

[CLW]

Back to back Star Wars games - it feels like 4-5 different Star Wars games are in various stages of production right now

[CLW]

closing the door on MS with UC4

[SmoothPancakes]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na12RonwT78
Holy shit! That looks amazing! That is absolutely a full blown honest to god remake! Fuck me, they are actually doing it!

Final Fantasy VII was my first experience into the Final Fantasy universe, so I've considered it as a favorite of mine in the series just because it was the first one I played.

I have been dreaming of a full blown remake since the 360/PS3 days with improving graphics and more console power that could really take the game to a whole new level as a remake.

Now I have to go scour the internet for some hint of an expected release date, probably not until at least 2016 or 2017.

[JBHuskers]

Of things unknown before tonight, I'm most excited for Horizon by Guerilla Games.

No Mans Sky, and now Fallout 4 top my wishlist.

[JBHuskers]

Some sort of robot dinasaur tomb raider post apocalyptic game
Reminds me of a Last Of Us world but machines took over instead of a virus.

[JBHuskers]

I was impressed with Firewatch as well.

[CLW]

Reminds me of a Last Of Us world but machines took over instead of a virus.

Yeah some of that there too (post apocalyptic) - IF its a UC/TR type game with a good story I'm a Day 1 for sure.

It's like we're the 'old people' with technological advances when machines take over, and somehow these primitive people survived. Hope they discover what happened to the old people.

Awww, fuck.

Does this mean I have to buy an Xbox now?

[cdj]

How many Star Wars games are there - I cannot keep count

Battlefront, Disney Infinity stuff, the Visceral game, KOTOR....I'm sure that's only half.

[JBHuskers]

There was a large groan at the theatre when the Infinity stuff was announced. Not the type of crowd to care.
