• E3 2015 Coverage - June 16-18

    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.)
    • 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.

      Looks like a girl and a robot dog version of Claptrap from Borderlands.

      The dog dies and the core is placed into a big robot which looks to be a companion.

      They dive into a cave full of bad guys.

      Name of the game is Recore, coming out in the Spring.

      Next up: EA COO Peter Moore.

      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.


      Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 announced. Coming Spring 2016. First trailer revealed.

      Dark Souls III looks, well dark. And Epic. And will probably be fucking hard.
