[SparringMinds85]

New Assassin's Creed for the Vita:

Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation





from NeoGaf:

• Its out same day as AC3 (Oct 30th)
• Location is New Orleans
• Female assassin named Aveline (creole heritage)
• Looks like same time period as AC3
• Ubisoft Sofia is developing
• takes place during 1765-1780 in the period between the end of the french and indian war
• one of the bullet points is that it's "true AC gameplay"
• will not connect to desmond
• will have "multiplayer specifically tailored to the vita experience"
• "the game has been released as a propaganda tool by Abstergo,who want players to experience a gray area of the Assassin/Templar conflict as an assassin rather than a templar"
• Aveline's mentor is an escaped slave named Agate,leader of the assassins in New Orleans
  
• Wildlife like alligators "wait on the banks of the swamp or hide beneath murky waters"
• Liberation will also take players across the Gulf into Mexico"
• Game will take place in "Large gameplay areas,you can run,climb,fight,and explore the entirety of New Orleans without loading a new area."

I'm hoping Rockstar finally shows off "Agent" and Bethesda announces Fallout 4

As for the other games, I can't wait to see: Metro Last Light, Bioshock Infinite, Arma 3, Dead Space 3, Hitman, Last of Us, AC3 and Rainbow Six: Patriots.

I'm on the fence with Halo 4, RE6, MGRR, MoH: Warfighter. I need to see some gameplay first.

[invaded]

looking forward to HALO 4 and GTA5 but that wont make a cameo.
hopefully they show a video or something regarding the next xbox

[newtmiscer]

lol you don't like paying $60 for new guns?

Then again I can't really talk since I buy Madden and NCAA new every year, when I'm really just getting a roster update. I remember a couple games ago NCAA was promoting their awesome new features... field goal nets and wind socks... wind socks... fml. Madden has actually been decent about new features, NCAA not so much. BRB waiting for physics based tackling engine.

Hi zitnik!

I been anticipating E3 the last week or so. I'm looking forward to The Last of Us, Last Guardian (please), Halo 4, Tomb Raider, Dead Space 3, RE6 and even Wii-U's launch line-up (Pikmin 3!!!!!!!!). And hopefully major surprises by Sony and Microsoft.

I love and have played through every GOW except "Betrayal", but am actually on the fence as far as Ascension. Another prequel? Multiplayer?

[Zitnik]

Updated the OP with Live Streaming links for when the conferences start.

[jaminb]

only thing i care about is if they release any info on fallout 4 this year.

[bongowongo]

Typical line up of games. Sequels galore.



Hopefully we get to see some new IP's being announced.


Interested to see what The Last of Us has to offer ... We havnt had a single gameplay vid.

If it looks awesome (which I'm sure it will be) and Rockstar finally announces "Agent" and it is still PS3 exclusive (rumors are R* is going to announce it at Sony's press conference) I will go out and buy a PS3.

[Just Live]

Can we expect any news on GTA 5?

[shanedawg]

no rainbow six patriots :/

[creaser]

looking forward to farcry 3, no news about Heart of the Swarm from blizzard?

[Dup15]

Can we expect any news on GTA 5?

No. Rockstar doesn't hasn't made an appearance with GTA at E3 in years. Looking forward to Dishonored, AC3 and RE6 the most.

OP they will probably announce a new Splinter Cell, Ubisoft stated that they'll be announcing a new game, but since Rainbow 6 and Assassin's Creed are already officially announced, that only leaves Splinter Cell.




Still hoping for hints of Half-Life 3 though.

Probably won't happen until the new consoles arrive. That way the game can last as long as half life 2 did.

[JM18]

I hope they announce Alan Wake 2.

[Bootuh]

inb4 the big shocker of E3 is the end of the Microsoft press conference when Rockstar gets on stage and reveals GTA.

[Mac_xX]

no rainbow six patriots :/

It'll be there.

They'd be dumb not to show something off, been very quiet about it since that one simulated gameplay video.

[mikeditka]

No GTA5 no care...srs

[Deathstroke]

Another Mario game and I'll die a happy man!

I usually use GameTrailers or GameSpot. IGN's streams suck most of the time.
