All the times for the major E3 press conferences right here

  It’s coming up to that time of the year again folks! That’s right, E3 is only a few weeks away and with all the public tickets sold out, it’s promising to be big one. Below are the times for the major players press conferences, with times for your region. Barry Farrell 

Cake’n Games E3 2016 Round-up. Bethesda

Bethesda One year ago we were marvelling over Fallout 4 and what it could be. One year later I’m lamenting the fact that every time I reloaded my favourite gun I died. I’m not joking. I quit that game after giving it a respectable 25 hours totally disillusioned with Bethesda’s shtick. Do not launch a game broken. Do not launch a game that I need a high-end PC to get the most out of. Or do, cause…

Cake’n Games E3 2016 Round-up. Ubisoft

Ubisoft Let me open by saying that Ubisoft are their own entity. They have a style to their games’ that is their own. I adore Child of Light and the recent Rayman reboots but I have to admit that I despise most of what they’ve done in recent years. Their conference did nothing to alleviate that. Aisha Tyler is a wonderful presence at E3 each year but even her passion for what Ubi are doing cannot…

Cake’n Games E3 2016 Round-up. Xbox/Microsoft

Microsoft The strange case of Microsoft continues. Having being soundly beaten by Sony in hardware sales, hardware power and games available this console generation their line has always been that they’re just focusing on keeping their own house in order. There is no console war according to Microsoft. What is fascinating about the idea of a console war is simply put that the console as we know…

Cake’n Games E3 2016 Round-up. Sony

Sony Once again, Sony have stolen E3. They are simply the masters of this show. Sony’s conference was short, sharp, devoid of any filler or pomp and while it’s nice to see developers get their moment on stage to fumble over their lines, Sony skipped that and just hit trailer after trailer mixed with live gameplay and a grand total of 2 people on stage (including one very special guest). The show…

Cake’n Games E3 2016 Round-up. EA

EA EA kicked off our pre-show conferences. EA’s Star Wars Battlefront nearly stole last year’s show but if anyone would be kind enough to indulge the memory of Pele’s agonising speech, also played with people’s ability to refrain from insomnia. This year was an entirely more adroit affair and they brought their A-game with another bevy of Star Wars titles, this time presented beautifully with a…

Eoin Monaghan Reviews this years #E32016. See who won!

  (If you want the bite sized articles on the individual companies, hit the links. EA, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Xbox, Sony) Words by Eoin Monaghan E3, or to coin a new moniker – Leaky 3, has been an odd experience this year. One of my favourites on record, it toyed with our preconceptions of not just what an E3 is but even what a console is. We had hardware, a lack of hardware, games that may or not be…
