Great news if you're an expectant PlayStation fan: Sony's given a time and date to its E3 2016 press conference. Not so great news if you're the editor of a UK based PlayStation website. Why? Because the bloody thing starts at 02:00AM here. Honestly, the things that we do...
Anyway, you can look forward to seeing what the Japanese giant's got lined up for the future on Monday, the 13th June - that's technically the 14th here in Europe. North Americans will want to take note of the following times: 18:00PM PST/21:00PM EST.
If it's anything like previous pressers, you can expect it to last around two hours or so. Will we see the all but confirmed PS4K? Will Crash Bandicoot put in an appearance? Start making your outrageous predictions in the comments section below.

What? Isn't this year E3 a week late? xD
Anyway, I'll be up all night that monday/tuesday cause I'm hyped for some TLoU 2 (maybe please?)
I never stay up for this, but I did wake up and briefly check my phone last year to see the FF7 bomb drop, had to get out of bed to go watch the trailer didn't i haha.
I'm sure it'll be a good show but they'll never top last years for pure hype.
Hype RISING
I've learned never to predict anything E3-related other than I won't be working the next day and will be frantically checking my financial status to cover gaming costs for the rest of the year. However, a little wishlist:
1. Have you seen my backlog? Please stop releasing great games for a bit.
2. See 1.
I also have a prediction, I predict I'll get really really fed up seeing the word "presser". Seriously I hate that word.
All the dam e3 conferences will be during school so i will only be able to catch a little bit of each
2AM!
Gravity Rush 2!!!! But screw waiting till 2am for it to start, not get to bed until about 4am, then being unable to sleep because all the amazing stuff shown (hopefully). I'll just watch it first thing in the morning.
I never watch live so I appreciate your hard work, PS staff!
E3 follows directly on from EA's own 2day event. No doubt Sony will follow on after MS's, Bethesda and Ubisofts conferences. I know that Sony, so far as I am aware at the moment, doesn't have too many games that I am interested in. (its the same with each though - I know I am not going to like 'everything') so it could go one of 2 ways for me - pleasantly surprised or fall a bit flat.
If they don't announce many new games that appeal to me, no new hardware (PS4K), then I am really only looking forward to seeing more on Horizon - maybe Hellblade and Wild too and what CoD:IW and Destiny will be bringing. I don't have any interest in PSVR at the moment and the 'Japanese' games, Dreams and indies don't appeal much either.
If the other conferences come up with some new games (IP's and favourite franchises) that appeal to me and MS announces a new, much more powerful console, Sony's 'could' fall a bit flat if its as above.
Of course its the accumulative effect of what comes before it. If the others are exciting to me, then Sony will have to be extra special to be more exciting. If the others fall a bit flat, Sony's could be average and seem more exciting (if that makes sense).
Now that I have said that, I hope they do announce the PS4k after all this speculation and we get to see a couple of new IP's and the return of a few old favourites (Crash? we know Sony has a good relationship with Activision), Resistance (or new alternative)? It would be cool to see the PS4k power in these games. I think its too soon after U4 to get news on ND's next project but if PS4k is announced, I wonder if we will get some announcement about a boost in U4 (1080/60 across both aspects and upscaled to 4k)?
I will try to stay awake until it starts and ends but 2am is pushing it! Caffiene and Sugar night!!
@BAMozzy the 'Japanese' games? lol
I work nights Monday to Wednesday so like last year I will be taking a 2 hour break 🖒
I'd say that we will see a reveal of Read Dead Redemption: Legends of the West by Rockstar and Take 2. Take 2 has already said in an interview that they will be revealing "2" Only one game is getting a sequel by them.
I always tell myself that staying up until about 4 in the morning just to watch the Sony conference is ludicrous, and that I'd be better to wait until a sensible hour the next day.
Never happens. I can't resist watching it live!
@kyleforrester87 I don't like it either, only time I find myself using it is when I've already exhausted the alternatives: press conference and show. Then I have no choice...
@Quintumply You're going to help us with the news this year, right?
Is square-enix holding a conference this year? That was my favorite part of E3 last year
@ShogunRok Just knowing you're using it with some reluctance helps. Thanks Robert.
@get2sammyb will it be live stream also 9:00 PM too I better get some sleep before then.
PlayStation power!!!!!!!
Expect to see a little more on already announced games (horizon, the last guardian, dreams. Persona 5, maybe ni no kuni 2 although thats at a push). Too early for tlou2 or a big announcement from ND i think - they usually come in december, but i wouldnt be surprised to see more details on uncharted 4 sp dlc. Likely to see shenmue get another showing and possibly crash if its a thing. Probably far too long on vr, and no time on vita (booo:( ) with emphasis on no mans sky again. Perhaps final fantasy 7 remake - maybe a date? Or kingdom hearts. Possibly resident evil 7.
Not convinced rockstar will show anything as they always tend to do their own thing and ignore e3 so would be surprised to see rdr2 there.
@andrew20 Yep, we'll have a livestream for sure.
@kyleforrester87 We can get through this.
@ShogunRok well 9 is last I am going over my bed time at least I get a lot of great tomorrow due to Nintendo not being there.
@kyleforrester87 yeah lol - Last Guardian, FFxv, Shenmue 3, Gravity Rush, Persona, Star Ocean etc these games...
Show me enough of The Last Guardian and Horizon Zero Dawn to renew my hype. Then show me one great new IP to get excited about. I don't care about VR. The less time spent on that the better.
@ShogunRok "shindig" "romp" "gamebinge" "rattlesaber-businesswave", and my personal favourite: "pixel-orgy".
I'm a man of several words.
Nice. I hope we get a PS4K FFXV bundle, a release date for Last Guardian and FFVII Episode One, PS4 versions of Ni No Kuni, Kingdom Hearts and FFXIII trilogy... and FFXII HD.
... yeah I've been thinking a lot about this.
@get2sammyb Would love to!
I wonder if Jason Derulo will be making an appearance after his shocking performance last year lol
Ah, the thing is I'll be flying out later that morning to Berlin. So, I can get ludicrously tired and watch it, or I can check updates later on in the day.
Considering that I skipped last year when THAT press conference happened, I'm prepared to be grouchy for a day and temporarily sabotage my mental health - especially considering that I'm pretty f*cking sure a Crash remake will be announced.
Freaking love E3 best time of the year. Where dreams are made and crushed at the same time.
Marking my calendar now. Living on the East coast my best friend & I watch the conference love together at 9 pm every year.
@get2sammyb Isn't this the 3rd year in a row it's that same date and time, you can't be too surprised? Once I find out what week E3 is I know Monday night at 9 (I'm in NY) and MS I believe is Monday at noon and Nintendo is Tuesday at noon. Though Nintendo has changed from event to Direct to Tree house this year. 1 hour of Zelda U, an obsolete game on an obsolete syatem. If anything, you should be feeling pity for your brothers at NL, they get the prime time, but nothing to cover. I weep for TW.
"18:00PM PST/21:00PM EST."
It's either 9pm or 21:00. Can't be both.
