Guide Everything You Need to Know About Gamescom 2016
Press conference times! Games! Live streams!
Gamescom used to be the second biggest week on the PlayStation calendar, but it's been quiet over the past couple of years. The reason? Sony's been showing up, but it hasn't exactly been going all out. The press conferences that it used to hold in Germany, for example, appear to be a thing of the past;...
E3 2016 Sony's Press Conference Goal Was to Surprise and Delight
Mission accomplished?
The format of Sony's E3 2016 press conference this week was unlike anything we've ever seen. Not only did the platform holder hire an orchestra and stage the show in a theatre, but it was also structured differently: speakers were kept to an absolute minimum, trailers were rarely prefaced, and oftentimes the audience was left...
E3 2016 Who 'Won' E3 2016? Social Media Can't Decide
Perhaps because the whole idea's dumb?
The idea of there being "winners" at E3 always makes us giggle – like these corporate conferences are full on sporting competitions. Nevertheless, there's always a slew of data analysis that comes out after the show attempting to determine which company came out on top – it's just a shame that all of the...

The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center are just creaking open, which means that E3 2016 is about to get into full-swing – but before we turn our attention to all of the news coming from the show floor, we figured that it would be fun to look back at the past couple of days of pressers, and rate them.

Reaction Sony Saves E3 2016 with Super Strong PS4 Exclusives
All killer, no filler
Once upon a time, we used to moan about Sony's inability to pace E3 pressers. We think that the platform holder got the message, because its classy theatre-based conference this evening barely stopped to breathe. The platform holder showed several extraordinary looking releases in a short but sweet show that dazzled from start...

And with Days Gone, the E3 2016 press conferences have concluded. For many of you reading this website, Sony's show will have been your most anticipated – but did it deliver?

Round Up What Did Ubisoft Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference?
Steep! Watch Dogs 2! South Park! For Honor!
E3 2016 is off to something of a dismal start, and Ubisoft's press conference didn't really improve things all that much. That said, the French publisher did have a lot of cool content to show – it just presented it in the most turgid manner imaginable. You'll find all of the headlines below. E3 2016:...

Ubisoft's unquestionably one of gaming's juggernauts, but did its press conference at E3 2016 impress?

Round Up What Did Bethesda Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference?
Not a lot
Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference was notably lacking in, well… Anything of note, really. The publisher – which put on a stellar show last year – ambled out of the gate with a lacklustre selection of titles, and while the likes of Dishonored 2 and Skyrim Special Edition do legitimately look great… They're not exactly getting our...

All of the Fallout
This year marked only the second ever Bethesda press conference, but already the organisation feels like part of the E3 furniture.

But what did...

It's only Bethesda's second ever E3 press conference, but after last year's slick showing, it's got a lot to live up to at E3 2016. We're expecting the likes of Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2 to feature heavily, but don't rule out appearances from rumoured releases like Wolfenstein 2, Prey 2, and The Evil Within 2. The action...

Electronic arts or wet farts?
And with that, the first E3 2016 press conference is under our belts. Never one to follow trends, EA did things a little differently this year, opting to hold its own event aligned with E3 – but technically not part of the convention. Its briefing was a bit predictable, though, focusing on the likes of Mass Effect...

Talking Point Can Sony Top Its E3 2015 Press Conference?
Year of Dreams 2.0
It was the press conference of dreams. Those with cold hard rocks for hearts naturally disagreed, but a single show revolving around The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII, and Shenmue III was fan fiction right up until the moment that Sony rolled them out for real, one Earth shaking announcement after another. Granted, one game...
