We're at the end of E3 2018, and that means the press conferences are wrapping up soon. Many have already taken place, but one of the biggest--Nintendo--is still to come Tuesday morning. That means a lot of gaming news, reveals, and trailers for Nintendo Switch in addition to everything we've already learned. Here's when all of the conferences start and where you can watch livestreams and liveblogs. EA Play was the year's first event on Saturday, bringing news about things like Battlefield V and Respawn's new Star Wars game. Microsoft followed with a jam-packed press conference that featured dozens of games. Bethesda offered details on the highly anticipated Fallout 76 and confirmed numerous other games--including The Elder Scrolls VI and its rumored sci-fi game Starfield. Devolver Digital also held an E3 press conference on Sunday. Square Enix followed these on Monday morning with a shorter-than-expected broadcast; Ubisoft took its turn on Monday afternoon with a reveal of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and a surprise Star Fox crossover. Sony's presentation brought a new Last of Us: Part II trailer and more. And Nintendo wraps things up today with a briefing that is expected to have a lot of news about the new Super Smash Bros. Below we've laid out the exact schedule, complete with start times, for all of this year's press conferences. We'll be streaming all of these press conferences here on GameSpot as well as on Twitter. The show itself runs June 12-14, and like last year, it's open to the public--here's how to get tickets. For an idea of what to expect from the show, check out all the games confirmed for E3, as well as all the companies at the show. We've also rounded up the biggest E3 rumors to give you an idea of what might be announced. E3 2018 Press Conference Schedule Saturday, June 9 Electronic Arts (EA Play) -- 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM BST (4 AM AET on June 10) Watch livestream Follow live blog News roundup Sunday, June 10 Monday, June 11 Tuesday, June 12<doc-sep>E3 2018 is here, and the game announcements have been fast and furious. E3 is the biggest gaming convention of the year, where the top gaming companies from around the world showcase what's coming for popular game consoles like the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. Though big companies like Microsoft and Bethesda made waves over the weekend during the first two days of E3, the announcements on Monday were similarly huge. We finally got to see the big press conferences from Sony PlayStation, Ubisoft, and Square Enix, to get a glimpse at what's coming down the pipe from these top-tier publishers.<doc-sep>Tonight at Sony’s PlayStation E3 press conference, they showed off a handful of games including The Last of Us Part II, some more Spider-Man, and the gorgeous-looking Ghost of Tsushima. They also announced Nioh 2. Good night for samurai games! The show was logistically odd, as attendees were herded through a couple of different locations while the hosts on the stream vamped for time. It was also light on major announcements, but they did show some nice-looking games and took breaks for a couple of lovely musical interludes. First up, they showed a bunch more The Last of Us Part II. The whole thing was introduced by composer Gustavo Santaolalla playing his Last of Us theme on a six-string banjo. It was neat. We got to see teenage/twentysomething Ellie hanging out at a friendly gathering and kissing her girlfrind, before a dramatic cut to her killing the shit out of some dudes in a darkened wood. What followed was a pretty standard video game stealth sequence, albeit one with the absurd, probably unhealthy level of polish we’ve all come to expect from Naughty Dog games. (Also, side note, Ellie went prone while sneaking, indicating this will be a crouch/run/prone stealth game instead of a crouch/run game. I’m sure you were wondering.) So basically this demo went: sweet dancing scene, nice kiss, extremely gnarly murder fest, end on some nice kissing. This game is going to be a lot. Advertisement Next came Ghost of Tsushima, an open-world samurai game. This demo started with a dude on stage absolutely shredding on the shakuhachi, which was fantastic and not something I was expecting to see at E3. As for the game: The Witcher vibes were strong with this one, which is being developed by Infamous studio Sucker Punch. The demo depicted a character making his way through war-torn feudal Japan, with the sorts of sword fighting and sneaking you would expect. Damn, though. It was really nice-looking. Like, wow. Leaves. Control is a third-person game from Remedy. It looked pretty wild, and given that it’s made by the folks behind Max Payne, Alan Wake and most recently Quantum Break, I will play it. We got a look at the Resident Evil 2 remaster. It looks nice, though I’ll admit I didn’t even play the remaster of the first one. It’s coming out on January 25, 2019. Advertisement We got another look at Kingdom Hearts III’s Pirates of the Caribbean world. I feel like I’ve seen so many minimal-context snippets of this game at various press conferences over the last two days that I have no idea what it even is anymore. Does anyone? Does anyone know what Kingdom Hearts III is? I’m not sure anyone does. Anyway! Here’s CGI Jack Sparrow! Advertisement Death Stranding: It’s still weird! Hideo Kojima’s weird-ass sci fi/horror/I don’t know what game still looks wild, and like the sort of thing that will continue to be weird right up to and probably well after it finally comes out and I finally play it. Makes sense, since this game seems like it’s gonna involve a lot of time-shifting fuckery. Advertisement Nioh 2! Fuck yeah! I’m psyched about this. Super psyched! I need to finish the first game. But I don’t care! I will still play this. Okay, I think I worked through my excitement just then. Thank you for sharing this experience with me. Advertisement Spider-Man looks great and I want to play it, too. That’s the point of these press conferences, right? To make us want to play a certain video game? If so, mission accomplished re: Spider-Man. Sony’s big stage show ended with Insomniac’s Spider-Man, which is coming out in September. The sequence they showed had a prison break featuring a whole bunch of Spidey’s most famous enemies, as well as some outrageously expensive-looking setpieces and action sequences. Advertisement Last but not least, FromSoftware is making... a PSVR game! Filed under “things I was not expecting From to announce at Sony’s E3 press conference” is Déraciné, a PSVR game that is apparently a big departure from their other games. Advertisement A Few Other Things: People who pre-order Black Ops 4 will get some free maps for Black Ops III, and if you have a PlayStation Plus subscription you get Black Ops III as a free download today; we saw a short Destiny 2: Forsaken trailer indicating Cayde-6 is gonna get shot, or killed, or “killed” and then you spend the campaign bringing him back from the dead. They also showed a platformer called Trover Saves the Universe from Rick and Morty’s Jostin Roiland for PS4 and PSVR. And that’s that! No big surprises at Sony’s show, but it sure has been a good E3 for samurai stuff. Only one more E3 conference until we can all go walk around outside and not think about video games for a week... wait, no, I mean one more press conference until the expo floor opens and we can go play these games, talk to the people making them, and chase news until we catch it and train it to fetch us our slippers in the morning. Stick around, because E3 is just getting started.<doc-sep>
(Pocket-lint) - The President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, Shawn Layden, said it himself: "Don't expect some big flashy new idea or surprise [at this year's Sony E3 press conference]". There was no hardware announcement at the Monday 11 June showcase either, so we'll probably have to wait until 2019 for a PS5 announcement. So there you have it. This year's conference, in new and more interactive settings for the audience, will focus on Sony's 'big four' games for 2018: The Last of Us 2, Death Stranding, Spider-Man and Ghost of Tsushima. You can watch an on-demand version of the event below (or in the main window above, on desktop). It's also available to watch on Twitch and at live.playstation.com. Here are the highlights and what to expect for 2018 and beyond: There's no doubt about it: TLOU2 is a huge deal. The follow-up to Naughty Dog's epic adventure, protagonist Ellie is all grown up and more badass than ever (as you can see from the trailer above). Swordplay anyone? Everyone seemed super impressed with Ghost's colourful world. Whether the sword-fighting and slow-mo will cut it in the real world, we'll have to wait and see. Best PS5 games 2021: Amazing PlayStation 5 titles to pick up By Max Freeman-Mills · 27 May 2021 Anyone have any idea what's going on yet? No, us neither. Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding looks like one bleak world, where the function of time and place are in question. We still have oh so many other questions, the biggest of all: will it actually be a good game? Spidey is here! One of Sony's big hopes for the PS4 in 2018 is the Marvel hero's escapades, shown off in full-on gameplay style at this year's show. Remedy and 505 Games might have E3's surprise gem on its hands with Control. The mix of zero gravity mechanics and insane visuals gives it a sense of Inception in video-game form. Check out the trailer to see what we mean. Capcom pulled a biggie out at the Sony conference too: Resident Evil is back in remake form, bringine RE2 kicking and screaming into 2019. Meaning "uprooted from their natural environment", From Software's PlayStation VR game looks like a total departure for the Japanese studio. There's little detail about the story right now, but the atmospheric English setting looks like a welcome escape from the otherwise guns, swords and knives of the showcase.
