Sony

Online is still free, the only thing you have to pay for is PS + , which is optional.
Rather than charging for online I think it would be better if they added more features to PS+.

Kaz & Yoshida on stage, Kaz gets a game ready, Yoshida ridicules him by asking if its RiIiIiiIiIiIiIIiIiIIiiIiIiiIiIiIdge RaAAAaAaAaAAaaAaAaAcer
Kaz to announce all ps1 & 2 games will now have trophy support (there is a patent out there somewhere)

[DML]

What I don't understand is what Microsoft can do that would actually be much of a Megaton. New Halo isn't a megaton, its expected. New Gears isn't a megaton, again its expected....

This idea they are going to have a 'fair few megatons' - I can't even realistically think of more then one. Perfect Dark or Banjo perhaps...thats about it...

[Skippy]

Mirror's Edge 2 as an exclusive would have been if they'd managed to keep it under wraps

[Captain Kinopio]

Nintendo
Heavy focus on WiiU with Wonderful101 and Bayonetta being shown at a good stage early on.
Talk about downloadable updates to improve performance (mainly speed) also some more tweaks to Miiverse with improved functionality
New App for the WiiU, something like a photo displaying tool that links into Miiverse or a pubgames compilation that is played solely on the Gamepad; Chess/Solitaire gooseberry fool like that
Details of upcoming games that begin to take WiiU online multiplayer with interesting features
New Pikmin3 trailer with little more detail on Gamepad/Remote gameplay
Smash Bros 'Battlefield' first trailer, looks amazing with details on WiiU / 3DS connectivity and extensive online multiplayer modes
Link to the Past 2 trailer
Wind Waker HD trailer - Graphics split oppinion - Added features, possibly Tetras Trackers included or a new dungeon
Retro new game announced with a teaser trailer - coming 2014
Super Mario 'Mushroom Kingdom' revealed - Looks phenomenal - Mashup between SM64 and Galaxy, internet meltsdown


If they nail 4/5 of those, should be very exciting

[Pedz]

Hope the next Smash Bros is more Melee than Brawl.

The only megaton would be some third party exclusive. GTA5 for the xbone and not ps4 etc.

[Alvin Flummux]

I'd love to get a confirmation of GTA V being on the Wii U. Please, Rockstar? Pretty please?

[1cmanny1]

I'd love to get a confirmation of GTA V being on the Wii U. Please, Rockstar? Pretty please?

Why would you even really want that though?

[Alvin Flummux]

Because the Gamepad would make it the best version. I'd take it on the U over the PS3 and 360 any day.

Also, a screenshot was taken of the YouTube description of the apparently leaked E3 Nintendo Direct video, which was allegedly very quickly removed...

[Fade]

How would it make it the best version?

A single touch touch screen? Oh boy.

[Captain Kinopio]

Would be pretty good but shouldn't there be a Mario Galaxy follow up in there

[Alvin Flummux]

How would it make it the best version?

A single touch touch screen? Oh boy.

Not needing to pause to look at the map would raise it head and shoulders above the rest immediately.

[Mockmaster]

Finishing the Direct on the Retro game eh?

Hype levels rising.

[Fade]

How would it make it the best version?

A single touch touch screen? Oh boy.

Not needing to pause to look at the map would raise it head and shoulders above the rest immediately.

No you just need to look away from the screen while the game carries on.
Which sounds awesome especially if you're driving really fast.

I'd rather glance down at the gamepad than break up the game by pausing it. Anyway, if I'm being chased around by cops, chances are I'm not looking at the map, chances are I'm just trying to get away.

[Rapidly-Greying]

Agent to be a no show.

The last guardian to be a no show.

No Uncharted 4 but a new ND ip.

Ps4 console to actually be good looking.

Well they have lots of new IP to show for a start and I'd expect them to be bringing back at least one of their older IPs that didn't get an outing at all on 360.

Other than that apparently the rumours are flying that they have paid lots of money for 3rd party exclusives. Expect surprises. Mirror's Edge 2 might be an Xbox One exclusive as an example.
