Assassin's Creed III, Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2, Darksiders II, Metro: Last Light. Not really interested in the console press conferences any longer--just too much B.S. that turns out to be (a) overhyped (looking at you, Molyneux), or (b) false (looking at you, free JoyRide). Exclusives are B.S.; true gamers rate games, not consoles. Microsoft's events have become more and more frustrating with each passing year--that giant sucking sound is the loss of interest by your core gamers, guys. Tone down the Kinect "HIGH-FIVE!!" and app overkill, and focus on your core competency--kick-ass games. Kthx.

As far as exclusive new IPs go, PlayStation seems more appealing at the moment, with The Last of Us. But that will have its own announcement, so I'll pass on the PlayStation press conference as well. I don't need the VP of "Teh Awesome" to sell me on a @#$%^& Move wand, though.
warning

Hoping that one of the secret games turns out to be Guillermo del Toro's Insane. Things seem pretty quiet on that front. If the game doesn't show up this year at E3 with at least some footage, I think that's a bad sign for THQ. I wouldn't mind another new IP being one of the several secret game announcements, though... as long as it's multi-platform and *NOT* reliant upon motion-control gadgets.

Also I'm pretty sure they might talk about Sonic Adventure 2 hopefully. The one with the Chao Heaven and Hell gardens.
I hope your right about sonic adventure 2. I have been waiting way too long to play this again!

Assassin's Creed 3, Tomb Raider, Dead Space 3, Darksiders 2, Hitman: Absolution and Borderlands 2... I can't wait to see a piece of these titles! (Reminds me to get Borderlands GOTY, Revelations and Dead Space 2!!!)

I only care about Halo 4 and Simcity. Everything else is *meh* to me.


Though a Mafia 3 or RUSE 2 would be lovely...

JimmyTheKidd02 said:Hopefully there is a new Batman game that continues from Arkham City; maybe more about a possible Joker & Harley baby...???The Harley's Revenge DLC will answer that question for you.

I'm really pumped to hear about the new Batman: Arkham game too though, it's about damn time we get a reveal, they did after all announce Arkham City like a week after Arkham Asylum came out.
