| I dunno... everyone else, when I've said to them that I've played/loved Oblivion and Skyrim, but have Morrowind in my Steam library, just went "Nope! Don't". I always got the impression that its difficulty curve hadn't aged well... |

| Oblivion is good and if it was more like that be fine, I want a proper RPG but due to the success of Skyrim it will continue to try to have more broad audience. |

| I hope the settlement building stuff doesn't come over to Elder Scrolls - I didn't really get into it and it became a pretty essential part of the game if you wanted to get into the factions. Plus, it wouldn't make sense in Elder Scrolls as there's already cities and settlements existing in this world. |

| I'm not sure why you'd consider it major for factions Jay, I enjoyed my time with the factions but never felt the urge to do the settlements up. I did play a fair bit less than you though, so could just be I didn't exhaust it as much. |

| And this is coming from Andy "I'll run past all the interesting locations in the world to complete the main quest". I spent a lot of time with The Minutemen and there were a fair few quests revolving around settlement building. Probably should have picked a different faction, to be honest! |

| For the first time there's an E3 event for non-industry folk! Now we'll really be able to hear what Zelda UNX is all about. |

| Wasn't E3 open to the public in prior years? Or am I making things up? |

| LA is starting to look like E3 - We have Xbox rumors about what could be their new system's to be shown at E3 and beyond:
We will see a Xbox One Slim this year at E3 which will have a 2TB HDD and will be 40% smaller then the current model, this slim will be mainly focused on apps and the media nature of Xbox and will becoming this year, maybe right after E3 if we know Microsoft.
Could that be the long rumored disc-drive-less digital only cheaper option?
Talking of Digital and Media, we could see the Xbox Stick which will be basically Chromecast or Fire TV for people that want to use the Xbox UI to get there media. For those who want to use the Xbox UI on a TV just for media, it's awful UI as it is.
I'm not sure if Microsoft remember they have a games console or not but with that news, there also seems like every PC will now be able to run the Xbox UI and basic come a a Xbox part from the ability to put a ONE disc in to a PC, I gather the PC version of Quantum Break is a code that comes in the box of the Xbox One version and that's how Gears of War 4 will come etc.
From all this it seems Microsoft want to make Xbox more of service and Xbox will be how you play games on PC and get your Media on PC and if the the Slim is disc-less a more digital only age. It's like thy had this idea before, I wonder how that went if this is all true but that's not it.
As we now have a code name for the Xbox One version of PS4 Neo and it is called Scorpio which will Oculus Rift for VR compatible and an upgraded GPU that will support 4K resolution, but long loading times could be on the cards due to Microsoft having no plans to upgrade the console's I/O transfer speed.
Of course, that could all change by the time it comes out in 2017 and it's unlikely to be shown at E3 this year but sometime in the Spring leading up to E3 2017. I reckon by then Rift will have come down in price or Microsoft helps with production, more games out for it and will give devs time to make Xbox Rift games. Halo 6 VR would be rather cool and maybe there is a Xbox VR event in the Spring time before E3 which covers everything.
Only thing is it seems you we need Scorpio to use VR in the Xbox ecosystem then Rift on top where Sony with the PS4 the PSVR works on all PS4's and coming this year but Xbox would have a more powerful VR headset when it comes. Does power matter though?
The other thing is Neo seems to be coming this year where Scorpio at the earliest might not be coming out in till E3 2017, will Sony having a headset start with the premium modal make any difference?
UpdateI maybe should have put these rumors in the new consoles news thread but as there related to E3, I put here but if you do want to move Jay-Zero then that's cool - More info:
The Slim apparently will have 4k video-out put, I don't know if that will included a 4K disc-drive or not as Neo is rumored to only have a standard Blu Ray drive. That a 4K drive could be real win for Xbox but will of course put the price up. 4K won't effect games in anyway and games will run the same as current Xbox One's.
Scorpio is a different ball game, the rumors going around is MS want to to have the most powerful console on the market and take that from Sony as a marketing tool. But they might be going to powerful as it seems to able to work with Rift the Scorpio will be around 4x more powerful then the current Xbox One and twice as powerful as the Neo.
Also to put this is comparison teraflops are apparently really important the ONE has 1.31, PS4 1.84, Neo is rumored to be 4.19 and Scorpio is meant to be over 6.
PS4 to Neo seems big but looking at the overall specs there is a jump but not massive one and both based around the same hardware but the Neo having the best versions of it and from the leaked presser all games will work fine on both systems, just run better on Neo.
Now the jump from ONE to Scorpio is 4 times the amount and is rather huge, so big that it's almost like the Scorpio is a new console not an actual upgrade and is meant to be twice as powerful then the Neo.
Scoprio is likely to use exiting hardware like how PS4 and Neo does hence the rumor of long load times being possibly a thing on Scorpio, but not sure how this will effect games as the difference being such a gap could it split the market like some of you have said about PS4 to Neo even if Sony seems to have addressed this that games have to run on both and a only a slight upgrade compared to this.
Same could be with the ONE and Scorpio but something 4x more powerful has to have effect on games either way, or could we be actually seeing just a new console from Microsoft due to such high-specs just much sooner then we thought we might have.
Also how will devs find this if they have a game coming out that's multiformat and has to run on 4 different SKU's and then you might add NX to the mix.
We it be very much like PC gaming and One gets low end, PS4 gets low-to-medium, Neo Medium-to-High, Scorpio High-to-Ultra versions of the game.
On the bit in the first post about Xbox on PC and stick thing, this is all under Project Helix which goal is to bring PC and Xbox together. That Scorpio being basically a high end PC and Slim being a low end PC might make sense in terms of that and the games coming out on Xbox and PC going forward that the Xbox systems are there for people that don't want to build a PC and the ones that aren't bothered about power will get a Slim and the ones wanting Ultra high end graphics with out the fuss buy a Scorpio.

| Well there'll be not shortage of Zelda available. Fair play to Nintendo: they're putting all their eggs in one basket, but it's a massive basket. |

| If I were a braver man, that first sentence would be tagline material. The bad thing is that I think it can just be about Zelda. A stage and lots of demo units with nothing else is a strong possibility. Also, if it's not just Zelda, then Nintendo has been at best bluffing, with their squeaky clean reputation. I'm taking them at face value, for better or worse. |

| I reckon from going EGX etc the smaller space to the right above Rift will have stuff like amiibo stand, somewhere to sit for streetpassing and all that sort of. Where the rest will be Zelda which will lot's of pods of the two 15 minute demos on the show floor along with some big Link & Epona statue and there's a 90 minute backstage demo as well.
Which I'm saying is what will be shown in the Zelda Direct, maybe not quite all of it due to interviews etc and I'm making the bold prediction one of the 3 demos will be be on Wii U for us to play by the end of the week.
It's still disappointing nothing more then Zelda but what else have they really got to show though as Pokemon for instance is sorted by the Pokemon Company and Masuda is meant to be at E3, so maybe where just waiting for the Pokemon Company to announce something for that. |

| STOP THE PRESS! Unless you're Jaster, in which case the press rolls along much as previously. For the rest of us, Nintendo are showing off some Pokémon stuff at E3. It's not a lot, but it's much better than non-stop Zelda and nothing else.
...followed by JRPG streaming day (something for Jas here). Hm, sounds like (despite the lack of big broadcast) Nintendo's presence will be much more substantial than previously thought. Not sure whether this was always their plan, or a reaction to substantial negative feedback? |

God I hope we get a MH Gen demo to download on that same day & to answer your question I'm thinking always their plan because why would you reveal your entire hand?

So more things will be shown - sort of stuck between thinking 'of course' and 'thank God' - but that doesn't mean this won't all still be Zelda. Otherwise, the question is this: word pie or word casserole for Zero? |

It's like someone saw this coming Basically it's now Zelda, Pokemon and some games coming this year which I think is enough now to be honest, with maybe one sort of new thing like Mother 3 for VC |

Nintendo will win E3 in my eyes if that happens. I don't care if Sony promise bags of money to every PS4 owner or if Microsoft state they can unlock the hidden potential of the human brain with the Kinect - Mother 3 is more important. |
