E3 2015 Conference Times: Where to Watch, and What Will Be Shown

There are eight major press events at E3 this year (up by three on previous shows,) with Bethesda, Square Enix, and the mighty PC platform all committing to separate conferences.

You probably want to know when they’re all on, and where you can see them. You might also want to know the games that have been confirmed for each event (and maybe see some speculation on unannounced titles too.)

In that case, I’ll stop stringing out this intro and get right to that information. Bear in mind we’re a PC site, so this is presented from that perspective. We’re not all that bothered about Microsoft or Sony exclusives (unless they’re likely to wind up on PC.)

Where possible I’ve provided links to the publisher/company’s own streaming source for the press event. All of these will be shown on the general E3 YouTube or Twitch channels as well, so those are your back-ups.

16 JUNE

Nintendo: 9.00am Pacific (Noon Eastern, 5.00pm UK.)

Where can I see this? Nintendo’s E3 site is a pretty good bet. It should also be streamed on their YouTube channel, or Twitch.

Which games will be shown? None that have anything to do with the PC, unless something very odd happens. Nintendo’s E3 shows are now pre-recorded though, which means they get to mess about with them and make them a whole lot more entertaining than an endless stage-parade of suited men and uncomfortable developers. Could be worth watching, just for that reason. Or if you want to keep up with Zelda, Mario and crew.

Which games MIGHT be shown? As above.

Square Enix: 10.00am Pacific (1.00pm Eastern, 6.00pm UK.) – Concluded

Where can I see this? This conference is over but you can watch it here.

What games were shown that are coming to or likely to be on PC?  Just Cause 3, Mad Max, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

The PC Gaming Show: 6.00pm Pacific (9.00pm Eastern, 2.00am UK.)

Where can I see this? Looks like it’ll be on this Twitch channel.

Which games will be shown? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? PC gaming has rather a lot to choose from, and this show has two hours to fill (doors open at 5.00pm, but it doesn’t start until six.) There are couple of confirmed attendees. Bohemia Interactive will be turning up with some Arma 3 expansion news. Phil Spencer has said he’ll be doing something Windows 10-related.

Other confirmed participants include Creative Assembly (some Total War: Warhammer?,) Paradox (any number of grand strategy games,) Tripwire (Killing Floor 2) and Blizzard (Blizzard things, probably Overwatch.)

Which games MIGHT be shown? Half-Lif … no, I can’t do it. Valve aren’t even listed as guests. Unless that’s what they WANT us to think.
