Rumors

I'll start, I'm looking forward to Sony's Press Conference the most because they've already said they'd show off Starhawk space battles and I expect Uncharted 3 gameplay/ a new trailer along with a price drop to go along with the new slim model.

Looking forward to it.TheGuardian03

Why are you looking forward to it? :P

Curious on some news for the Vita, but imma be glued to the Dota2 tournament when it's on :D

Why are you looking forward to it? :P

Kojima's a genius, he's bound to make something special :) and I didn't know you're looking forward to the game you want to flop :P

Does anybody expect TLG to be shown at Gamescom after a no-show at E3?

Maybe MS will show a new non kinect game?

:lol:

You never know it's possible :P I'm sure we'll hear more about Forza and Gears there since they need to at least have some hardcore games next to their usual Kinect titles.

Uncharted 3! Borderlands 2! Vita! Actual games for the 360!

Right, I forgot about Borderlands 2 :P can't wait for new gameplay or a new trailer, I'm loving the newfound variety and foliage in the series. The whole "dead valley" theme made the environment boring and uninteresting IMO I've never been a fan of post-apocalyptic games (didn't like Fallout 3 or Borderlands). I hope they focus more on having less weapons, but make each weapon more unique.

Well Dota 2 is to be expected. Diablo 3 beta might actually start at Gamescom as well. Borderlands 2 needs to make an appearance and max payne 3 as well. Hopefully we also get some more UMVC 3 gameplay reveals and GW 2 classes as well. I'm looking forward to NCsofts press conference the most because of GW 2.

Guild Wars 2 is looking amazing, if only we had games as long as MMORPG's on consoles :(

Microsofts Play Day? For real? Sounds like a play date...

The one that brought a MIG into the building.

So Battlefield 3. Every other answer is wrong!

Ugh, those conferences start way too early. Damn time zones. At least Sony's isn't the first. Hopefully I won't miss it.

I don't get why conferences can't just be planned for weekends, it's been years since a Gamescom or E3 has last been on a weekend. It'd be much more convenient for everyone :-/

Looking forward to it.

Thanks TC i was wondering when it all got started.

I can see MS blowing everyone away with tons of exclusive ip's with no Kinect enhancements! Not to mention loads of hardcore Kinect titles, to finally show the haters Kinect is the future.

But really ... MS' show will suck. If I see Gears and Forza anymore I may just throw my Xbox out the window

:shock:, didn't know gamers con was this soon

Can't wait to hear from Sony.

They actually save some great announcements for this event.

EA, because valve is probably with them. Counter-strike GO and DotA 2. Also Battlefield 3.

That'd be interesting, I'd like to hear more about the first Counterstrike on consoles. I'll bet my two cents that the game isn't consolized :P

That would make my day. That E3 trailer was amazing.

I want to see BF3 and BL2.

Please PS3 price drop. I need a second one.

Added, and that looks pretty good! I've been wanting a good pirate adventure/rpg game for a while now, and here it is! It could do well with a brighter and more vivid colour scheme though IMO.

Nintendo doesn't go to Gamescom? :(

Nope, they don't have Gamescom press conferences.

Will there be a live stream for the conferences? Also will Kingdoms of Amalur be shown?

Thanks for the link. I checked the KoA forums and it looks like 38 studios will be at Gamescom.

i wanna see some more prey 2 footage, this game is criminally underhyped.
