Xbox E3 Plans Revealed – All The Details
Microsoft has announced its plans for Xbox for this year’s E3 on Xbox News Wire. Its press conference will take place on Monday, June 15 at 9.30am, and can be streamed live from the website, through the Live Events Player, on Windows Phones, and on Xbox 360 or Xbox One consoles. The conference will also be aired in the US and Canada on Spike TV on a program titled “Xbox: Game On.” The conference will include details of previously-announced games as well as trailers for unannounced titles.
Microsoft is also bringing back Xbox Daily: LIVE @ E3, a daily live show that will cover all the Xbox-related events at E3. It will be hosted by Larry Hryb and Graeme Boyd, and will include “breaking news, exclusive announcements, trailer reveals, game demos, and interviews with game creators.” Guest stars on the show will include head of Xbox Phil Spencer as well as guests from 343 Industries, Turn 10 Studios, Crystal Dynamics, and more. It will air on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 4-5:00pm and can be streamed in all the same ways as the press conference.
E3 won’t be the only event this year full of announcements from Xbox. “This year, we have an amazing games lineup to share (who knew it’d be so hard to pack all of our exclusive E3 premieres into an hour and a half?), so we’re saving a lot of exciting reveals for gamescom in August. It’s already shaping up to be a great year.”
The final icing on Xbox’s E3 cake is a giveaway of tickets that will allow fans to see all the Xbox events at the expo. There will be 500 tickets given away, and the details can be found on the Xbox site. The lucky fans will be given entry to the Xbox press conference, an exclusive FanFest party where fans will get to play the “best exclusives and biggest blockbuster games this holiday and beyond”, VIP access to e-sports events, and meet-and-greets with industry leaders. Xbox has also promised there will be more goodies to come with future announcements.
The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.
Think you can cheat death?

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.
Honoring the dying.
Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?
Bloober Team’s survival horror game Layers of Fear is terrifying. The Trophy List on Exophase just appeared, and players will have to go crazy to obtain Platinum.
With a Silver Trophy like “a new way” requiring players to “live through the third conversation” (and a few of Bronzes for surviving the previous two) and another called “face your fears” appearing when you “see your enemy and fail”, we might chase this one with the lights on.
Do you like Layers of Fear’s whole trophy list? Do you want the Plat?
The PlayStation Showcase, which divided fans and prompted our full-throated Reaction, was a ratings winner. Gamesight’s number crunchers found that PlayStation fans were drawn in by the appeal alone, even though many of the titles we wanted to see didn’t show up.

It’s possible certain Showcase games were withheld. Summer Game Fest may bring something? Watched the big spectacle live?
