Welcome to E3 2016, arguably one of the biggest events every year in video games. We have conferences to speculate about, trailers to watch, announcement to wait on the edge of our seats for, and so much more coming to us over the next week. Is that franchise you like getting a new sequel? Is your favorite developer coming out of retirement for one last hurrah? Will Valve finally learn how to count to three?
We here at TechRaptor are going to be doing our very best to keep you updated on all of the news that comes out of E3, and we've already seen so much! We have a team of writers traveling to E3 ready to mingle with a variety of developers, including CD Projekt Red, Bandai Namco, and many others! For those of us unable to get the time off work though, we will be diligently sitting behind our monitors around the world ready to cover events and announcements as they happen. Our E3 2016 coverage will include prediction articles on what we expect to see, Recap and Live articles of all of the conference announcements as they come out, interviews with developers from the convention floor, and coverage of all of the non-conference news as well.
Contents
At the beginning of E3, this contents table won't be able to link to to much, but as E3 goes on, expect this to be the easiest way to find news that has been added, or to find news that you might want to go back and show your friends.
