I dont only expect game announcements. Anything new and surprising is what gets me excited about E3.
The problem with this years E3 (sony) is that we all pretty much know whats coming. The one surprise that they had was leaked, sadly. And well the last gaurdian...i dont even know what to say about that game.
I just hope I'm wrong and I hope the leaks are wrong too. No one saw the 8gb of ram announcement coming or how Sony completely killed the X1 at last years E3. So yeah doesnt necessarily have to be new games (although new game announcements with gameplay trumps everything else!) but anything new, unexpected and exciting. Thats why i get hyped for E3..you never know whats coming. Except this time it seems

well, each year the leaks get more and more accurate. the shame of the digital age really as it affects everyone not just E3.
if you really want to be surprised you probably have to quit the internet for the month of may each year. sometimes i wish i had the will power to do so,.. i often think (lately) that vgcz kills my enjoyment of games. that which used to be so joyous is mired with critiques of frame rates, pixals, dynamic shadows, glitches, but mostly exaggerated expectations put in place by fans wishes of what a game ought to be not what it is.

Don't have that sort of will power either.
The leaks have been particularly bad over the last year and during the build up to next gen. One wonders why these companies don't try harder to route out the leaks. That can be easily done by leaking specific information to certain people and then monitoring if it gets leaked.
I guess another reason why I will be more dissapointed by Sony this year, if they dont impress, is because they are currently in a dominant position in the home console industry and as a company they really need an industry where they dominate. This is a golden opportunity for them to take advantage of the momentum. But i have a feeling that they will let it slide, which is more evidence to me that Sony as a business lacks that killer instinct that little bit of something that makes one company better than the rest. I've been monitoring their mobile strategy, imaging strategy and gaming and it doesnt seem like Sony really has a plan to dominate anything. They've kinda struck it lucky with PS4 so i was hoping we would see more innitiative from Sony.
Companies that dont have a plan to lead industries usually fall by the wayside. And thats whats happening to sony now. Given their more streamlined focus i thought they would be more aggressive. A bit off topic i guess but oh well!
