Yeah, I know I made this super in advance, but I'm excited and its only like 2 months away.
I'll post E3 presentation schedules here as well, and I'll try to keep it updated with streams and such as the event goes on! Maybe we can even watch some of them together!

Spyro isn't owned by Sony. But speaking of Sony, I reckon there's gonna be more on MediEvil. They could show us the opening cutscene, and perhaps the first two levels of the game; Dan's Crypt and The Graveyard.

Crash isn’t either, but N. Sane Trilogy and him in Skylanders was shown off last E3. The Sony and Microsoft conferences aren’t just console exclusives.

You mean, 2 E3's ago
Dude I don't remember all these past E3s they all just meld together.
Probably the biggest thing for me is Kingdom Hearts III. I think E3 2018 is gonna have the biggest blowout of KH3 information yet. I'm expecting we'll see the Big Hero 6 world, and I hope we do. I watched the movie recently and really liked it, so I'd love for them to finally reveal what that world is gonna be like. I also expect one other world reveal, one we haven't heard of yet.
I also want to see some Gummi Ship gameplay. The Classic Kingdom trailer hinted at something I've been wanting for Gummi Ships in this game, so I'd like to see some confirmation of that.
The new trailer/s will probably feature more story tidbits as well. I'd love to see Namine in the new engine, though I am expecting we will see Kairi in her new outfit.
And finally, a playable demo for E3 attendees. I don't expect a public demo, but one at E3 is enough as I really want to see some unfiltered, unedited gameplay. I'm really picky about gameplay in KH after the messes that were BBS and DDD, and while 0.2 BBS has made me optimistic for the future, I still want some extra security about KH3 itself. My biggest worry is that there will be too many mechanics for combat and they won't be able to balance them. Also, I want to see the scope of the worlds and how the flow of exploration goes. Again, 0.2 BBS has me optimistic about this, it seems like the world design is leaning more towards KH1, which is what I've wanted for years. But I want to be sure.
Besides KH3, I just wanna see more Spyro mostly. I also am hoping to see a bit of Sonic Mania Plus, as well as a gameplay trailer of the new Sonic racing game. I'd also like some unfiltered and unedited gameplay of both Spyro and Spider-Man. I would also be interested in any news on the Last of Us 2.
On the Nintendo side, the main thing I am looking forward to is some more info on upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Expansion Pass content. Mainly, I want to see a trailer for both the Challenge Battle Mode, and the story DLC. I want to know if the Challenge Battle Mode will use our save data from the main game (so I know to knuckle down and start farming and building up more Blades), or if it will just be preset loadouts with preset stats. For the story DLC, I doubt it will take place after the ending and I doubt it will use our main game's character data, but I want to see if it will feature all-new locations. Also, while I know they said it will be a side-story, I'd still like an epilogue scene for the main game because its something I feel it was severely lacking. I particularly want to know (huge Xenoblade Chronicles 2 end-game spoilers)...
What happens between Nia and Rex. We can reasonably assume what happens to Tora, Morag, and Zeke. And Rex will probably go back to Fonsett with Gramps, Pyra, and Mythra. But Nia is in an awkward spot. She confessed her feelings to Rex, and while it's clear Rex is in love with Pyra and Mythra, it's left ambiguous as to how he feels about Nia. Especially after the addition of those unlockable title screen animations from beating New Game+, which seem to imply that Nia basically gets accepted into Rex's little harem. And as ridiculous as some people may find that idea, I think it does make sense, given what we know of these four characters. Not everyone accepts it as canon, though, mostly Pyra/Mythra fanboys who deny it. So I'd like a little scene to confirm it.
If she doesn't get accepted into the harem like that though and NG+ title screens were just fanservice for the sake of it, then they need to make it apparent as to what Nia does with herself, because she otherwise wouldn't have a home to return to, if not staying with Rex.
ANYWAY, besides the Xenoblade stuff, I guess I'd be curious to see some Smash Bros. I really want some confirmation of actual, meaningful game modes and content, but they'll probably just reveal an ARMS or Pokemon character and confirm a few veterans. Or confirm if its an updated port of the Wii U/3DS games.
Other than that though, I mostly want some cool surprises.
EDIT: OH, and Fire Emblem Switch. I'm interested in that.

A spiritual successor to Icewind Dale 2(if they can’t remaster it) with as much variety and bringing back getting a second class via leveling up or more generally a GOOD D&D videogame again,what happened to quality for those?

Hoping for:
-A new F-Zero game(please for the love of god Nintendo give us a new F-Zero)
-We get a truckload of information for The Last of Us Part II, hopefully some gameplay at least, since Neil Druckmann confirmed the game is coming to E3 and I honestly think it's gonna be the biggest game at E3 besides Smash Bros, let alone Sony's biggest game.
-Anything relating to Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem Switch, and/or the Pokemon Switch title
-I'm expecting we'll get stuff for Shadow of the Tomb Raider since it's getting its official reveal soon
-More stuff on the Spyro Reignited Trilogy
-Hoping Sega shows off whatever the Sonic racing game is here, as well as Sonic Mania Plus stuff
-Also Sega maybe you could throw in a new Rhythm Thief game?? just a suggestion
-I really hope Skull and Bones has more shown off here, I'm really into the idea but if it's nothing but multiplayer ship combat I'm not gonna be interested. Just making it a complete spinoff/spiritual successor to Assassin's Creed 4 is more than enough for me personally.
-Telltale shows off stuff for The Walking Dead The Final Season and it will hopefully look a lot more promising than A New Frontier did.
-I don't expect it at all, but I'm open to seeing anything Bioshock related. Kind of hoping the trilogy collection gets a Switch release eventually and maybe Nintendo will surprise with that.

Cool cool.

Watch Dogs 3 (rumored to show?)
Borderlands 3 (rumored to show?)
Cyberpunk 2077 (confirmed to show)
Bayonetta 3 (idek)
Bioshock (since apparently a new game is in production but I'm nervous on how/where they're going to take it)
The Last of Us Part II
Concrete Genie
Ghost of Tsushima (still unsure on the plot but Sucker Punch hasn't done me wrong yet)
Assassin's Creed
There's probably a couple of others, but I'm looking forward to learning about new games as well. Doesn't take much to sell me on a game.

I suppose I'll list some hopes. I make note of anything I think is extremely unlikely.
Nintendo
1) Trailer and/or gameplay for Metroid Prime 4 with a release window (less likely: actual release date).
2) Super Smash Bros. gameplay showing that Switch version is a completely new experience and not just a souped up Smash Wii U. Because I'm still skeptical. It can use the same engine, sure, but make it feel like its own thing. (Unlikely: a Subspace-esque story mode is confirmed.)
3) Dream Friends wave 2 and/or 3 for Kirby Star Allies. (Unlikely: reveal of a true hard/EX mode with a new Ultimate Choice difficulty to boot.)
4) Nothing related to Pokémon Switch. Yes, that's a weird hope, but I really do not want this game coming out in 2018 if it's going to be competing with Smash around the holidays.
5) Highly unlikely: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon for Switch.
Sony
1) Free roaming Spider-Man gameplay, as opposed to the scripted sequence we got last year.
2) Activision showing up to give us gameplay of the Reignited Trilogy.
3) Highly unlikely: a Sly Cooper game. #GetSlyOuttaEgypt
Microsoft
1) Just... confirmation that Crackdown 3 isn't dead. That'd be nice.

Congrats! You wasted five seconds reading this.
- A good amount of Smash Bros Switch gameplay
- Yearly request for a new Punch Out thing
- An actual game announced by Microsoft
- More Spyro remastered gameplay
My hopes:
- More KH3 news. New world and/or gameplay with San Fransokyo or Cable Town.
- More on Spiderman for PS4.
- Agreed with HIR for nothing about main series Pokemon this year.
- Fire Emblem news. Wishful hopes of Elibe remakes.
- More Fire Emblem Warriors DLC.
- More with FF7 Remake

Once in my dreams, I rose and soared. No matter how I'm knocked around or beaten down, I will stand up restored.

Why are the ones I wanna watch the most on the worst schedules.
So uhm, I want some Smash, hopefully something Crash, that one Yoshi game would be fun, Spyro could be nice, maybe the Mario + Rabbids and Splatoon 2 DLCs. Yeah that's about it. New games are always welcome.
Hope for:
GTA6
more info on Spyro
Spyro, Crash and Shovel Knight confirmed for Smash.
Just Dance 2019 to stand out more at E3
A new Earthbound game
BATIM and FNAF comes to Switch
New amiibo, as there is a lack of it this year.
A Deadpool game
Shovel Knight 2
Pokémon and Fire Emblem Switch games
New Star Fox game
Detective Pikachu in Pokken.
Or it’s FINALLY The Elder Scrolls VI after all those years,Skyrim is great but I’m tired of hearing about it,maybe Morrowind or Oblivion will finally get remastered or we are getting a TES pack that also remake Arena and Daggerfall.

It isn't happening. If they made a new game rather than milking Skyrim, I assume Todd Howard would die instantly.
