The floor plans for this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo have been revealed, and it appears SEGA’s booth will be a bit smaller this year compared to E3 2013. SEGA will be sandwiched between Bethesda and Ubisoft.
Also, Atlus’ booth, which looks to be about half the size of SEGA’s, won’t even be in the same hall as SEGA’s booth, as it will be next to Nintendo and Sony.
It will be interesting to see if the reduction in size of SEGA’s booth has any impact on the amount of games it plans to have playable on the show floor. Last year, SEGA had playable versions of Sonic: Lost World, Castle of Illusion, Company of Heroes 2, Total War: Rome II and the mobile version of The Cave.
SEGA has yet to announce what games it plans to have playable at this year’s E3, but we’re sure Alien: Isolation, Sonic Boom, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd, Crazy Taxi: City Rush, Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies and possibly Heroki will be there in some form or fashion.
Do you care to guess any surprises SEGA might have in store for us? Anyone brave enough to bet on a Phantasy Star Online 2 showing?

I’ll bet a nickel PSO2 is there. No. Two nickels. Also maybe some new 3D Classics coming to the West (Fantasy Zone, After Burner, Out Run)? Perhaps Sonic Jump Fever as well on the mobile front? Oh, and of course Shenmue 3 bundled with a limited “Dreamcast 2” edition of the PS4- white system with a swirl logo and everything. Yep. Don’t hate me when I’m right.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Sonic Jump Fever. That will DEFINITELY be there, and I suspect, like you said, the next round of 3D Classics will also be announced, if not in playable form.
I think aside from those games already mentioned, all SEGA would have to do to win over the gaming industry is announce a release date for PSO 2. People would go ape shit.
I think Atlus is in a much better spot, casual people would go for the Big three hardware companies rather than the 3rd Party studios where SEGA is located a.
