A horse of course

Seeing as we're just under one week away from the hardcore old-skool non-linear tactical squad-based RPG event of the year, I thought I'd string together this little list of what's officially confirmed to be showcased (so far):
[Titles confirmed to have no PC release are noted, where possible]
Popamole FPS
ARMA III + DayZ (no idea what DayZ's doing there, maybe just marketing)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (America vs. huehuehue robots)
Halo 4 (360)
Crysis 3
Medal of Honour: Warfighter
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Metro: Last Light (May be withdrawn due to THQ's financial troubles, unclear)

God of War: Ascension (PS3)
Inversions (Gears of I WANT TO BE A GRAVITY GUN, 360/PS3)
Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3, added this but not Amazing Spider-Man since the latter is a direct film tie-in and thus inevitably shit)
Star Wars: 1313 (Gears of Coruscant)
Gears of War: Judgement (Gears of Gears by Bulletstorm/Painkiller devs)
Dead Space 3
Splinter Cell: Blacklist (Gears of Splinter Cell)
Lococycle (no idea, 360)
Matter (kinect shit, 360)
Watch_Dogs (Gears of Hackers)
Popamole with swords
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (sic erat scriptum)
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (shitty pc port of a shitty game)
Assassin's Creed 3 (racism)
DmC (Devil May Cry with a gay protagonist)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (360/PS3)
LEGO Lord of the Rings (adding this for the lulz)
Ascend: New Gods (God of Xbox, 360)
Popamole Strategy
X-Com Enemy Unknown (the original game with bugfixes, higher resolutions, remastered graphics and UI and hahahahahaha no I'm just kidding it's the shit one)
Carrier Command: Gaea Missions (Carrier Command re-imagining by ARMA devs)
Eador: Masters of the Broken World (Turn-Based fantasy)
Defence of the Ancients 2
SimCity (Reboot by Maxis, always-online DRM)
Worms Revolution
Company of Heroes 2
Popamole Multipass
Dust 514 (PS3, MMOFPS in EVE Universe)
The Elder Scrolls Online
Neverwinter
Raiderz (Action MMORPG that's like Monster Hunter or something)
Planetside 2
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (Another MMORPG, XP?)
DC Universe Online (XP?)
Everquest 1+2 (no idea what they're doing here)
End of Nations (MMORTS, iirc)
Rift (XP?)
Defiance (MMO Action/Shooter by Rift devs/publisher)
World of Tanks/World of Aeroplanes
Wizardry Online (Japshit MMO of a shit franchise)
Popamole where you play a role (don't give me backtalk, there would be about 2 games here if I used the purists' definition)
Borderlands 2
Divinity Project/Original Sin (by Larian)
Dragon Commander (RTS/Aerial Combat/RPG by Larian)
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (Japshit, though level of severity is unclear. PS3 only)
Darksiders 2 (Zelda crossed with Spawn)
Persona 4 Golden (PSVita, Japshit)
TES V: Skyrim - Dawnguard (Twilight with Dragons, 360-exclusive until exactly one month after release)
Dishonoured (hands-on demo booth)
Torchlight 2 (some 3rd-rate Diablo clone)
Popamole beat-'em-up
Persona 4: Arena (PS3/360, Japshit)
Street Fighter x Tekken (PSVita)
Dead or Alive 5 (360/PS3)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (360/PS3)
Injustice: Gods Among Us (DC Universe by Mortal Kombat devs, 360/PS3)
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3/Vita)
Popamole Wii U Launch Titles
Pikmin 3
Rayman Legends
Super Mario
Something to do with Zelda
ZombiU (zombie FPS set in london)
Batman: Arkham City - Armo(u)red Edition (1 year old port with some shitty gimmicks)
Scribblenauts Unlimited
A shitload of ports
Popamole I wasn't sure how to categorize
Shootmania (Trackmania franchise FPS that is also an MMO but may be singleplayer too I'm not really sure also it's backed by Ubisoft hurrrrrrr)
Unreal 4 Engine (already shown to journalists at GDC 2012, first real-time footage to be revealed to public)
Quantum Conundrum (physics-based first-person-puzzler)
There are about 20 other officially-confirmed titles, but they're all xbawks live crap, rock band spin-offs, sports franchises, social games or other assorted detritus I couldn't possibly imagine anyone here caring about)
Beyond: Two Souls (QTE-fest from Heavy Rain devs starring Ellen Paige, PS3)
Popamole rumoured/unofficially confirmed to appear
Killzone/Call of Duty/Assassin's Creed/Soul Survivor Vita Editions (PSVita)
The Last Guardian (PS3 vapourware)
Crooked Bee claims that Carmack is working on something for E3, based on an alleged email sent to an alleged fan that I can't find anywhere. Should id showcase anything, be prepared to update your .txts (Since D3BFG is confirmed to be showcased on the floor, I assume that rules out any other games, but will keep this up just in case)
"Project Happiness", by the creator of Harvest Moon, will be unveiled.
Michael Pachter has stated (based on meetings with them) that Microsoft intend to carpet bomb the show with Kinect shovelware and 360 "media hub" nonsense (allegedly including an "Xbox Lite"), so don't expect anything interesting from them. There will be zero chance of any next-gen consoles being announced, although the Wii U will obviously be the centerpiece of Nintendo's slot. There may well be a price drop for either 360 or PS3, though it'll more likely come around October/November. GTA V will almost certainly not appear, as Rockstar prefer to do things on their own schedule (although Pachter says there's an incentive for Rockstar to do something at E3, due to some complicated financial-quarter related stuffies and thingies) Bioshock Immersively Epic has been pushed back a year and will not be shown. The team working on a "major unnamed project" (Dragon Age 3) at Bioware were eviscerated so they could help prop up the sinking TORtanic, therefore Gaider talking about anything not related to ME3 or Star Wars would be a surprise.
In short, it's a good time to be a PC Gamer
Feel free to let me know if I've missed anything, and I'll update the list.
The above only counts for the official press conferences, not GT's exclusive footage.
