E3 is just... kinda pointless right now. I understand where you may be coming from in how to track all the new releases, but there are resources available. Many of the big gaming news sites have a release calendar to help, and beyond that I tend to peruse a few places online to find out about the more niche grey market stuff like "Another Metroid 2 Remake" or... or that game that isn't Mother 4 any more but I still want it.
The whole "feel" of E3 comes across like they're some kind of eternal half-time show. Whatever E3 used to be, it isn't that any more. Not by a long shot. I just don't care. I read the announcements in bite sized form the next day... or few days after E3 ends and with the benefit of being filtered a bit better from the original source, which is a gigantic advertisement. E3 is no longer a trade show. It's a series of commercials. I'll be glad when it's gone. That's a "when" not "if".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
