The Official E3 2011 Thread

[愛]

Hey guys, E3 is around the corner so I thought I'd make the official discussion thread of the best time of the year (besides Christmas, of course).

I'm expecting great things from this year's E3. Nintendo's making their move for the next generation of gaming (I guess), so hopefully Microsoft and Sony will counter with some info on their upcoming plans.

I was thinking about making getting an E3 drinking game going. Maybe every time they say "revolutionary," take a drink. Or perhaps "3D." I dunno, just an idea.

[Turo602]

I'm expecting to hear lots of great news. Nintendo has Project Cafe, maybe games to announce for it, announcements for 3DS games, Super Mario 3DS news/trailer, Mario Kart 3DS news/trailer, Skyward Sword news/trailer, Tell us what Zelda's 25th Anniversary project is, that Kirby game for the Wii and who knows what else to expect from them. I think their going to dominate E3 again.

I also expect for Capcom to give us a trailer for Resident Evil Revelations and some Dead Rising 2 Off the Record news and I have a feeling they'll announce DLC for Marvel vs Capcom 3. I also hope Ubisoft announces the next Splinter Cell (Conviction left me wanting more) and of course I'm sure they'll also have info on Assassin's Creed Lost Legacy and Revelations. As for Sega, I'm sure they will give us news on Sonic 4 Episode 2 and of course Generations. I also want to hear more on Batman Arkham City and Spider-Man Edge of Time. And dammit Rockstar, I want some Payne 3 info already!

I hope Microsoft announces there next system or say that it's in the works. I want to hear more on this Alan Wake game and find out if this Halo remake is true. That would be an awesome way to celebrate Halo's 10th Anniversary. Some more Gears of War 3 news here and there along with that Kinect Gears game whatever it could be.

I'm very excited for E3 this year and that's what I expect/hope for I guess.

I just know there's more I'm missing.

[Redeemer]

Gears of War 3 news
This is the only thing that even registered in my mind:D

And Gears 3 is the main thing that I am waiting for:D

and of course the next Assassins creed game

[Cure]

What more do you people want in terms of Gears news? Kinda silly to expect anything substantial at this point.

[愛]

Chances are it's going to be grey everywhere, chainsaws and shooting. Maybe a little story?

I love the series, but there's not much to be hyped about.

[Turo602]

What more do you people want in terms of Gears news? Kinda silly to expect anything substantial at this point.

Yeah, I know. Even though I love the hell out of Gears, I feel like I can wait for Gears 3 without wanting it really bad since they have told us too much (But I still want to play the campaign really badly though, that's all I'm interested in in terms of Gears of War and maybe Horde). Nintendo knows how to keep their mouths shut and make us want a game really bad without us even knowing much about it. For example, Skyward Sword. It's the next original Zelda title and its so mysterious that it makes me want to experience it right away besides it being the next Zelda. That's why I'm glad I know nothing of the Gears of War 3 story. I want it to be new when I pop it in on day one. Sorry for rambling, but I just expect them to give us Gears of War 3 news that isn't necessary at all. The only new Gears news would be the Kinect title.

[Redeemer]

There is still a lot of things they are concealing

And oh yes there is a reason to be hyped. Horde Mode has not been revealed at all! Horde in Gears 2 brought a entire new mode to many Shooters.
They are keeping something huge away from us in Horde mode they are not showing us anything of Horde mode until a couple months b4 the release???
They showed a lot of Horde trailers in Gears 2 and a lot of games copied it and even improved on it in some instantces. Horde mode was suppose to set Gears 2 apart from others FPS but they gave other companies ample time to copy the idea b4 the realease

My point is they are hiding horde I think bc they have something special about it this time around and they have not even revealed anything about custom games.

There has been one Campaign trailer so they can still reveal a lot and there is still a lot of things in the multiplayer that have not been revealed yet

[愛]

So it's basically...survival mode from Left 4 Dead 2? I already did that. Still don't see what's to be hyped about. That was only one thing, too. You're hyped about one thing?

[Redeemer]

I am a very excitable person I guess :lol:
I dont even think its that what will be shown at E3 but that Gears 3 is so close, but yet so far away.

It was suppose to initially launch November of 2010,
Then got pushed back to April 25 2011
Then got Pushed back to September 20 2011
So Ive been waiting for a while

[Slap-Happy]

I thought a kinect Gears was in development, maybe that'd be announced?

Hopefully Nintendo's next console relies less on motion control and more on... I don't know... Not motion control?

[Jester]

I'm hoping for some more info on Madden '13. They haven't told us much.

What the heck am I doing here?

[Peanut]

I say it every damn year and will continue to say it until I drop dead - I want stuff from Rare that isn't bullsh*t. I want a new Conker, a real Banjo-Kazooie game, SOMETHING. I'll take the XBOX update of CBFD as an XBLA release. Anything! Just let Rare do something that isn't involving god damn Avatars. Looking forward to Summer of Arcade announcements as well, there's usually some real gems in there. Ms. Splosion Man PLZ.

Also, obviously interested in whatever Nintendo is gonna show off involving their new console and whatever they've got to demo it, if anything.

Other than that I'm just hoping for some new and interesting IP announcements. I'm over giving a sh*t about sequels to modern games, because you know they're coming and that they'll be what you expect, so there's no point in waiting or even caring about news of them. Darksiders probably being the one exception to that rule.

MK DLC news would also be nice. We know we've got the costumes/fatalities coming, but I want to hear about characters.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Rare is going to be shut down if Kinect Sports 2 doesn't sell, so I don't expect them to make it past Summer.

Otherwise, I want to see the slew of 3DS games. Nintendo has gone from the position of casual peddler to supplier of high grade premium games in the face of the iOS. New 3D Mario from the Galaxy team in my pocket is what I'm looking most forward to. I want to see some new IP for Project Cafe.

I expect Microsoft to make a fool of themselves by rushing the next Xbox to meet Nintendo. Bad idea. Microsoft needs to find something to set them apart. Kinect+ isn't going to cut it, and graphics aren't going to be the pull they once were. At the end of the day, 1080p is still 1080p. Halo is done, Gears is probably on a downhill slide, and CoD will be burned out by Fall 2012. Microsoft needs new internally produced IP, and LOTS of it. Problem is that they've fu*ked most of their first party studios over the course of this generation. Sony is probably going to stay the course, but I'm REALLY looking forward to the NGP. It'll probably wind up being a port house by and large, but there's a lot of stuff I'd love to have in my pocket.

In other news, Ocarina of Time's soundtrack is being done by a full orchestra. Confirmed via Iwata Asks. Mahito Yakota is handling it. He was hired specifically for orchestral arrangements. He brought you the soundtracks to Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. It'll sound like this:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/japanese-story-the-legend/714252

Hype +10.

Also really excited to see more of Sonic Generations now that we know it's not going to suck. Such a weird feeling, but a welcome one.

Staying home this year. Expect me to be in this thread all damn day long during E3. :)

co-sign. The uncharted 3 footage from the tokyo Press Conference was pretty sweet looking. I'm really looking forward to seeing more features / games. & hopefully a hearing a price



edit: also , Disney Universe. (http://www.push-start.co.uk/pc/disney-announce-disney-universe) oh yeah

[Redeemer]

Halo is done, Gears is probably on a downhill slide, and CoD will be burned out by Fall 2012.

I dont agree, Microsoft owns Halo, Bungie is done with Halo, but I think that they may try to make another Halo game, I am jst sad it was handled so poorly.

As for Gears I dont think so, Gears of War 3 jst became the number preordered game for xbox of all time, Beating out halo2, halo 3, Halo Reach. Beat them all, 1.3 million pre-orders!!This is mind blowing and Epic games plans on making more Gears of War games! The only thing is will it be exclusively for xbox??

Also until a game series is able to uproot Call of Duty its going no where, pretty much like Halo. Gears, Cod and other FPS eventually up rooted Halo, but it was mostly Cod.

Also I am interested in what Sony will do after Sony's initial Bomb shell (PS3)

[Storm Wolf]

I think Halo has run it's coarse (and I've been a halo fan since it came out). The first Halo game is what introduced me to the xbox and it was the first FPS that I had ever played. When 2 came out I HAD to have it..... When 3 came out I dragged my Fiancée to the mall to stand in line for the midnight release.

Halo Wars never ever attempted.

When Halo: ODST came out I was disappointed in the way they were going but I gave it a try.

Halo Reach I STILL haven't played it (unless you count the beta).

I love the Halo story and more than anything I'd love to see more games with Master chief, but I have to be honest and admit that Halo has had it's day and it looks as if it's over.

Anyways....I'm always excited about E3. I love to see what games are out there in the making no matter the console! Since I don't regularly keep up with all of gaming news this is my chance to play "catch up".

[XERO]

I don't really have much expectations for this one aside from Sonic Generations and the new Nintendo console. I'm sure it'll be a good show regardless.

Really Halo Reach is an excellent game definatly better than the third one best halo campaign imo loved it 2nd best halo imo

[AquaParade]

Super excited for E3 this year. It's almost too much good news coming our way. I must be repelled by happiness :-?

Unlike Peanut, I am excited to hear new details on a lot of sequels coming this year. Arkham City, Bioshock Infinite, Metal Gear Solid 5, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Ninja Gaiden 3, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Dark Souls ( lets face it, it's a sequel ) and The Last Guardian are all game sequels I am completely stoked to hear more about.

Of course, new IP's are the magic of the industry, and I'd love to see something new from Hideo Kojima Productions, Valve, Team Ico, or any other game developers on the rise :)

[Storm Wolf]

The Last Guardian are all game sequels I am completely stoked to hear more about.
)


huh? .....what is The Last Guardian the sequel to?

[AquaParade]

huh? .....what is The Last Guardian the sequel to?

I guess it's more of a spiritual successor. Being the third game ever made By Team Ico, right after Ico and SOTH, makes it easy to think of the game as a sequel. But, it's true that we probably wont see game mechanics from past games.

[TheCanadiandrome]

does anyone have any information on when the Big Three Press Conferences are?

[Cure]

Makes it easy for idiots to think that, sure. And SOTH is...?

[Peanut]

Again, pretty sad with the state of some of the people in this section. Thank God TMB will be hanging around.

[AquaParade]

Cure and Peanut are insulting me one after another for a simple error? What a surprise :lol: Yes, I meant "SOTC" And yes, I do like to think of The Last Guardian as a spiritual successor, not a sequel or a new ip ( Yes technically it is a sequel, but so far you can see similarities in all three ico games - i personally like to think they take place in the same world) .
Yes, yes,very sad that people rather point out a couple typo's/flaws to make me look dumb, then continue the actual discussion. Do you really think it was that "sad" that I called The Last Guardian a sequel peanut? It's really not a big deal lol. Cure, you really can't figure out "SOTC" is what I meant when I mention The Last Guardian and Ico in the same post? Ha Get real guys. Continue the discussion if you want, but don't make meaningless post's directing spite at me, unless you are going to say something useful as well. You are grasping for straws if you are trying to call me out over tiny things like that. Moving on...

The rest of the games I listed convey my point: I'm stoked to hear about awesome sequels.

[Cure]

You're so ignorant it HURTS. Going by your mentality, Bulletstorm is a sequel to Gears of War cuz it was pretty much the same team. Awful.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Actually that's the whole reason I want to play it. I love bullsh*t shooters. The more realistic, the less I care.

[AquaParade]

You're so ignorant it HURTS. Going by your mentality, Bulletstorm is a sequel to Gears of War cuz it was pretty much the same team. Awful.

I said I personally like to think of it as a spiritual successor, after accidentally calling it a sequel. That isn't ignorant. I am not defining how anyone else needs to feel about it. It's a personal opinion. Do you really want to continue on that arguement?...:roll:

What has me most hyped about E3 is all the surrounding rumors around Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima, and even the fishy Platinum games rumor. Anyone have specific hopes for the Metal Gear Solid series? Peanut, I am curious as to what future you see for the series, if any.

[The Stryker]

I really think that MGS needs to go away. 4 was a good end to the series and brought everything together in typical crazy fashion. They pussed out on the ending but there are no more stories to tell in that universe as far as I'm concerned.

Announcing MGS5 would just show that Kojima has absolutely NOTHING else.

[Peanut]

AquaParade, don't feel so privileged as to think I was talking about you. Your last horsesh*t argument pretty much guarantees I skip your posts until someone tells me you said something else stupid.

This x100. I think Kojima is pretty tapped on ideas, though, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised if he did decide to do another one. However, I feel like a sequel to MGS4 would pretty much negate anything decent that happened in 4. I mean, the game was pretty much negated by the absolutely horrendous post-game cutscene wrap-up anyways, but why make it worse?

I think MGS is done, but Kojima is not. Personally, he should bring back the Policenauts franchise, but it'll never happen since it was kind of never brought over here. :(

[Peanut]

Kojima is f*cking insane in a way that kinda doesn't work so well anymore. I think people are sorta over that brand of insanity at this point. He may have ideas here or there, but I don't know that we'll ever see him create something as large at Metal Gear ever again.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Aside from the fact that they were good, Kojima's games were mainstream popular because he made cinematic video games experiences that were movie like and had high production values in an era where that was rare and quite difficult to do. Now that we have a gazillion western studios doing the same thing but arguably better, Kojima's brand of whacky doesn't fly like it used to.

I'm not saying Metal Gear Solid is bad. It's amazing, but it's done. If they make anymore, it's just because Konami needs to print more money.

Word is the NGP has been gutted to be more price competitive. The 512MB ram has been slashed by half, the 16GB of internal memory has been removed. This would SUCK. Graphics are the only thing the NGP really has going for it, and this will affect it's ability to have multi-platform releases with console titles. I'm honestly hoping for some portable versions of console games like MvC3. I hope this is just a rumor.

Remember when Sony scaled back the PS3's amount of cores in the cell, and stripped the second HDMI port off the machine? We could have had multi-screen multiplayer off one machine. Sucks.

[AquaParade]

Peanut, I think we both know you intended a little bit of your post towards me. But hey, you can deny it ;]

I know what you guys mean about Metal Gear Solid though. If anything, I would just love a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 with Guns of the Patriots mechanics. I could call it a Metal gear-day, after that. The story, setting, and action of 3 combined with the smooth controls of 4 would make for a perfect Metal Gear game.

How do you guys feel about Peacewalker probably coming to PS3? Anyone played it? I want to be excited for it seeing as its sort of a direct sequel to Snake Eater's story, but the fact that they took out mechanics like crawling on the ground, scares the **** out of me.

If you are a fan of the comics, it will blow your socks off! If not, it's still an enjoyable game.

[Turo602]

I want to hear more about Max Payne 3. I hope its not like what we saw years ago. They made him bald and with a beer gut (he almost looks like Sam Fisher from Double Agent). What the hell. And I'm also not a fan of the setting. Sam Lake was the best Max Payne. Rockstar don't ruin the series. I expect it to be a good game either way but probably not a good Payne game. His voice and the music were so awesome. The noire feel and bullet time must return.

I'm also excited to see more of the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Super Mario 3DS, Resident Evil Revelations, Sonic Generations, and Batman Arkham City. E3 is gonna be so great.

[The Stryker]

Remember that Batman comic where he spent half of it in a vent? Man I love that one.

Funny stuff. Still it's one hell of a ride if you are a Batman die-hard. The nods to the comics are great! I remember it not being too popular here though.

Arkham City will probably step it up in a big way.

[Peanut]

definantly. The first game was fantastic.

It was a good game that had significant issues (vents, detective mode, the Killer Croc section, horrible boss fights) that were overlooked and glossed over because 1) the world at large was in love with Batman following Dark Knight and 2) it was the first genuinely good Batman game made since the NES.

I feel like timing was everything with Arkham Asylum. It helped catapult it from being a good game with strong gameplay hooks that needed some serious work into a "masterpiece" in the eyes of a lot of f*cking insane people.

[AquaParade]

Almost forgot about the Killer Croc section. Yuk.

The game was very highly praised, arguably more-so then it deserved. I would still call it a great game though. A solid first entry into a Batman saga with a ton of potential. I still find it interesting that a lot of members here consider Wolverine Origins as the greater of the two, though. (translated for Peanut: Can't believe how many ****ing idiots actually consider Wolverine to be a better game, when in reality it is piece of **** game for kids who don't know **** about real gaming)


I kid, I kid ;]

I agree with that , I wouldn't call it a masterpiece by any means , but it was still like you said , a genuinely good game. One of my favorite things about the game was the voice acting , it was really well done imo , mark hamill is my favorite incarnation of the joker and kevin conroy & arleen sorkin both did excellent too.


I'm definantly looking forward to seeing more about it at E3 and seeing what changes they make

Ugh. Give it up you f*cking tard. No one thinks you're clever or funny and you just make yourself look more childish by bringing me up in EVERY POST YOU MAKE. Grudge much, kid?

And again, I don't think anyone is saying Wolverine Origins was a better game overall, but it was more stupid fun and it didn't have the same problems that had an effect on the overall game. Less ambitious, less impactful, less polished? All of the above, but it knew what it was and it did it well. The detective mode in Batman alone was so insanely implemented that it's mind-blowing people don't mention it as the huge flaw it is.

[The Stryker]

Well, for one, Sorkin is out, and Tara Strong is now Harley.

I like this actually. Sorkin's voice would sound weird coming out of the redesigned Harley.

Although I wish Harley's redesign involved her not being in the game at all. What a sh*tty character.

[deadpoolRKO]

Well, for one, Sorkin is out, and Tara Strong is now Harley.

Relax, Peanut. You are the most entertaining character in the video-game section. How could
I not push your buttons?

I do recall a few specific people claiming that Wolverine was the better game overall. Thats what I was referring to. You don't think anyone was saying that? That's speaking for a lot of people, and a few of them did say that. Not trying to rip into Wolverine though.

Once again, did anyone play Peacewalker here? I'm curious as to how they felt about not being able to crawl. I assume they would bring that back for a ps3 version though...

That was me. Wolverine was way more ****ing fun than Batman. Peanut noted everything, about the less polish, less developed, etc. He's spot on. But as a ****ing game? Wolverine wins for me ten times over. It was FUN to play. Batman (though I thoroughly enjoyed it), was a divisive experience. The combat could barely be called "playing," because you're moreso just watching this weightless ballerina act of fisticuffs. They book-end it with this bone-shattering animation, sure, but its a false way of making you feel like you accomplished something, or the actions you did were of your own volition.

Batman was more of an Adventure game than an actual action game. You essentially put Bats in a room, and watched the events unfold, with little-to-no actual work on your part.

And Wolverine didn't make you go through vents all the ****ing time.

[Ninjinister]

Include me in that bracket. I liked Arkham Asylum, but Wolverine was so much more fun.

I read that the developers want to do a Deadpool game in the same vein. If they'd manage to capture the same sort of spirit with that as they did with Wolvie's game, I'd totally fap to it.

[AquaParade]

That I can agree with, Brodie. I mean I still prefer the experience given by Batman:AA, but I can go with your point about Wolverine having more interactive gameplay.

[Cure]

I think we found Peanut's new stalker.

[Peanut]

That I can agree with, Brodie. I mean I still prefer the experience given by Batman:AA, but I can go with your point about Wolverine having more interactive gameplay.

Right...you prefer the experience of AA to Wolverine because you've played both, right? You're not just blowing smoke out your ass here. You've got the proper knowledge on the subject in order to argue your super valid point, correct?

Right now I am considering New Vegas and Wolverine, seeing as I haven't played either.

OH WAIT!

[Turo602]

I liked both games very much. Wolverine was fun and had many cool ass kicky moments that were amazing and fun to watch and Batman although quite repetitive I really enjoyed it too. The combat was fun to watch as well and both games were great experiences overall. Although both are very good games to me I think I enjoyed Batman a bit more just because I was able to geek out more to Arkham Asylum and because I choose Batman any day over Wolverine even though I like both a lot. Most likely Arkham City will fix the problems of the first one, at least I hope so, it looks really good from what I've seen. I wonder if co-op would work in that type of game? I would like to see that in the future.

People shouldn't get offended because other people have problems with parts of Arkham Asylum. They are just stating the truth but it doesn't mean they are saying that its a crap game. I'm sure they enjoyed the game too. I also feel Origins was underrated.

Edit: Since this is a thread about E3, I hope Nintendo announces a Smash Bros game for 3DS. We already have a handful of Nintendo characters coming to the 3DS along with extras.

[AquaParade]

Peanut did it ever occur to you that I picked up Wolverine? I'm guessing not. Sentinel fight was the highlight for me. Loved the alternate outfits, but the thing that bugged me most was Wolverine's moves seemed kinda...weird for him to be performing.They didn't seem natural - more like something Kratos would be doing. I admit I haven't gotten to the very end yet, seeing as New Vegas is way too addicting, but I definitely get the gist of it. Like I said, it's fun and all, but I prefer the moody atmospheric experience of AA.

I think we found Peanut's new stalker.

Right now, I'm the one being stalked. I'm so glad you posted that right before Peanut shows up with a week old quote from me, that isn't even accurate anymore lmao. It was a brilliant attempt though, Peanut. Had you caught me ranting about a game I hadn't played, you surely would have made me look like a fool ;]

[Slap-Happy]

It was a good game that had significant issues (vents, detective mode, the Killer Croc section, horrible boss fights)

I know that detective mode has been significantly changed due to them finding out that people were beating the game entirely in detective mode.

I don't know about vents though, hopefully changed. I'm pretty sure Croc's gone, but who knows.

Even though the changed detective mode, it seems they've added a lot of stuff. Maybe too much stuff. Like the dive bomb move they were showing off in the trailer. And using gadgets during fights sounds intriguing, but too complicated.

[Peanut]

How did we all call that one? Exactly as we said!

And sure, we ALL BELIEVE YOU.

I could have sworn you could use a couple gadgets, or at least the bat-grapple, during combat. But, like you said they say it's a new feature. I know it's new for the bat-gel and everything else, but still...

Probably be less vents considering we're in Gotham City now.

Peanut chill man. I'm not going to try and convince you that I played a game. I don't care if you believe me. Are we 12?

Are Xbox and Sony showing off new systems as well or is it jst Nintendo???

E3=Awesome!!

As far as I know the next Playstation is in development.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1170944p1.html

I also think that Microsoft is working on theirs too, but I'm not sure. They will probably announce it but I doubt we'll know anything about it.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Microsoft will tease the next Xbox, or show something frivolous to try to upstage Nintendo, but they just started hiring for the platform in March. They've got nothing to show. Then again, Nintendo "showed" the "Revolution" in 2005 when they had nothing. I picked it up walking out of the conference. Empty box. Microsoft will show "something" to get attention, but that's it. Sony will focus n the NGP. Ps3 has a at least two, maybe three good years left in it.

I like this actually. Sorkin's voice would sound weird coming out of the redesigned Harley.

Although I wish Harley's redesign involved her not being in the game at all. What a sh*tty character.

Are you KIDDING? She's easily the best Batman villain. And not having Arleen in the game is a serious blow to me. The character was created specifically FOR her. I might be biased because I've met the woman and she's the nicest person ever, but not having her in the game irritates me greatly.

Either way, it's sad that this is Hamill's last time for the Joker. He's quitting after this game.

Honestly I'd rather have Mad Hatter over Harley but whatevz.

VIDEO GAMEZ.

does that mean that to get 3G on the NGP ( psp 2 ) , it will be through verizon ?

[ThirdMarioBro]

I played with the Xpheria Play/PlayStation Phone last week at a media thingy. It's terrible. D-Pad is still, L & R placement is horrible, the analog thumb pads are pointless, and the game library will be worse than the N-Gage. Awful product.

lol ??? u didn't get it did u????
First off its an opinion there for it cannot be stupid. U are stupid for thinking an opinion can be stupid lol

And second Mass Effect is an RPG and the storyline and character is dictated by the player, therefore there is no set character identity. Therefore my Sheppard might be stupid, but urs might be awesome :P

[AquaParade]

Toughie. I wanna say Sony, but that may be wishful thinking, and it will require them having something great from Kojima Productions, good info on FF versus, and a new quality IP announced.

Nintendo has a good chance as well, but we all know that a majority of that rides on "Project Cafe". If Nintendo's new system really does have the power they say it does, and they can show off some new first-party games to go along with it, such as Metroid Or Mario, then they just may take the cake.

Microsoft? Don't really know what's going on with them these days, to be honest.

...Lol at Cure.

[Brodie]

Yeah. Sony, for sure. I know it'll be the best for me, in watching it, if its just them licking their wounds and apologizing for an hour and a half. "Sorry, sorry, sorry. Oh, we also have...uhm...Resistance...3? Sorry. About both things. Resistance 3 and the whole credit card thing."

I dont think Sony can really do much at E3 I think that double hack is still glaring over them.
I think xbox should have had the biggest E3 but they already showed their cards with Gears of War 3. Thats what everyone knows they will emphisize on, but a lot has already been shown and the beta is already over and done. So I think Nintendo will have the best E3 with their new console

[The Stryker]

Maybe they'll announce that the PSN store is back up at the conference and act like it's a new thing.

Littlebigplanet?! WHAT A DEAL!

Also, Who cares about anything Kojima does anymore? I sure don't.

Microsoft showed their cards when they announced that Gears 3 existed. Nobody outside of braindead idiots expect that game to be anything but the third Gears of war game.

[deadpoolRKO]

I think Sony's main thing will be the NGP , ( psp2 , vita , whatever they name it )

but I also think they need something to show with PS Move. It's pretty much gone no where compared to the Kinnect.

Nintendo's project cafe will be interesting & I'm sure microsoft will be more celebratory than nintendo or Sony and focus mostly on the Kinnect's future

[AquaParade]

I sure as hell care about what Kojima does. He's my favorite developer, and I'm definitely not alone in that. Don't let this "bubble" of a message board fool you. There ARE other opinions out there.:lol:
Whether its Metal Gear, Zone of the Enders, or a new IP, you can bet that if Kojima announces something, it is going to be a big deal to a lot of Playstation supporters. Also, whatever Sony Santa Monica is working on should be interesting. Hopefully, not another God of War. GOW 3 was spectacular on a visual level, but the games have started to bore me. Although, if they do announce GOW 4, I will still be interested.

NGP and 3DS games should be interesting to see. I haven't bought a portable device in years, and still probably won't unless they have some really spectacular games on display. I just don't know how often I would use a modern portable gaming device. Work? School? Dates with my girlfriend? None of those seem very doable. And I certainly won't want to play it at home.

I glared over PSMove, but it's hard not to. Does anyone here even care about playstation move? Motion controls lost their appeal to me after owning the Wii for a month.

To answer your question clearly though, I think Nintendo has the best chances of "winning". I'm plenty excited to hear about their new console! But, if some great stuff from Kojima is announced then Sony will likely steal the show for me.

Yeah. Sony, for sure. I know it'll be the best for me, in watching it, if its just them licking their wounds and apologizing for an hour and a half. "Sorry, sorry, sorry. Oh, we also have...uhm...Resistance...3? Sorry. About both things. Resistance 3 and the whole credit card thing."

Yea, not like Sony would want to talk about Uncharted 3, The Last Guardian, Agent, FF Versus, or any other sure-to-be hit's coming out.

[Peanut]

And second Mass Effect is an RPG and the storyline and character is dictated by the player, therefore there is no set character identity. Therefore my Sheppard might be stupid, but urs might be awesome :P

First of all, he said JRPG. Mass Effect is any kind of RPG it's a Western one.

Second, have you ever even played Mass Effect? Shepard isn't a blank slate character. In fact very little about Shepard's actual identity or personality are truly up to the player, you get to make choices on a lot of things, but they're all arbitrary and most of the time you're just using different means to get to the same end.

Sheppard can never be "stupid" he can only ever be awesome. It's just your choice whether he's awesome in a "talk this bad guy into giving you information" way, or awesome in the "kick a bad guy out of a window instead of asking questions" way.

I sure as hell care about what Kojima does. He's my favorite developer, and I'm definitely not alone in that. Don't let this "bubble" of a message board fool you. There ARE other opinions out there.

Why the f*ck do you think parroting the thoughts of other people makes any of your opinions more valid? And if you have such a HUGE problem with this forum, why the hell don't you just leave?

[AquaParade]

There is a difference between copying other peoples thoughts, and confirming that there are people other then me with the same opinion, Peanut. Don't be so dense. My point was that despite everyone here not being too interested in Kojima, there are people outside of our technodrome bubble who are interested. I didn't say I had a problem with this forum, I just called it a "bubble". You need to learn to take what people say for what it is. Don't twist my words.

Don't forget that Japan probably loves Zone of the Enders much more then we do. Kojima is super popular over there. You do have a fair point though. ZOE isn't huge to everyone, but I feel that my point still stands: Anything Kojima announces is a big deal for Sony. The game will sell. Many Sony fans will be excited.

Again with the comprehension problem!? REALLY!? I didn't say you were copying other peoples thoughts. I said you were stating the opinions of other people in order to make your own seem more valid.

MY point is that why does the fact that other people share the same opinion matter in the least? Whenever you do that it looks like you're trying to justify your opinion because you can't let it stand on its own.

Why the hell do any of us care what other people think? If you've got an opinion state it and shut the f*ck up, don't try and qualify it with meaningless sh*t no one cares about.

You are the biggest f*cking clown to ever come in here. You're one of those ignorant f*cks who can't make a point for your argument, then resorts to being "above it all" when you get proven wrong. If I'm the one who's constantly unable to back up my opinions, why is it that everyone in here thinks you're a f*cking retard?

Peanut, read again. I comprehended what you meant. Jesus. You said I was parroting people's opinions = copying their opinions. You do know that's what parroting means, right? I mean you used the word...Anyways that's not the issue. If you still don't think I got your point, read on...

We are talking about who will "win" E3 in the eyes of the public. If you think only our opinions matter on the grand scale of who is going to have the best E3, you are kidding yourself.

I was talking on a grander scale, dumbass lol. Read the whole convo before jumping in. When discussing the big picture of Sony's success, other peoples opinions do matter. Understand?

If talking about your personal feelings over who "wins" E3, then yea, I shouldn't be hiding behind the opinions of raging Kojima fans. Unfortunately, that isn't what I was discussing. I only brought in my personal opinion to say that Sony will steal the show, for me PERSONALLY, if there is some good Kojima stuff.

[Peanut]

Did you miss the part where I said you were parroting (as in REPEATING words like A PARROT DOES) other peoples opinions so as to validate your OWN!? Again, clearly you did not comprehend what I was saying.

And I didn't even say anything on the subject of E3 yet. NOTHING! Where did you see me state opinions of winners and losers at E3!? Are you just making things up in your f*cking mind now!? I was speaking to you, VERY SPECIFICALLY, on the fact that you constantly use the opinions of others to justify your own. Nothing else involving E3 or Kojima or anything! I didn't even jump in on this conversation anywhere at all!

And I'm always of the "wait and see" mindset when it comes to E3. Also, saying someone "wins" E3 is a thing of the past. People need to grow the hell up.

For those of you who can comprehend, this is why I brought in examples of people who share my opinions. Because in the grand scheme of who "wins" E3, you need to take into account other peoples opinions. Most of you get that, some of you don.t :lol:

P.S. Parroting = repeating = copying.

Played Boktai and Enders. I guess that last Castlevania game too if you count that. It's not really a huge list.

Didn't care for any of them but I wasn't talking about their quality.

[AquaParade]

The funny thing is, I was still addressing the points, I was just side-stepping Peanut;)

Yea Stryker did have a fair point, in feeling that a Z.O.E announcement wouldn't really rock the Western-gaming world. But, I'd still say it'd make a huge splash in Japan...ya know..Sony's crib?

Kojima will never bring Snatcher back. It had horrible sales when it came out on Sega CD, a console barely anyone bought, anyway. It has a cult follow, to be sure, but not nearly enough to warrant millions of dollars for development.

[Peanut]

Kind of annoying, but it'll do until he gets banned from this section, which is inevitable.

Anyways, on the topic of E3, I'm looking forward to all 3 conferences. I hope Microsoft drops some new stuff, which they have to if they want to handle Sony's first-party line-up for the year, even though I don't think they have a chance of being able to handle Uncharted 3 or Last Guardian, no matter what they announce.

With Sony, I kinda just want a date for Last Guardian. I don't want to hear/see Uncharted 3 as I'd much rather be surprised by all of it, but I'm sure they'll have some big cinematic section of the game to show off. NGP/PSVita (dumb) I could care less about unless it has some kind of mind-blowing graphical capabilities and even then, I care less and less about handhelds. Give me my console experiences on a console please.

Nintendo I'm most excited for, but I feel like it could also be the biggest let-down if we don't get some Project Cafe demo's. They'll probably wait until the end before they start talking about Project Cafe and even then it might just be a little information, but hopefully they'll have something. Something to really show that Project Cafe has some power behind it would be nice. Ultra detailed HD Link or something. Also looking forward to NSMB3, which I hope is as awesome as it is in my head.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to some surprise announcements that excite me, last year was definitely something of a let down.

[deadpoolRKO]

Thanks for the acknowledgement , but I never asked who would " win " either.



i asked

who does everyone predict is going to have the best presentation at E3 out of Nintendo Microsoft & Sony ?

but the point was to get a conversation / some predictions going

[The Stryker]

My ass is going to have the best presentation.

[愛]

I find Nintendo to give pretty stellar conferences, even if they have nothing in particular to unveil. Project Cafe is looking pretty sound to me, however. Anyone see that leaked controller? Could be fake, but regardless it's getting me hyped.

Microsoft has the most to gain from this one, I think. Unveiling their new console will get every COWADOODY "gamer" hyped up, as well as the more hardcore demographic. If they have 3D technology to show, though...consider me out.

Sony...lol.

So all in all, this E3 is looking great. E3 always has this pattern of one good conference, then two mediocre ones. It comes with the evolution of the industry, though, so it's to be expected. I don't even f*cking remember last year's E3.

[Turo602]

Seriously, where's Chuck Greene when you need him?

Also, I never really thought of New Super Mario Bros. whatever. I guess it would be cool. If the Cafe really does have a touch screen on the controller I pictured this one thing where Mario gets rocketed onto your controller and the action continues there or maybe just when you go underground.

I also forgot to mention Saint's Row the Third. I really want to hear more about this game. I like that the online crap is going to be taken out and that they will focus on insane co-op action instead.

[Peanut]

Last year was super boring because both Microsoft and Sony were hung-up on their motion controller nonsense. Nintendo did alright with the 3DS, Kirby and DKCR announcements, but that was pretty much it. There really wasn't even a ton of interesting 3rd party stuff kicking around.

Edit: Oh, God! Saint's Row the Third! That'll be amazing.

What do you guys think the chances are of Nintendo showing off some first-party titles for Project Cafe? Hopefully they won't just talk spec's without some visuals to accompany them.

Rare made the Metroid Prime trilogy, correct? Show off a new Prime by them and I'll be there day-1, Nintendo.

What do you guys think the chances are of Nintendo showing off some first-party titles for Project Cafe? Hopefully they won't just talk spec's without some visuals to accompany them.

Retro did the Prime series. And I can recall that the Prime series is dead. But Nintendo did spill that they were making a new Zelda and a new Mario.

[Peanut]

GOD! DON'T QUOTE HIS STUPIDITY! Ugh!

[deadpoolRKO]

anyone in here ever been to an E3 ?

[AquaParade]

Retro did the Prime series. And I can recall that the Prime series is dead. But Nintendo did spill that they were making a new Zelda and a new Mario.

I think Rare said the possibility is there that they could return to Metroid. Other M not doing so hot, could be their calling!

Nintendo claimed to be making a new Zelda and Mario for Project Cafe? Not surprising, but still great to hear. I was a little nervous, they would just port the upcoming Wii-zelda to Cafe.

[Peanut]

ThirdMarioBro used to go to E3 yearly, but he's not going this year. I was going to go back in High School, but I couldn't get the money together to get down there. I simply live too far away.

Edit: Oh, also another good watch (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/most-embarrassing-best-of-e3/701098) for last year's E3.

Doesn't seem too appealing to me, honestly.

I can understand the excitement, but for me, waiting in lines to play video-games or hear announcement just doesn't sound fun.I rather absorb it all from this here chair.

[Turo602]

@AquaParade

When did Rare ever do a Metroid game? And anyway, doesn't Microsoft own them?

They said they were working on a Mario and a Zelda, but they never mentioned Cafe. It could be for it or it could be for 3DS who knows. Also, does anyone know about the original Zelda being remade in 3D?

[Peanut]

Rare NEVER made Metroid and yes, Microsoft has owned Rare since the original Xbox was out. Also, the last thing Retro did was DKCR.

The new Mario is probably NSMB3 and probably for 3DS. They showed the 3 with the SMB3 raccoon tail when they were talking about the 3DS before. I'm not sure I've heard anything about another Zelda aside from Skyward sword and OoT 3D. Also, don't count on an original Zelda remake with an OoT remake coming out this year.

I think you're confused. The 3 thing was with Super Mario Bros 3. The only logo I've seen was one that said Super Mario and a tail coming out from the "O" and the "Super" in stone color. It could be New Super Mario Bros 3D. They did say that it wasn't the official logo but then that would mean that it would be the first NSMB title to be 3D and not 2D. But I don't think it's that though, they said new and we already knew about that game. Sorry for not being able to provide a link. The article is from a couple of months back. As for Zelda, I don't mean a remake more like remastered for the 3D effect.

http://www.zeldadungeon.net/2011/05/nintendo-3ds-e-shop-details-zelda-surprises/#more-10254

EDIT:I found it. Maybe Mario is the 3DS game that was announced because he mentions a new Mario Kart for 3DS and we already knew about that too. But not sure about Zelda though. For it to be Skyward Sword and OOT seems weird since they're practically done at this point.

Yeah, I meant the Super Mario with the tail, not 3. I played through 3 on the weekend, so I guess I had it on the brain. And yes, that's a 3DS game so I think it'll be NSMB 3D. I don't mean 3D in terms of planes, but in terms of the fact that it'll be in 3D on the 3DS, you know? They're pretty much calling everything on the 3DS 3D.

As for Zelda, I really have no idea. One thing I've learned is to take everything said in foreign interviews with a grain of salt because they're almost always wrong, especially where Miyamoto is concerned. More often than not he gets terribly mistranslated with everything he says.

Also, no offense, but taking news from a fan website is something you should long ago have learned not to do. They're always a terrible source of information. Even if they have "sources" they're generally just rumors or misquoted/mistranslated interviews that have been expanded upon in ways they shouldn't be. Nintendo is definitely the worst where this is concerned, because they're generally so tight lipped it leads people to make up news when there really is none.

Lol yeah, everything has 3D slapped on the end of the title. And true about the mistranslations. It's a forum I joined last year and I guess I trust them but you never know.

Actually thats a pretty great picture.

[Redeemer]

First of all, he said JRPG. Mass Effect is any kind of RPG it's a Western one.

Second, have you ever even played Mass Effect? Shepard isn't a blank slate character. In fact very little about Shepard's actual identity or personality are truly up to the player, you get to make choices on a lot of things, but they're all arbitrary and most of the time you're just using different means to get to the same end.

Sheppard can never be "stupid" he can only ever be awesome. It's just your choice whether he's awesome in a "talk this bad guy into giving you information" way, or awesome in the "kick a bad guy out of a window instead of asking questions" way.




Why the f*ck do you think parroting the thoughts of other people makes any of your opinions more valid? And if you have such a HUGE problem with this forum, why the hell don't you just leave?

[AquaParade]

Yeah I have I played the first one and I hated it so much I couldn't finish it. I didn't hate the character I hated the shooting and gameplay design

I would still suggest trying ME2, if at all interested. The shooting mechanics make for an improved ride to the end of the game.

[Peanut]

Probably because you played it like a shooter. This is the problem with RPG elements being sprinkled into games with shooting mechanics, people who play shooters don't get dice rolls or bts damage counters etc. It's one of the reason Alpha Protocol got sh*t on so bad for it's shooting mechanics.

Short version - the game was clearly not for you. Go play more Gears.

Also, the conversation wasn't even about the game being good. Where did that come from?

Lawl! Sorry to kill your buzz. Who knows, man? MAYBE THERE'LL BE TEN NEW GAMES!!!

Luigi's Mansion! Luigi's Mansion! Luigi's Mansion!

LOL! Well, there's three games we know of that are coming, one of them is new, one of them is a remake, and the other is a port. But I do wonder what the 25th anniversary project is. And yes, I hope that they make another Luigi's Mansion on the 3DS. Wasn't it the first game Nintendo experimented with for 3D? Luigi's Mansion was seriously underrated.

Speaking of Mass Effect, I still need to play those. It'll really suck if I don't like it which I sorta doubt. I bought all the DLC for the second one since it was so cheap and decided to give Mass Effect a try once and for all. Who knows, I gave Bayonetta and Borderlands a try and liked them. Maybe it'll be the same for these games.

I tried playing as a soldier and as I said the shooting mechanics sucked balls. I might try Mass Effect 2 but I am going to wait for it to come down in price..

As for going back and play Gears, I have every Gears achievement for 1 and 2 I am taking a break from Gears until 3 comes out. I am taking a break from games period, but I still like playing Halo Reach from time to time

Could have something to do with me suggesting it recently, despite him not likeing some of the mechanics in the first game. The basic shooting does feel much better in ME2, so it's still worth a try for him, imo. Mass Effect 2 is such a great game.

I'm honestly surprised none of this Cafe sh*t has leaked yet. Usually by this time, stuff is being set up in LA and somebody gets a pic. The Project Cafe hype is driving me crazy. I love the idea of a local multiplayer party machine. Connectivity was always a great idea, but way too early and way too expensive.

I just want this thing to kick ass. I love party gaming, LAN gaming, and local gaming. I'm really looking forward to it.

Kotaku has all the NGP stuff up early. I guess Sony blew their info now to not get overshadowed on Tuesday. It looks freaking incredible. I pray the D-Pad is solid. If they can get the wifi model down to $250, Nintendo is in deep ****. Uncharted looks A-FREAKING-MAZING. Wipeout 2048 too.

Also, Capcom is the first publisher to pull it's head out of it's ass regarding PC DRM. I love them.

So is every other game news blog out there. Kotaku will occasionally break news, but 2 minutes later every single other blog will have it up there anyways. Unless you no job and no life, I don't see how 5 seconds to 2 minutes is going to impact your news consumption.

Know what site is worse than IGN? Kotaku.

I wouldn't go that far, because IGN is entirely worthless. At least Kotaku will get an interesting news bit out every so often.

However, Kotaku is awful because their editors are childish and generally have their head up their ass. Surprisingly, the only one worth his salt anymore is Mike McWhertor, who's grown into a respectable personality as far as game media goes. I've told the story before, but I actual had one of the Kotaku editors verbally attack me in the comments section and had another get into an e-mail argument with me.

For straight out news I just go to Joystiq. Their personalities are never involved in their posts. It's just the news without all the bullsh*t.

Besides Kotaku, IGN and Gamespot, what other sites are there?

Update your bookmarks, kids. You only need 3 game sites to get everything you need. Joystiq for straight news. GameTrailers for video and important reviews and Giant Bomb for great game related video content and entertaining discourse on games in general.

Anyways, Metal Gear Solid HD collection (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/02/konami-reveals-metal-gear-solid-zone-of-the-enders-silent-hill/) sounds really nice. Getting achievements in MGS games sounds GREAT. Also kinda f*cking insane we'll be playing a weird off-shoot PSP game on the 360. Kojima productions also said they're working on a new engine (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/02/kojima-announces-multiplatform-fox-engine-powering-upcoming-p/) that'll finally make them able to port their games to other systems like everyone else in the f*cking world. Goodbye Sony exclusive MGS games, I guess.

Saw the Soul Calibur V trailer. Disappointed. It looks like Soul Calibur IV with Super Combos and recycled stages. I was honestly hoping for a massive step forward, especially since SCIV was essentially a makeup game to overwrite the pile of sh*t that was SCIII. DOA4 brought us the ultimate multi-tier stages. Mortal Kombat brought us what a fighting game story mode should be. Soul Calibur V brings us... Super Combos? Welcome to 1994. Also, the graphics look unchanged. I don't see a massive leap from SCIV to SCV. We should be looking at a leap from a first-gen game to a last-gen game for these consoles. Either Namco is lazy and recycling their engine, or these consoles have reached their limit. Knowing Namco, I pick option #1.

Looks totally unchanged. I'm a BIG SC player. I hope to heaven there's a lot more than meets the eye here, otherwise I'm going to be a sad puppy. I want destructible stages dammit.

**** Project Cafe, **** Arkham City, and **** The Last Guardian. All I care about now is the Metal Gear Solid collection!

...Ok, not really, but I am seriously stoked on this news.

My biggest concern? How they will handle the controls. I think a revamp is the right choice to make. Something along the lines of Metal Gear Solid 4 with minor adjustments would be great. In the end, I'll consider it a fair bonus even if they just give us a third-person camera in Metal Gear Solid 2. That would definitely help freshen up the game.:thumbsup:

Edit: Realizing that implementing a modern camera could possibly really junk up the experience for MGS2.

What do you guys think - Can Metal Gear Solid 2 work with a refined camera/control scheme?

Looks totally unchanged. I'm a BIG SC player. I hope to heaven there's a lot more than meets the eye here, otherwise I'm going to be a sad puppy. I want destructible stages dammit.

Keep in mind that it's like 10% complete. They really shouldn't have showed a trailer this early... it's still in its developmental infancy and it shows.

I'm not gonna lie, this game looks beautiful.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Absolutely stunning. Me wants.

[Peanut]

Art style looks really cool, but it also looks boring as f*ck. I wouldn't expect much else from the guys who made Flower.

I always enjoy game worlds where you're just dropped into it, completely oblivious to who you are and where you are, but I also like there to be a game involved in my games, you know? It sounds like the entire thing is Flower with fabric instead of petals. Always worth checking out experimental games, though.

[Turo602]

I like that Turo doesn't put anything with the links, so people have no idea what they might be clicking on, or have a reason to click on them.

Sorry I was in a rush, it was my birthday. Just as long as I spit the news out.

With all this Metal Gear news I'm actually getting excited for this series. I never really liked it or hated it but I knew it was a big deal. But now I want to get these games.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I actually enjoyed Flower. Great stress relief tool. Not much else, but it is certainly cathartic.

[Barkworm]

Any thoughts on the Darksiders II trailer? I'm sure it'll be good but Death's design looks pretty lame.

[Peanut]

Yeah, the design isn't great. One thing that really put me off is that they apparently mention "loot" in the GI story, which sounds really stupid. I love loot and it has its place, but that place isn't in a Zelda-inspired action game.

The new trailers of Darksiders 2 and Prototype 2 for e3 have you saw them? they look realy so good!

I am also looking forward to Assasin creed revelations trailer

[TheCanadiandrome]

"N4G" stands for " New for gamers". Basically it's just a big stream of incoming game news, from everywhere around the net. There are useless updates to sort through occasionally, but you can bet any big piece of gaming news will be posted on N4g.

ah, that's what i thought. right after i asked that, i was like, of course it stands for "News for Gamers". i'm going to look the site up

Prototype 2 looks really good, but my question is will it be like the first game, the game was fun, but after a while I lost interest and the game doesn't have great repley value, I hope this one has more replay value:-?

Strong rumor (especially this late) that the new Nintendo console is just called "Nintendo". I support this choice 200%. What do we call the 360? "The Xbox". We call the PS3 "The PlayStation". What did everyone call the NES? "The Nintendo". Nintendo started losing their identity all the way back to GameCube (which was a ripoff of the Mac G4 Cube). There's a reason that a lot of former Nintendo kids don't even realize that the Wii is a Nintendo console (which by this point is probably a good thing). They didn't even put their logo on the box. Time for Nintendo to stop trying to be Apple, and just be themselves. Bring on "The Nintendo".

And for the love of God, bring back the red logo. No more fu*king iLite horsesh*t.

Are you insane? I called the original Nintendo "the Nintendo" because there was only f*cking one. After that it was Super, 64, Cube and then Wii. Also, who the f*ck calls 360 "the xbox"? Everyone I play games with/talk about playing games with calls it the 360. Same with PS3. No one I know has called it "the Playstation" since...well...THE PLAYSTATION. PS2 and PS3 always.

This is a stupid as f*ck idea. The NES wasn't even called "Nintendo" it was called Nintendo Entertainment System. If they called it something along those lines, sure, but to just call it "Nintendo"? That's dumb as hell.

Yeah I have to agree with you. Nintendo has always been creative with well everything ranging from the console's title to it's new innovations. I never liked that about Sony though, how uncreative their console names are. Just add a number at the end. There's always a reason for why each Nintendo console has a different name. For example The Nintendo 64 had 64 bits, the Nintendo DS has two screens aka Double Screens, etc. The day Nintendo stops being creative and unique is the day we have a problem.

But it's funny because everyone in Mexico calls any system a Nintendo.

[Cure]

What do we call the 360? "The Xbox".

No, we don't.

We call the PS3 "The PlayStation".

No, we don't.

What did everyone call the NES? "The Nintendo".

Like Peanut said, that's because it was the first and only one at the time.

[Peanut]

But it's funny because everyone in Mexico calls any system a Nintendo.

Because they're from f*cking Mexico.

[Turo602]

Because they're from f*cking Mexico.

I know, that's why it's funny. Every time I go there and I bring a system with me one of my aunts will say "Que Nintendo es eso". I just find it funny how ignorant they are to those things.

[Cure]

Like how you're ignorant to the fact that not everyone here reads Spanish.

[Turo602]

Like how you're ignorant to the fact that not everyone here reads Spanish.

Why do you like being such a douche? Do you get your ass kicked a lot in life that's why you like picking on people that can't physically do anything to you? It's a quote, translate it yourself. Use the damn internet.

[sdp]

"I'm playing xbox/playstation/nintendo" is done all the time, its far from the predominant way to call it like he implied but people casually saying that is not uncommon by any means.

I doubt the rumor is true since there would be brand confusion with the actual company and the console. I would like to see the Nintendo name having some type of role in the name, I was a bit sad that the Wii brand was pushed without Nintendo anywhere in it, sure it made sense business wise but I was still bummed by it.

But it's funny because everyone in Mexico calls any system a Nintendo.

The funny thing is this is total BS, but have fun spreading misinformation and ignorance.

[Cure]

I...read Spanish. Haha. Oh, you.

[Turo602]

Thanks for taking "everyone" literally.

Man, I wonder when the X-Men are going to spilit in to two teams, one led by Wolverine and one let by Scott. (he's a dick.)

What? This is about as on topic as anything else in here at the moment.

This is easily one of the most awaited E3s since 2006 when we had new hardware with the Wii/PS3. After that it was the downsizing for two years and since then E3 has been growing again and now it seems as big as it used to be and with new hardware from Nintendo and Sony its definitely the most exciting when even after going back to "old E3" there just weren't enough exciting announcements outside last years Nintendo conference. Theres so much hype I wonder if E3 will be able to live it up or if it'll be a huge disappointing, either way watching the outcome will be interesting.

Well hey, no one here is a thread commander right? The thread goes wherever it wants too.

As for X-Men Destiny, I find it lame that you play as nobodys. don't know if I'm interested in it yet.

[AquaParade]

I heard that, as well. I agree. That is all.

[GK Punk]

Just depends on what the story ends up being like. I was hoping we'd get to create or own mutants but that's obviously not the case. As much as I love hack and slashing as Logan I'd be interested in checking out what this game offers.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I like the name "Nintendo". Nintendo needs to recapture their identity. It's a good plan. I hope they do it. Also, bring back the red logo. The damn Apple imitation went too far at that exact moment when they went grey.



...I wish I was gay. :(

This answers a lot of questions.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

E3 started and the first 2 new games announced! the first new games announced is a new Star trek action game, that it is developed by Digital extremes for pc 360 and ps3. and it will be released in 2012. the second game that announced is Heist for pc and ps3 developed by a small unknown studio and published by sony online for pc and ps3. it is an fps game where you rob banks. so far these 2 are the only new games annoucments. we are looking forward to more new annoucments soon! Also new trailer of Resident evil racon city by capcom for pc 360 ps3 was released. there is also rumor according to retailer list that was leaked yesterday that Devil May cry 5 and SFXTeken will also be announced for pc too but not sure yet.

[Peanut]

So, WHO'S READY!? Microsoft conference is first up. Not very hyped for Microsoft in general this year, just because I feel like there's gonna be a ton of Kinect focus, which is a bummer. You'd think the fact that they're being broadcast on Spike would make them focus on things less casual. I know we're probably gonna get some 3rd party dudes out there showing stuff too. I think there was a rumor kicking around Ken Levine was on the MS list, so I guess we'll get to see the Bioshock Infinite demo that has apparently been blowing peoples minds.

My biggest fear is that they send the conference off with the Halo:CE remake and expect everyone to be mind-blown.

[Peanut]

So, it looks like Microsoft may have blown it (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/06/rumor-halo-4-halo-combat-evolved-anniversary-revealed-early-b/) early (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/06/rumor-microsoft-e3-page-reveals-dance-central-2-ryse-for-kin/) and if that's all the news we're getting, colour me (yet again) completely f*cking disappointed by Microsofts lack of quality software.

Is this really all they can do now? More f*cking Halo? And if the Kinect Fable game rumors are true, more of that piece of complete sh*t? What's that? More Forza!? GREAT! So many quality franchises within their grasp and yet they leave it all buried so they can continue milking a cash cow that's been looking pretty f*cking haggard for the past two iterations. Remaking Halo:CE for itss 10th anniversary (can you f*cking believe it's been 10 years!?) is a solid move, but having a remake of a game that, arguably, doesn't need to be remade be the cornerstone to the year is nothing short of awful. It's like unless Microsoft buys a company with a franchise already established, they can't get anything new in-house. What the f*ck is MGS doing all the time? Where the hell are the new franchises, clowns?

Again, this is still rumor, but as these kinds of gaffs tend to be the norm around this time of the year, I'm betting most of it is true. If so, again really frustrating. At least we can count on Sony and Nintendo to show us some quality first-party stuff.

[sdp]

The thing about Halo is they've completely overexposed/milked it it. Its a bit much to have two Halo games in one E3 and this is the second time they do it. There really was nothing that MST could show for the 360 that would have gotten me excited outside of a full on Rare revival which we all knew wasn't going to happen. What can save their show is if they do have an impressive Kinect title which is a big if but after playing with one I think it could have potential if they could really make an intriguing title which like mentioned I'm not holding much hope for. I think Microsoft really does need to mention the new 360 is coming at the very least if they want to take away some of the spotlight from Nintendo, I think it can happen since we know they are working on it but who knows it depends how much faith they have on Kinect holding the system.

Sony also doesn't have anything that may interest me on the PS3 side, even titles I've wanted badly like twisted metal/new Ico they are basically not new news. The "Vita" will be cool to see, even though I doubt I'd ever get one since Sony is doing the same mistakes from the first PSP but this time there is even more competition. I wonder if they'll even mention Move or if they won't even take it seriously like they haven't since launch. Again a mention of new hardware which we also know is coming should be a must if they plan on Nintendo not stealing all the spotlight.

I'm really excited for Nintendo, I think its safe to say they have the easiest chance at "winning", who knows they could very well mess it up and if they did it would be a big blow, not as likely but it could also happen. I mostly want 3DS games I actually want to play, I don't think we'll see much new Wii stuff, either, some smaller titles like the new Kirby and of course Zelda is the last big game it'll have from Nintendo. I don't think the Wii will get much focus since Cafe will be playable in some form. Oh I forgot the vitality sensor is probably the last hoorah for the Wii, I think it might be more interesting than what we may all think.

I would hardly call Spike the place for the hardcore..
