• Super Mario Galaxy: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21554.html

Aside from the obvious I'm looking forward to seeing No More Heroes. I really enjoyed Killer 7 and think this has a lot of potential. Also I haven't seen much about Lost Odyssey in a while... those are the two that immediately sprung to mind. I'll have a better think later.

Oh and Mario Kart Wii... it just seems like the next logical game Nintendo could announce, and I really wanna see that.

For the 360, I'm looking forward to more about Banjo Threeie. Everything else I want for the 360 is the obvious stuff, like Halo and Assassin's Creed.

For the Wii, I'm hoping Nintendo announces some crazy "Cater to the Hardcore" plan, but that's unlikely. There's a lot that needs to be done with the Wii, like what I just said, and the graphics! I'm no graphics whore but really, some Wii games look terrible and it's unacceptable. As for games, I just hope they announce some GOOD games. I'll eat a baby if one of them is another minigame fest, besides Mario and Sonic.

Wait, E³ still exists?! I thought it died... o_O

They downsized it but it still exists.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to everything obvious, plus I'm really hoping for some cool surprises. Shows like this have become painfully predictable.

Yeah, some REAL games for Wii would be nice but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm addicted to Smash, so I'm hoping we'll get to see a lot more of it and maybe even a release date.

Other than that, I'm looking out for anything about Soul Caliburs IV & Legends, and MGS4 (hopefulyl that it will be multiplatform...not holding my breath on that one though).

There's a lot of other stuff I'm sure I'd be interested in reading about, but those are the things that come to mind immediately.

Oh, and I'm curious what this new 2D fighter from Capcom is.

EDIT: 3000th post!


BOW BEFORE DOOM, SO YOU MAY BASK IN HIS GLORY AT THIS MOMENT!

Double post for a very good reason.

I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but according to Gamespot, this is E3 news. So here we are.

This is coming from the head of Konami for NA and EU. Basically, he thinks the PS3 is still too damn expensive, even after the $100 price drop, and is worried that they won't even make their money back on MGS4.

This is very good news for me, because I really don't want to have to buy a PS3.

God, I wish they'd stop beating around the bush and just say whether it'll be multiplatform or not. This 'Maybe, maybe not' crap has been going on for months now, and it needs to stop.

It seems like at this point, it'd be pretty ridiculous not to. More often then not, companies will avoid commenting on speculation to avoid a situation where they may have to go back on what they said. Konami seems to be doing the exact opposite.

Maybe it's like...they know that right now they need to do it multiplatform, they just really don't want to or are somehow being pressured not to and are scrambling to find some sort of excuse to avoid it.

Since it is now E³, it seems ridiculous to continue. If they were ever going to announce it, the time doesn't get any more perfect than right now.

I guess there'd still be time. It's only just started, hasn't it?

No clue. I know the conferences haven't been held yet, anyway.

Microsoft's is tonight. Everyone else's is tomorrow. Nintendo and Sony, anyway.

No MGS4 at Microsoft's conference but a short glimpse of Resident Evil 5 (which looked pretty sweet). Apart from that the conference was kind of slow. Mass Effect looked good, Lost Odyssey on the other hand was really disappointing.
"Viva Pinata: Party Animals"??? Please...

Halo 3: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21469.html
I don't know Jack about Halo so I'll just comment on the graphics which start off kind of underwhelming. Especially the animation isn't as smooth as I would expect from a triple-A title. Towards the end of the trailer it gets ****ing amazing though. Weird.

Resident Evil 5: http://gametrailers.com/player/21466.html
Creepy. The African setting should be interesting.

EDIT: I'm going to collect all trailer findings in my first post. Seek and post, brothers!

Only one game up there has my utter most attention - Soul Calibur IV.

Honestly, Soul Calibur III was frickin' perfect for me. I would love to see how it's followed up *nods*

The Killzone 2 trailer is here! http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21504.html
Of course it doesn't look as good as the pre-rendered stuff they showed two years ago but it's still more than impressive. I'm actually quite surprised.

EDIT: Soul Calibur Legends trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/u...ies/82239.html
Meh...

Have you played either of the first two? Because I can't see how you could think that if you had. Soul Calibur III was very disappointing for me.

I think SC Legends looks surprisingly decent, actually. The co-op pretty much guarantees I'll pick it up, when the price goes down at least.

I'm definitely looking foward to Soul Caliber Legends. I never got Soul Caliber 3 but I did play it and I didn't really care for it. I still say the best Soul Caliber is the original on Dreamcast. #1 thing I'm looking foward to this year is Brawl of course. I really hope there's a trailer for it released.

I'm looking forward to Soul Calibur IV, Halo 3, Turok, and Crash of the Titans. I was surprised to see a new Crash Bandicoot game, hopefully it will be as good as the others. I never did play Crash and Cortex, or whatever it was called.

Hopefully there will be some news on Turok. I saw a trailer a few weeks ago and I couldn't see that much, the lighting was way too dark.

Didn't Nintendo specifically announce that Brawl would not be playable at E3? Hopefully we'll see some new videos and characters, though.

Nintendo's conference is on in 20 minutes! Who will be watching?

Where are they streaming it?!

1-up streams it pretty well every year. That's how I'll watch it. Can't wait, should be damn good.

1up is having some server issues today. If you can't watch it there, I recommend gamespot.

1up's not doing great, could you link me to that?

I thought the Assassins Creed demo was sweet. I'm so pumped for that game.

Halo 3, Assassins Creed, GTA VI, Guitar Hero 3, and Rock Band all by the end of the year :o Good thing I've started to set aside funds.

Wow, Reggie's already pissing me off. "Older gamers....expanded market share" blah blah blah.

Brawl...December 3rd...oh boy.

OH MY GOD!! Online games and no mention of Brawl!!!!!!

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Like the goddamn oracle over here. Despite the announcement of Mario Kart, I have to say I was fairly disappointed with the press conference. Maybe because last years' was so good.

I swear, at some points of the conference I thought of killing myself. Downright horrible. Mario Kart and Galaxy were the only redeeming parts.
I wonder what that awesome "Wii barance boardo" is supposed to cost. Because it looks really, really EXPENSIVE.

Man, that's it. They make it seem like they still care about the core gamers, but they don't. Shiggy has gone from making epic games to Wii fit. AND NOTHING ABOUT BRAWL ONLINE! Man, Microsoft is my new favorite. I hate you Nintendo..........:cry: :cry: :cry:

They didn't even announce anything new for the DS. What the hell? I was hoping for a new Mario game or something, instead they just babbled about their casual crap.

Calm down guys, remember how Nintendo announced Snake in Brawl after the press conference last year? There's still hope that they've got something better up their sleeves for E3. Also, did they show any new tracks for Mario Kart or were they all old ones? Looks like they plan on putting classic tracks in every Mario Kart game from now on.

Yes, but.......I dunno. It'll be pretty hard for them to redeem themselves after this. Like, Sonic and online for Brawl. Then Pikmin 3. Then a new "no bad graphics policy". Then a "no PS2 ports with tacked on waggle policy". If they do all that, then MAYBE I'll forgive them.

Yeeeahh, totally going to happen. :lol:

Brawl will be online. They've already talked about it...on the site, I think. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for more info and stuff though. All we got today on the website was an entry about the bumper item.

I'm gonna say that because of the magnitude of the game, there may be a specific time later when it will be focused on individually, again like how the trailer debuted last year under everyone's nose. If you think about it, showing something to only a few people in secrecy and having everyone clamor over finding it themselves is probably more effective viral marketing than just showing it off to the world right off the bat. They definitely did that last year with Snake and everything.

Here I am, live from Santa Monica. I'm just popping in because I've got an assload of appointments with Game Factory, Sega, and then Capcom, so let me say it.

The MS conference may have been bad, but Nintendo was the worse I have ever seen. Worse than 2003, worse than anything. I feel like I've been patted on the back and shown the door. Mario and Smash were completely brushed off, even by the lord Miyamoto himself. I'm disgusted. Smash isn't even here. Mario is, otherwise I would consider the entire trip out here a waste.

I am so getting laid Friday night after the John Williams concert. I am going to Vegas and getting fu*king laid, because this week is a disaster and I need something good to get me over it.

Com'on Sony, don't let me down.

btw, I'm at Sony Pictures Studios right now using their wi-fi to talk about Nintendo. Enough of that.

GIVE ME FU*KING WIPEOUT.

I need some good news right about now.

Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!

God forbid anyone tries to remain optimistic in here.
