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.
