The Official E3 2010 Thread

[Archon_Turtle]

Hey guys. Here are some pics from day 1. It's all mainly shots of booths. I've given up on taking footage of actual gameplay or trailers since the internets does a better job than I ever could.

Nintendo killed E3. their best showing of all time. I'm drunk sothis post is going to be fast. Played the 3DS at the conference and again today right before the show closed. Its like looking into a 6 foot diaorama. Its fu*king amazing. I can't describe it. Thr analog stick is like a better Sega Saturn stick. Donkey Kong Country Returns (thank you God) is aaaaaamaaaazing. Star Fox 64 kicks ten times more badass in 3D. The bullets come at you. Hell, Sony's 3D is amazing. I'm sold. Epic Mickey is amazing. Ocarina of Time in 3D is amazing. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 doesn't suck. Hell, Sonic Colors doesn't suck. Homefront is amazing, Bionic Commando 2 is kickass. Capcom is win. Motorstorm Apocalypse is amazing, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is fu*king AMAZING. MOTERFU*KING KID ICARUS FINALLY!!!!! I

And Microsoft's entire E3 show is a goddamn joke. Disaster. Kinect sucks balls.

And I met Lady Gaga. Really. She's the sweetest person ever. Greatest week EVER.

Wow, looks like Sega finally learned now. I heard Sonic Colors has stoped with the whole gimmick thing and now has more platforming, And Sonic 4 is just back to the old school.

I'm just too excited for the 3DS. Resident Evil, Zelda OoT, Mario Kart, Saint's Row, Super Street Fighter 4, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater, Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, and Blood Rayne! Just so many games! Now I'm hoping for a new Metroid and a real Mario adventure.

I randomly ran into Blanket and Prince Michael Jackson at the DIS booth. Weird.

I gotta say something about this little sleeper title at the Sony booth called Invizimals. It's an augmented reality game for the PSP (w/camera). It's like Pokemans, in that you battle creatures, but the neat thing is that the creatures "leap" out of your real world environment and are created based upon colors of objects in your environment. I'm really interested in the tech more than the gameplay. I think it's really neat.

As I opperate largely in the children's sector of gaming, these are the things I nerd out on

Sure, Nintendo might have blown everyone away with games and hardware but Konami won the conference battle with ease.

Sure, it was an absolute Engrish trainwreck from start to finish with mostly trash games, but it was so entertaining. From the Def Jam guy talking about how black people 'have Obama' for 20 minutes while their projector is busted, to the super awkward live action luchadore performance, to the creepy lolita-game teaser without any gameplay, to the Glee choir performance and best of all these guys! I laughed so hard from start to finish. I felt so sorry for all the journalists in that room. They sat through the torture waiting for more MGS Rising, but they just got the previous trailer again from yesterday.

Console wars are lame, they always have been lame. People who argue over which video game system is better needs to get out of their house and maybe talk to a girl.

It's more than just them, Nintendo fanboys, Sega fanboys of the past etc. There's nothing wrong with having your preference, but that doesn't mean you have to be blind to everything else out there. Console bashing/wars are childish.

I agree. All systems have good games. The only reason someone would say "Ah PS3 is better then that sh*tty Wii" would most likely be because they own a PS3 but never played a Wii. It's just really lame. Everyone has their own opinion on a console, but it takes someone to own all of them to have a real opinion.

[GK Punk]

Out of the current gen, I only have a 360. I'd love to have the other two consoles (And may have to get a Wii at least for Metroid The Other M...) Just haven't had time, or really the money to drop in to other games lately.

[Turo602]

I only own a 360 and a Wii. I can't see myself getting a PS3 any time soon. I want one, but I aiming on replacing my Wii with a black one and replacing my Elite for the slimmer one. It's really annoying I had the 60 gig for Christmas and then I bought the Elite and now there's a new one.

[XERO]

I don't care what system I get or what color. It could be friggin' pink and I'd be happy.

And did I just hear the return of Donkey Kong Country? WHAAAAAAT? Any word if Wise got tapped for the soundtrack?

[sdp]

From the earlier comment about DKCR, I agree with that poster only I don't think he expressed it very well. For a game called DKCR it really didn't feel DKC to me. Sure it had barrels and mine carts but the art style didn't really feel very DKCish to me. In fact it reminded me of DK Jungle Beat (which is an awesome game btw) mixed with a hybrid of NSMB/DKC.

But yeah I kinda wish it looked more like DKC, even DK64 had that art style. Hopefully they get David Wise for the music, he just left Rare a few months ago and he was responsible for most of Rares iconic music including the DKC games. I'm also kind of bummed that this is what Retro came up with, Rare took Donkey Kong a dead franchise and re-imagined it and made some great games with it. Retro also re-imagined Metroid another dead franchise and made some great games with it. So when the rumors before E3 about a new DK game from Retro I was hoping they'd re-imagine DK a third time like Rare did in the 90s and not just re-do what they did. I'm sure it'll be a great game though but for those reasons it did not excite me as much as the other announcements.

How is that flaming a mod? Its true, Once I turned 15 I stopped caring about console wars and if you see most people who get so heated about console wars are usually under 15. Theres exceptions of course.

As for them needing to talk to a girl and get out of their house well you can say the same thing about people who post on a TMNT forum or those who even that take a forum Mod position seriously Now that would be a flame

[XERO]

Yeah, this is nice.

I know, It's fun watching him prove my point about how childish he is. I can't wait until his next rant about how out of date this site is. You'd think after our first exchange in this thread, he'd just say "Didn't mean it as a flame, sorry about that" To which I would have apologized, but instead he tries to start a flame war.

Kids are fun.

[Ninjinister]

So um... how 'bout them there new games then, eh?

[GK Punk]

I also just realized this is the first E3 in awhile where I didn't have Corey calling or Texting me every few minutes "OMG THEY JUST ANNOUNCED (Insert something cool here) Too bad she left Screw Attack...

[XERO]

I've been on a Screw Attack binge, actually. I've been trying to watch all of their Vaults and Top Tens.

Oh, and the Nerd's good, too.

[GK Punk]

I actually co-wrote a Top Ten,(Maybe two) and a few bits on Side Scrollers in secret

Edit, Actually I don't think it was Side Scrollers, it was Hard News.

[XERO]

Dude, really?

You gotta tell me which ones so I can check 'em out ASAP, ASAP!
