The Official Technodrome E3 2005 Thread

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-27-2005, 06:43 PM

Ok, this thread may be a little silent until May starts, but I decided to start it early because so much info is leaking out all over the place lately. Talk about anything, anywhere that has to do with E3. Any system, any fanbase, any news, whatever, post it here. I'll maintain/mod it until May 10, then I'll disappear for LA's Strip Clubs and other sh*t until May 16th for the big day at which time someone else will need to take over the thread. Come E3, I'll be popping in whenever I have the time be it from the motel or the show floor to drop info, links, pictures, and whatever the hell else I can find of intrest. There'll be even more when I get home and get the non-digital photo's developed.

Until then, I'll leave with another funny little quote from that Aries guy who had all the Revolution info earlier...

"Sony pulled the plug on the March PS3 unveiling becuase they weren't happy with the progress of their tech demos. What I find interesting about this is that it, in a way, proves how difficult the ps3 will be to develope for. If Sony themselves can't even manage to come up with decent tech demos then how will other developers fair in developing full games."

Yeah! This thread ruled last year, and I can't wait for this year's E3. It's gonna be so badass...man. Sweet.

Peanut · 04-27-2005, 07:06 PM

Woooo! I've been waiting for this thread since the one last year closed up. This is going to be such a great E3. Three new consoles, and numerous new games! Awesome!

*Kid Icarus* · 04-27-2005, 10:45 PM

w00t! And this year, we have someone that's actually THERE.

Keep us updated, TMB

Edit

New poll for fun. Vote and give your reason you believe "insert console maker here" is gonna win the battle. Here's mine.

Microsoft has the most concrete news coming, and Sony obviously got the processing power, but Nintendo has they mystery. They intentionally save their goods for E3 because it gives them a chance to have a big blowout while the industry is watching. No one knows kack sh*t about Revolution and thus everyone will want to see what Nintendo's got going. THey did this on purpose. It's their chance to steal the show or completely blow it. I believe they have a hell of a lot of stuff we don't see coming. THere's that rumor of a new Smash Bros for Revolution online with character customization and dustructable arenas, Super Mario Bros for DS, DS online,land of course the allmighty Zelda. Insiders are claiming Rev is more powerful that Xbox 360 Which is a damn good thing for Ninty. They've learned more this gen than any other, and they've learned humility. They know they've got to pull out the big ass guns and fire them all this May, and I believe they'll do it. Last year was a set up for this year, and this year is gonna be huge. Thus I think Nintendo will win.

Besides, Sony's having trouble getting tech demos working last MONTH. There're most likely gonna have very little to show on PS3 other than tech specs and PSP connectivity, and then some powerpoint demonstration on PSP's sales. Ninty and Microsoft will put on a show.

Jed · 04-28-2005, 03:17 AM

Heh heh, powerpoint presentation, that sounds like such a sly dig (little PSPs flying all over the screen).

I voted Nintendo. I don't think Xbox360 or PS3 will really show us anything new or ground breaking. Revolution and DS is where it's at. I can't wait for more concrete information about DS noline, and Revolution's such a mystery and so much has been speculated that it's got me really looking forward to it

Peanut · 04-28-2005, 08:31 AM

The poll is a hard choice for me. If Nintendo pulls something off that isn't a ridiculous gimmick, they have E3 in the bag. Especially with a Zelda showing, add in Mario 128 and some possibly huge Revolution games and no one can stand a chance.

愛 · 04-28-2005, 08:37 AM

This is Nintendo's finest hour. They have nothing but great things to show, including new ways to play your games. Microsoft and Sony aren't doing anything new, but they are substantially increasing the graphics and keeping the franchises we all know and love. I think everyone's going to do well this E3, but Nintendo has the most potential.

*DrSpengler* · 04-28-2005, 08:54 AM

I don't have the money/time to play as many video games as I used to, unfortunately.

But Nintendo's coming out with that new Zelda game and that's all I'm going to need to satisfy me.

I'll watch the E3 coverage on G4-Tech TV, though I'm not looking forward to 4 months of reruns of said coverage.

Sweeet... i loved this thread last year... can't wait for e3 this year... I have some friends going, so i'll try to post stuff they send me... awesome, I can't wait for e3... as for the poll... yes I was the only one to vote for microsoft... while I agree that nintendo has the most potential, I think Microsofts entertainment and online package is going to blow everybody else out of the water... they're trying to make an entertainment console... that you can do everything off of...DVD's, music, online, chat, play video games, everything... plus i'm a loyal halo fan... I have to cheer for microsoft

... the rumored Halo 2.5 coming with the new x-box also helped the vote....

I might have to buy IGN Insider membership again just to get live feed and videos faster

I really hope they will show Mario 128, and I really hope that it's still going to be on gamecube. The console deserves a Mario game that does justice to the series. Sunshine wasn't bad, but nothing impressive either.

*Duke* · 04-28-2005, 04:53 PM

I think Nintendo has all the potential to steal the show. Doesn't mean that they necessarily will but they do have all the potential to do so.

They will. The current leak is Mario 128 is guarnteed for Gamecube and will be there this year. It's confirmed to be the long lost Shiggy made Mario platformer we've all been craving this entire generation. Revolution is going to have a different Mario game that will use it's special abilities, but Mario 128 is for Gamecube. We're also going to get to see the New Super Mario Bros is near final form rather than last year's mock up version. I'm so craving that game.

**Karpo_007** · 04-30-2005, 06:05 PM

Thanks for the info, bookmarked the site.

Yeah, I have high expectations for Mario 128, word is it has been in production before they even started on Sunshine. And I'm also looking forward to the New Mario Bros. for the DS. Hopefully there will be some new info about the next Zelda as well

*XERO* · 04-30-2005, 06:46 PM

If the Zelda demo of last year's E3 made people cry, this year will make them practically kill themselves.

Nintendo all the way.

**Barkworm** · 04-30-2005, 09:59 PM

I'm excited beyond words about this E³. THREE new consoles and tons of games I want. Nintendo could rule the show. I wouldn't bet on it though.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-01-2005, 12:54 AM

Revolution has so much potential right now. There is so much it could do, but we just don't know and it's killing me every minute I have to wait. ARGH. Oh, and by the way....

Countdown to E3 - 16 days

*The Stryker* · 05-02-2005, 08:27 PM

I don't think Nintendo is going to rule the show, maybe the Revolution will shake things up a Bit but if it isn't totally "Revolutionary" then the show will be probably be divided among it and Microsoft.

Or Sony could suprise us Ya never know with that Wacky company.

Peanut · 05-02-2005, 09:08 PM

I really don't see what Sony could do to impress. Anyone want to tell me?

愛 · 05-02-2005, 09:10 PM
