JackFetch Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 E3 starts next week, so I figured I'd start a thread about it. Monday 10:30am PT Microsoft press conference Tuesday 9:00am PT Nintendo press conference Tuesday 11:30am PT Sony press conference All the press conferences will be shown on G4, and they promise no commercials this year. They can also be streamed on the web at various sites. Any guesses on what games will be announced? I say Kingdom Hearts 3, and a release date for Home.

Guest Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I guessing there's going to be a first person shooter involving a heavily armored bald space marine with an attitude. Also, a third person action adventure where the main character is an omnipotent fighting force looking to overthrow the evil corporation that created him.

James D. Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm guessing there will finally be a release date for Final Fantasy XIII and FF Versus XIII. A Kingdom Hearts III announcement would be nice, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I guessing there's going to be a first person shooter involving a heavily armored bald space marine with an attitude. Also, a third person action adventure where the main character is an omnipotent fighting force looking to overthrow the evil corporation that created him. No interest in Dead Space D.W? I know it's set in space and everything, but the trailers so far have been pretty cool and it looks like it has a few interesting gameplay ideas. Completing puzzles in zero gravity, an interesting interface (his health is displayed on a screen on his back, and the remaining bullets are shown on a display on the gun), you can't pause the game to heal/switch weapons and have to do everything in real time. It could still end up being average, but I think it has a lot of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 There are rumors going around that there will be a new Halo game by Bungie, without Master Chief in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Final Fantasy 13 is coming to the Xbox360! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Wait...is Versus XIII coming, too? Because frankly, I'm more excited for Versus XIII than XIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think they just announced FFXIII. I was reading Kotaku's live blog and haven't watched the conference yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 EA announced Sims 3 coming next year. Blah. The gameplay videos of Resident Evil 5 and Fallout 3 were fucking amazing. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168711 Star Ocean 4 looks amazing as well. http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_7763_en.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Man, waking up to see that FFXIII is going to be on 360 has made my morning much brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Also need to note that the Fall update will include optional game installs on the 360. That pretty much eliminates the disc swapping issue(unless you still have a 20 gb hard drive like me). It will also include 8 player chat, and Netflix streaming. You can stream movies with your friends and all be chatting together watching the same movie. All the fun of a party without all that annoying face to face contact.

JackFetch Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Wait...is Versus XIII coming, too? Because frankly, I'm more excited for Versus XIII than XIII. Shinji Hashimoto of Square Enix said at the publisher's press conference today that plans for Final Fantasy Versus XIII to ship as a PlayStation 3 exclusive haven't changed. Of course, we have no inkling about what exactly Square Enix's plans for the title have been from the get go, as the core entry, FF XIII, has long been touted as coming "only to PlayStation 3." http://kotaku.com/5025156/no-changes-on-fi...g-ps3-exclusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Nintendo announced Wii Music. You use the Wiimote to play over a hundred different instruments. The drums include balance board support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sony announced a game called MAG(massive action game), that is an online shooter with up to 256 players at once, broken down into squads of 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 My letdowns: Tomb Raider: Underworld coming November 18th - Looks just like the last one. Shooting at sharks under water? inFamous coming next year - They liked Crackdown so much they made their own version and stole almost every part of the game. Bionic Commando coming sometime - Boring The Sims 3 coming next year - They made it a soap opera that only girls will enjoy playing. Ghostbusters coming this winter - no multiplayer and looks boring. Seriously, how can you screw up a Ghostbusters game? Nintendo - Where are the real games? Animal Crossing looks like ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George W. Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Ghostbusters coming this winter - no multiplayer and looks boring. Seriously, how can you screw up a Ghostbusters game? AVGN Ghostbusters Part 1 AVGN Ghostbusters Part 2 AVGN Ghostbusters Part 3 And having played most of them, I'll be more shocked if they make a good Ghostbusters game.
