Starting June 15-17



This years E3 is almost upon us and it's about this time where we get excited about what all the upcoming announcements we may hear are. What are you guys wanting to see at this years E3? I have a fair-sized list of things:


Halo: Reach
Portal 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 3 (?)
Anything new Valve may have to offer
Bungie's next game (?)
Crackdown 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum II
Dead Rising 2
Dead Rising: Case Zero
Project Natal (Final release name announce maybe?)
New Uncharted?
Twisted Metal on PS3?
Anything Duke Nukem (I can dream...)
Gears of War 3
Something totally unexpected

In case you don't know when things are going to go down, here is a list of the schedule:

Monday June 14th

Microsoft: 1:30 PM EST / 10:30 AM PST

Electronic Arts: 5:00 PM EST / 2:00 PM PST

Ubisoft: 8:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM PST

Valve: TBA

Tuesday June 15th

Nintendo: 12:00 PM EST/ 9:00 AM PST

Sony: 3:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM PST

Microsoft’s Natal Event: 3:30 PM EST / 12:30 PM PST

That is the list Gametrailers has posted. I chose their list because theirs is the only one that had Microsoft's Natal event listed. Also, I added in Valve because they are having their own press conference this year (maybe they're announce something big), I'm just not sure what specific time on June 14th it will happen.

Anyways, post the things you want to see at E3 2010, or just speculate on what may be announced (Xbox 360 Slim... no, just, no).

[Higuy]

I'm pumped, ready for all the new stuff that they'll be showing..

[Limited]

:D Love E3, gonna be great this year.

I'm going! to not be there

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I could've gone this year if I was 17
:smith:

[Futzy]

Natal was leaked as being called Wave a few days ago.

[=sw=warlord]

There's the Duke nukem trilogy coming out for the Iphone if I remember right.
Play station 4 will likely be announced this year as well, It's been doing the rounds a lot lately because there's a fair bit of complaining about the cell.

[Spartan094]

Wouldn't you think they would show Dead Space 2? Or Fear 3? Since Dead Space 2 and Fear 3 both had a teaser trailer.

[DEElekgolo]

Modacity IRC will be have some activity.
Maybe.

[Hotrod]

I don't think Bungie will be showing off their new project until after Reach comes out.

[Inferno]

I want Portal 2 Gameplay footage.
I want Portal 2 Demo's.
Oh and I want new info on Bullet Storm. Being as it looks like a classic style shooter and it's going to be on PC, it has peaked my interest.

Everything else I could give a shit about.

[Higuy]

I want Mirrors Edge 2 :(

[Saggy]

Wouldn't you think they would show Dead Space 2? Or Fear 3? Since Dead Space 2 and Fear 3 both had a teaser trailer.
If you're referring to why they are not on my list, I 100% expect to see those games at E3 although there not ones I could - for lack of a better word - care about.


I don't think Bungie will be showing off their new project until after Reach comes out.
I don't really expect Bungie to show off their new project, but rather tease it. Maybe even some insight into what Bungie Aerospace is?


I want Portal 2 Gameplay footage.
I want Portal 2 Demo's.
Oh and I want new info on Bullet Storm. Being as it looks like a classic style shooter and it's going to be on PC, it has peaked my interest.

Everything else I could give a shit about.
Bulletstorm looks sick; definitely liking the whole arcade style it has going on. Not enough games are like that nowadays.


I want Mirrors Edge 2 :(
OMG, I almost forgot about Mirror's Edge. I guess it would be about time to officially announce a sequel, if they're still going through with making one.

Also, forgot to say in my list that I'm also looking forward to hearing some more on Crysis 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. What about you guys?

[Donut]

farcry 3, elder scrolls 5, lol.

but seriously, golden sun 3 for the ds, pikmin 3 (i really wish), new zelda title, etc...
for whatever reason i have high expectations for nintendo this year

[Warsaw]

I want Force Unleashed 2.

[Kornman00]

I don't think Bungie will be showing off their new project until after Reach comes out.
Yeah, I wouldn't even expect a teaser seeing as how the majority of their team is working on Reach plus they have a big studio move this year so I really don't see a need to fit that in their schedule. Let Reach have the last Bungie's Halo limelight then woo us in 2011


I want Force Unleashed 2.
dis ^

[Lateksi]

id's RAGE. BF3?

[Pooky]

I want a Force Unleashed 2 that's more similar to the older and superior Jedi Knight series, and doesn't break canon :downs:

[FireDragon04]

I'd imagine we'll see Portal 2, Force Unleashed 2, Reach, Crysis 2, Gears 3, Pokemon B&W (if not - then at TGS), Rage, Zelda Wii, Dead Space 2, Infamous 2 and Little Big Planet 2.
But i'm more sceptical about hearing anything of Bungie's next project (at all), HL2: EP3, Pikmin 3...etc

Overall though, i am really excited to see what all three major companies bring, especially Microsoft with Natal and if Nintendo have some more games for the hardcore audience (Metroid: Other M i assume).

Also, third parties will have some big things to show this year too with the Old Republic, Dead Space 2 and rumours are swelling of a Mirrors Edge 2 announcement, and all would come out of EA.
While a valve only event on 14th June, is extremely interesting as they could have quite alot of news to announce if they're doing it all solo. Gabe to talk?

I'll we watching live, and i am excited to see what E3 brings this year.

According to Geoff Keighley (http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/15202523642) the Valve press conference is no longer taking place. Portal 2 will still be shown at E3, however.

E: Taken from IGN:


Valve (http://games.ign.com/objects/026/026417.html) has apparently canceled its planned Portal 2 (http://pc.ign.com/objects/142/14237322.html) event during E3 for a new surprise.

An e-mail was sent out to gaming press today that announced the cancellation. Read the entire message below:


Dear Subject Name Here,

Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.

If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.

Thank you for [[RECORD SCRATCH!!!]]

PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.What could this be? Valve confirmed to us Portal 2 will still be shown at its booth during E3.

Any guesses?
Half-Life 2: Episode 3??????? Nah, most likely Left 4 Dead 3, amirite?

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

EP3

TF3: The Engineer Update

[BobtheGreatII]

Better freaking be Episode 3. I'll be pissed if it's not.

[n00b1n8R]

H3PC, Portal 2, those are the only some sequals I would jump at the chance to buy.

Or you know, some interesting new IP but then I'm just a bad troll so ignore me :woop:

[Hotrod]

I'm also hoping to see a good look at Warhammer 40K : Space Marine. That game looks friggen sweet.

[Warsaw]

I want a Force Unleashed 2 that's more similar to the older and superior Jedi Knight series, and doesn't break canon :downs:

Not caring about breaking canon so much with Star Wars, since it's already been broken so badly by the prequel trilogy. I want a Force Unleashed 2 that doesn't have retarded long stand-up times when you character gets knocked down. Also, being able to grab and use guns like in JK2 would be awesome, because having to close in on the target usually results in losing a lot of health in hairy fights.

[Siliconmaster]

Valve surprise? Might be a big Portal 2 thing. I'm going to assume that, because assuming anything about EP3 is futile. Until it actually happens.

[Dwood]

It's the cake that coja, teek, snaf, and you are going to be jumping out of in lieu of my birfday.

[neuro]

killzone 3 trailer will have a dropship flying around an oilrig on stormy seas.

surprise me valve

[Saggy]

id's RAGE. BF3?
You probably won't get any good info on Rage until Quakecon; that's not to say there won't be any at E3 though.

Also, I'm kind of hoping Valve announces a new IP. It wouldn't surprise me though if the announcement is some big feature for Portal 2 however.

[EX12693]

I expect Portal 2 to be a big thing... however, Valve is ever so clever with ways of announcing stuff...

[ODX]

I'm really looking forward to what Nintendo has in store.

'Cause you know, they actually make video games and not virtual reality simulators in the form of an FPS or third-person action shooter.

Seriously, is anyone else getting really bored of just seeing this?
Games these days are taking less and less talent in the animation and modeling/texturing department because it's all motion capture/based off of real life (so that would also be a 'fuck you' towards any creative minds as well).

Edit: Now of course I'm not entirely hating on the games, I suppose they bring about some new and interesting ideas and the fun factor is still pretty high, but do you get my overall point?

[Warsaw]

I do, but I'm a sucker for realistic CG rendered in real-time on my own PC. I like to forget that I'm playing a game...videogames are my drug. I do feel that the actual entertainment value of most big-name games is rapidly declining, but that's why we have devs like Valve and BioWare keeping it real.

[EX12693]

Drugs will be my drugs. But... even though I like the realistic CG, I'm more with ODX on this one. Not ALL video games should be realistic...

[Phopojijo]

So who thinks Valve will troll Onlive's launch?

[Warsaw]

Drugs will be my drugs. But... even though I like the realistic CG, I'm more with ODX on this one. Not ALL video games should be realistic...

Of course not. It just so happens that the types that I care about SHOULD be as realistic as possible. Notable exceptions for me are games like World of Goo and other quirky games.

Also, Phopojijo, why would Valve troll Onlive?

[Heathen]

Super Scribblenauts!

Just think, Adjectives!

So lets say you would normally use a balloon, rope, and elephant. Now you can just say "Flying Robot Elephant."

[Saggy]

Super Scribblenauts!

So lets say you would normally use a balloon, rope, and elephant. Now you can just say "Flying Robot Elephant."
Wait, so you'll be able to use more than one adjective when spawning something? Neat!

Also, just saw the trailer for Vanquish and it looks like it could be pretty cool. Hopefully there will be some more info on it come E3.

width=480 height=392

[Newbkilla]

Doom 4 anyone?

http://pc.ign.com/objects/142/14252444.html

[Spartan094]

They said they were gonna show Doom 4 at QuakeCon 2010, not E3. Around Aug 12-15. And I remember them saying they wont show anything about Doom 4 at E3, I could be wrong.

[Phopojijo]

Of course not. It just so happens that the types that I care about SHOULD be as realistic as possible. Notable exceptions for me are games like World of Goo and other quirky games.

Also, Phopojijo, why would Valve troll Onlive?Because OnLive has publicly talked shit about Steam a bunch. Every press conference badmouths Steam (once by name) because you need to download the game before you can start.

[Pooky]

Not caring about breaking canon so much with Star Wars, since it's already been broken so badly by the prequel trilogy.

While that's true from a plot standpoint, I was more concerned with the depiction of Jedi and the Force in general. They basically turned it from the original idea of a mysterious, invisible force that subtly influences every situation into kamehameha dragonball z bullshit. You could argue that the Jedi Knight series is guilty of this as well, but at least they did it tastefully.

[Saggy]

There's quite a bit of confidential information ... I feel excitement growing from within.

[Saggy]

There's quite a bit of confidential information ... I feel excitement growing from within.
As do I. I remember last year though, it was either IGN or GameSpot who had a "Confidential" listed on the last day of E3, and it was the only one to remain confidential the whole week. When it came time to demo the game it ended up being Sonic Unleashed and I was thoroughly disappointed.

[Warsaw]

RAGE on Thursday? Am very intrigued.

[sdavis117]

If there is enough demand for it I would be willing to stream the Spike TV coverage of E3, including the Media Briefings.

[Futzy]

please do it :)

HAWX 2? I played and beat the first one. Was not a fan of it really. :|

Why the FUCK would you ever even think about subjecting yourself to that shit!?

Every year there's been live, commercial-less, delay-less streams from IGN and Gamespot. This year Youtube is going to be streaming it, even.

xbox redesign leaked

[NullZero]

oh my god and cheese

wifi built in! epic

[Spartan094]

They finally added a built-in wi-fi, made it smaller, and gave it a new design which is ok. Wonder how much it will be and how good the wi-fi model is. Other then that if its priced good I might get it and it doesn't have all those shitty problems when the xbox 360 first came out.

[Timo]

Love it, E3 starts at 4:30am my time, at the start of exam week.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I can't wait for it to RROD
lol!

[Dwood]

Man, the new console they are going to release is going to have powerpoint, word, and excel capabilities! I am so excited.

Im so sad im going to miss this, I have to go on a mission trip with my church the whole week :saddowns:.

xbox redesign leaked

I'm actually a fan of the redesign, to me it just looks like the 360 but slightly slimmer and some vents put on the side. So for that ok, i'm not the biggest fan; however if they actually 'rejigger' some of the hardware allowing for quieter fans and stuff. Also they seem to have removed all the 'clunky' ports on the front of the console, which i like better. I'm looking forward to seeing it in more detail at the press conference later today.

Oh, and Kinect, again love it. I'm not a big fan of the games, but for me, if its not (REALLY) expensive, I'd use it just for the dashboard navigation, that stuff is so cool and simple.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Cost is 150$ for it.

[Limited]

The control or 'Natal'.

[Futzy]

The control or 'Natal'.
What?

Yes, except this is in HD

gears is looking much better, but it still doesnt look fun

[NullZero]

fable 3!!!!

[Futzy]

cryteks game will be interesting
reach is on now

[NullZero]

yeah,

oh look, halo tiem

[Futzy]

reach campaign is extremely fucking impressive
that looks like so much more fun than halo 3. Space battles yes yes yes

[NullZero]

buy it for single player, multi can go suck it

kinect here we go!

it blows

[Futzy]

justin bieber what

[NullZero]

skittles where are you?!

[Futzy]

adopt all 40 flavors of skittles

[sdavis117]

That Tiger thing demo might have been the most awkward and painful thing I have ever seen.

[Pooky]

Star Wars Unleashed 2 :D

Siiiiiick

Ugh, still looks completely ass. Jedi are NOT saiyans, force powers do NOT look like laser beams.

[NullZero]

why are they letting a woman drive?????????!!!!!!

[Futzy]

Im buying this

[Warsaw]

Ugh, still looks completely ass. Jedi are NOT saiyans, force powers do NOT look like laser beams.

They have to make pretty visual effects to not only keep people happy but to also tell you which direction your push is going. Honestly, it's not that bad. It's not like we're all of a sudden firing power beams from our palms, it's still a force push. As for lightning, well, not much you can do about that.

[Futzy]

i wish i was there, i want a new free xbox

[sdavis117]

I want to have the real E3 experience.

Someone send me a free Xbox.

Also I must say, if the Kinect sells for under $100, I might be tempted to buy it. Did they announce a price point?

[Saggy]

For anyone wondering, yes you can control the Sabre in Reach. EPIC SPACE BATTLES HELL YEAH!!

Watch the new Halo: Reach trailer on Bungie.net for conformation:
http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/default.aspx

[Limited]

Kinect kicks the wii's arse, but I feel it is just naff and the games will only be played a couple of times before it gets very old. Also who the hell wants the pictures taken in those kinect games to be uploaded to Facebook? Jeez.

Reach looks amazing, when they opened those hanger doors to that space shuttle, wow my jaw dropped.

Hoping EA have some good videos to show off later!

[Saggy]

I wonder when/if Valve will be showing of their E3, Portal 2 surprise...

[FireDragon04]

I really like the new xbox 360 actually:

Just gorgeous in my opinion.


My thoughts on M$ at E3 2010
The begining of their press conference was really good, loved the Halo: Reach Trailer (http://bit.ly/a1TKmU) and the Gears 3 gameplay.

The middle was lack luster... not over excited about Kinect.

The end was great though, loved the reveal... looked great.

All in all, not their best press briefing, but it could have been worse.

Lets see what EA and Ubisoft bring us later today, and Nintendo and Sony tomorrow.

[=sw=warlord]

Anyone know when Valves supposedly showing off their surprise?

[FireDragon04]

Anyone know when Valves supposedly showing off their surprise?

My guess would be at the EA press conference if ANYWHERE, as they are an EA Partner.

[NullZero]

I am pumped for tonight. I always like ubisoft games, and valves reveal should be good.

"Just a quick note to clarify the Monday Press Event at the Regal Theater is completely cancelled. Please do not head over there expecting to see us

"All the Valve E3 activities are being held in MR514 during the show. If you still need to make an appointment, just let me know.

[Saggy]

EA Conference is on NOW!!

http://e3.ign.com/2010/live/
http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/livefeed/ea

Please let there be Mirror's Edge 2!!!

[NullZero]

Medal of Honour looks good, because it looks like BF:BC2 and COD6 mix. Sounds sound awesome and video is beat, mixed with destructible terrain.

[sdavis117]

HYz7BxXUuJU

[DEElekgolo]

The part showing the cat skittles.

What the fuck.

[NullZero]

Crysis 2 gogogoggo

[NullZero]

oh jeez crysis in 3d

[Cagerrin]

so, Lucas should just hand full control of the SW franchise over to Bioware?

[SiriusTexra]

Massive gonk @ Old Republic speakers.

[Amit]

The Reach E3 trailer was like Halo meets Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Did you see that evasive in the fighter? Fucking crazy.

Oh yeah, and the fucking Xbox...I'm buying that. I knew that if I waited around long enough that they would eventually redesign the interior and exterior for better reliability. Also, the wifi and other features are too fucking great to pass up buying this system when I've never owned a single one yet.

[FireDragon04]

EA's press conference was fantastic, exceeded my expectations. Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm and SW:TOR are even higher on my 'must play life' if that's even possible. Great job EA!

Crysis 2 aswell looked awesome, but it was already pretty high on my list.

Not really bothered about EA Sports, the most sporting games i play are on the Wii, so 'nuff said.

Medal of Honor - no thanks.

NFS: HP looked cool for a racing game though.

[SiriusTexra]

Crysis 2? Valve?

[Saggy]

"You scared the dick off of me!"
Highlight of the EA conference.

Also, Crysis 2 seems pretty cool. The gameplay demo was running on the Xbox 360 and it looked great.

[Ifafudafi]

Bulletstorm looked awesome. I'm pretty much sold on it at this point

And if Crysis 2 looks that good on the console, I want to see what it's like on PC

[FireDragon04]

"You scared the dick off of me!"
Highlight of the EA conference.


Yeah, i also liked "...And I predict an imminent getting the fuck outa' here."

[ThePlague]

I actually liked Medal of Honor. If Dice is making the mp as good as Bad Company 2's, then it is a probable buy for me.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

If Dice is making the mp as good as Bad Company 2's, then it is a probable buy for me.

You might want to revise your choice. Even though Bad Company 2's gameplay is fun, there are a HUGE number of bugs or balance issues that need to be fixed. They stated over a month ago that a new update was coming out, but it hasn't. Why? Because EA's game testers in ROMANIA are being prevented to getting from work because of the transportation workers that are on strike. Jesus, get a car.

EDIT: Just saw the Hot Pursuit 2010 trailer. Do want. Air dropped spike strips? That's bloody brilliant. I hope they still have the bomb canisters from Hot Pursuit 2, though.

[NullZero]

I want the ghost recon and assassin's creed.

[ThePlague]

So much nostalgia when Rayman came up.

[Anton]

I want the ghost recon and assassin's creed.
This, completely. I've been wanting the new Ghost Recon title since it was announced.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

So much nostalgia from the new driver game.

[Saggy]

Guys, I'd keep an eye on 1UP.com if you want to (potentially) see a live demo of Portal 2...

[Jean-Luc]

So much nostalgia when Rayman came up.
This.

Also shitting brix over Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit being brought back.

[Dwood]

So I haven't been paying attention. Link me to youtube vids so I can get caught up.

[SiriusTexra]

Finally EA got the fucking picture on hot pursuit.

Also, High Stakes was the best NFS.

[Champ]

I hope there is some sort of deal for the new 360. I don't really want to go out and buy a new one when I already have one that works just fine.

[Siliconmaster]

So my thoughts on Reach:

Space Battles. Epic win.

And Ubisoft: VE HAF CREATED SUPER SPECIAL GERMAN LASER TAG!

Seriously. That press conference was bizarre. Had some cool stuff, like the new Assassin's Creed game, but then it was all loltrippymotioncontrol games. And laser tag. With a score counter.

[Timo]

That laser tag thing was retarded. I'm pretty sure one of my mates at primary school like ten years ago now had the exact same thing, it just didn't keep your score. How they can think it's new and exciting is beyond me.

[Siliconmaster]

My only explanation was that maybe because they're all foreign and stuff they somehow missed out on the '90s laser tag craze.

Or they're just desperate. :downs:

[DarkHalo003]

GoW3 reminds me of GoW1. Also, at the Lambent, OMGWTFBBQ? Did that thing just blow that guy up?!

I didn't like the Conference in general too much. I think it was better in past years, especially considering how fast it went. It was like Marcus Leto from Bungie walked on stage, said Halo Reach, then the trailer-demo, then Microsoft says "LETS MOVE ON TO SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT." I thought it'd be a bit more indepth than that. :/

[Sasc]

Yes I was surprised with that too, considering Halo is one of MS's biggest franchises. I think the conference would have been better if there wasn't so much Kinetic stuff. It got quite boring when they were showing that fitness game.

Another thing that surprised me was no mention of 3D gaming. I would have thought that they would jump on the bandwagon.

[sdavis117]

Speaking of 3D, I can't wait for Nintendo's Media Briefing. The rumors I've heard about this new handheld they are making have me excited.

[sdavis117]

I like the idea of this new Zelda game, but the execution seems a little buggy.

[Bossniak]

This new Zelda looks bad.

[Phopojijo]

The New Zelda looks nice IF their claims of wireless interference are true -- otherwise it looks REALLY hard frustrating.

[Ifafudafi]

I doubt Nintendo would try and demo (much less sell) one of their key franchises with such obviously broken controls. We should know once people start getting hands-on time.

But oh god another compendium of shitty Mario sports spinoffs, nobody cares about those

[sdavis117]

Actually the Mario Sports Games are the only games in the sports genre that I actually enjoy personally.

[FireDragon04]

The New Zelda looks nice IF their claims of wireless interference are true -- otherwise it looks REALLY hard frustrating.

The video reel/trailer at the end of the zelda part of the conference shows that the controls look amazing, and i can't wait to see some hand on's to be shown (such as on IGN).

Epic Mickey looks fantastic!

[sdavis117]

Donkey Kong Country fuck yeah!

[Phopojijo]

Well... damn... Nintendo might have the best press conference of all of E3 unless they royally epically do something to fail...

Now I gotta clean the coffee off my computer screen.

[sdavis117]

Just show me a demo of a game on the 3DS so if I can see if the graphics rumors are true.

[sdavis117]

Okay, I now want a 3DS.

[Sasc]

What the hell...

[sdavis117]

Nintendo has beaten Microsoft. Let's see how Sony does in about 100mins from now.

[Saggy]

Yeah so far so good, Let's see how sony play their cards now. Nintendo focused on games, and not gimmicks for 80% of their presser, and the 3DS stuff was interesting, unlike the poor display and overload of Kinect stuff yesterday.

[sdavis117]

This felt like the year of Microsoft trying to enter the casual market and of Nintendo trying to make it up to hardcore gamers with some classic game remakes/sequels. Let's see what direction Sony goes in.

[Llama Juice]

I'm expecting Sony to talk a lot about 3D display, and their motion controller.

Kid Icarus made me squee a bit.

The Zelda game made me facepalm... I'm assuming the interference thing is half true, and half normal Wii bullshit.

The Donkey Kong game... I dunno. It's pretty, but I don't like the art style.... I wish they would go back to more realistic graphics... not that it's like photo real... but not cartoony like it is here.

Also, I'm buying a 3DS.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I'm personally hoping for a hackable PSP2 with dual thumbsticks and Great Graphics.

:3

[STLRamsFan]

Nice to see that Donkey Kong Country is coming a comeback. Loved the older games so I'm curious to see how this one plays out. As for Zelda, I'll probably have to play it before getting an opinion because I did not like the Wii controls for Twilight Princess.

[paladin]

Looking forward for Old Republic, Reach, DK Country, Zelda, COD BO

[sdavis117]

I have a feeling that the Sony Briefing is going to be a repeat of Microsoft's Briefing.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I want psp2
>:(

[ODX]

I'm loving the nice blend of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for Skyward Sword, in terms of graphics. It's kind of cel-shaded and not as detailed texture-wise, but retains the more realistic proportions of Twilight Princess.

Fucking brilliant if I must say so, since there's the 'cartoony' loving Zelda fans and the more 'realistic' ones, and now they're both together.
Edit: I would just wish that you could still use a controller for the game instead of the Wiimote, but it seems some puzzles need the motion.

[Llama Juice]

I dislike Sony, but Kevin Butler just made me smile.

That was actually executed well, unlike nearly every other media joke that the other conferences have been trying.

[sdavis117]

GABE NEWELL

[ODX]

What the fuck is he doing with Sony whatktjsldafjkadsjflkajsdf


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh, OK, I guess it's kind of a good thing it's on PS3 now. Kind of wanted more than just a little teaser though :[

[arbiter901]

I stop watching it for afew minutes and look what happens
But yeah wtf just happened?

[ODX]

http://www.gametrailers.com/e3/livefeed/sony

Go to around the hour mark and watch it.

[Llama Juice]

dispensing surprise.

Other than Gabe and Kevin Butler the overall conference was rather boring.

It's still going?... is there any more stuff to show worth showing?... I'm like struggling to stay awake here.... fucking Sony...

[Saggy]

FUCK YES, TWISTED METAL!!! HOW LONG I'VE WAITED

[sdavis117]

Twisted Metal, fuck yeah.

I will say though, Nintendo still won.

[ODX]

Twisted Metal people are talking, showing Team Deathmatch now.

[Saggy]

I bet that's Gabe dressed like Sweet Tooth.

[ODX]

Nah, guy wasn't fat enough and I saw no aura of awesome around him.

[Saggy]

Nah, guy wasn't fat enough and I saw no aura of awesome around him.
True. True :P

Also, I'm not if I sure I heard Gabe right (Kotaku seems to confirm that I did), but Steam is coming to the PS3?

[Llama Juice]

^Steam Cloud, so... your saves and such?

Really? You guys actually care about Twisted Metal?

What was the last Twisted Metal game you bought and enjoyed?... Twisted Metal 2?... because all of the games since then kinda fell really flat IMO.... that's WHY there hasn't been a Twisted Metal game in forever, because the quality dropped to dismal levels and people stopped buying them.

I think it's funny how nostalgia can mask that.

Overall, Sony's conference was alright... the 3D and Move bits were the most interesting IMO, the rest seemed to be them responding to the PS3 HAS NO GAMES by pointing out every single game that's coming out on the platform.

[DEElekgolo]

fuck sony

[k4is3rxkh40s]

Twisted Metal, fuck yeah.

I will say though, Nintendo still won.

Pretty much this. There's very few things that make me want a PS3, and this year's E3 literally added nothing onto that plate.

Nintendo on the other hand, I really want a wii now

[Dwood]

Personally I wasn't impressed with Nintendo.

[ODX]

Obviously it was very disappointing/embarrassing during the Zelda demo with the controls not cooperating and not getting to see some things, but the rest was amazing.

I mean, I can actually tell what games are what! None of this 'based off of real life' bullshit where all the games just start to blend together and seeing any difference between them is impossible.

We are pleased to announce our new engine, Pourcal. It is an upgrade to the Source, just as source was an upgrade to goldsource.

Said that at E3 yesterday.

So yes, that portal 2 trailer they showed is ingame.


NEW SOURCE ENGINE. Name is pronounced "PORSAL". So it's like Portal with Source jammed into the middle of it. I guess they've broken the chain of unveiling new engines with new half life games....Still, i noticed fully dynamic lighting for a start.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Needed engine updates for Alyx Vance.

Gives a good sign for the Duke Nukem Forever rumours.

[SiriusTexra]

I'm guessing Ep 3 wont happen. They've been making it for so long, and it's supposed to be the wrap of the half life 2 story arc, they've probably gone "fuck, we've made this so long, and so much better looking, why don't we just make this Half Life 3 and make it even longer?".

I mean, the next half life game, after all the source improvements is going to look......far different to episode 2.

It also explains why Gabe would say "no its not episode 3 related". Because there is no longer an episode 3? Politically correct lulz? So maybe we will see Half Life footage or at least a frame after all. I mean, Gabe said he wouldn't be turning up at E3, but he did.


I don't think the PS3 steamworks was the surprise tbh.

[ODX]

I had thought perhaps they were delaying EP3 because now with Portal, some story measures in Half-Life didn't make any sense anymore and releasing the game with the story it had would fuck it all up. Redoing it wouldn't have worked because by that time they had Portal 2 in the works and it was probably just becoming mass chaos.

So now they unfortunately have to cancel EP3 and just make Half-Life 3 which has probably been in the works for a while now, and will release after Portal 2 and tie together the stories a bit more. Portal 2 is bound to hint at some more Half-Life shit as well, which would set up nicely for HL3.

Again, just my [uneducated] guess, so feel free to either agree with me or call me a faggot for thinking of something that to me, sounds pretty plausible.

If it's a Wii exclusive, that already disqualifies it in my books. A game has to be either PC or on one of the HD consoles to interest me.

[ODX]

^Wow, really? That's kind of pathetic, the Wii has great games. Although most are made by Nintendo and are just the same characters you've already come to know and love, the experience each time is completely different and stands out from the past titles the character has been in. You already know how to play the game right as you pick them up, but it's new and innovating.

Seriously dude, you are missing out big. ( Galaxy 2 <3 )

[Dwood]

It depends if the Goldeneye game is even good. It's going to take a lot to bring up Goldeneye because imho it was the multiplayer +maps + control scheme that made Goldeneye what it was. I'm waiting to see how well it does in those departments- I don't feel satisfied with new games any more. They're all just more of the same but prettier graphics.

Except I've never particularly enjoyed Nintendo games outside of F-Zero and the original side-scrolling Mario games. To me, Zelda is no better than any other hack-n-slasher and as such does not stand out from the crowd. The lack-luster visuals, however stylized (I'm not opposed to deliberate unrealism) certainly don't help. From my point of view, Nintendo is the laziest of the bunch, continuously rehashing the same exact games over and over again. Of course, I'd be a hypocrite if I said other games are better. Certainly, every shooter is essentially the same as well. Halo and Timeshift are practically the same thing right down to enemy types. Unreal Tournament and Team Fortress 2 are more alike than many will admit or even notice.

The same goes for RPGs. All the western ones have you making a choice between good or evil. They are all heavily machined so that you can predict the outcome before even finishing through the game. I can probably tell you which choices in Mass Effect 2 will have what consequence (i.e. how fucked-over will you be if you continue your ME2 save) in Mass Effect 3 before we even have any details as to what will happen in the latter. All the JRPGS have like-characters with like-backgrounds and thrust into similar situations. Most of them have a single outcome with zero control in the hands of the player-they are interactive movies. Now I know that there are only so many individual stories to tell before retelling the same ones with a new face, but it's like nobody even tries anymore, least of all Nintendo. How many times are you going to rescue the fucking princess? Metroid Prime has to be my favourite Nintendo series because the plot was actually interesting.

This is why my favourite genre is strategy games. There is still a decent amount of variance in the gameplay and the stories. I deplore all this streamlining going on in the RTS genre because it takes away from that diversity. Everyone is leaning towards the Company of Heroes-style game; even C&C4 plays more like that than a Command & Conquer game. I don't like Dawn of War II because it takes what was an awesome siege game where you had to balance your plans around your lack of defensive structures and your manufacturing capacity into a tactical game where you have what you have and you have to make do. Hell, strategy games aren't all in third-person top-down either. Just look at Battlezone, where you actually played as a commander, piloting your own tank and able to be killed. You had to defend your self as well as your resources all the while completing an objective.

Ugh, Nintendo. Don't get me started.

[/rant]

[Kornman00]

The Playstation 2 was my Vice City Box (then later my San-City Box) just as the Wii will soon become my GoldenWiiWii once GoldenEye comes out. And once I buy a Wii for myself instead of using my sister's.

Don't be so fast to shoot down a game (which isn't made by Nintendo), especially the remake of what is escentially the WW2-vet grandfather of all modern FPS games (fuck Doom, k.m.a.), just because it's for Wii only. Unless you consider yourself along the same lines as console fanboys.

Eurocom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocom) is developing it. They're the ones who made TWINE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Is_Not_Enough_%28video_game%29) for N64 which was hella awesome for a FPS N64 title (think GoldenEye but with AI bots)

A person who hasn't played all types of fps the two games are very much alike. For example, from a Korean standpoint Halo PC and other fps games are said to be "Counter-Strike games" because they only know Counter-Strike well enough.

Just watched a little bit of the Nintendo conference, interested in Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye, the Mario Sports game (not gonna lie, I actually have fun playing these for some reason), Epic Mickey, and Metroid. While Nintendo tends to do the same franchises over and over again, I usually have the most fun with them anyway.

[Pooky]

Metroid Prime has to be my favourite Nintendo series because the plot was actually interesting.

Except Metroid Prime wasn't made by Nintendo at all, it was developed by Texas based Retro Studios (and published by Nintendo).

That only proves my point then since Metroid Prime isn't Nintendo. Nintendo can't make games. End of story. I don't find putting dinosaurs or wannabe dinosaurs into games particularly awesome. I can't understand why most do. And the original Metroids were just side-scrollers like Mario anyways...with an infinite, non-bouncy, rapid-firing fireflower and 10x jump height...so no.

It's the play-style. It's pretty much all jumping around shooting wildly at anything that moves. Everybody whores the Flak cannon in UT, and everybody has a shotgun in Team Fortress. Spy and Medic are the only exceptions, which is why I generally play as the former.

E: Let me rephrase that: Nintendo can't make games anymore. They used to be able to in a bygone era, but not any more.

EE: Korn, my problem is not because the game is on the Wii so much as it is the Wii itself. It's a Gamecube with a waggle-stick. I can't justify dropping cash on a console for just one game or even two especially when you can tell that the console is barely more advanced than its predecessor. Outside of the new Goldeneye and Metroid Prime 3, there is literally nothing on the Wii that I find remotely interesting that doesn't have a better version on a better platform.

Congratulations, you have no taste. At all.

And you apparently don't even bother to play games before you critique them, or you'd know that shotgun is the primary weapon of only one class, and even then it's weak compared to other class's primary weapons.


edit: also, metroid other m doesn't look nearly as good as the prime series or the side-scrollers. I don't know why they don't just put a Fusion sequel on the 3DS, we've been waiting for almost a decade now.

Yeah, there haven't been many games I've seen that are Wii specific that really hooked my interest...but then again, I haven't paid anything other than the 360 my attention for the past 4 years. However, Nintendo has always seemed to have a different mentality (which then trickles down and affects the game developers plus their games for those platforms) when it comes to games and consoles\handhelds so it's like arguing which is better: Halo or CoD. In the end, they're completely different games besides the fact that they're FPS just as a Wii vs PS3/360 are completely different besides the fact that they are game consoles.

It's the same innovation just with different imitations (http://www.achronos.net/2009/04/innovation-without-imitation-is-waste.html).


Back to Eurocom though. I fucking hope they 1) Do GE007 right and if so 2) Remake TWINE next :iamafag:.

[Ifafudafi]

And the original Metroids were just side-scrollers like Mario anyways...with an infinite, non-bouncy, rapid-firing fireflower and 10x jump height

Really, as a massive Metroid fan, Other M makes me cringe. I don't doubt they can get the exploration/platforming down, but turning the story into a shitty TV anime is dumb. Fusion was tolerable at least, being mostly just text bridging areas and all. It'll be fun but I hope they have a way to skip cutscenes.

And yeah Goldeneye better be awesome. Seeing how far multiplayer has evolved, I'm not sure it'll hold the same impact as the original, but that's not saying it can't still be good (the Perfect Dark port on 360 was kinda neat)

[ODX]

Outside of the new Goldeneye and Metroid Prime 3, there is literally nothing on the Wii that I find remotely interesting that doesn't have a better version on a better platform.You better just be forgetting Mario Galaxy 2, because if that somehow doesn't peak your interest then you are the most bitchy and tasteless gamer I've ever seen.

The innovation is mind-boggling to say the least, the best the industry has seen in a long long time, and you can't find it anywhere else...at least to my knowledge.

And you apparently don't even bother to play games before you critique them, or you'd know that shotgun is the primary weapon of only one class, and even then it's weak compared to other class's primary weapons.

edit: also, metroid other m doesn't look nearly as good as the prime series or the side-scrollers. I don't know why they don't just put a Fusion sequel on the 3DS, we've been waiting for almost a decade now.

And that's why I have every UT and both TFC and TF2 and have played all of them...:downs:. It's mad, wild shooting, and to me it feels like UT with a class system overlaid. And no, the secondary shotgun is not pathetic in TF2, you just aren't using it properly. Again, I'll tell you to learn how to play because you obviously aren't doing it right if you think the Scout's shotgun is the only one worth merit.

@ODX: because I don't like playing a game where the objective is essentially to collect stars, that makes me tasteless? Galaxy has merit as a puzzle game, but there are other puzzle games where I'm more stimulated, such as Portal or World of Goo (where the objective is equally simple, but the means much more complex than in Galaxy).

Jesus fuck guys, all I said was that I didn't particularly like the Wii and Nintendo games and you force me into a corner to defend myself as if I'd just claimed that the world is a lie and everything you know is false. So I prefer more realistic games (sims, if you will) with more intriguing stories and thought-provoking gameplay mechanics to over-stylized hack-n-slash/platforming games with terrible production value on terrible hardware, I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like I lambasted any of you for playing and liking those games, so way to blow it out of proportion. Get a fucking grip and stop getting all butthurt because I don't like Nintendo games. I didn't grow up with Nintendo, so it has no intrinsic value to me.

Again, I'll tell you to learn how to play because you obviously aren't doing it right if you think the Scout's shotgun is the only one worth merit.

I was talking about the engineer, and again, if you had played TF2 you would know the Scout uses a Scattergun which is quite a bit more powerful than the shotguns. If you had played it, you would know that in almost all cases the alternative to a shotgun is preferable to it (the only exception being the soldier, because of the low capacity of his rocket launcher - and even then the Buff Banner and Gunboats are excellent in the right hands).


And it's not as if we are the only ones who enjoy Nintendo games, or that you need to "grow up with Nintendo" to enjoy them - my first console was the Sega Genesis, and I still think Nintendo is among the elite of game developers, along with Valve, BioWare, etc.

Footage of the MGS3D demo on the 3DS. Graphics look great on it.

[STLRamsFan]

I'm not gonna lie, that does look pretty neat. While I doubt I'll buy it just yet because I tend to hold off on buying hand-helds until their library starts getting bigger since I like to have a lot of different options to choice from. That's kind of why I still like playing my gameboy but then again I grow up with Nintendo so I'm a little bit bias.

I thought it was CoD when i saw it. Which means its bad.

[iizahsum]

I thought it was CoD when i saw it. Which means its bad.

It looks like their taking everything that was great about CoD4 and throwing away everything that sucked about MW2, so it looks like a win in my opinion. Im pre-ordering it off steam soon.

[NullZero]

I thought it was CoD when i saw it. Which means its bad.
Tbh, MoH is what COD6 should have been.

COD7 will either be COD6 but in new setting, or it will go in a different direction gameplay-wise. The first is more likely, and therefore won't compete with MoH.

But y'know, marketing, COD name is already known to quite a lot of people out there, so it won't be able to reflect in the sales.

How do they do that?

[ODX]

New Medal of Honor to me just looks like Call of Duty gameplay with BC2's feel in terms of animations and movement so I won't get it.
Black Ops looks like it'll just be MW2 in a new setting, so I won't be picking that up either. (Mainly I'm frustrated at the terrible animations also, which some are terrible copies of MW2 with stylistic intent)

Also, where's Far Cry 3 :[

Goldeneye Wii isn't a remake anymore, take a look at the multiplayer (http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/e310-golden-eye-007-wii-multiplaye/345834?playlist=featured)...

Tell me, does that look like the fun you used to have on N64? Sure as fuck doesn't to me, gameplay looks completely different.

soon I will be playing and I'll make a 720p youtube video of gameplay.
I'm hoping this game will be fun.

The remake of Goldeneye is awful, they havent captured the true essence of what my the original so much fun.

[ODX]

I want my karate wars back :[

And they better have proximity mines in full working condition and about the same they were in the original or else I'll be pissed.

[Inferno]

Pyong is a terrible person.

MOH is a exact and near perfect copy of Modern Warfare 2. Everything from the HUD to the gameplay to the fucking scoring system is identical. I can't imagine how much money they are going to make off such a blatant franchise cash in.

:saddowns:

[Dwood]

At least they will have a server browser, dedicated servers, and everything else MW2 left out.

[Kornman00]

:saddowns:DICE is making it though, not IW. To me though it just looks like MW2-type gameplay with BC2 animations and some other features from the game we have yet to see but can guarantee you, we will see. What they are I dunno exactly, obviously, because I haven't played it and won't judge :downs:

[Amit]

Quite honestly, from the various videos I have seen of the beta, the multiplayer of Medal of Honor looks like an add-on to Bad Company 2. And the graphics don't look that great either. Seems a little bland to me and flat.

Why does that say SVD Battle Rifle. The Dragunov SVD is not a Battle Rifle. That's wrong and it severely irritates me.

[CN3089]

Rossmum stop using teekup's account thanks in advance

[ODX]

Wow, that looks almost exactly like BC2 except with CoD gameplay.
Only real difference from CoD gameplay is obviously, level design and the fact that there seems to be virtually no recoil in ironsights.

[Lateksi]

Lol at the constant getting stuck.

[Futzy]

rage looks fantastic

[SiriusTexra]

Rage does look fantastic.

I lol'd at when the guy asked the fella from iD, "wasn't there a mac version"

Hes like......"uh yeah, but.....its going to be a little more complicated to make it work. IT will happen, just not straight away..."


That's saying alot coming from a fucking code team who is spearheaded by a guy who invented fps, and is a fucking rocket scientist in his spare time.

Macbooks cant even run portal at 40fps. What the fuck chance have they got at rage.

Then again, the game is running at 60fps on a fucking suckbox. This makes me very happy for the PC version. It'll probably even out anyway since the textures will be pretty much uncompressed.





Also,


Gabe Newell: Portal 2 is "The Best Game We've Ever Done"




JIZZ. EVERYWHERE.

[CN3089]

let's be fair, the source games haven't really been optimized yet for openGL

[SiriusTexra]

Yeah, but, isnt Rage on OpenGL anyway? I don't really know anything about Tech 5. I doubt they'd have switched to direct x. I mean, if the OpenGL masters are having a bit of a drawback getting the mac to be as nice as the others. Well, obviously macs were never really pushed to play games or anything but...I don't know where I'm going with this. Something something.

It's not that much since their philosophy is to use as little third-party software as possible because eventually idTech5 will become open source. So pretty much all game systems have to be developed in-house. They can't use Havok or PhysX (tho Bullet may be an option). They can't use animation tools like Euphoria. They wouldn't be able to use UI middleware like Scaleform. All of those components and more would have to be in-house. Plus they have to create all the tools to support such technology. Then guess what? They have to make it work and optimize it for the Xbox, Playstation, PC and Mac. Four platforms. An engine done almost entirely in-house. Along with tools. By a studio with only a 115 people (who are not all programmers obviously).

Good Mac AND OpenGL game programmers are harder to come by in an industry mostly dominated by PC\360 (which use DirectX) and PS3 (uses OpenGL ES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES), but developing for a console, especially the PS3, is not the same as a PC, let alone Mac). Why you would want to compare the FPS speed of a game on a MacBook, I have no idea. It'd be like trying to act like a Dell Laptop should fucking rip ass on everything and your mama. A real game machine would either be a (custom built) desktop. Not some factory made laptop.

Listen to what John had to say (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/53976) about RAGE on the "suckbox" as you like to call it.

I don't recall seeing this mentioned in the thread so: E3 2010: Saints Row 3 skips E3 to 'rebuild tech' (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=252042). Full reveal coming at Spike TV awards in December, THQ reveals.

also, what :ugh: -


Bilson went on to reveal "the most robust transmedia play on any game ever done," including plans to release a Saints Row movie (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=251960).

"We're also going to have a collectible card game, we're going to have books, we're going to have mechandise - we're going to build this thing out into the biggest transmedia blowout ever seen," he said at the meeting.

"Most of these deals are already in place. I believe we're going to announce this at the Spike awards in December.

"It's really, really exciting what's going on with Saint's Row and when we launch this it's really going to turn heads to what we've done with this brand," he said. "Saints Row is going to be a monster for us."

I think Halo already beat them to that bat :s

[Amit]

I think they are setting themselves up for one of the biggest fails ever.

[Futzy]

saints row is a good game?

[Kornman00]

If it has a "2" in it

[Phopojijo]

Saint's Row 1 was fun... I enjoyed it... glitchy as hell though.

Like... gamebreakingly glitchy... like things don't spawn where they should making missions literally impossible -- so you replay it a few times -- the last glitch doesn't happen but another one does also making the mission impossible in a completely different way... lock ups... etc.

[Lateksi]

A Saints Row movie wouldn't be an extreme failure as it's pretty much about the same mediocre shit teenagers seem to get excited about today.

But. SAINTS ROW TRADING CARD GAME. Fucking awesome.
