E3 2007

[Zeph]

For those of you who dont know, E3 2007 is this week. Closed to the public this year, there's little info out at the moment. No surprise as developers dont have to have booths out to show all the press. Tonight, July 10, Microsoft will be having its annual E3 press conference. Tomorrow, July 11, Sony and Nintendo will have theirs. For details and live feeds of the conferences, visit http://e3.gamespot.com/live.html or navigate from the base gamespot.com domain.

I would have been there this year had they not locked it up to the devs only. I hope to see some pretty Halo 3 video along with some word on new Wii titles. I dont expect anything out of Sony. They seem to have put all their cards on the table already. Honestly, I dont expect anything other than them saying how awesome the PS3 is doing

As long as we all get to see content, its no different to me seeing as its in USA and I am in UK :O

Also zeph couldnt you have moved one of the other topics instead of locked? :D

[SMASH]

I'm watching the Microsoft Press Conference tonight. I have a feeling it's going to be both boring and exciting. I just wish I could record it to the computer for all you guys.

Wait, do you have to be a member to watch stuff???

Also, was it really a year since the last E3? Seems like yesterday...

[SMASH]

I'm watching it on G4... lol, I almost called it G3...

though, if I see something cool, I'll take a pic with my cell phone and upload it quickly for you all.

[Zeph]

I'm watching the pre-show coverage on tech tv right now. I'm actually content with it this year. It's nice coverage instead of the forceful debate and baseless yelling from last year.

Yea, I came in on that game where the guy was shooting from the ground...

GUITAR HERO 3!!!! HELL YEA!!!

[Hotrod]

I don't really want them to show some Halo 3 Campaign footage, it would kind of ruin the surprise of the story line. I can't wait to see Halo Wars in-game seeing as it's been announced for about a year now (or half a year). I hoping to see good DS titles announced and sequels to some good games.

I had G4 a few months ago, but I think that my parents got rid of it... looks like I'll have to wait until tommorow to see what there is.

[Kornman00]

And just why did they put it on lock down?

[Atty]

Money, iirc.

[Hotrod]

And just why did they put it on lock down?

Who knows...

[Zeph]

And just why did they put it on lock down?

Erm, because of huge crowds making it unrealistic. I mean, why should you have to wait hours just to get to a TV set or a controller?

[Zeph]

The stream from Gamespot is Live now. Looks like it is currently showing the projection screen at the back of the stage right now. TechTV/G4 is supposed to have live coverage, but I wouldn't put it past them to put commercials in the middle, so I'm watching the internet feed and having the TV up as a backup.

edit: the video feed on G4 is a good minute ahead of the internet stream

[SMASH]

This band is lame... get on with the show...

[Zeph]

hah, so that's what they meant by peter moore playing an instrument

edit;oh god, they're trying to bring japan suicide/kareoke booths to american living rooms

[SMASH]

Yea, I love rock band, but I didn't like that song... I play bass and sing vocals (in a real band), so this game is totally hyping me up. Same with Guitar Hero 3. I saw some of the songs on there and they looked like they have a great line up.

[Zeph]

I turned off G4. They went to a commercial in the middle of mass effect's trailer.

[ExAm]

Damn Mac I'm on right now can't play those particular MPEG streams.

[Limited]

That guy just got nailed in madden :D

[SMASH]

ORIGINAL SONIC AND GOLDEN AXE ON XBL ARCADE FTW!!!!

[Masterz1337]

Marathon on XBL?! Rock on.

[IPBJT!]

for a second i thought they were revealing Peter Jackson's halo project. Oh well.

[Rentafence]

ORIGINAL SONIC AND GOLDEN AXE ON XBL ARCADE FTW!!!!

OMFG YES WE GOT SONIKKU :lol:

[Limited]

ORIGINAL SONIC AND GOLDEN AXE ON XBL ARCADE FTW!!!!Lol did you hear the dude on stage

"Some guy just cheered for golden axe, i heard him"

:P
GOW :D GAME EDITOR????

[IPBJT!]

brumak battle :O

[Masterz1337]

GOW for XP and Vista. Now thats interesting.

[Masterz1337]

HAHAHAH Vista game friendly.

[Zeph]

yeah, I'd like to know why H2V is limited to Vista now.

[Warsaw]

It's purely a money grab. Microsoft figured that people would shell out tons of money for the new operating system just so they could play the game. I don't know if they were right on that gamble. It seems to have mixed results so far.

[SMASH]

LOL! The Call Of Duty website gave me this:

Isn't this almost over? WTF IS HALO 3!

[Rentafence]

Yeah, I got that too. D:

[Rentafence]

OH SHIT HALO 3 MOVIE TYPE THING =O

[IPBJT!]

HOLY SHIT. NEW HALO 3 TRAILER

[Metroid4593]

IT WENT TO FUCKING COMMERCIAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALO 3 TRAILER. WTF

[SMASH]

Yea, I ran over to the comp really quickly to finish it up. Nice eye candy, but nothing really exciting...

[Limited]

MC armor looked like halo 2 armor in the campaign video wtf....

impressive stuff though

[Archon23]

Goddamn it Gamespot....I heard the whole Halo thing on the player but no picture =(

[Metkil5685]

I think I just shit myself. It's almost 1 and I'm tired, but it was worth it. I will talk tomorrow about it. When is Sept 25 coming?

6am here, time for some breakfast!

[Dole]

I wonder what character was narrating the Halo 3 trailer.

And I was under the impression that we were going to get a look at Halo Wars and Peter Jackson's project...

An Elite with an accent?

[Warsaw]

Okay, I am definitely buying the Halo-themed XBOX360, since I already have the Halo-themed XBOX. I want to keep up the trend :cool:.

I wanna know whether it will have that new chip that microsoft is updating soon.

[IPBJT!]

Probably a prophet imo.

[Warsaw]

Most likely yes.

[Metroid4593]

Oh sweet, anybody else watching live nintendo E3 feed? Mario Kart looks awesome. And Wii Fit looks pretty cool too.

[Apoc4lypse]

I might depending on when i buy a 360 and if its out and how much it costs...

that trailer was sick tho, so was the arms race one.

[Warsaw]

The Arms Race was too reminiscent of Starship Troopers in my opinion. The best part was in the beginning with the UNSC vessels hovering over the harbor.

[TeeKup]

An Elite with an accent?

The voice was threatening the earth, the elites have formed a loose alliance with humanity to why would it be an elite? I'm guessing a brute chieftan or a prophet.

[Zeph]

[Con]

[klange]

For the hour or so that the MS showcase was on, Microsoft lost a little hate from me.

[Stormwing]

the microsoft show made me decide that I am SOOOO getting myself a 360 now. Console wars my ass.

then i looked at some of the games for ps3. :cry:
Gran Turismo 5 is fucking PHOTOREALISTIC, and LittleBigWorld seems mind-blowingly awesome. Lair's scale is also really damn impressive.

In the end, I think Halo 3's still gonna make all the difference, and i'll get a 360 before the 25th. :p

[MNC]

I only saw the Nintendo Conference.

Metroid Prime 3 new info
Smash Bros Brawl dated: 3rd December for NA
Mario Kart Wii announced
Mario Galaxy new footage and dated, somewhere November, I forgot.

All in all pretty boring stuff.

Flashy console and insane graphics on a game that has everything plotted out for you and you can't do things the game didn't anticipate. Not something to really be impressed about. The only good games for the PS3 are, in my opinion, Unreal Championship 3 (which has just gone PS3 exclusive) and Killzone 2.

[Stormwing]

Well, sorry, but i've been a fan of the GT series all the way through. Sure, it's linear, but I like it that way. It's just a sim, not NFS: Underground 3.

That said, I love free and open ended games like Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed, and creative ones like LittleBigPlanet. :p
But i'm not interested in Killzone 2 whatsoever.

[jngrow]

well, unreal champ 3 might be exclusive for ps3, but who cares if ut2k7 is for 360 (as far as i know). In terms of scale, just play halo 3 XD. GT has always had amazing gfx, because it has so little going on on screen. but yeah, nintendo is pretty much just carried by its fanboys. By the end of next year, it will only have 5 GOOD games.

[Skiiran]

Unreal Tournament 2007 = Unreal Tournament 3.

The more you know.:awesome:

Also, Killzone 2 IS GODLY. If that's out buy next year, and I mean this, I'd be willing to save up for a PS3. That's how Godly.

I just wish they would fix the damn sound in the trailer.

You are kidding me right? Killzone one was a MASSIVE failure and Killzone 2 will probably be crap as well.

[Zeph]

I dont know Digi, it's looking like they learned from their mistakes.

[Digikid]

is that even possible? After all this is Sony...worst company ever.....

[ExAm]

No, EA is the worst company ever. Read up on them sometime. I think you'll agree.

[Skiiran]

You are kidding me right? Killzone one was a MASSIVE failure and Killzone 2 will probably be crap as well.
But you're going to fight GIANTS WITH MACHINE GUNS IN GAS STATIONS. It's like 300 meets World War 2 in the future! The lighting is also pretty amazing, if you ask me.

Giants with machine guns in gas stations? Anyone else thinking of GOW right now?

[itszutak]

Me.:eyesroll:

[DaneO'Roo]

Killzone 2 trailer did nothing for me. It just looks like Gears. Plus it's got that trademark PS3 washed out colour.
