E3 2009

[Ion Kenshin]

Damn worl blocking web pages. I can't get on to any site with E3 coverage.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I'll be watching MS and Nintendo's conference per Kotaku, as it's the only gaming site I can get to at work.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

I´ll watching it live, either on Gametrailers or Gamespot

 

[Rocker22]

G4 will show it live right?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yep, they will.

 

[Dark Helmet]

When is & where can we watch the Microsoft & Sony Conference

 

[Tron Bonne]

MS conference is 10:30am PST time today and Sony's is 11:00am PST on Tuesday

 

[Brainiac 8]

We were throwing out predictions for the conferences over on the PA forums...so I decided to pull mine over here for fun.


Microsoft:
*They'll have a Rock Band: Beatles demo blowout (even though I agree that Nintendo should snag it).
*They'll show their motion control technology, which will be branded a me too add on and will be ignored by developers.
*They'll come out with a major third party announcement that was thought to be PS3 exclusive. (Maybe FFXIII Verses or MGS4)
*They'll showcase the new Halo to the pant wetting of fratboys everywhere. (sorry couldn't resist)

Sony:
*They'll showcase their motion control technology, which will be branded a me too add on and will be ingored by developers.
*They show off their PSP Go along with the linup of games already announced for the PSP, namely LBP and Assassin Creed.
*They'll unveil another God of War for PSP, as well as finally date Gran Turismo Mobile....which will still not meet it's release date.
*They'll showcase Duke Nukem Forever, not getting the memo that it's been cancelled. Much embarrassment will ensue.

Nintendo:
*They'll spend the first bit bragging up their sales records, fastest to 50 mill on a console confirmed.
*They'll talk alot about WiiMotion+ and WiiSports Resort.
*They'll showcase trailers to some of their major core games, namely Sin & Punishment 2 and the Metroid Prime Trilogy.
*They'll showcase some of their major third party support, namely Tetsonuko vs. Capcom and Monster Hunter 3.
*They'll finally unviel some of their new games coming out like Pikmin 3, Legend of Zelda: Wii Love Swords, and New Super Mario Bros. 2: The Return of Wart! (I really want Super Mario Galaxy 2, but it's probably to early.)

These are my predictions.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nintendo should snag what? The RB: Beatles game?

Ah I see, the last one in each section is meant as a joke.

 

[Dark Helmet]

I hope we see a trailer for TMNT TURTLES IN TIME DAMN IT

 

[Brainiac 8]

Nintendo should snag what? The RB: Beatles game?

No, Nintendo should snag it as one of the major showcases of their conference, since Rock Band: Beatles will be a monster force seller for their system. It would be a great game as a centerpiece.

Ah I see, the last one in each section is meant as a joke.

Yes, the last ones for each was a joke.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ah, okay. I was wondering 'cause I thought the Beatles game was going to be on pretty much every platform already.

I don't think Nintendo needs the Beatles' push for their system, to be honest. And, really, I bet the game's gonna sell really well on every system.

I hope we see a trailer for TMNT TURTLES IN TIME DAMN IT

You and me both, my friend. I played the first TMNT arcade game on XBLA while I was waiting for a download to finish last night and, although it's still ungodly hard with just one person, I loved it.

 

[Dark Helmet]

I played TMNT TURTLES IN TIME so much back in the day on the SNES. I want this more then MVC2. But I will buy both

 

[Brainiac 8]

Corp I saw you on last night, and if it wasn't for the fact that I had to get off the system, I was going to send you an invite to play TMNT.

I want to get my 250 point achievement.

Crytek isn't waiting around for the next wave of consoles to hit before melting eyeballs in the living room. In fact, publisher Electronic Arts announced that the German developer is already prepping a follow up to Crysis, this time for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as the PC.

Creatively titled Crysis 2, the title is the first built using the studio's new console-ready middleware, CryENGINE 3. Nothing else is known, though with E3 kicking off this week we've opened up a new box of tissues just in case we hear more.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Another game dumbed down.
Thanks pirates.

 

[Tron Bonne]

It'll be dumbed down?

 

[Brainiac 8]

Because it needed Nasa's computers to run the original game...PS3 and 360 are nowhere near the power of the Nasa computer, so it'll be dumbed down.

 

[Fading]

Bah, will just have to catch it later, something came up and just got back. Miss anything important on MS show? I'll just watch a Youtube version when it pops up.

 

[Electro UK]

Man I'm so pumped now. I wish the MS conference would get a rolling! I want to see games damnit.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Bah, will just have to catch it later, something came up and just got back. Miss anything important on MS show? I'll just watch a Youtube version when it pops up.

It's not started yet. It starts in about 15-20 minutes on G4

Haha, I saw you come on too but I was in the middle of kicking the AI's ass, hover-style, in Burnout: Paradise.

 

[Electro UK]

kez is essentially right, but I'm sure the PC version will live up to its predecessor.

 

[Fading]

It's not started yet. It starts in about 15-20 minutes on G4

Ah, thought it started at 10:30. Awesome, thnx.
