He's been alone for too long.

Master Chief likes to watch game journos pee...

Spoiler

I can imagine the scene now.

Microsoft Marketing Exec: *Yawn* what a beautiful morning. Can't wait for my company to advertise all of its lovely products at E3 later.

*ring ring*

Dom Matrick (on phone): Hello Microsoft Marketing Exec! Did you remember to book that massive poster for Halo 4 on the side of that big building at E3?

MME: OH ****.

*Rings E3*

MME: Hello, E3? What advertising space do you have left? Nothing? What about the bathroom mirrors. Give me the ****ing bathroom mirrors. PLEASE.

All I want out of the Nintendo conference is a 3DS redesign and some new 3DS game reveals, I definitely would like to get a 3DS at some point soon. The Wii U hasn't ever piqued my interest.

You might be out of luck. Iwata said at the Pre E3 conference, "We will continue to focus our attention on Wii U, but don't worry, we also have plenty of news about Nintendo 3DS to deliver during other upcoming opportunities."

Some games will probably be featured at some of the 3rd Party E3 conferences and they might wait for TGS for a redesign (guessing).

 

[Iceman]

Bathroom mirrors looks pretty effective to me!

 

[Wolfwood]

I dunno, all of a sudden I'm kind of liking the Wii U. Maybe I'm succumbing to the Nintendo hype train or something.

 

[jacobed]

If it releases with just one amazing first party game and some sort of achievement system I will buy it day one.

 

[KALEL114]

I'm not sold yet. I'm curious about the specs and price really. Tired of all the speculation and rumors. At least we should get the spec answer Tuesday.

 

[Soapy]

The only thing I'm interested in regarding the Wii U is playing Nintendo games in HD, and that's exactly what it delivers, so I'm set.

 

[KALEL114]

And that's the problem for me. I haven't had that "must have" feeling for those games in a long time, so it will need to blow my socks off. If it hits the right spots, I'll jump on it and reacquaint myself with Mario and Zelda.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I'm excited for their (probably) long list of already released games that they are hyping as launch titles. Arkham City, anyone?

 

[munchie64]

Non specific action figure has won E3.

 

[Superhero 101]

SO Excited for toomorrow!! I will be able to catch the the Microsoft Conference toomorrow only though

 

[Wolfwood]

That action figure should be a pre-order bonus for the Wii U

 

[Soapy]

I love Non Specific Action Figure.

I think he should be in Smash Bros. 4!

Microsoft will unveil a new 3D system for the Xbox 360. It will work with *any* (2D) display screen. A small USB device is used to sync with the active 3D glasses (these look angular with sharp corners, not your standard 3D TV glasses). A lot of games will be supported from launch.

People are already coming up with move sets for him

I would hope that the 1st at least is guaranteed. The 2nd would be a big and very overdue bonus.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I will never understand achievement systems. They are like the most pointless ****ing things about video games today.

They add replay value for those who want it. I personally don't care for them, but they're not doing anything negative to gaming unlike some other recent trends.

Cool. Don't know how long I'd want to wear the glasses for. I do know I'll be looking like a complete idiot shouting at the screen with my oversized headset and mic and wearing 3d glasses!

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I like achievements in a totally just for fun sort of way, I like getting to a chapter and an achievement popping off and making the noise. I know its totally the developer just patting me on the head but I get a kick out of it all the same.

 

[Iceman]

I will never understand achievement systems. They are like the most pointless ****ing things about video games today.

They are pointless to anyone who doesn't get value from them or enjoy the process of obtaining them or appreciate having a cumulative gaming record over years of their life. Same as playing video games itself seems pointless to many of those who don't play them. I had someone say the other day...'Why would you even play a game? What's the point? I just don't understand why you do it'.. and I've heard the same about reading comics and watching superhero films.

 

[Electro UK]

I only like getting achievements/trophies in games that are sort of silly to get them in now. Doing everything in Yakuza 4 and Dead Souls is a gigantic pain in the butt, but getting those trophies were a lot of fun. Same for Dark Souls.

You can already download the app to watch the E3 Microsoft Press Conference on XBOX Live. Can we download the Sony app yet to watch their E3 Press Conference on the PSN ?

 

[Electro UK]

Apparently through the IGN app on Xbox you can watch all the conferences there.
