General E3 2009 Discussion - System Wars Style [UPDATED 1.4]

Putting the "WINNING" of E3 Into Perspective

Watch the Live Conference Stream

Gamespot E3 Board

There are many E3/Announcements/New Game threads. So I wanted to make my own to organize all of the frantic thoughts and wishes of forumites as well as to express my own view on E3 this year.

My head hurts from seeing random threads and posts about "Microsoft will do this" or "Sony will do this" to win. While at the same time no one ever mentions Nintendo or ALL three together.

Furthermore, some fanboys act like E3 has already been "WON" by a particular company and/or that E3 will be "WON" with just ONE game.

----------------

[[[ WHAT IT TAKES ]]]

• Showing interesting footage of games previously announced

• Revealing a new installment of an existing IP

• Revealing of a brand new Intellectual Property

• "Stealing" or acquiring an exclusive from another console

• Announcing new features for a platform and/or console infrastructure

• Announcement of new hardware or redesign of existing console

• Price cut for existing console
• Revealing brand new hardware to compliment/expand existing console
  
  

Who will offer the MOST of the aforementioned bullet points? THIS is who will "WIN". Sure it boils down to your preference. But to be fair and reasonable this is what it takes to "WIN" E3 (even though it can't be won, it's for the gamers).

I will edit the lists as announcements are posted.

CREDITS

--- Pics and Thread made by TREAL_Since

--- Fail pic by BoloTheGreat

--- Some thought from Episode_Eve and XturnalS

--- IGN E3 List

--- E3 itself!

IMO, the company that wins is the one who announce products that hasn't been announced. I think Sony's E3 will be dissapointing because most of their big guns are getting leaked.

Sony products that has been leaked:

• PSP Go!
• Metal Gear PSP
• Gran Turismo PSP
• Final Fantasty VII PS1 Classic (rumored)

Hey nice thread :D

Finally, a thread by a user who is not openly bias. I agree, let's keep it all in one place. Tomorrow is going too be sick. (waits for forums to crash :P)

Good thread TC. E3 here we come.

If Microsoft announces REAL 360 exclusives like 3-4 I may get a 360. I just don't want them to go to PC since I already have a gaming PC, I know Rare's games stay on 360 so that's a lock but I need more.

Lol...the "actual" Nintendo list is pathetic...they better have something up their sleeves.SMR-Venom

They still have the games not released since the fall conference like Sin and Punishment 2 and Dynamic Slash. They'll be alright.

wow... nice post...

my dream E3 would consist of...

StarCraft 2 being released by August...

Mario Universe* announced for Wii

New (even darker- more plot driven) Zelda for Wii

Ninja Gaiden 3 announced for 360

Dead or Alive 5 announced for 360

Street Fighter III announced for PSP

Virtua Fighter 6 announced for arcades/360

A Jackie Chan video game sequel

Final Fight HD Remix w/ online play announced

Super Mario RPG: Return of Smithy for Wii

Marvel vs Capcom 3

...I dream big :)

About time one of these threads popped up, nice one TREAL.

Cmooooon Nintendo, show us the goods!

Lol...the "actual" Nintendo list is pathetic...they better have something up their sleeves.SMR-Venom

I think the conference presentation also plays a factor .... and how these companies handle their casual offerings.

The PS3 doesn't have much, 360 looks more interesting to me.

Sexy thread, and I agree with the contents of it completely

I see. Well, hopefully they surprise us. I don't have much room in my gaming fund as it is though :P

Uncharted has online c0-op and multiplayer, im sure thats enough

GT3 was amazing, visually and gameplay.

The media will choose the winner. If you watch E3 coverage and/or listen to podcasts, then it'll be quite obvious as to who "won" E3.

Most PS3 and PSP games, including the new PSP hardware, have already been revealed, taking some steam out of Sony's showing. What new will they reveal?

This is a very good thread.

Just like past years, I think it'll be pretty hard to guess which company will come out on top. My money is on MS, just because they need to deliver.

Great thread. Can we get a sticky?:D

If everything on that first list were to be announced, this would be the craziest E3 of all time. But, alas, it will be another disappointment.

Trico, the game so good, you had to list it twice;).

I am hoping we will hear about God of War 3,Bayonetta and a few more like Tekken 6.

All 3 of those are a given. Gameplay demos.

why would the 360 need a price cut its already dirt cheap

and why would the zune be annouced at e3 it has nothin to do with games

So, when does it start? Who's conference is tomorrow? AAllxxjjnn

microsofts press confrence is tommorrow at 10:30

Nice. I tried to do something like this the other day but I don't really know what nintendo is doing... I think the only thing wrong there is Splinter Cell, Gay Tony, Lost planet 2, a new lionhead game and the vid camera are all confirmed and actual for MS at this point.

I think every systems lineup is huge.

nothing but rehashes from all of them more so from nintendo!daveg1

Edit: I'm going to leave it at that, I don't want to ruin all the effort Treal has put into this thread.

Nice thread. I really hope I can finally get back at buying console games. The last console game I bought was GTA IV back in Augest 29, 2008. I mostly buy PC and PSP games now. Come on E3, excite me!!

what about PC?
