ENJOY... HAVE FUN.... LETS one of the best E3 Conference START!!!!

Well... 1st day has past... and of the major news ...

1. I was not as impress of FF13 going to 360, there was a rumor in the past and I agree with non-exclusive. We are all happy (exc maybe super fanboys) and the game company make money... Of course some exclusive are needed for the console to sell more... but whatever... Happy for those with 360 so you can get FF13 if you like the series....

.... Do you Gregg??? :P

2. I LOVE the RE stuff that come out to the light...

and OMG finally a female character that follow you around and is not a USELESS SCREAMING HYSTERICAL WOMEN!!! (yes, I`m talking about Ashley.. :lol: )

what is RE without a cabin surounded by zombies?? love it...

3. I`m intersted in the mushroom series of N.. no major updates.. but some nice screens that show that the game is moving forward.. so :)

4. DarkSider looks quite interested... so I`m gonna keep an eye on taht one.

5. And I`m drooling with Dead Space finally a game that looks it can be the true comeback of Horror Survival in 3rd person :D:D:D

:D

A quick summary + impressions from M$'s conference

They call the Wii gimmicky, and they then release a whole **** load of gimmick games (LIGHT UP MOTION SENSING MICROPHONE IS A MUST BUY OLOLOLO).
Fallout 3 is great looking, as is Gears 2. Nothing from bungie
Whole bunch of crappy family games, including a Wiifit + eyetoy ripoff
New dashboard layout, too...blah. Non descript and plain.

Mii-sorry, "Xbox Live Community Avatars"
Number spinning, of course
FF13 is on the 360
God awful singer, I had to mute my computer. She was horrible.
annoying arrogance, to the point where I wanted to put my foot through the speakers face

Microsoft Conference

THINGS I DID LIKE:

resident evil 5 was dated for a march 13th, 2009 release and looks sweeeeeeeeet!!
gears of war 2, fable 2, and all the square enix games looked pretty cool too...

THINGS I DID NOT LIKE:

i was greatly annoyed that glitchspot spent weeks hyping their live E3 coverage, then when its time to start they are unprepared for the heavy traffic and the site goes dead for an hour... :x

so i missed the first 20 minutes... then at the end when they unveil FF13, the camera zooms waaaay out and the game trailer was the size of a postage stamp!!!! the whole time i could barely see anything. and when it was over everybody cheered and i was like... WTF WAS THAT!?!? :evil:

basically the whole conference was like an oreo someone ate the middle out of. microsoft started strong and ended strong... but it was missing the creamy center. all they had was an eye toy rip off... mii rip off... music games... trivia games... movie downloads... dancing master chief... need i say more?

RE 5 looks AWESOME!!!

I checked in the REU a while ago, and most people thought the co-op would suck, but it looks as though it is really good. Halo Wars interests me, and i'm hoping for some new info on Sonic Dark Brotherhood.

That marketing woman is horrible, sucks at the new snowboarding game.
Call of Duty, starwars, raving rabbids footage
New Guitar Hero DS, and Spore DS
Animal Crossing + voice chat!
Voice chat works with an attachment on the sensor bar
Pokemon Ranger 2 dated (november 21, if memory serves)
GTA DS
A bunch of overall useless things on the DS, including some sort of travel info and cookbook. We'll see how those turn out.
Motion Plus detailed, 1:1 completely confirmed, comes with WiiSports: Resort. More beach based, includes waveracing, frissbee and sword fighting. And yes, Motion Plus can use the Nunchuck
Reggie is hereby known as the Regginator
Dominated sales
made pointed remarks that "if people imitate a revolution, it gets old". Also used up to date sales numbers to own microsoft.
Reggie sucks at the wave racing game
Shiggy pretends to play Saxaphone on Wiimusic, reveals he sucks at it, but is good at Guitar
50 instruments on Wii Music, 5 people can play
Shiggy confirmed to be just as, if not more epic
Mentioned FZero, no confirmation of any game
Their buisness goal seems to be putting smiles on everyones face

Overall, meh conference. They repeatedly mentioned 3rd party on the consoles, and then they show of freaking rabbids? Pitiful.

Expect CV:J and OoE news via the demos

oh yea.. RE5 looks SWEET!!! I`m getting the PS3 version... the last clips have being AWESOME!!!

@Kappa: at least you saw something I was stuck at work... As today, so I missed Nintendo`s as well.. thus it seems it was no much for me there... now... on a brake until 5pm.. so.. I`m here... at least I get to wtach HOME.. Sony`s..

@Semi: thx for sum that up for me :D

BTW: could someone tell me How that hell that micro thingy is going to work?? Like I sid on Wii forum.. the micro would be over teh TV and I will be 1.5 meters away.. :? I would have to yield??!?!

oh.. and imo... N conference... MEH! kind of happy with wiispeak... but no HDD :? and no real game :?:?

and now ps3 conference is talking about movies!!! I`m part of blockbuster!! move into GAMES!! :lol:

Just watched Sony. WARNING: I took notes during it, so its a bit long

Notes taken during the sony conference:

* Talking about sales and such, boring. Speaker is somewhat funny, but boring at the same time.

* Resistance 2 video. Unbelievable. Gorgeous, with something...huge.
lots of talking about features. 8 player online co-op, 60 online players. Big ships, epic battles, etc.
insomniac president looks weird. New trailer, still looks amazing

I must say, so far, Sony isn't holding back. Only one so far.

* Lots of stuff about LittleBig Planet. Happy about it being exclusive, sounds like a mixed casual/hardcore title

The crowd is way, way, WAY more forgiving than M$/Ninty's was

Really creative level, and an advertisment. funny

They will NOT stop talking numbers, will they?
About to ship to latin america

* Online PS3 games for less, not bad

He pronounced Ninja Gaiden funny. Guy-DEIN

(I wonder if we can build a castlevania game with little big planet)

* Talking about PS2. Will they announce its death? Please?
talking about upgrading...blah blah 130 new titles. Kinda sad, really

So far, this seems to be something of a Giant bragging convention, more than a "reveal new stuff"

* Buzz is now on the PSP, PS3, some DLC.
* new bundle, kinda cool. Lego batman + movie
* Now talking about PSN. PSN info can now be accessed anywhere, thats nifty

More bragging. Oh god shut up and show us games

* Finally. Rachet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty. Shorter game, lower price, available on PSN
Looks funny, more based on exploration, new gameplay stuff.

Whole bunch of new trailers. Crash Commando, Fat Princess, something with a a weird title I couldn't figure out, Pain amusement park, Flower, Siren: Blood Curse, Kung Foo ragdolls

Crowd remains magically better, despite that they should be bored. Maybe happy about the change from him yapping?

* Grand Turismo stuff. GT TV and Grand Turismo Prologue. Some sort of pay per view
Looks like something I wouldn't spend my money on. Amazingly boring commercial.

Bragging about trophies and about Home. Talking about how its totally worth it. More boring talking. Nothing new.

* New home video. Looks halfway interesting. Some nice little touches, and game specific rooms.
* Download movies and TV through the Playstation Marketplace-I mean, store. Sony (obviously) and Fox, mgs, warner, disney, etc are giving stuff.
* You can transfer to PSP, so you can watch on a tiny little screen on the bus
* OH GOD MORE BORING STUFF. NOW WE HAVE A WALKTHROUGH OF THE STORE

amazingly dull. Stopped watching, listening for something interesting
5 minutes later, its still going

* PSN update is up already, go update

* Moving to PSP, finally
new package, Racket and clank
RESISTANCE PSP. Called Retribution
visuals are great, 3rd person. Doesn't look like Nathan Hale. Spring 09
Crowd is restrained, annoying talker smiles
Whole lot of previously announced games, not gonna bother listing
continues to bore
DC universe online video, looks great. It had better get some upgrades, though

* PS3 pricedrop, 80 gig for 399

boring PS3 propaganda

tl;dr, sony is full of themselves, Resistance PSP, some new games

EDIT: by chang... sorry, just think is easy to read that way :P I separate fact from your opinion as well :)

uh, chang? every single one of those shots are old, I already updated the main thread with them a few days back

EDIT: Thanks for the edit. Also, thanks for deleting your post and making me look like a schizo.:P

:lol: sorry... :lol: I notice the shots where old bf I saw your post, if not I would have not delete it :oops: I read the title "E3 CV..." and posted it... then I notice that it was not really new.

I keep loving the underwater image..

btw: you did not posted it... you just talk about it ... and did not share :cry: :P ... jk.. I knew you were talking about the IGN article (at least there was where I saw those, together with teh clips... that you report so nicely)

so...... castlevania... E3.. konami??? hellow....

I have to go back to work at 4:45 :cry: so.. like now... and no CV :(

EDIT: btw.. DO you guys think that with WiiSpeak.. IGA team would put voice chat on CV:J??

and GS is showing the show floors of E3 now... and they show the spot for CV: Judgement.. at Konami boot.. :D

They would be back into it.. so stay tune :D

Yeah, it's looking really good... Man, Sony's conference REALLY made me want a PS3... too bad it's so expensive:( I need to get a better PC too, or I won't be able to run Dawn of War II, cuz the trailer was just... WOW...

@Ice: they did a price cut.. did you know?

Also... Another interview with IGA: WHy a 3D fighting game?

@Ice: they did a price cut.. did you know? chang_1910

Yeah, but it's still too much... maybe next year! And now they're talking about Resistance 2 on E3 live... WHY MUST THEY TORTURE ME!!!? It looks SO GOOD!!! Now I need to go cry in a corner...

[QUOTE="semianonymous"][QUOTE="semianonymous"]tomorrow at 2:30, I'll find the live streamchang_1910

yea.. but is taht EST or PT?

PST

They've got a preview on OoE now: here

I didn't know there were gonna be subweapons. Did I miss that or wasn't it announced until now?

dont worry chang, if you didnt see the nintendo conference you didnt really miss anything... i thought it was booooring. they just did their typical "we're out selling everyone cuz we make games for girls and grandmas now" speech. and they had no big game announcements or anything at all... but at least sony's conference was pretty sweet. DID YOU SEE THAT RESISTANCE 2 GAMEPLAY?? that monster was the size of a skyscraper!!!!

They've got a preview on OoE now: here

I didn't know there were gonna be subweapons. Did I miss that or wasn't it announced until now?

Icemael

:cry: you ahve being ignoring me :cry:

Yes, that was announce before. And unless I`m mistaken you ask that in the OoE thread and I asnwer you... noones listen to me :cry: ...

jk.. :P

We knew this.. is on the official page on the boards.

@Kappa: yeap.. imo sony`s this year was great.

@Gregg: yea.. like I said bf I support multiplataformer games... Glad you gonna get FF13 :) And do not worry I think that we here can have a healthy chat about it.. and you know me, if it goes in any other direction... well...

BTW: have you guys saying that DEAD SPACE game?? taht LOOK SWEET!!!! among others games.. I`m thinking about selling my roommate as slave :lol:

Icemael

that can't be right. IGN said they got a throwing knife glyph. I think they just wrote wrong. There simply aren't any buttons left for subweapons.

How could I miss that? I've read through the OoE thread... seems I need to pay more attention...

So far we've seen a lot of good games, but I was hoping for some cool Wii or DS games except CV... maybe there'll be some later...

well, I've figured pretty much that. We'll get subweapon-esque glyphs, and use them like regular weapons. they made it sound like every glyph comes with a subweapon, or something of the sort.

I think they are refering those as subweapon.. as we`ll see the main subweapon of CV.. axes, knive.... and such...

hold on...

i edited the first post...

@Kappa: I LOVE YOU!!!! nAnd I`m gonna put that over everything else... :D and taht is PT.. so i can watch it for sure.. :D:D:D LOVE.. kappa.. I LOVE YOU!!!

Also did you know there would be cover of CV tomorrow as well... :D

and DEAD SPACE!! is at 5pm thursday.. LOVE YOU

Carmilla, Cornell, and the entire CV3 crew playable

enjoy

and I think I also speak for Gregg... WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!

and Camilla as playable that is a NICE touch :D:D

the fangirl in me is soooo happy... and if this game do not gte me into 3D fitghing nothing will :lol:

So now there are only 3 unannounced characters... perhaps Soma, Nathan and Julius? But if Nathan and Julius are in there'll be 4 whip-wielding characters... Sure, Nathan has his cards, but what'll be the difference between Julius, Simon and Trevor??? Or maybe the put in The Creature, Medusa or Werewolf... why just 14 characters!!? Me wants more!

Hopefully they'll put in a few more characters as unlockables:)

Icemael

how do you figure only 14 characters? It was already confirmed, classic bosses are playable, as are characters that "span the entire 22 year series". We'll be looking at 25+ characters, more likely.

That can't be right, thats pitiful.

Simon

Dracula

Death

Alucard

Maria

Cornell

Trevor

Carmilla

Sypha

Grant

Shoana

If 14 were true, I promise you that Grant and Sypha wouldn't be in. We still have Soma, Gruesome twosome, Yoko, Julius, Brauner, Vampire Sisters, Christopher, Soliyu, Eric, John, Bathory, Celia, Dario, Dimitrii, Succubus, Skeleton Knight, werewolf, mummy, Albus, Medusa, Leon, Walter, Hector, Issac and Richter, all of whom stand a fantastic chance of playablity. thats 27 characters that have a chance, and they will somehow wittle that down to 3? Absurd.

Shock and Awe: Dead Rising Wii

You're right, if there's just 14 characters the game's not even worth buying. Not that I wouldn't. Anyway, that info must be wrong, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see...Icemael

yeah...that seems kinda sad. i have been playing Bleach(2nd, HtS5) and Jump!...and i enjoy of having a roster of 50 fighters more or less. keeps he replay value up.

hopefully the scenario/story mode(whatever they are gonna call it) is kinda long so it takes some time with each fighter
