But anyway, July 10th isn't that far away, only a little over a week. But I'm glad you made the topic Me111, otherwise I would've forgotten. ;D
And SoT, as long as no one's threatening us with turkey gravey inemas, yes.

However, the big pre-E3 shows from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, are still there, and that's always the most important gaming news of the year.
Personally, I'm excited. Last year was about the promise of new technology and what it could do - however, this year, it's more about the games, as all the consoles have been released. The games that will provide the momentum and finally prove the hype.
I do expect a redesigned PSP though to compete with DS, which has been slaughtering it.

By now I'd guess the answer would be no.
I doubt there will be many shocks console wise. The next gen (or current gen now) systems are all out nd it will be awhile before anything new turns up.

I'm more interested in a Brawl demo, BWii, another MP:3 demo, and more on SM:G.
I'd also like to see some more info about No More Heros.

Posted 30 June 2007 - 04:39 AM
Hopefully new Brawl movie that has Riddles in it
More information on Galaxies so I can decide wether it looks good enough to get
Hopefully more corruption info and maybe the full Ridley fight
Battle Revolution info for Europe
Phantom Hourglass release date
In that order.

And just so I know... BWii? Can someone please tell me what it is?
#10

Which reminds me... I think that if it's not GS3, it's about time a Fire Emblem game was revealed for DS. And the release date of FE10 for Wii, outside Japan.

At any rate, what are the big titles that will be shown at E3? On Nintendo's front, it's Brawl, Galaxy, Corruption. Microsoft has Halo 3, and all those great 3rd party games (Grand Theft Auto, Assassin's Creed, etc.). PS3 has many of the same titles (including the exclusive Final Fantasy XIII), but anyone know what's coming out on their first party front?

I don't like to get excited about things until they actually start happening (the more excited you get, the more likely you'll get disappointed), so I'm not really going to get excited about E3 just yet. I still don't own any consoles, so the only thing that I'd like to hear about is the new Zelda for the DS.

Are you seriously doubting Ridley being in Brawl? Seriously? You think that the most recurring Metroid villain, the coolest villain hands down ever ( apart from Darth Vader), the one with the most history with Samus as he killed her parents, one of the villains Sakurai wants more of, one of the flyers Sakurai wants more of, 2nd place in Sakurai's favourites for Brawl, who already has his own theme tune in the game, who wont be a Assist Trophy due the theme tune, who has many fans, and the very few who defy are shunned by the fans, the character who is worshipped in his SB topic, the character who will have villages razed in his name if he isn't in Brawl?

I should point out some disappointing news; Nintendo has confirmed that Brawl will NOT be playable at E3. It has nothing to do with the quality of the game or anything, but supposedly, Nintendo wants to focus this year's E3 on unveiling new, never-before-seen games.
(But of course, we might still get a trailer, that's not out of the question)

I just feel that the Secret Rings was just one good game in a collection of bad ones in recent times.
I'm still unsure what to make of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. It just seems like such a bizarre concept.

I think as this is Brawl's last major event before the game is released ( Definately this year, so no E3 wit h Brawl next year), we should expect a lot of information to feed us on. And with no demo, there's a high chance that there will be a trailer, as they can't just talk for an hour, with a few screenies.
#44
Posted 05 July 2007 - 12:00 PM
But i'm just having a laugh with him at the moment, i'm toning down the Ridley craziness so i'm not uber dissapointed if he's not in. On Smashboards, some losers actually cried when they saw Goroh wasn't playable. Now that's just sad.

Who the hell is Ridley...
I'm being serious here. Why would a massive dragon be competeing with DK and Kirby and Fox, it doesn't make sense.
To Zelda fans- Phantom Hourglass is fantastic, I have the Jap version, great game.
Only, when is the 'holiday season' for Jap and USA? Several games are coming out then that I want.
Hopefully some good Wii stuff is out. Last thing I bought was my copy of Zelda at launch...Hopefully some better N64 games for the Virtual console...

Now tell me how Ridley wouldn't fit in.

That's ridley in the melee opening video; proof that Sakurai has noticed him.
What i'm also excited about for E3 is Metroid Dread. Hopefully retro or whoever are developing will let some info out, otherwise we will assume it's cancelled, due to it's absence last year.

Consoles on the other hand, well, they don't glitch nearly as often as PC's, though that's slowly becoming untrue due to all the consoles slowly evolving into un-upgradeable PC's (their hardware and circuitry designs are becoming that of computers). The only difference, is that with consoles there's a standard, and that's what the three current consoles can handle, whereas with PC's, there's a huge diversity in hardware, software, speed, power, you name it.
But even though Ninty only has three good titles comming in, there'll be a lot more in due time. Hopefully the Wii will be able to handle NFS: ProStreet, which is supposed to be really good. It's description reminds me of Porsche Unleashed, one of their best titles yet IMO.

Wii Fit has to be one of the most brilliant ideas ever. Say what you will about it, it far outshines any other "gimmicky" casual game out there, and has the potential to make the Wii even more popular to the mass market.
I was very satisfied with the performance by Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for DS, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. The live demonstrations, plus the graphics, were fantastic, and definitely made me even more certain of the touch screen and Wii controls, respectively.
Even Reggie admitted that Galaxy will be the "true successor" to Super Mario 64, which I found surprising.
All in all, great. No true "megaton" announcement from any of the conferences, but solid all the same.
Remember though, Brawl was unveiled last year on the last day of E3. So you never know. Wait for this Friday, and cross your fingers for this.

Sony... just... ew.
The Wii was the only thing I was honestly interested in, though that was mostly for playing GameCube games and the Virtual Console. It's still too hard to find, and it still seems as if Nintendo is going the wrong way with it. I'm not entirely convinced that ol' Grandpa Jenkins and your mom are ever going to be interested in video games like Nintendo's hoping. Throw your real fans a bone, and that means more than just 3 games to end this and half of next year with. I think you guys are getting a bit screwed here.

I doubt I will be getting Corruption for a while, as i've heard from lots of places it's been transformed into an FPS. I preferred Prime just as a First Person adventure game. But i'll see how it turns out.
PH looks awesome, i'm definately reserving a copy.
Mario Kart Wii....wow! Hopefully the release date wont be too close to Brawl, or i'll be spoilt for choice. Wii wheel ftw!

The video was quite blurry, but i'm sure that the Wii wheel had buttons on the back. I'm guessing thats because some of the buttons on the Wiimote are hard to get to when side on. Mario Kart only really needs 3 buttons; Accelerate, item and powerslide.

That said, E3 is now over, and if it's one thing that's been proven, it's that this event is no longer the "defining" gaming event of the year. It's still important, but not to the extent it was before. In many ways, that's positive, because this means that companies will now save many big announcements throughout the year, instead of just focusing on the one week (though admittedly, that's what made E3 fun in past years).
So, what are your thoughts about it? What were your favorite moments, revelations, etc. from this E3?

Sorry about that weird change in weather; I had to disable some mods because some would only work with HDR while others wouldn't work with HDR blah blah. As you can see, HDR is REAL light (the sky is bright while the character's "eyes" are adjusted to what is ahead" while bloom is sort of more like a filter that goes across the screen. Both are infintely better than no lighting. Some prefer Bloom over HDR because HDR is too bright. I have to remind them, if you actually go outside on a sunny day in real life... it's pretty damn bright. Though some games do get carried away with bright lighting, I think HDR is a new technology that developers like to toy with (like CG in movies) and it'll be perfected some day.
