E3 2008 Discussion Thread

Just like in previous years, it is time for the annual E3 discussion topic.

The event will is dated for June 15th-17th. Mark your calendars.

Just so happens to air during times where I'm in school. Ends the day before my first exam.

I hate watching things late and then coming to the thread all like, "oh, you already discussed this." It's what happened last year. I had to watch reruns of the show, and ended up missing most of Microsoft's.

Goddammit!

Does Spike have this broadcasted as well?
I have Dish and we don't have G4, so hopefully I can still see it on TV.

I know I could youtube it, but are there any other official places?

Why? both saints row and saints row 2 were great games (but NEVER better than gta) so i don't see how sr3 would be worse.

This has to be the first E3 I'm not totally pumped and excited about. I mean, I'll watch the G4 coverage, etc, but there isn't really anything I'm looking forward to be announced/showed off there.

I don't think the Project Natal "conference" is actually a conference. Also it will not be shwon on TV since they are banning video's/pictures aren't they. They were getting a lot of flak about that a few weeks ago so they might have changed their minds.

I'm pretty sure E3 will go something like this.

Nintendo
Shows some gameplay of the new Zelda game
Allows user to try out an Metroid Other M
Nintendo 3DS stuff, probably a big game will be announced along with it.
Some more random Wii Add-ons
They'll announce a few good games, and tons of shovelware. :(

Microsoft
The Natal showing, obviously.
I'm expect to see Halo and Gears of War 3 plastered all over their conference.
Probably announce that 343 studios is working on another Halo game.
Announce some upcoming timed exclusives.
IF they can get Agent to go multi-platform, that'd probably be huge. I doubt it'll happen though.
Bring re-vamped goldeneye to XBLA. I don't think this is legally possibly though, but who knows.
Some more info on MGS: Rising
I'm also expecting MS to host most of the multiplatform game trailers.

Sony
Playstation Move - obviously.
A bunch of 3D stuff.
Gran Turismo 5 Release date
Showing of Agent gameplay/trailer.
Announcement of EITHER resistance 3 or Killzone 3. I don't think they'll announce both at E3.
Bully 2 timed exclusivity.
LittleBigPlanet 2 stuff.
Some PSP announcements. Maybe some changes, or a new model.
The Last Guardian Release date.

As for other announcements. I'm expecting Dreamcast games coming out for both PSN and XBLA. PSN will have some exclusives regarding these games though.

By the way, this is going to be an interesting E3, Sony and Nintendo are RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. There stands are literally facing each other. I'm hoping that there will be some crazy fanboys thrown into the mix that will instigate something.

Some of the things I look most forward to hear about must be:

Playstation Move
Zelda Wii
StarWars: The Force Unleashed 2
Gran Turismo 5
Metroid Other M
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Project Natal
Pokemon Black & White

in this order

I think E3 will be great. Perhaps something really unexpected will appear

It is a conference, just not their official E3 one. They're showing off Project Natal to the world and are separating from their main E3 one. The Natal showing is E and the E3 conference is 18+. They will indeed be showing it on T.V., it has been confirmed by Microsoft. The reason they didn't want any cameras at the event is because they want people to watch it on T.V. in its true form.

I'm pretty sure E3 will go something like this.

This year is going to be all about motion controls for Sony and Microsoft. They'll show their Gran Turismo and Halo respectively, and get a bunch of applause. The real battle will to complete two tasks.

1) Convince hardcores that their FPS's will be improved by motion controls
2) Convince Casuals that their Motion Controls are significantly better than Nintendo's

Nintendo's situation is a bit different. It is unlikely that they will reveal any unseen new hardware. They will have three missions.

1) Wow the crowds with their games, both announced and unannounced (possibly a trio of Zelda, Pikmin, and Kirby)
2) Try to convince everyone that 3rd parties do in fact make games for the Wii
3) Introduce a new casual game that incorporates the Vitality sensor, which will overshadow the HD twins motion controls.

I'd say the initiative lies with Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo is on the defense.

Well one thing I like about Microsoft's set up is that it looks like they're separating Natal and their main conference. If you look at the description for the conferences the Natal one is rated E, while the main conference is 18+. This gives me hope that for the most part, the bullshit "try and get the whole family to play" games will be shown on Sunday night.

Reporting live from the floor to bring you the hottest gaming news. What do you have for us Don?

Well, it seems that Microsoft is now changing their entire name to Microhard which goes along with the new motto "So hard, your asshole will be left a bloody chaffed mess." Fanboys are ecstatic about the change while anti fanboys are all blindly calling the fanboys blind followers to a fake idol company.

Nintendo has declared that they really don't enjoy making games for screaming Zelda and Mario fanboys anymore and the entire company has decided switch its focus from game making to becoming an airport parking lot service provider. The story from the top Nintendo brass is that they feel that having a man in a Mario costume park your car will give travelers peace of mind when leaving their vehicles there for a few days.

Finally, Sony has revealed that they are in fact designing a new line of adult dildo products. It seems that the motion controller was such a hit with various online adult communities such as VGdildos.com that Sony felt it would be profitable to move in that direction. Consumer testing up to this point has come back positive and the various toys such as Nathen Drake's Wang, and the cleverly named Sackboy. The products are set to release this fall.

That's all for now from the E3 floor. More to come as the stories develop. Back to you Diane.

I think it's safe to say that Sony will announce inFamous 2 at E3 this year, as well as Killzone 3. They're also probably going to show off more footage of LittleBigPlanet 2 and PlayStation Move, which will probably be interesting.

All I really want though is for Atlus to announce Persona 5 for the PS3. They've already said that a new Persona game was in development, but they never said if it was a sequel or another remake. Right now I'm expecting a remake of Persona 2 for the PSP, but hopefully a true sequel will come out too.

Also, Demon's Souls 2 would be nice.

New Zelda amd the Nintendo 3DS would do it for me.

Arkham Asylum 2 news would be great, and news about improvements to Live, since XBox support is now dropped may be interesting.

Also Portal 2 and HL2Ep3 would make me weep with joy (well I know Portal 2 will be demoed there anyway due to the joke BSOD at Gabe's GDC speech)

I'm really hoping that the Nintendo 3DS will have a built-in hard drive and support digital distribution for its games as well as audio and video playback. I really like the idea of having my entire game collection with me at all times, rather than being forced to carry cartridges around. Also, it's nice to be able to listen to my own music and watch videos.

Also, the new Zelda will probably be awesome like always, but hopefully they'll make some big changes to the game in order to make it feel fresh. We need some new ideas, like the ones that were introduced in Majora's Mask.

I'm watching Nintendo and Sony very closely, there next moves in the handheld market could have huge reprocussions, especially for Sony, who are due to announce their PSP2, if it turns out they still haven't learned that affordability > technology and the importance of innovation in the system, then they might lose the handheld market, AGAIN, and if that happens, I think they'll eventually have to draw out of the market completely.

As for Nintendo, if they lose the handheld market, which is a very huge source of income for them, then they'll be looking at a dark new chapter in their lives as the Wii becomes increasingly obsolete with Natal coming out in the Fall.
