–---------------------------------------

My opinions…that no one gives a fuck about

I have to say the PS3 looks like shit, most games are coming out on 360

360 lineup looks the best. Looks forward to Fable 2 and Gears

Nintendo lineup is mostly DS, which i dont care about. Wii still doesnt seem to have any 3rd party developers. Wii is starting to seem like a dissapointment to me, its lost all of its charm and fast. Theres no games

I think its almost safe to say that 360 has been the best all around console so far

Moria

Meh, Nintendo will probably reveal something pretty awesome, since they said they had a HUGE holiday game for this year to be revealed at e3. I'd be content with Pikmin 3 and Animal Crossing Wii, but we'll probably get something more. I'm not expecting an epic e3 this year, but there are quite a few 3rd party games I'm looking forward to.

Sandai Mera

Hopefully Sony winds up making Microsoft look like shit again this year.

This looks like it'll be a piece of art in motion, much like Killer 7. At first glance, I thought it was a Hellboy game due to Jack's buff build and goggles looking like shaved horns.

The only thing I dislike about the video is that all the victim's screams sound the same (mostly because it's a teaser for now).

Although Nintendo Power said it may not come out until 2009…

nintendo is supposed to have some huge announcement at e3 from what I heard

Supernova

Hopefully for there announcement its pikman 3 or news for another smash.

The only thing now on the Wii im looking foward to is Wario Shake it and One piece Unlimeted Cruise.

OldSnake

Well since I don't own a 360, and plus most of their hit games that are coming out soon have already been shown, I am not really looking foward to anything that they could be offering at e3. Most likely we will get a Gears of war trailer or something else.

As for the Wii (which by some freak of nature is winning the console war with it's sales, even though it isn't marketed towards the hardcore gamer, blah blah) it is already the best console out of the three (I don't think so) but the sales matter. It is said that a major title will be shown at e3. I'm hopeing for either Animal crossing or A NEW ZELDA!!! I won't give my hopes up though..

And last the almighty Playstation 3! (fan boy squeal) Hopefully a new trailer to Killzone2?? Motor storm 2?? and it has been officially announced that a God of war 3 trailer(teaser/announcement) will happen at e3!!!!

So the games I am looking foward to the most for E3 are

1. God of war 3

2.Prototype

3.Killzone 2

4. what ever nintendo has to offer (either zelda, animal crossing, kid Ikiris???, or something new!)

Oh yeh I hope some kind of information comes out on a new Kingdom hearts title…and not those bull crap hand held ones.

Sandai Mera

@OldSnake:

but the sales matter.

They don't matter if no one's playing it your basically paying $250 for something you could get at officemax (presumably) for a way cheaper price…a paperweight.

MushroomBoy

@Sandai:

….wai-what? were we at the same e3? are you sure you weren't at the one in like 99? the one right before microsoft showed at all?

i dunno how accurate the facts are in that rant, but i DO know that sony didn't do ANYTHING last year. o_O

neither did 360, really.........meh.

this year doesn't seem that exciting. tho animal crossing wii and rokk band 2'll be a good time.

i want a new nintendo handheld, damnit. i will dream. -_o

Sandai Mera

@MushroomBoy:

….wai-what? were we at the same e3? are you sure you weren't at the one in like 99? the one right before microsoft showed at all?

Um no I'm referring to E3 07.

@MushroomBoy:

Don't you mean a new DS model?

Supernova

Yes we do need a new Hand held.Ds is getting old.But I also hope that they announce some new mario game.Hopefully a sequal to Galaxy.

Sandai Mera

There really wouldn't be a legit reason for Nintendo to come out with a new handheld at the moment, the DS is barely 5 years old, though age usually plays
little to no factor in Nintendo releasing a new handeheld it'd be pretty ridiculous for Nintendo to come out with a new handheld now.

King_Ty

I think new handheld will come out when new console will come out…so probably like 5 years or something. Probably will be newer models and such for DS though

RuNa

It's apparent that this topic is filled with too many raging fanboys, so I'll probably hold off on posting anymore until next week.

I do plan, however, on watching all of the conferences this year instead of just reading the updates on them.

Greg

@Supernova:

Wow, no one tell him how long the Game Boy was around.

Sandai Mera

Look they had Gameboys in the 70's =P.

…

KEEP PRACTICING.

Greg

But yeah, God of War all the way for most anicipated game in my book. Probably would have been Banjo if they didn`t fuck with the concept.

If Nintendo announced a new Zelda that would be AMAZING but I still think it`s too soon.

Moria

Looks like this thread is quickly turning into a fanboy-war, so like Runa, I'm gonna hold off until E3 to see what's shown.

MushroomBoy

@Sandai:

Don't you mean a new DS model?

nnnnnnope. ds is getting old(not literally age, greg. y'silly.), and i cant imagine how they'd improve it now other than a succesor.

THE TS…...trio-screen. -_o

OldSnake

Regardless of my fanboyish acts (praises sony), my most anticipated game is God of war 3. If they (if there is a God) announce a new Zelda, then I will be pleased.

Supernova

Or maybe a yoshi 3D game for the wii.When was the last 3D game he got.Since N64 i believe.

Sandai Mera

Yoshi's Story wasn't 3D.

Mr. Zoro

@Sandai:

Look they had Gameboys in the 70's =P.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Game_boy_damaged_in_the_gulf_war.JPG

What happened to that Gameboy anyways, deepfried or what?

I'd like to see what Aonuma does with the new Zelda, if such a thing is going to occur soon. He hasn't failed to impress me yet.

Sandai Mera

It was in a war literally.

MushroomBoy

yea, that one…...with those bombs'er something.

but i don't want a new zelda yet. it's too soon. unless it's a wind waker one. ah, wind waker. such an adorable and good game.

but what nintendo needs is new franchises. pikmin esque stuff. sony is doing fine, as well as 360, but i dun't think the wii will keep it's momentum if they don't keep up the variety.

King_Ty

Arnt they making a wii music channel?

Supernova

Hope we get something good from Nba 2k9, Fight Night Round 4, and basically other sports games.

@RuNa:

It's apparent that this topic is filled with too many raging fanboys

Personally I'm a big big fan of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. So I guess that makes me a fanboy of video games . I love games in all colours and shapes. And I sort of wish more people would be like that, instead of having this very narrow scope…

Anyway, I'm looking forward to hear (more) about Half-Life: Episode 3, Dawn of War 2, Red Alert 3, Resident Evil 5, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, Fallout 3, GTA4 DLC episode, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, Peter Jackson's Halo project, Bioshock 2, Ken Levine's new game project, a new X-Com game, Mirror's Edge, God of War III, Team Ico's new game project, Resistance 2, MadWorld, a new Zelda game and Pikmin 3.

Among many others. Some of those won't happen but a fanboy can dream, right? Sucks that Blizzard won't be there though. Anything about Diablo 3 woud be drool worthy.

Tsuchirinhon

Ueda Fumito needs to reveal something about his new game, Sony needs to reveal something about the new Twisted Metal title, and Nintendo needs to give me something to cum my pants.

LaCaSiNa

I want information about Silent Hill: Homecoming sooooo bad. I mean, the game is due to September and there hasn't even been a proper trailer yet! Konami is having a press conference for its E3 media briefing, maybe someting will go down.

Info on Alan Wake would be appreciated as well. Go Remedy!

Gorlom

a new X-Com game

who when how?

is it take 2 that has the rights for that one right now or who does?

will chaos concept be releasing any more of their versions?

I cant say I really liked the aftermath/shock/light series…

King_Ty

Wait…new Twisted Metal!!?

Supernova

Hopefully nintendo's big game announcement is not pokemon platina.That would be dissapointing.

Insider2000

hugs all three systems

I love you all equally. However, PS3….you need more games. And Wii.. you need to keep me interested.... And 360.... you need to stop making loud noises when we play Viva Pinata.

Otherwise, you guys are great.

Sandai Mera

Wario Land Shake It wasn't enough?

@Yoska:

They can't as long as they keep over hyping their favorite systems like Naruto & One Piece fans do.

hadex

I'm looking forward to whatever non-shooter game sony or nintendo has to offer, since I won't be buying a 360 probably and I don't like shooters, I won't be paying too much attention to 360's announcements ;/

Tsuchirinhon

@LaCaSiNa:

Fuck yes.

@King_Ty:

@Sandai:

Rephrase: I want Nintendo to reveal something amazing, that I don't know about, and make me cum my pants.

Supernova

Like a new Kirby game for the Wii.

Insider2000

Kirby having a game has been revealed.

My hopes are for something really big.

Like Nintendo and Sega forming together (unlikely), another Super Smash Brothers game (unlikely), or the next big "extention" to the Wii in the form of an oddball controllers (most likely).

When is E3 going to be? And does anyone have any good way to view coverage of it, or should I stick with G4? G4 isn't bad, but there's always better.

Sandai Mera

@Insider2000:

Gamespot & IGN usually cover it but not in the same way G4 does i.e. televising their coverage.

And it's scheduled for the 14th - next monday

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Game_boy_damaged_in_the_gulf_war.JPG

The Gulf War was in the early 90's…

But yeah, Game Boy lasted a LONG time... GBA only went for 4 years before the DS came out...

Insider2000

About that burnt up Gameboy. I saw it up close. It's in a "Nintendo World" shop in New York.

They actually have it playing a game of Tetris on demo. It still works.

Yoska

@Gorlom:

who when how?

is it take 2 that has the rights for that one right now or who does?

A new X-com game is just a big might, there has been some rumours but that's about it. But you would think that Take Two wouldn't go throught the hassle of acquiring the rights for X-com games without a good reason, right? So a new X-com should eventually happen. At least if EA buys Take Two . The best part of the rumours has been that the new game by Ken Levine and 2K Boston and the new X-com game might be the very same thing.

Apparently a new faction for Dawn of War 2 will be revealed at the E3. Although I think it will be just the Chaos Marines, they seem like a pretty obvious choice. It's still cool, none the less.

Greg

ds is getting old

Yes I know not literally age. New variations of the Game Boy were coming out for YEARS before Advance ever showed up.

Gaiyae

Games i hope to see:

Wii/DS: The new castlevania ds game, Wario Land Shake, a great nintendo wii game that isn't based on a existing nintendo francise/character..

Playstation 3: God of F-ing War 3, LBP, inFamous, White knight story

Xbox 360: Fable 2,the new Banjo Kazooje PC: Spore And i'm hoping to see some nice upcoming rpg's

rusashi

No FFXIII at E3

Wow SE, you're pretty gay

Tsuchirinhon

Who the fuck wants to play that garbage, anyway.
