With this year's E3 a little less than a month away, I thought it'd be a good time to start a thread to see what games people are interested in finding out more about when the time comes. As for my, my most anticipated game of E3 this year is Devil's Third, so far, as I really want to learn more about it and see how much the gameplay has moved along since that brief little clip Itagaki released last year. I'm also just really curious to see what the gameplay will look like for NG3, but being that I still have little faith in Hayashi's abilities as a developer to make a great game, I certainly won't be calling NG3 my most anticipated game in any regard unless it earns my anticipation by actually impressing me with its gameplay (which I really hope would happen, but I also highly doubt it).
Aside from that, I really want to learn more about Max Payne 3 and Shadows of the Damned.
I'm also interested to see what other people here are looking forward to learning more about at E3.
E3 was surprisingly good last year (despite having Microsoft's single worst showing at their conference by leagues) so I'm finally willing to accept it as 'back' after two decidedly mediocre years before it.
What I want to see that will probably be there:
Super Mario 3DS (2D Mario meets Galaxy? YES)
Nintendo Conference (new 3DS games AND a new system? Hot damn)
Sonic Generations gameplay (All Sonic, no crap. Unveil Hydrocity and Lava Reef and I will preorder that shit day one)
Mega Man Legends 3 gameplay
Twisted Metal gameplay (Game's about done, lets see how it has shaped up)
Kirby Wii
More Saturn rereleases coming down the pipeline from Sega
Halo 1 Remake (If only to see how it's done)
Soul Calibur V (Fix this series, Namco)
Many surprise announcements from the conferences (ALWAYS great fun)
No chance of even happening:
StarTropics 3DS (Because it's the only Nintendo IP that needs to come back)
Ace Attorney Investigations 2 (Fuck you, Capcom)
Valkyria Chronicles 3 (If it isn't here, it's not coming, and then I'm done with the series)
Ninja Gaiden 3DS ("We decided to make a 2D style Ninja Gaiden with crazy 3D graphics and tons of awesome platforming and action!" Yeah right, this is Tecmo)
Viewtiful Joe 3DS (even a port of the original with extras... because it's easy money)
Left 4 Dead 3 (This one I don't actually want. Just give us more DLC)
Half Life 3 (Because they'll be hyping DOTA 2 putting HL on the backburner AGAIN)
Deadly Premonition 2
Borderlands 2 (there are so many easy improvements to make here that would be awesome to see. Unfortunately, Gearbox probably isn't working on this right now)
NGP not having inferior console shooters as the main focus of its line up developed by B-teams that nobody except hardcore Sony fans even want
New Double Dragon (How the fuck do you leave this IP dead like this? Inexcusable)
Honestly it's hard to list what I'm excited for because nine times out of ten, the best stuff is the stuff that gets announced there.
Really hoping to see some Max Payne 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Hitman: Absolution at E3 this year. Maybe Serious Sam 3 and Thief 4, as well. Oh, and Anarchy Reigns, too!
Mass Effect 3 is easily my most anticipated game to see at E3.
Since I haven't been keeping up with games enough to know what to speculate so I'll just list everything I want to see:
Grand Theft Auto IV
Saint's Row The Third
Mass Effect 3
Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City (FUCK....YES!!!)
Rayman Origins
Beyond Good & Evil II
Keiji Inafune's next game
More Sonic Generations levels
Next Prince Of Persia (I guess)
Uncharted 3
Half-Life 3?
Streets Of Rage 4 (yeah right)
Doom 4
Enslaved 2 (yeah, I said it)
Twisted Metal
Next Tomb Raider
Shadowrun remake
Infamous 2
Next Spider-man game
MGS Rising
Moon Driver
Guardian Heroes HD
A fucking American Einhander PSN port
Inversion
Rage
Shadows Of The Damned
EA MMA 2
Earth Defense Force sequel
new Jak
The Darkness 2
Hmmm, I think I found out about most of these games from the last 3 Game Informers I was sent. Maybe I'm not behind anymore.

There's go to be a Halo remake? I'll buy that. And I knew you'd mention Double Dragon.

Your avatar reminds me that I want a new 2D Shinobi. And a new real Castlevania game for XBLA.
3D Shinobi by Platinum Games plus a 2D Shinobi by Treasure.
Too obvious. Sega will never do it. :(
:'( Don't remind me. I want my Vectorman 3.
Tecmo-Koei is working on Cafe launch titles. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430153) IMO, a Ninja Gaiden collection (Black and 2 spruced up with the 3 NES games unlockable) would be a smart idea to prepare the player base for 3 coming down the pipe. And with the new found Tecmo/Nintendo relationship, they would be smart to get in on the ground floor here and Team Ninja hinted at having a Cafe project in the pipeline...
So they probably won't do that.
Sigh.

Sigh.
The reason for why that's not possible, though, is that Tecmo apparently almost got into a lot of trouble with Nintendo for emulating the SNES trilogy version of the 2D Ninja Gaiden games in Ninja Gaiden on the XBOX (which was featured as an unlockable that you get from Murai after collecting all 50 Golden Scarabs in the game). Apparently, according to Nintendo, that went against some copyright agreement from ages ago or some crap like that (which forced them to remove those unlockables from Ninja Gaiden Black and replace them with the Ninja Gaiden arcade game), so really if Tecmo were to do a cafe collection thing it couldn't feature the 2D games with the 3D games unless they also ported the 3D games to the Wii somehow (which is completely unlikely), and it wouldn't be practical to do the 2D games by themselves for the Wii since they already released the NES trilogy on the Virtual Console for the Wii. So, in this case, its actually not Tecmo's fault (though, I guess I can't really blame Nintendo for doing that, either).
If Tecmo-Koei were to re-release the 2D NG games with the 3D ones for a collection pack, they'd probably have to end up using the Turbo Graffix ports of the 2D games as those were the most well-received ports of the numerous ones that the NG games received, and they probably wouldn't run into any legal issues with those.
I hope they announce something that makes me turn on my systems again.
Seriously, the last time I turned on my Wii, I just went to watch old movies on Netflix, and the last time I turned on my PS3 was just to watch a batch of Suite Precure episodes in HD.
You didn't try Portal 2 or MK?
Not to say I disagree, I've been mostly playing old games for lack of anything good (The year has sucked for games so far), but E3 always has something awesome waiting in the shadows.

I tried both, but in my defense, I haven't been visiting home very much in the last few months, so I haven't really had time to sit down and play some games. Both are definitely on my to pick-up list, I'm just waiting for the semester to end first.

:D Good one. So everyone besides the 3treme video game nerds to go ahead and list what games they want to see at the show.
Let's see the games I'm looking forward to are
Battlefield 3- Battlefield games have held my interest for a while.
Gears of War 3- I want to see how this ends, and playing the Beta has been fun.
Modern Warfare 3- I want to see what this new developer is going to be like.
Mario 3DS- It's Mario on the 3DS, nuff said.
Project Cafe- Time to start saving money for this thing.
I'm hoping that Valve releases some info on a new game or at least show off Meet the Medic.
Valve is probably gonna be hyping up DOTA 2. Which is a shame because I totally have no interest whatsoever in it and want to see Half Life 3 already (come on, you know there is no more episode 3) and more L4D2 DLC.
There's also the rumor that Valve has something to do with Cafe's online features, but I don't wanna hype myself up for that. That would be TOO insane.
Okay, sign that shows hpw behind I am: What's Project Cafe?! Yeah, I suck. Also, what's DOTA?
Project Cafe is the codename of the new Nintendo console, and DOTA is well, this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_of_the_Ancients)...
Not really my style.
There better be some free hats for Hat Simulator 2 that I can get in this, other wise, this is a skip for me.

As for the E3 itself, I think Nintendo's CERTAINLY has the potential to be better then last year's. That's a big claim, but Project Cafe sound incredible so far. :)
More games I want to see at E3:
Mirror's Edge 2
Psi-Ops 2
New Riddick
Tomba! 3
Powerstone 3
Tobal 3
Dead Island
Resistance 3
EDIT: Einhander 2. How'd I forget about the best PS1 game ever?
The guy in charge of Square doesn't even know what Einhander is judging from a recent interview.
I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything from Square. Until they lose Wada, they'll continue being a the pile of fail they've been since 2000.

I'm pretty sure I read that. Didn't he say, "What's Einhander? Is it popular in America?"?
Tomba 3 would be nice, but doubtful without the team who made the first two.

Alan Wake might be having its own XBLA game (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430739)
I have a feeling this is a Case Zero/Dead Rising 2 situation, and we'll learn more at E3.
Hopefully it's not just a standalone hour-long DLC that costs $20 instead of 10.
Eh, That's all fine and good but I'd rather have a full on sequel rather than this, which appears to either be a spin-off game or just another episode to the main story.
Yes. (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/classic-style-sonic-generations/714050)
Fuck yes. (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/modern-style-sonic-generations/714052)
I hope we get to see what the next zone to make it into the game is at E3, because my hype is at max.

:'( Multiple levels in one stage!That's exactly what I wanted. And the Green Hill theme makes me :'( every time. It make me feel nostalgia more than absolutely anything.
I actually have high hopes for Sonic Generations. Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors renewed faith in this series for me, but they alone aren't a true comeback.
For the Adventure fans here:

Why didn't none of you sonz of bitcha tell me Moon Driver was already out? Played the demo last night and loved the hell out of it. E3 better have other hack n slashers.
Gryptonite Games is working on a 3DS Shinobi for Sega (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=431207)
Possible E3 announcement (with console version?) inbound. Here's hoping it's Platinum.

Halo 1 remake, GoW XBLA game, and a possible Alan Wake 2 announcement sounds like a solid E3 for MS. Give me a new Shadow Complex and a good SoXBLA and I'll give them a solid.
Speculation!
Nintendo's 2011 E3 > Nintendo's 2010 E3
Honestly, if Microsoft has a Shadow Complex 2 announcement at E3, that'll be enough to redeem them from the rest of what they'll likely put out for this E3, which will likely be a bunch of boring, predictable stuff. An Alan Wake 2 announcement would also help them quite a bit, IMO.
A Halo HD remake would be pretty awesome, but I can't say that I'd be surprised about an announcement like that, honestly.
I just hope MS doesn't have a ton of Kinect crap again. The last year's conference was ass.

Wasn't that announced, like, last year?
Personally, I couldn't care less about Modern Warfare 3 or the HD Halo remake. Gears of War is eh. Hitman 5, though... I can barely contain my erection. Blood Money is easily one of the top 5 best games from this console generation.
Eh, Never been a Hitman fan myself (I always hated its use of stealth mechanics, personally), but I'll admit that its nice to see that the series is still continuing considering that its the one of the only few series with a fresh concept still left in an industry full of Modern Warfare and Gears of War clones (though to be honest I'm looking much more forward to Gears 3 than Hitman, and I'm not even really much of a fan of Gears to begin with; though it is an enjoyable blockbuster game for killing about 8 hours worth of time).
The Halo HD remake may just be the only FPS game that I play this year (assuming that it comes out this year, that is). Well, that and F.3.A.R. as long as Day 1 Studios didn't fuck it up.
Don't get me wrong, I loved (and still love) Halo 1. The thing is, though... it doesn't really need a remake. The AI is still outstanding (plus I don't think the sequels really improved it at all), and it actually has the most satisfying shooting of any game in the series (IMO). The only real problems with that game were in the level design (Assault on the Control Room and The Library being the main offenders), which I doubt would be fixed in the updated version. Sure, updated graphics would be nice, but I feel like time would be better spent on making another sequel or working on a different project entirely.
I can understand you not liking Hitman's stealth mechanics, as they're very different from other games in the genre and some of the earlier titles could occasionally feel broken (or, in the case of Codename 47, always felt broken).
Gears 1 and 2 were great co-op games. I played some of the online beta for the new one at a friend's house and it was pretty solid, if not all that different (the bayonet attachment is awesome, though). But I'm kinda' leery about the potential quality of a downloadable title.
If they fix the later levels of Halo (by you know not having so much repeating level design and the fucking library's infinite loop of crap) and add in some 4 player co-op, I probably would spring for it. That's pretty much the only thing I didn't like from the first game that could be improved that I would love. Otherwise it's a great FPS. But it could use improvement in some areas that could make it perfect.
Also, the rumor is that the Gears game is a Kinect rail shooter... So, it might not even be a DLC title.

If its just a straight HD port, then yes, but I do honestly think that they might actually put some effort into this one to make it a much better experience. As much as I love Combat Evolved, it could have used some improvement which IMO would have turned it from a very good game into a downright great game. I'm hoping that the remake could utilize those improvements. One of them would either be to entirely get rid of The Library to remake the entire level from scratch and actually make it....good, or at least not vomit-inducingly terrible. Honestly, I loved the rest of the game, and I could actually tolerate The Flood quite a bit in the rest of the levels, but my god did The Library push things too far; its a level that does so little yet aggravates me so much.
QuoteI can understand you not liking Hitman's stealth mechanics, as they're very different from other games in the genre and some of the earlier titles could occasionally feel broken (or, in the case of Codename 47, always felt broken).
I think its just the fact that it never made much sense to me. Like, in the very first level of Contracts, for example, I couldn't understand why disguising myself as one of the guards (or S.W.A.T. team or whatever they are) with bullet-proof vest and mask and everything didn't help me in the least (they still spotted me, regardless). I thought that maybe its because I was carrying a different gun than them but even when I found a replicated gun they still noticed me. Then I just tried sneaking around without getting seen, period, but then I always ended up getting spotted by some enemy from off-camera. I'm sure its a great game for those who can really master its mechanics, but I personally lost interest before too long since the logic of the gameplay didn't quite fit with my playing style at all. To be fair, though, I'm not into stealth games to begin with.
QuoteGear 1 and 2 were great co-op games. I played some of the online beta for the new one at a friend's house and it was pretty solid, if not all that different (the bayonet attachment is awesome, though). Kinda' leery about the quality of a downloadable title, though.
The thing about the Gears of War series is that they are perfectly timed in their releases. I played Gears 1 and felt that it was a really, really fun blockbuster game experience (or a movie game as Desensitized would call it), in that it kept me entertained for its short but sweet campaign mode. Its not a game that I would really want to go back to more than once or at all after I beat it, but I certainly enjoyed my time playing through it. The 2nd game came out 2 years later and I was kind of in the mood for an experience like that again, and in that regard it didn't disappoint me with its campaign mode which was pretty much as good as the first game, and once again, it was fun to play through once; actually I did play it again with a friend and it was still fun for the most part, so I'll give it a little bit more credit for being fun to play through again, though I definitely won't go back to it for a long time, or ever, now. Now, as for Gears 3, its once again coming out at a time where I'm not too burned out on the Gears formula because I have had a long enough break from it that I can enjoy it if I play it now. So, I'll likely rent Gears of War 3 when that comes out and I'm sure that I'll have a blast with it playing through its story mode, but after I'm done with it I'll pretty much be done with it for good, which is why I like the Gears of War series but am not a fan of it, either, since its fun but doesn't stay with me or strike me as all that memorable that I want to play through it again.

Have you tried Reach, yet? IMO, It basically does all of the things that a Halo game should do without including most of the issues that have plagued the series since the first game. Its probably the "best" Halo game in terms of gameplay mechanics, IMO (though the first game is still my favorite, if that makes any sense). Of course, if you're burned out on Halo then it won't change your mind about the series at all, but for what it is I thought it was a great entry in the Halo franchise and honestly a pretty good FPS in its own right. Also, it has no Flood whatsoever....I kind of feel that that speaks for itself....
I'm actually very interested in Reach. I still need to get around to it.

My friend coined the term 'Kinept'... You can use that if you prefer.
I don't really see the point of making rail shooters for series that AREN'T rail shooters, though. Just like I don't really want a Virtua Cop FPS.
I just replayed the first level of Contracts a few hours ago, actually. You have to disguise as one of the patients from early in the level (not the dude with the tazer) and put your guns away, then run up to the dead SWAT guy and change into his uniform when no one is looking. Don't pull a weapon out after that where anyone can see it (not even one of their own SMGs... doesn't make sense, I know), and headshot them from behind with your silenced pistol when necessary.
I always thought Desensitized was talking about games like Black Ops (where the AI can literally finish entire levels for you while you watch) when he used the phrase "movie shooters."
Well, as I see it, you basically watch a set piece unfold that never ends until you hit the next 'mark' for the next set piece to begin, much like a Bay movie. The game isn't really dependent on how good you are at killing enemies (Fuck you MW1 and your fucking TV station from hell), just if you can hit the next mark to signal the end of the scene and begin the next one. The fact that the enemies don't really aim for you but at you, causing walls of instant death where reaction time is irrelevant is just a bad side effect to their 'gogogo' design mentality..
GoW reminds me more of a corridor shooter with some movie elements, and IIRC has actual AI, so it doesn't get as infuriating to play at times like say Killzone. Though I have yet to play 2, so for all I know they could have taken some COD inspiration like every other recent shooter.
Fun fact, GoldenEye for the Wii suffers from none of COD's movie shooter issues, has AI despite using the COD engine, stealth that works, and level design you have to navigate instead of muscle your way through. Why the COD games aren't more like that, I have no idea.
I like movie shooters, too. But they really are like a popcorn flick to me. One playthrough and I'm done for good.
Can you provide any examples of movie shooters other than the non-numbered CoDs? Can't really think of any, surprisingly enough. :SHOCK:
Well, while its nothing at all like CoD, the Uncharted games are pretty much the definition of movie games. They are almost purely made up of scripted events and AI is almost non-existent in those games. Are they fun games to play, though, yes....but just like other movie games, I'm done with them after just one time through (personally, anyways).
Not to say I don't mind set pieces, but I do prefer if you wouldn't play set pieces, but instead play
through them with solid game mechanics. Like BioShock, Half Life, or Halo has things going on around you, but doesn't force you play through them a certain way or oops you died do it this specific way and do it again.

Yep, Uncharted is definitely one. Killzone would be another, Medal Of Honor (the recent one) and its ilk, too.
Not to say there's anything wrong with these games, but IMO, they're all flash and are rarely ever worth more than one playthrough.
Aliens: Colonial Marines will most likely be at E3. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=431908)

Halo 1 remake, GoW XBLA game, and a possible Alan Wake 2 announcement sounds like a solid E3 for MS. Give me a new Shadow Complex and a good SoXBLA and I'll give them a solid.
Besides Halo 1 remake, fuck those other games. Gimme Battletoads 4 and Jet Force Gemini 3. I wonder they still have the rights to Shadowrun and the rumored remake is being made. If so, they gimme that too.
Silent Hill Collection (2 and 3)
Metal Gear Solid Collection (Raiden Shitfest Boogaloo, 3 and Peace Walker)
Zone Of The Enders Collection (1 and 2)
New Contra game tease
All for PS360 announced at Konami's conference.
Not a bad day for a bad company. Three collections each with 2 good games and a brand new Contra game that hopefully isn't a 3D turd.
Sega's E3 line up (//http://From%20the%20award-winning%20first-person%20shooter%20powerhouse%20Gearbox%20Software%20comes%20Aliens:%20Colonial%20Marines,%20the%20highly%20anticipated%20horror-based%20action%20FPS%20set%20in%20the%20Aliens%E2%84%A2%20universe%20with%20cooperative%20multiplayer%20at%20its%20core.)
No new announcements, so here's hoping we get VC3 and it will be a great E3 for them. That's really the only thing missing from them that I want.
Halo 4, Halo CE Remastered, Ryse, Voice Search Feature and More All Revealed Early (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=432650)
So there's that.
By the way, I edited the title, I hope you don't mind! :happytime:
Seriously, Microsoft, all I need is an announcement for Shadow Complex 2 and that'll be enough to redeem you from however crappy the rest of your E3 show might be. I mean, after all, didn't the first game sell really well (or in this case get a ton of downloads)?
So far Microsoft has shown off 2 games that I'm not very interested in. I've never cared about Call of Duty, and the new Tomb Raider looks like just another movie game in the vein of Uncharted. Oh well, its still just the beginning, but I'm pretty underwhelmed so far.
Mass Effect 3 looks good, but I still need to play the 2nd one. The Kinect features are totally gimmicky, though. I really don't think that'll convince anyone to buy a Kinect just for shit like that.

Not watching the E3 stuff. What are they?
Tomb Raider reboot = Uncharted
The revolver is in the top drawer, Foggle.
Yeah, its pretty much a carbon copy of Uncharted, which is a real shame since Tomb Raider didn't need to go this route at all, IMO.
I'm really digging those updated visuals for Halo: Combat Evolved 10th Anniversary edition. Damn, I'm definitely picking up this game when it comes out.
Too much Kinect stuff, but I did get a kick out of Halo showing the Library under "remastered levels" or whatever.
Hope Halo 4 footage impresses.
Yeah....I'm not interested in Kinect. Sorry, Microsot, but this E3 show isn't for me. Though, I will admit, the Fable demo amused me a little.
STOP SHOWING THIS KINECT SHIT!!! They've been at it for like 15 minutes and some how I'm starting to hate motion sensoring even more. Oh lord, more Kinect.
Yeah, this is now the MS 2010 conference. Interest lost.
My Alan Wake hopes are fading with each mention of Kinect.
Eh, At least this time I can't say that I'm disappointed since this is pretty much exactly what I was expecting them to do. Microsoft is way more interested in suckering the casual gamers into buying their products than in satisfying any core gamers.

Voice is Kinect's only interesting feature. Anyway, the only thing that made that demo great was:
1. It was live ME3 footage. 'Nuff said.
2. Teh omni-tool attack. Loved the crowds reaction.
Anyway, all I saw that I liked was Gears 3 by default, that demo wasn't anything special, surprisingly Modern Warfare 3...oh and of course Mass Effect 3, my most anticipated game.....ah sweet, Halo 4 was officially announced. I thought they'd just show more motion sensoring BULLSHIT.
Half shooter-fest, half 2010 conference. Pretty disappointing.
So I got Halo 1 remake to look forward to my 360 and the worst SoXBLA line up yet. Bad showing, MS.
Two questions for people who watched:
What's the Kinect shit do in Mass Effect 3? I don't play the Xbox version, but my friend does, and he HATES Kinect. Also, will the Halo HD remake also be on PC? Not that I expect it to be...

1. Voice recognition. You can tell your characters to move and shoot. You can shoose dialogue options with your voice. A couple of camera angles made me think Dragon Age 2, and that's a bit scary to think about.
2. there will not be a PC version for any reason other than it's Microsoft.
Also, the SoXBLA line up blows ass.
I'm just going to watch the Nintendo E3. :P
I'll admit, that trailer was pretty cool, but I still haven't seen much gameplay at all, so I can hardly judge it. Still, it looks like classic cheese-grade story that I would expect from an NG game in a good sort of way, so this has temporarily restored a slight amount of my faith that this might be a decent game. As it stands, though, I still need to see some real actual gameplay in the form of a demo to see how I really feel about this game, and there better be one since Hayashi promised a "playable" demo at E3.
The new villain looks pretty cool, BTW. I was hoping for a humanoid villain since they make the best boss fights in the 3D NG games (like Evil Clone Ryu from the 1st game and Genshin from the 2nd game).

Quote2. there will not be a PC version for any reason other than it's Microsoft.
I figured as much. I'll still be getting it, of course, but that's kind of disappointing all the same. Gearbox did a great job with the port of the original (they added online multiplayer and mod support all on their own!).
While the announcement of Tomb Raider: Lara's Fortune is a bit disappointing, I don't really care that much. Of Eidos' five flagship series (the others being Legacy of Kain, Thief, Deus Ex, and Hitman), it was always the weakest, IMO. Deus Ex is better than ever, I have complete confidence in the team behind Thief 4 (it's the Human Revolution devs), and Hitman will probably continue down the path forged by Blood Money, so 3 out of 5 are in excellent shape. But we still need a new Soul Reaver (and a new Fear Effect, while they're at it) as soon as possible.
I don't want to give up on Lara but dammit, that was way too movie like.
I was watching it with a friend and we let out a very loud sigh when we saw the camera snap into the traditional Uncharted style.
So FPS game continue to be COD-lite, and TPS will ape Uncharted.
Oh well, here's hoping halo 4 is at least interesting. No Alan Wake anything sucks, though.
More importantly, no Battletoads sequel.

Thank god for Bulletstorm, Duke Nukem Forever, Serious Sam 3, F.E.A.R. 3, and Halo HD all in the same year. :thumbup:
Yeah, Microsoft basically blew this E3 big-time. Oh well, at least we all still have Nintendo's showing to look forward to, but I still don't own a Nintendo. :(
Oh BTW, apparently the CIA-chick talking to Ryu in that NG trailer is "supposed" to be Irene according to rumor (who I would assume anyone who has played any of the NES games would be familiar with). Just thought I'd share that little bit of tid-bit info for the hell of it. I have to admit, though, it'd actually be kind of cool to see the 3D NG games's interpretations of the original NES games.
Skyrim actually looks interesting. The characters are still a bit too stiff but so far so good.
Liked the Arkham City gameplan. Catwoman being playable is a surprise my ass. Everyone already knew that. I wish the combat had less watching but that's of course asking for too much. Glad to see the best DC villain, Two-Face, in the game.

I was actually listening closely to his voice and it sounded different. Maybe it's the same guy and it changed with age. Not sure. I do know they need to get the original Jim Gordon back (unless he died or something)
Also, do you have Spike? I have a shitty laptop so that's what I'm watching.
I..want...Modern...Warfare...3.
And Resistance 3.
Uh oh, they just confirmed in the Halo remake that you can toggle between the "original" and anniversary" graphics... I guess that means no fixed level design. Because the last quarter of the game fucking needs it.

I'm worried because I don't want BioWare to make it into a DA2 disaster.
I don't know jack shit about Dragon Age.
Thank God, my satellite is back up. I hope the new SSX is actually good and I hope they kept that avalanche shit in a campaign mode.
New Insomniac game looks to have hand to and combat and shooting with crazy guns. Trailer was also pretty funny.
That and seeing Battlefield 3 in action was quite cool.
Already beats MS's stinker.
What was the name of that game? Over something? I believe I heard Steven Jay Blum's voice in that game and Arkham City (as the big guy in the Catwoman demo)
Overstrike.

Can't wait for him to talk about how he wiped off his screen.
I missed the part when they said it was an Insomniac game but it does look good. What won me over was the fact that the squad mates had so much personality. Now that's just rare.
Loved the Mass Effect 3 demo they just showed on Spike. I'm surprised they brought Mordin back as a squadmate. Thought he'd be in the backgrounf.
Reminded me of No One Lives Forever meets Timesplitters with R&C's writing. L4D style co-op would be perfect, as well.
Good show, Insomniac! I wasn't expecting that to look so good.
Overstrike looks pretty cool. That was an awesome trailer, but I'd like to see some gameplay (its probably too early in development since it was just announced, though). Count it as a game that I'll keep my eye out for.

Wii U is a dumb name, but it had some good announcements and is fully BC with the Wii.

Ninty released 3D trailers for all their 3DS games shown at E3. I'm downloading them as a I type this.
The only thing I liked from the Nintendo press conference is Link's Awakening being downloadable and other Gameboy Color games for Virtual Console. About fucking time.
Watching Sony's press conference now. I loved the Uncharted 3 gameplay and Resistance 3 is coming up next.
Nintendo's was great. I give it an 8.5/10.
I just noticed that Aliens Colonial Marines confirms both Unreal Engine on the system and that the screen will be the greatest use possible for an Aliens game.
Motion fucking tracker.
Love you, Gearbox. don't dissapoint.

Thanks Desen. Sonic Generations is why I came here.
Wii U looks cool and all, but am I the only one here who thinks that the controller design looks... well... bad? It seems bulky, cumbersome, and uncomfortable; not unlike the Xbox 1 controller.
If I've learned anything from Nintendo, its that their tech is cooler hands-on than in a sales presentation.
Expect to see everybody change their tune about the WiiU come this winter.
I just saw some new E3 gameplay footage for Anarchy Reigns. I have to be honest....I'm not too terribly impressed with it. The game looks OK, but the combat looks pretty underwhelming compared to their previous games, to be honest, and the frame-rate looks a bit too buggy at times. Perhaps the game will improve with time, but so far this is the first Platinum Games game that I'm not really all that excited for or interested in. Its kind of disappointing, but it still won't be released until early next year, so perhaps it will improve with time.
Asura's Wrath looks so fucking janky and generic.
Capcom sucks.
At least it looks half-way decent compared to that DmC gameplay trailer. Capcom really needs to be shot in the ass for that.
In fact, I don't blame Ninja Theory at all. They aren't a developer suited to make a DMC game at all, but all they are doing is making it in their own way (which IMO is full of really stupid design choices but that's just from my point of view). I blame whichever idiot at Capcom decided it would be a good idea to outsource the development of a DMC game to them in the first place.
The WU version of Aliens WILL in fact use the controller as a motion tracker! (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=433175)

Eh, I think I was just cranky yesterday because I didn't get enough sleep the last few days.
I'm looking over the E3 stuff again and there seems to be a solid showing of games. It's just sad that most of them were overlooked since the major conferences were so focused on boasting about their systems new capabilities and how much support they have for them. That's probably what frustrated me, too much focus on the future rather than what's coming out soon. That and nothing made me cry manly tears like last year with the Donkey Kong Country Returns trailer.
So far, I'm really anticipating Paper Mario, King of Fighters XIII, Dragon's Crown, Luigi's Mansion 2, Super Mario 3DS, Street Fighter x Tekken, and Sound Shapes. I was also reminded Douk Nukem Forever and Catherine is coming out soon, so I have those to breeze through during the summer. I guess a 3DS is definitely on my Christmas list now with all these Mario titles coming out around the same time.

Eh, I think I was just cranky yesterday because I didn't get enough sleep the last few days.
I'm looking over the E3 stuff again and there seems to be a solid showing of games. It's just sad that most of them were overlooked since the major conferences were so focused on boasting about their systems new capabilities and how much support they have for them. That's probably what frustrated me, too much focus on the future rather than what's coming out soon. That and nothing made me cry manly tears like last year with the Donkey Kong Country Returns trailer.
So far, I'm really anticipating Paper Mario, King of Fighters XIII, Dragon's Crown, Luigi's Mansion 2, Super Mario 3DS, Street Fighter x Tekken, and Sound Shapes. I was also reminded Douk Nukem Forever and Catherine is coming out soon, so I have those to breeze through during the summer. I guess a 3DS is definitely on my Christmas list now with all these Mario titles coming out around the same time.
I think what's bothering me is the crappy E3 coverage this year. I must have seen 500 different Uncharted 3 previews, but I haven't seen anyone talk about Renegade OPs (which looks like a revamp of Jackal), Heroes Of Ruin, Shinobi, or any DLC games. Coverage used to be wider scale than this.
But yeah, the one real fault was the lack of a big megaton announcement. The closest we got was probably Luigi's Mansion 2 and Smash Bros going to both 3DS and the new system. Everything else was kind of expected.
As far as E3's go, it's solid. Nothing too amazing.
E3 has sucked so far. Motion sensoring is ruining the convention.
