Title: That E3 thing?
Post by: Eiksirf on July 21, 2008, 10:25:02 AM

Remember when we cared? Or maybe we just care elsewhere now.

Any links to a write up of Sony\'s press conference?

heh.... I used to be all over it... now I quickly browse gametrailers for anything that interests me...
Now that I think about it, I find myself mostly oogling at games that are sequels to games from the old days, like street fighter 4, soul calibur 4 and the like...
This weekend I repurchased a genesis with 18 games and a master system with 3 and some old ps1 games among which tobal no.1(!) time crisis, tekken1, pandemonium and some more I can\'t remember.... and... I\'m currently playing lufia on the good ole snes again, that game is still awesome.
We must be getting old...

I still keep track of what happens pretty closely.

Best little tidbit for me personally was finding out Bioware is making a Star Wars MMO.


Can\'t wait.

They should name it Star Wars Galaxies and it will be the best game ever.

I found some links to press conference wrap ups.  Pretty tame stuff. There will be Wii Sports 2 with a more accurate remote and a GTA game on Nintendo DS, that\'s about the only surprise among all three companies.

Microsoft is changing around Live a little bit to accomodate Miis and feature some new channels.

The best news from E3 is that the games we want are progressing along just fine. Street Fighter, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Resistance, Gears of War.

I\'m also interested in Mirror\'s Edge, Shaun White Snowboarding has potential...

microsoft\'s netflix deal where subscribers can download movies for free is the only really cool part of the live overhaul.

but E3 is about the business side of things now..the consumers get E for all, tokyo, etc. hence why it\'s boring to us.

games im excited about:
Mirror\'s Edge
Fallout 3 (except for the pausing shit..looked stupid..but u dont need to use it)
Resident Evil 5
Brothers in Arms- probably going to pass on it since there\'s so many games
STALKER: Clear Sky
Little Big Planet
Killzone 3
Star Wars force unleashed- Same as BoA
Far Cry 2
Gears 2
Resistance 2
Left 4 Dead
Prince of Persia- Have to see more still

that wasn\'t off the top of my head, I was looking through gamespot. But damn there\'s a lot of games. Even ones like Fable 2 and Spore that people like but i don\'t

Resident Evil 5 - March 13, 2009

WTFOMGBBQ

It better be damn good... but I\'ll probably end up buying it either way.  That and Little Big Planet seem like keepers.

I\'m pretty excited for Left 4 Dead also.

Not many new titles announced this year. I was kind of disappointed with this year\'s E3.

More or less we are interested on the same titles.

BTW Gears of War 2 looks fucking amazing. The video in Live was  jaw dropping!!

E3 has sucked for a long time now. It\'s a shame also, as it use to be the event for us nerds.

I\'ven ever been as underwhelmed as this year. But mainly it\'s because we already knew about all the big games coming up, so there wasn\'t really a point to even having the show.
