Yes, I think Nintendo will be a big player at E3.  However, I really don\'t care about anyone other than Konami this time.  Metal Gear Solid 2, Silent Hill 2, Suikoden III.... That\'s heaven in my world. :)

I think the biggest showings will be Nintendo, Sony, Blizzard (for us blizzard fans), and Microsoft, in that order.

Well, I think for Nintendo it\'s E3 or never (since they haven\'t shown gamecube media), so E3 will be massive for them...  Sony will have tons of stuff going on too, but I hope they have some suprises.  Even without they\'ll be strong.  Microsoft seems weak from what they\'ve announced, but they might have some tricks to pull.

Nintendo kind of HAS to make an excellent showing at E3.

Who knows, they\'ve had there mouth shut all this time they might have some stuff that will completely blow us out of the water.

Sega. duh. :)

They have 11 X-Box games to show off (some are supposedly playable.)

Many GC games to show off (hopefully a texture laced taste of things to come)

and VF4 and Project K for PS2 to show off! I am very excited!

Plus DC still has great games coming that they will show. Sonic Adventure 2, Shenmue 2, Alien Front Online, College Football, NFL2K2, Half Life, Soldier of Fortune, PSO v 2, etc!!

Mind you, the impact won\'t be as great, but pound for pound, they will show the most qaulity per quantity at e3.

Sega, with all the third party related titles in development.

NIntendo, maybe. They really HAVE to have a huge impact at E3 as they have been extremely quiet about the GC and the supposed launch is drawing close.

I believe MS will also have a extremely strong showing.

Why am I not surprised? ;)


I think it will be a great show, and everyone will have tons of goodies to show.

I wish Valve would show TF2, but it ain\'t happening.

Well, Nintendo better have a good showing.  I\'m looking forward to what they\'ve got to throw out on the floor.  I\'m getting tired of them not showing anything so it\'s about time they did!

Konami of course!  They\'re going to have this major surprise with a brand new DDR arcade game, except with more interactivity then just stepping on the 4 arrows (8 if you play Double) that are given!  Of course I\'m joking but it would be cool!!  

Blizzard definately.  Can we say that they\'re the best developer in the world and not have an argument.  I think so!  The record to my knowledge is perfect.  Every one of their games have been a massive hit with the fans!!  I know ther\'s not many, but Diablo 1+2, Warcraft 1+2, and of course the beloved Starcraft!  Maybe we\'ll all get lucky and they\'ll show us a Starcraft 2 or create a brand new series to empty the pockets of us game hungry players.  They rule!!!  Anyone else agree?

I\'m going nintendo here as well. They\'ve been so tight lipped for so long, and the whole reason for this was E3. They know, that if they really want to take attention back to their side they have to have a high impact showing in one go. To leak out little pieces of info successively would be good, but ultimately "unclimactic"..... to show EVERYTHING in one go will assure nintendo that they have the eyes and ears of everyone on them. They\'re showing all their launch software, their launch price, and any other details that need to be known. In my opinion, nintendo will be the one to upstage for sure....

MS will have a good showing, but as i already said, there\'s no more mystery about it, all they have left to reveal are games in development, new shots of games that have been in development for a while, playable demos etc etc.

Sega have a chance to show people WHY they can survive outside the hardware world, and I think they\'ll have an awesome showing too.

Sony too will have a good showing, with all the awaited blockbusters being on show, and hopefully some unexpected new projects etc.

But in my opinion, it\'s Nintendo this  year...

Bill Gates of Corse !

He is going to steel the show by doing what he told me he is going to do last night.

Thats right he going to do some Naked SWORD swollowing on the Microsoft stage.

Go Bill GO !

But Seriously

MS will have there Great games on show

Show will PS2 and Gamecube.

i think its safe to say that all the formats will have there greats shown for all to see.

The real question is WHO is going to look bad at E3 ?

Will anyone beat 3DO for that title ?

Who knows maybe the hated 989 studios will dazzle us with some super good game.

Or even a Sony mascot who is fatter than Mario and cooler than Sonic.

Lets not forget that Microsoft could pull a Totally SAMEFUL PR stunt buy Using a WWF star to show of their console.

Ahhh too late they have already done that one :laughing:.

Ah cheere up Bill you can always use another one of them.

My be one of the less well know one\'s like THE ONE BILLY GUN :rolleyes:.

The Nintendo area should be the most interesting, after all we don\'t know much about the console at all, let alone the games.

Also Sony\'s area should be very good. Up until now the PS2 hasn\'t been the wonderful console we all hoped for but its these future games that keep our faiths alive so it should be interesting to find out loads more information about them.

I can\'t see the Sega area being that great. They have left the hardware market, where all the others have hardware (X-Box, NGC and Sony\'s Broadband Adapter prehaps). This makes them just another software developer, and I would sooner see some Konami stuff.

OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I have a feeling Blizzard won\'t be releasing SC2 anytime soon what with Diablo 2 X-Set, WarCraft 3, and their secret project which they announced will not be SC2. :(

1. nintendo needs a great show. supposedly they have the most amount of floor space at e3 so they will use it... im sure they will have games running on final hardware, theve had that for awhile, but it has not been released yet... they have been holding back, and i think it will be good..otherwise, if they show crap, you can say bye bye :(

2. sony has to beat microsoft at this show.:smokin: they are both competing for the same target audience( and market share), if sony does a price drop(it is rumored $50 american or above drop at e3), a very smart and deadly move and shows off a slew of AAA games, its new hardrive+eithernet adapter, it will beat microsoft with no trouble in my opinion...:D

3. microsoft has no choice but to pull a perfect show... they recently got their new finalized chipset, and they need games running on final hardware.(that may be tough to pull considering they only got them finished a week ago, and like 2 of the finalized x boxes died while running :( ) they need to show much more then abe and the pc port: Halo to win this one. and im sure bill knows it :D

Software companies:
Ensemble studios will be showing off the new beta version of AGE OF MYTHOLOGY, the sequel to age of empires II, The age of kings. this game is fully 3d (for the first time in the age of empire series) it looks very good.
 Konami will have a great show, and so will square with its great number of ps2 AAA titles announced, FFX FFXI MGS2 and so on.

I think it will be between nintendo and sony for #1 microsoft in third,
i dont know about developers :D

Sega will have the most mouth watering set of games across al formats.  But i think nintendo will steal the limelight with some extra special news about their console.

EThuggs booth will be the best!:D I\'ll be announcing over 3,000 games, and a new system!!!! Unfortunately, my booth will be a restroom stall, and my games, all fake. Even my EThugg3000 system that\'s 256bit won\'t really come out.... :( So much for the dream....



Seriously, I think there will be so many great things at this E3, there won\'t be one winner.

I think Nindendo will have the best show, followed by Microsoft, SEGA and Sony.
