How will SOny do at E3

Nintendo only plans to have about 5 games for Japanese release of GC, and E3 is soon after that so will see.

Well we should clarify, Nintendo set 5 as the minimum that NCL will produce. They did not rule out the possibility of more. And again, Capcom said they are trying to be ready for the Japanese launch, possibly others will as well.

Konami is probably a good bet since they support everything like Capcom (Konami was one of the biggest Japanese supporters of the N64), and they also started a joint venture with Nintendo (Mobile 21, mentioned briefly above), which is working on GBA and GC games, as well as ways to connect the 2.

Also E3 is before Nintendo\'s launch. And just like with the PS2, it seems like the American groups are preparing more for the American launch. Just like it would look odd to have Madden at the PS2\'s Japanese launch, a lot of the games above are geared more towards for an American audience.

Demo\'s are allright, but how many games will be playable

I thought we were talking about attracting hype. In that regard, I think we learned last year that a game doesn\'t have to be playable to wow the crowds. People may see more than they\'ll play (I\'m hoping to make it there this year myself), but that doesn\'t mean they won\'t walk away impressed.

I think that Sony will have a lot of new games that haven\'t been seen yet.  We still haven\'t even heard one thing about Naughty Dog\'s new game (It\'s been more than a year!  Come on Naughty Dog!  Show us something!)  If they show this game, and if it\'s anything like Naughty Dog says it will be like (using the PS2 how it was ment to be used), I think this game alone will win E3 it for Sony.

I am also looking forward to seeing the Xbox, GB Advanced, and yes, even the Gamecube.  Like many have already said, this E3 is going to rock!

**Off Topic**
Gohan, is that picture of Gohan from "The History of Trunks" movie?

yes, but it was also co-developed by Sonic  software planners (sonic team?) and Sega in general. BTW, when did Camelot get bought out or go 2nd party for Nintendo and why???!! Smart move by the big N.

How in the world could either of them win E3 ?????

MS already said 10 playable games at E3, just 10.

Nintendo\'s GC will probably have 5 or so, and GBA isn\'t going to win E3 so to speak.


SOny will have some 50 or so titles all playable and Sega will too, and that will attract the most attention

XBox, and GC will do better in 2002 E3 when they have a years worth of software. [/B]

   You guys still don\'t get it,do you?  Its not the amount of titles but the quality of titles.  I have yet to see even one quality title that the PS2 has to offer other than Madden 2001.  GT3 and MGS2 are both going to be great quality titles I am sure, but thats only two and MGS2 is already on Xbox.

   If there was so much quality, then why are you waiting for March with baited Breath.  oh and about the Xbox, they said they were going to show at least ten titles, but thats not the nailed down number and not only that, I am sure they will do like Sony did last year and show unfinished movies of games that they are working on.

   Not to introduce any flames into this, but its pretty much common knowledge that the PS2 does lack in quality right now and its flagship title is MGS2.  If you took that one title away the PS2 would be next to worthless.  I mean look how disapointing bouncer is....  Anyone want the sad title "The flintstones"?  Did you see the PSX quality on that title, how about Triple Play 2002?  Anyone see the lack of quality in this title?

   I know you all want to look on the bright side, but sometimes you have to not be biased and look at what the real facts are.  Rose colored glasses can kill ya.

 

It is going to take a gargantuan effort to topple Nintendo IMO. You cannot underestimate the power of Mario and company.

Sega and Sony should do great though, I actually think Microsoft will bomb after all the hype they have built up. Everyone expected Sony to win last year but they had a surprisingly lacklustre showing compared to what was expected and I expect Microsoft has dug themselves in the same hole.

Both ps2 and DC will have way more games than NGC and xbox

the anounced xbox titels don\'t look that great and GC is still a mystery to me (keep in mind that nintendo will have quality over quantity)

I think there will be no real winnner or loser

game to look out to

Mario Cubed
Zelda Cubed
Metroid
MGS2 and X
Silent hill 2
FF XI and X
Soul caliber and Tekken 4???
Halo
EA games


there r way more to mention!

That number is just internally developed games. Nintendo "themselves" are going to release at least 5 games for GCNs japan launch. That figure does not include second and third party launch titles.

I cannot wait for E3.

Im sure sony will kick arse. But ill be firsly heading over to the Nintendo Booth to check out GaMeCuBe !

I cannot wait till this years E3.

Imagine the ammount of AAA titles on the show, its going to be the best show of all time!All of the consoles are going to do great (Yes,inculding good old DC!)I seriously wonder if the psOne is still such a success wether there be any titles for it on the show??ps is still the most popular console around.

ddaryl,
I was just wondering why you type sony, SOny.

That\'s because he knows something we don\'t.

Nah, it\'s just because he types so fast that sometimes he doesn\'t let go of SHIFT before the writes the \'o\' in Sony. So it becomes SOny.

I believe Sony will attract most of the viewers this year because they have been in the dark since November 2000.

No one knows what they have been doing, no one knows what Square has done, they both have been quite, it\'s going to be interesting to see what both have up there sleeves.

I\'m sure Sony knows what X-Box can deliver,  X-box has alot of outside support like the WWF, helping them out.  I really don\'t think Sony needs outside celebrities to hype their product up.
