E3!

E3!

...

Yeah!

So, what do you look forward to seeing at E3? Personally, I'm hoping for some new things on the Wii, specifically games. I want to see how The Conduit does with its gameplay demo, and I want to see more of SADNESS and Project H.A.M.M.E.R., if they're not on the way to cancellation. I already have too much to like on the PS3 and X-Box 360, so I'm not really looking forward to their E3 Conferences.

What about you? What do you look forward to seeing or hearing about? Or do you not really care about E3?

This card is here to note that the topic is most definitely going to change in less than a day.

I wanna see The Conduit, fo sho. Also hoping for some kind of announcement from the big N regarding online (maybe something involving their pay-to-play service they mentioned months back). Other than that, maybe just some new hardcore games for the system. I'm getting a little disappointed at the lack of big titles coming out, though I know it's to be expected with it being summer and all.

In Sony's camp, I'm curious about the future system models/bundles. I know they don't plan to drop the price but there's a lot of rumors regarding changed units and bundles, especially with the 80gb seeming like such a short term thing. Still really hopeful that they might push for PS2 BC on the 40gb through software (maybe even the PS2 downloads on PSN thing being true?). Basically I got converted and want a PS3 now, but PS2 BC is a dealbreaker for me, so anything regarding that is big news for myself.

Nothing in particular exciting me from MS... I know they just dropped the 360 prices. I don't know too much about new games coming out for it, though, so nothing hyping me up too much.

There's some games I wish were showing that aren't (Brutal Legend, FFXIII), but I guess we'll see them with time.

I want someone to tell me that Elveon is still in development

And they should resurrect that True Fantasy Live Online game xD

Duke Nukem Forever

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Hoping for a Zelda announcement for the Wii. *crosses fingers*

It'd be cool if there was an announcement about FF XIII but from a link I saw earlier (I think it was JKTrix who gave the link), Squeenix has no FF up its sleeve for E3, though maybe an announcement later in the year is possible?

A Wii Star Fox that gets rid of on-foot levels and arena crap and just lets me fly straight and shoot things.

I want to know what Nintendo EAD and Bungie are working on. The less likely prospect of something from Team Ico is also exciting.

Also bring back the 64 voice actors.

Okay I know it'll never happen but I can wish

Maybe Namco could reveal that PS3 Tales game they're so obviously working on.

Every year I cross my fingers and wish for Golden Sun 3 and every year I'm disappointed. xP I do the same thing for Viewtiful Joe 3.

Yeah what the heck happened? Years ago it was all but announced and going to be for GameCube. Then *pfft* nothing.. :(

I'm eager to see God of War III's big unveiling, hopefully some gameplay can be shown. I'm also interested in seeing Twisted Metal PS3, Wipeout PS3, Madworld, Team Ico's new project and see what Sony's secret project is that floored critics a few months ago (I suspect its Heavy Rain). I'm also wondering what is going to be shown for the DS and PSP. Because the rest of the year looks barren for both handhelds.

I hope Nintendo are going to push Madworld and not another god-damn Zelda or anything, and please not another peripheral.

Microsoft will probably be the least interesting, the only thing I'd be interested in seeing is Dead Rising 2.

[JKTrix]

Project H.A.M.M.E.R.

I think this one died back in September.

Microsoft, Nintendo & Sony will all be having their press conferences streamed live over the internet. I know Gamespot, IGN and G4TV.com are guaranteed to be hosting these streams. G4 may be doing it live on TV as well. You can expect Gametrailers to have them downloadable shortly after they finish, and I know that the 1UP Show will be having special episodes throughout the week that will probably condense the conferences and analyze them a bit.

Microsoft's is first at 1PM EST today. Nintendo is at 12 EST tomorrow and Sony is at 2:30 EST on the same day.

Square-Enix's conference is today as well, but I doubt there will be any streams of that.

What I would like to see:
Wii - Wii Music. Been hearing rumblings of Pikmin 3 and Animal Crossing on the Wii, so that would be alright. 'Kid' Icarus featuring and Adult Pit from Factor 5 was also part of those rumblings, but I don't really care 'bout that. I'd like to see more new stuff though, whether it's the next Wii Sports/Wii Fit kind of thing or something more 'core'. We also haven't seen anything from Nintendo themselves on 'WiiWare', so they could be planning some good stuff.
DS - I want Band Brothers to come out in English. I want Soma Bringer to come out in English. Generally, I want Nintendo to bring out more of their Japanese 1st party games that are neither 'Touch Generations' or titles we expect. I wouldn't complain about a New Super Mario Bros 2 though.

Sony has a good opportunity to make a really strong showing. If they only showed God of War 3 and a new FF13 trailer, I think they'd be able to skate by on just that. They already have Resistance and Killzone 2 coming which are supposed to be major releases. Don't know what more they can say about LittleBigPlanet. Would like to see info on Home becoming available, either a release or a more public beta. Not sure if I expect anything particularly 'new' from the hardware/1st party side of things.

Microsoft probably has to work a little harder than Nintendo and Sony. Wii has been riding high since it came out, and the PS3 is still on an upswing from MGS4's release. I suspect they have something fairly big in store though, as they've been pushing Gears of War 2 coverage over the past few weeks outside of E3. This leads me to assume that they have something else that they don't want to have Gears and 'this game' competing for attention at E3. A hunch says it's something Halo-related. It may or may not be from Bungie. Or it may and may not be from Bungie (meaning 2 Halo games). Hmm.

I have other small things I want to see from 3rd parties, but most of the focus is on the Big 3.

Every year I cross my fingers and wish for Golden Sun 3 and every year I'm disappointed. xP I do the same thing for Viewtiful Joe 3.

Yeah what the heck happened? Years ago it was all but announced and going to be for GameCube. Then *pfft* nothing..

If you're talking about Golden Sun, Camelot recently finished a Golf game which has been their focus for the last good while. We could be hearing something Camelot-related with Nintendo soon, if not at E3 then maybe in Tokyo.

[Dreddz]

Camelot should announce another Shining Force game, not another Golden Sun. Geez....
