Here's some times for the various events and conferences, via 1UP: http://www.e3.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160863 As the link says, they'll be streaming some of the conferences live via their website. Sony and Microsoft will both be "bringing E3 home" to their users, and I think they'll both stream their conferences on their websites. I'm sure some other sites will as well, and G4 will also be showing off the conferences live in case you do not have Internet access (or no broadband). So yeah...lots of options, unlike years before. For some reason, something on my end is acting up when I put too much stuff in a post (why I didn't quote the times and events...maybe someone else can), so I'll just have to leave it at that for now. Hopefully this doesn't become too much of a problem during the week. It is really annoying.
Games that I'm looking forward to seeing the most: (All xbox360) Halo 3 Mass Effect Assasin's Creed Bioshock NBA 2k8 Fable 2 PGR2 Fallout 3
ASSassIN looks like an awesome game. That's one of the few games I'm lookin forward too. That, and crysis.
Smash brothers, metroid, and even though i will probably never play it the game Boogie. IM curious to see how they pull that off. could be the next guitar hero...only bigger. cola, do you remember a game that the wii showed when it first came out...I think it was called Disaster, or something like that. Basically it was an action/RPG and there was several natural disasters that you had to go through They hyped it a lot, but i havent heard anything about it.
I'm excited that it will actually be playable at E3. I've been losing interest in the game, but maybe gameplay will change my mind. They got Ace Combat 6...but that's not a flight sim AFAIK. Good luck finding one of those on a console. Rock Band will probably be the next Guitar Hero. I may have to re-familiarize myself with Boogie, but I didn't really get that impression from the game. Yeah, it was called Disaster: Day of Crisis. Last I heard was a rumor about Nintendo making the game more casual and family-friendly...or something like that. Made some people mad, but it was just a rumor. We'll see if/when they show it again. I got my issue fixed I think, so I'll go ahead and post the times and events in this thread: 1UP will also have podcasts and episodes of the 1UP Show done just about every day this week (check out full schedule at link on that). Gametrailers has their top 10 most anticipated games of E3: <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gtembed" width="480" height="409"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=21381"/> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=21381" swLiveConnect="true" name="gtembed" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="409"></embed> </object> Here's the first realtime/in-game picture of Killzone PS3 (from IGN): If you're looking forward to Heavenly Sword (PS3), GamerTV had a show dedicated to it (lots of exclusive footage and info). Check it out here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3CHHQ3A8 http://www.mininova.org/tor/783329 (torrent) It has a lot of spoilers (IMO), so some may want to avoid it.
http://www.nintendic.com/news/691 for those guitar hero fans. They released the wii controller for it. You attack the remote to the guitar as well as the nun-chuck with th joy stick in easy reach...i've never played but the movement adds some cool possibilities
Anyone else watching? It sucks that G4 keeps breaking away for ads. Isn't Crash a Sony franchise? Good looking games so far.
I'm watching on G4 and on Gamespot when G4 cuts away. I think you may have missed the new controller for the 360. I'll give my comments later on I guess. Crash was made by a Sony developer, but someone else owned the IP (Univsersal or something...I think Viviendi might own it right now).
OMG i hate G4 even more now! How DARE they cut away right in the middle of the HALO3 gameplay trailer! those bastards! luckily i had the gamespot feed running on my computer. but cmon!
G4 was pretty crappy the whole night. IIRC, they cut out a trailer for Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, Viva Pinata, and the announcement of the new controller. On the other hand, they showed Peter Moore rocking out, Reggie Bush playing Madden, Peter Moore using PowerPoint, etc. They supposedly tried to coordinate their commercial breaks with the companies so that they wouldn't miss anything big. Almost seems like they were trying to miss the big things. Hope it is better for the other two conferences (although I probably won't get to watch either one live...I always miss a lot of E3 live for some reason). Kind of thought the Microsoft conference was a bit disappointing, but probably because I'm familiar with a lot of the 2007 titles. I wanted to see more of Alan Wake, Fable 2, Halo Wars, etc. The games they showed looked nice though. The Resident Evil 5 trailer was a big surprise (almost thought it was MGS4 at first though), and it looked amazing. Assassin's Creed looked good, but it needs lot of work (lots of glitches). COD4 looked great, and it probably didn't help make the graphics in the Halo 3 trailer look all that impressive. Not really impressed with the Halo 3 Xbox 360, or the new controller though. Debating on whether I should stay up for the embargo on the Killzone 2 event to expire.
Most everyone knows G4 sucks (except for the hot women hosts they have), but it's almost like they are trying to make sure that we haven't forgotten.
I thought Halo3 looked great. lots of enemies and weapons and cool environment. the NCAA 2008 football demo runs 60fps, its like butter!
When the RE5 trailer started I also thought it was MGS4. I said YES! then.. I was like awwww.. then YES! again. Can't wait for Assassin's Creed and does anyone have a pic of the new controller? Btw.. anyone else think the special edition console sucked balls? I mean.. okay a dark green 360... . ... .. wow.
