Watching more of the Nintendo conference. (Can't find a MS stream?!?)Damn, Red Steel looks awesome. And holy **** am I glad I got the DS. New Super Mario Bros. Starfox DS Yoshis Island 2 Final Fantasy III Man...
That Halo 3 trailer looks pretty sweet...it probably makes me more excited about the movie possibilities, though, since it didn't seem like there was any game play in it.
If the Wii is really 249 and offers all previous games for a few bucks... I'll be the first in line. I think the first thing I'd do is DL Chrono Trigger and FF3 and play them for days straight. So many old games so little time.
Here's the high-resolution Quicktime trailer for Red Steel on Wii. http://rapidshare.de/files/20055731/redsteele3_qthighwide.mov.html *THIS TRAILER IS OVER-DRAMATIC TO GET THE POINT ACROSS. Yes, the guy playing the game looks like an idiot most of the time, but remember that you do not have to do all that crap when playing. It's just for effect.
There also putting out an updated version of FF3 for the DS with new 3D graphics and what not. G4 put Kristin Holt on the Wii coverage, that's wiiak. They might as well just use a sock puppet.
Any word on the rumors that the sucker version won't play movies in hi-def? Ken's analogy is off. Not many can afford to eat "dinner at a fine restaurant" everyday. This slob is okay with eating cafeteria food more often because it isn't that bad. He's chasing his tail and/or he's delusional by pricing his box outside a gaming machine. It's like we've returned to the days of the Neo Geo and their $100 cartridges. Better late than never, I guess. We haven't seen a killer app that everyone wants yet. Maybe the idea is long dead because new demographics are opening up so it's harder to appeal to everyone. They should've put some commercials during Superbowl with footage looked like a cool CG movie with a surprise at the end that it's the game itself. Kind of like FF7, but real... You'll probably see fanboy rumors that it was all a ploy just like how the Wii name is fake.... What if a port for the 360 was announced 6 months later...
The Konami Conference is going on right now: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3story.html?sid=6149847 They did announce Silent Hill: Origins for the PSP. Check out the info and trailer at IGN: http://psp.ign.com/articles/706/706177p1.html (awesome) There is supposed to be a surprise I believe...not sure if it is related to Konami or just MGS4...which could be as simple as Kojima controlling the camera in the MGS4 trailer. BTW, I believe the full MGS4 trailer is like 15 minutes long. Konami is supposed to have it available to download on their site later on. MGS4 is one of the only things that is forcing me to get a PS3, at least eventually.
I haven't paid much attention to those rumors since I'm basically ignoring the existence of that SKU. I'd have to look at the specs again, but if it doesn't have HDMI, then that means that BR movies will be down-converted if the movie studio enabled the ICT flag on the movie. I was dissing the 360's HD DVD drive for basically doing the same, but it turns out that both will be implementing HD drives in their systems without HDMI. That's just stupid IMO. That would certainly make things interesting. The 360 would probably have to do a lot better in Japan for that to happen though. But then again, I'd still have Heavenly Sword forcing me to get a PS3. And that isn't getting ported to the 360 (well...maybe if Halo 3 gets ported to the PS3 as well).
the hdmi doesnt make that much of difference for games IMO. I use the hdmi for my HDTV viewing.. not for games. Plus how many TVs have more than 1 HDMI slot? not many.
Lost Planet is NICE! I just played about 15 minutes of it. cool effects, fast pace gaming. and it was only 300MEG !!
I'm excited about the new more "mature" franchises that Nintendo announced that they are personally involved in the making of: Project H.A.M.M.E.R. ---> http://wii.nintendo.com/games_hammer.html Disaster: Day of Crisis ---> http://wii.nintendo.com/games_disaster.html On top of those, a list of games currently scheduled for production was leaked and "Resident Evil game" is listed under Capcom. It doesn't say "Resident Evil 5", so perhaps it will be a Wii exclusive...one can only hope.
Thanks RC, that was way faster than I expected That "Family Action Game" sure sounds weird. It could be very kid oriented or very sick. I'm guessing it was translated from Japanese.
