E3 - Less than 2 weeks away - What are you looking forward to the most?

i also wanna see if anyone defects, or ties themselves up with one console for some games.
Maybe a Namco/Nintendo, SE/DS, Capcom/PS3 deal of some sort
 
360 stuff
PS3 stuff
Killer PSP games

Hopefully there will be at least one other big GC game other than Zelda and i hope i'll discover some new title for my old PS2. I'm not really waiting for any title right now maybe except FF12, Dark Cloud3, Maximo3 and TOCA3
 
I'm shocked that people thing that Revolution will be at E3 in any type of force, outside of maybe random information. I just don't see Nintendo making their first showing in the US.

For me:
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 games
Madden Next Gen
Shadow of the Colossus
Call of Duty 2
Age of Empires III
Zelda

I expect a formal announcement of some sort, but from what various executives have said, a lot of people are going to be disappointed.
 
I've been promised a Warhawk sequel will be at this E3. If it isn't there, this E3 can go to hell. ;)

Otherwise interested in new hardware and what new IP that might inspire developers to create.
 
Looking forward to E3 for:

X360 hardware & launch details
Perfect Dark Zero, Oblivion, other X360 game announcements
Gamecube Zelda
Revolution info
MGS4 trailer
DS fall/spring lineup (esp Team Ninja's game & Pokemon)
GTA PSP (has any GTA ever shown up at E3, though?)

And the longshots: Earthbound 3 and Shenmue 3.

That's mostly it that I can remember.

I hosted the hub the last 2 years. I guess I can host it again this year.

I was thinking of setting up a ftp for the irc channel (the other one) and use the eggdrop to give access. I am a bit short on funds at the moment to get the ftp.
 
Zelda
Possibly some Rev Info
Vanguard Saga of Heroes
Alot rpgs, Square, Legendia, etc
Possibly 360 info, rpgs and non usual xbox lineup.
Ps3 demo perhaps.
 
I'm sure the Xbox 360 will be shown(I mean the actual console), can we expect prototypes of the Revolution and the PS3?
 
- Soul Calibur III
- Urban Reign
- hopefully some PSP fighting games (Sega? Namco?? Capcom???)

That's it. Sadly.
 
Realistic expectations:

Xbox 360
Perfect Dark Zero
Zelda for Cube
Nintendogs North American dog roster
Animal Crossing DS in depth preview

Best E3 Evar expectations:

PS3 console shown
Revolution Shown
Pikmin DS game
Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer (not just an announcement)
 
Hundreds of tiny, holographic pikmin running up my leg.

RE4 vs. SH4 said:
Maybe SH5 is they're around to it. I won't be excited for it unless it's a drastic change for the series, though. It's sad to say, but it's gotten to the point where SH is a cliche, much like RE was before RE4. It was original for the first 2 games, but now everything seems like more of the same, and in the horror genre, that ain't good.
Click to expand...

SH4 wasn't a drastic enough change? What the hell do you want? A FPS SH game? SH to turn into a John Woo-action extravaganza ala RE4? SH in a space ship? SH w/ dinosaurs? SH w/ dinosaurs IN space?
It seems after SH4 most fans want it to return to the foggy town of bizarre personal sin. I'm replaying SH3 at the moment and even though the plot is much more simple than SH2 (could also read as 'not as creative' :) ), it has one of the most effective, terrifying atmospheres in any game I've played this generation. Also some of Akira Yamaoka's best use of sound. Trying to imagine what Konami and Team Silent will do with next gen. power is about enough to make me sit in my own puddle of bright yellow urine.

I guarantee, even if SH5 is the same exact formula as SH1-3, but has the cock-jiggling force of next gen (be it X360 or PS3............ or Revolution :D ) graphics/audio, you'll be right there with the rest of us horror geeks creaming ourselves. I mean, even you have to admit, a big part of RE4's strength is it's amazingly updated graphics. The game looked borderline next-gen as it was. Would you really think RE4 would be as good if it had Code Veronica or OUTBREAK graphics?? Now now, I'm not assuming you are a graphics whore (although I, admittedly, am one), but graphics are very important, no?

Just wanted to throw that out there.
 
Looking forward to Revolution and Nintendo's showing overall.

Looking forward to XB360's showing also, but we'll know a lot about the console before E3.. and I couldn't care less about PS3.

It needs to return to the way it was in SH/2. Redo the entire control scheme and combat system though, but don't make the game revolve around combat. You should fight about as much as you did in the original 2 but make the enemies harder. SH is just a series that shouldn't have more than 2 games per gen and they should be spaced out between the beginning and the end of each gen so they're never rushed.
 
I changed my mind since I've spent most of the day going back & playing PGR2.

I want confirmation EA allows Xbox to use our customized music playlist, that ubershort shitty garage band shit for a music replacement was one of the biggest flaws in Burout 3, they fix that (which shouldn't even be an issue in racing games on a console with a damn built in hardrive) & that game will be Godly.

Enough of the texture, lighting and shadow penis comparison talks between Forza & GT4, arcade gameplay ownz even if the hardware isn't being maxed with effects.

Long live fun racing games no matter what style everyone preffers, just please for godsake EA confirm we can use our own playlists in the next Burnout, and hell SSX4 too while we're at it.

Yeah, in order to change SH they have to add John Woo gun battles in space.

You remind me of the guy that comes to the party and pushes the drunks down around 4:30am.

How about actually responding to my post instead of entertaining me for half a second and then calling me a name you probably never even use in real life?

Better yet, don't. I like you the way you are.
 
Where are the real, concrete leaks? Like Nintendo's E3 flyers? Those things always seem to make the rounds early. And no, I don't care if there are any surprises - I just want the info now.
 
I'll take the props, since they come so rarely...

but I will say that my exaggerated assumptions were not particularly pointed at you. I just wanted to mention the dinosaurs in space thing again, to be honest with you. :D

Such horrible memories of Dino Crisis 3. Why, oh why would you want to mention that?

Seeing that the ice has been broken...

I think my original "wanker" reply summed it up pretty well; you don't need to change what makes Silent Hill, Silent Hill, in order for it to be drastically different. Look at RE4. It's a totally new experience from past REs, but it still feels exactly like a RE game. Since RE2, RE has always been an action-oriented adventure, and RE4 is no different. The mechanics and scope were simply improved. The same needs to be done to Silent Hill to regain my interest. Expand on the ideas that made the series good in the first place. If all they're gonna do is give us a new story and different monsters, I'm out.

BTW, I don't consider SH4 a Silent Hill game. It didn't start as a Silent Hill game, and gamers in general consider it to be a horrible installment. If you're pointing to it as paving a new way for the series, it might just do more harm to your argument than good.

Thank you for the post. I'm not being a smart-ass. I appreciate getting a better handle on your opinion.

All that aside, SH does have plenty of room for improvement, but I really think the majority of that improvement lies in creative, 'risky' story development. Sure, more involving gameplay would bring more people to the series, but, at the same time, SH has never been a series that has tried to cater to everyone. The team seems to think just adding more 'monster fighting' is enhancing gameplay, but instead it's sucking a lot of the creepy, psychological horror from the atmosphere, in my opinion. Instead of the strange, seldomly rare encounters of a bizarre creature in the dark, you are bombarded by jumping dogs and annoying ghosts. Even Yamaoka and Imamura have admitted their recent faults with the series, which is a good sign that things MIGHT be corrected for future installments.

Personal preference- I think SH4 was very interesting. A lot of potential wasn't even touched (I blame stunted development time, on top of turning a game that wasn't originally intended for the series into a numbered installment), there are plenty of faults, but I think there are also a lot of really fascinating, creepy, atmospheric additions in SH4 for the team to learn from and add in the future. 'The Room' aspect was fantastic, as was the isolated voyuerism of it. The overall 'dreamlike' quality was very effective, but it missed some of the simple aesthetics that made the SH series so different. It was also discouraging that the overall production value seemed much lower than SH3, which makes sense, considering 'Room 302' was suppose to be a more low-key, side-project kind of game.

I can't find a proper conclussion to my babbling, so allow me to just say I agree that SH still needs tweaking, but I don't feel it's hit the stagnance that the RE series did, justifying such a drastic change just yet. :D
