Lair, Heavenly Sword, Final Fantasy VII:r (I wish), The Getaway or Killzone.

FF7r is going to happen, I just don't see them showing it again before TGS or their own show later this year.

GT5 will probably look amazing, but as a racing game you can't really compare it in general as you can with most every other genre.

I disagree with this, while its not in the same style as those other games I think it should be in the running for best looking game. Especially if they can give it that realistic look the series has always had.

SquareEnix has a show right before Sony's tommorrow, actually.

WHHAAAAAAAT??? [/Homer voice]

WHHAAAAAAAT??? [/Homer voice]

1:00-2:30PST, and they got a reception thing at 11:30PST

 

[Father_Brain]

Square Enix conference is at 1PM PST, 4PM EST.

 

[Lord Error]

This man speaks the truth. I really don't think anything will compare on a technical level to Lair, if what that teaser promises comes into it's own throughout the game. That is, if they really can have many dragons detailed like that on the screen, and if the surrounding scenery can also be kept at that level of detail.

Still, MGS4 is MGS4, even though it may not be technically the best, I think it will impress people the most. I also have pretty high hopes for Heavenly Sword.

 

[mckmas8808]

WOW!! So FFVIIr am here?

What about Warhawk, Motorstorm, and GT5?

 

[Elios83]

Don't understimate Capcom!

*shrug*

Maybe at TGS this year, it'll miss out on E3!

Or maybe... it doesn't exist!? :O

Are you going to make a separate thread for Squeenix's conference, or contain it to this thread? I had the urge to make such a thread but decided against it.

You can certainly make a thread for it.

What about Warhawk, Motorstorm, and GT5?

Big question marks, IMO.

- Warhawk, while good looking, doesn't have that WOW factor to push it over, at least not in that video footage I've seen. Yes, clouds and water looked great, but I'd be lying now if I wouldn't say that I've seen very similar looking clouds in one PS2 WW2 flying game demo called Heroes of the Pacific, couple of days ago. Clouds in that game were just incredible looking, had that same blinding golden directional lighting effect from the sun, obsured the view when you were inside them, in a word, completely volumetric, there was craploads of them, and it moved at a steady 30FPS. Yes, clouds in Warhawk do look better and fluffier still, but it's not as huge difference as you might think.

- Motorstorm, if they pull the game closer to the target video, then sure, it will be higly impressive. It needs much better looking particle effects and motion blur (or to be at 60FPS) though. It also needs some detailed vehicle damage. I do think they are on their way to deliver, the impressive physics and vehicle models are already there, but I don't know if they will have it ready for E3.

- GT5 is a complete wildcard for me. I have no idea what Polyphony will deliver. Will we see a playable demo with super-detailed car models like those from the teaser video?

How often does a developer hold a conference of its own?

It would actually do pretty well in Japan, I think

Nice predictions and thoughts. I think you will be surprised.

 

[RaijinFY]

I hope there are going to announce FFXIII on their show. Just an announcement would make me happy.

 

[jett]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree regarding Warhawk. It just looks kinda lame, in a 1.5 kind of way, awesome water effects aside. Anyone that tells you otherwise has a vision problem.

Motorstorm could be amazing in motion if Evolution delivers on the action and mechanics displayed in the CG trailer...but eh.

GT5 will obliterate its competition. Wildcard? PLZ.

I hope, most of all, that Motorstorm will surprise me

This is SCEI's biggest franchise, Polyphony should be able to deliver a great driving game that defines the system.

 

[Lord Error]

I'm only saying that GT5 is a wildcard because I have no idea what they will show. If they show another "vision" video teaser, that won't be too great. If they show a demo with cars like they had in that TGS teaser, it's a whole other story.

I also *really* hope we get a HD direct feed trailer of R&C PS3 footage they had at GDC.

[GeoramA]

Is Warhawk still going to have some FPS gameplay in it? I'm very interested to see how that ties in with the traditional gameplay.

Brian Upton (lead designer of the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon) is on the team as senior designer, it should have some FPS gameplay in it, methinks.

PS3: Bye bye boomerang!
Sunday 7-May-2006 11:57 PM Sony say goodbye to the boomerang controller, new design revealed tomorrow!

If you were one of the many people who didn't think Sony's "bananarang" PS3 controller design was much cop, then stay tuned - for the big S is going to take the wraps off the final design tomorrow.

CVG will be attending Sony's pre-E3 conference tomorrow (it starts around 10pm UK time), where, amongst other juicy PS3-related titbits, we'll get our first sighting of the new joypad.

This is too much for me, my heart can't take all this PS3 excitement, how am I going to sleep tonight?

 

[tsp_gatmog]

this 1up podcast is hyping me up for tomorrow, fuck

 

[BlueTsunami]

Wow...so add the redesigned PS3 controller to the possible magatons tomorrow...

:O

I've gots to download that

 

[Speevy]

So what do you guys guess the final controller looks like?

 

[mckmas8808]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree regarding Warhawk. It just looks kinda lame, in a 1.5 kind of way, awesome water effects aside. Anyone that tells you otherwise has a vision problem.
.

Warhawk looks PS 2.5?:lol Have you played any flying games? How can you put the water, clouds, 4xAA, and HDR lighting aside? And remember we have not really seen lots of the game yet.

 

[Speevy]

What does the podcast say?

World of Warcraft for PS3, world-shaking MEGATON at the end of the conference, GT5 looks mindblowing

 

[Zilch]

So what do you guys guess the final controller looks like?

I imagine it will look very much like the Dual Shock.

 

[skip]

the main site is down for the time being, but you can still grab the 1UP Yours podcast through ITMS (I think...).

 

[Striek]

So what do you guys guess the final controller looks like?

Dual Shock 2 with the most reflective sheen you've ever seen.

Hopefully its the teeniest bit bigger and with slightly lower L2/R2 (though not triggers).

 

[BlueTsunami]

I don't know, I must be in the minority (along with mckmass) that thinks Warhawk actually looks good. The vid at GDC definatley looked better than the old vid shown last year.

I want to see some nice high res videos of it just to make sure

It just doesn't impress me, other than the water. Sorry buddy.

 

[mckmas8808]

What does the podcast say?

You don't want to know. Basically you will piss all on yourself after spooling on yourself.

 

[Speevy]

I can say that Warhawk looks a step above Crimson Skies or Blazing Angels.

Hellz no, the trailer at TGS was much better...mostly because it did a better job at showcasing the water effects.

 

[tsp_gatmog]

Yep, covered all the bases. CAN'T WAIT

 

[brandonh83]

And Crimson Skies was amazing. If Warhawk tops it, good golly gee damn.

 

[mckmas8808]

It just doesn't impress me, other than the water. Sorry buddy.

But you really haven't seen the game. You've seen a demo stuck in a small square box. But I do repect you opinion though.

One BIG ASS step above I would say.

Well OBVIOUSLY I'm basing my opinion from what we've seen.

Wow, I guess next-gen starts with GT5. 15 playable titles? That's like double what the 360 had last year. Anything else, and btw where can I listen to this thing?
