I'm most looking forward to the Microsoft and Sony conferences. Personally, I would like to see Sony come out on top this E3 with some big announcements how how they're going to expand the system and draw in new users because I believe that the 360 has climaxed and its not going to stay on top so much longer..

I really want to see what Nintendo is going to bring to the table as they are very localized in one field, and haven't really expanded deeply into the other areas where games are, where Sony and Microsoft are at.

 

 

 

Will be interesting to watch via G4TV.

Can't wait for this, looking forward to Fable 2 and GOW 2 , also hoping some new info/gameplay will be released about Warhammer Online.

 

 

 

Also wondering if an Assains Creed sequel will be announced.

* The Lord of the Ring: Conquest

 

WANT.

 

 

 

Spore too, I guess.

 

I haven't really been following this stuff lately, so I don't really have anything I'm extremely looking forward to (Other than the already mentioned). Still can't wait to see what's announced though.

Interesting... Microsoft avoid competition with the other two companies (again) by doing their exhibition on their own on a different day.
I think Microsoft has the weakest line up this year, the only "massive" games are GOW2 and the new Halo rts thing. Nintendo has already released their own "massive" games like SSBB and Mario kart. I think Sony's looking best this year.

As far as leaks go aswell theyre going for casual gamers this e3.What i think well get from the big 3 conferances:

 

 

 

Microsoft:Lots of GeOW2 hyping and possibly shedding some light on another halo project, its time to be talking about it.Maybe even an anouncement from bungie now that bungie is independant and microsoft has first right to refusal on there projects we might see something from bungie.Gonna be casual orientated thought with maybe a xbox live redesign to make it cleaner and easier to use and tahtwand peripheral weve been hearing about.

 

 

 

Nintendo:Theres a unrevealed game for the hardcore that their figurehead Reggies been talking about and i think that it will be the next console animal crossing and it should be MMO.That would be the Megaton of the event if it is an MMO because Nintendo suddenly has there multi million platinum selling title for this holiday season.More casual games possibly wii music.

 

 

 

Sony:Has the most to show in terms of exclusives, in fact as far as reports go they could be holding off the biggest announcement for TGS and the gigantic audience platform it has.Sony will be starting move ahead in terms of indie games devlopment because of Microsoft increasing the revenue split between indie gamers and them.Pixel junk eden to be the flagship psn title, more new on resistence 2 and maybe a release date from littlebig planet.I think twisted metal and GodOW3 maybe confirmed and we may see teasers but there is something yet to be shown or know outside of sony worldwide studios which Yoshida mentioned.Other than ps3 smartest thing would be a price cut on the ps3 but more importantly the ps2 to $99.

 

 

 

What im looking forward to/wish:

 

-Bungies next project, after halo3 and a sudden desire to move far away im very very interested to see what they do, there still ahead in terms of features in Halo 3 so i cant wait to see what they can do fresh.

 

-A firm release date of little big planet, im wanting that game more than anything on a console

 

-Nintendo's announcements over new titles for the wii have purposefully been heldback for e3 so there has to be something of importance there.

 

-Mirrors edge the latest trailer provides more questions than answers and honestly it looks phenomenal.

 

 

 

Oh nad microsoft having it on another day is mere practicality for PR and journalists, 3 lengthy conferances on one day would be nasty and also we get to see how the other 2 nintendo and sony react to previous conferances, the crazy things Nintendo did like, WOAH LOOK AT ALL THE POSITIVE PRESS WE GET AND HOW THE WII IS A PHENOMENAN, SCREW YOU MICROSOFT or sony LOOK AT THIS WE HAVE CHEWBACCA MODELING THE NEW STAR WARS PSP IT HAS A SWEET DARTHVADER HEAD ON THE BACK*awkward pause from audience*

I don't have a PS3, but Little Big Planet looks promising. It might be overshadowed by Spore though so...

 

 

 

I know they are two totally different games, but they both specialize in environment manipulation so they kinda relate. Spore just comes out in pretty much every console.

I would die for a MMO Animal Crossing, so long as they keep the beautiful simplicity of Wild World.

 

 

 

Nintendo may have released Mario Kart and SSBB, but people forget just how large an operation Nintendo actually is. They could easily be developing a new Pikmin or Advanced Wars while still working on the usual Mario titles.

I'm personally looking forward to more information on Rock Band 2 and Fable 2.

 

Mercenaries 2: World In Flames also looks promising.

You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

e3 isn't what it used to be :-#

 

 

 

 

How you figure that one out?

 

 

 

 

 

Well Mr Sarcastic ... Its NOTHING like it use to be .. It's only bloody press there.

 

 

 

And duke nukem forever will NOT be at E3

 

Will post source later.

 

Thats the problem e3 had in the old setup because it was gamers sneaking into a tradeshow which was only meant for journalists when it was created, its only through gamers tossing the dummy and wanting free swag that it became this ridiculously stupid event with thousands of people when it was only meant for the press in the first place.The huge bopoths you saw only came about because of gamers sneaking in and stopping the press doing there job, and it was another oppurtunity for companys to market there crap.

If Capcom don't give a live demonstration about Resident Evil 5 I will not be happy :( Animal Crossing Wii has been hinted in several magazines, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was announced. E3 Starts tomorrow, can't wait to see some new titles :D
