Mr_Putter Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 The Electronic Entertainment Expo is this week! For those of you who don't know, it's only the biggest game expo of the year, when all the big developers release all their biggest announcements. I'm kinda surprised there's no topic about this already, it's a pretty big deal. The big three consoles (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, duh) have their conferences, and many big announcements will come before the expo even starts. The conferences will be tommorow, and you will be able to watch live or recorded over at gamespot.com While we're on that, I'd suggest looking at gamespy.com, gamespot.com, and IGN.com often for your biggest news updates. Gamespot is pretty good for videos and features, while I prefer IGN and gamespot for my game announcements and news, as they are better organized and easier to understand. There are some tremendous announcements coming this E3. Expect a lot more info on the upcoming releases of PS3 and Wii, and many, many surprise game announcements that are sure to come. Also, expect to see more 360 announcements, and some jaw-dropping next-gen graphic capabilites. While we're on that, take a look at some great next-gen games, that I'm stunned by what they can do now. Here's some PC games I'm personally looking forward too: Cell Factor :shock: THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY AND MELT YOUR 360! (therefore, buy a good PC :) ) http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=9958&type=mov&pl=game Expected Release date Q4 2007 (most likely that means some time in 2008) Crysis :shock: http://pc.ign.com/articles/705/705150p1.html Expected Release Date: Late 2006/Early 2007 Spore (VERY LONG VIDEO, if you want to watch, you might want to fast forward thru some parts: an incredible part happens at approx 13-14 minutes in) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8372603330420559198&q=spore Prey http://pc.ign.com/articles/685/685815p1.html Expected Release Date: Summer 2006 On an unrelated note, here are all the crazy new PC games coming out with next-gen graphics: http://www.gamespot.com/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=24145969 If someone else wants to post some stuff coming for 360, PS3 or Wii, this would be the place. E3 officially opens it's doors May 9 and will run to May 12. Expect lots of info coming before and after (and during :P ) on all your favorite games!

Anesthesia Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I hope Prey isn't a third Doom 3 (Quake 4 being the second). Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 is there any way you can go by buying a ticket, or do you have to be with either a company or the press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordanFreeman Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I hope Prey isn't a third Doom 3 (Quake 4 being the second). Prey's gonna be awesome, a bunch of stuff from 3d realms is...Duke Nukem 3d anyone? Oh, and on the subject of Duke Nukem, i'm hoping for some announcements on the game Duke Nukem Forever!!! I can't wait to read about E3 this year! "El que no arriesga no gana" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I thought Condemned would be awesome, they can boast about innovative features all they like (like Condemned's 'use anything as a weapon') but when it arrives they are usually bunk (like Condemned's limited set of weapons which were just lying around everywhere). Is Prey being developed for a console alongside the PC? If so I think I can safely say it won't impress me. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

But if you guys have seen the videos, it really does look Doom 3ish, but really wild, with all the mirrors and anti-grav. Personally I don't think it's going to be like, the best game ever, but I bet it will still be a good amount of fun. Cell Factor, on the other hand...

bjbj1991 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Mainly looking forward to see Spore, probably the only game I'll buy for a long while. I have been looking forward to that game ever since I saw the movie about it on google video :D . It might be cool seeing a MMO bassed on that somehow.

Antrune Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Spore looks like one crazy looking game. The huge galaxy, universe type thing looks very interesting. Can anyone clue me up on which platform itll be on? And no lol why do you always want to get stuff from John Lewis. Its over ̣̉300 more then than what i paid. John Lewis is a great, great shop.

Mr_Putter Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 I cant wait for Project OffsetYeah, that looks REALLY good. Especially, the character models. The skin like moves, and the animations are so smooth. It's like playing in a high budget movie. And Spore will most likely be PC only, atleast for now. Here's a really good schedule of what's going on in the next few days: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3live.html HIGHLIGHTS: Sony Press Conference: Monday 4pm Nintendo Press Conference: Tuesday 9am Microsoft Press Conference: Tuesday 1 pm And here's some nice games they'll be showing on gamespot's coverage: Unreal 2k7: 12pm Wednesday BF2142: 2pm Wednesday Crysis: 4pm Wednesday Hellgate: London: 12pm Thursday AGEIA PhysX demo: 2pm Thursday C&C3: 1pm Friday E3 Savagery: 2pm Friday (Wil Savage, everybody!)

First, Grossman described using the Wii playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. "Now I'm Errol Flynn, sword fighting with the controller, then aiming a bow and arrow, then using it as a fishing rod, reeling in a stubborn virtual fish," he said. While Nintendo confirmed the much-anticipated GameCube title would have some Wii functionality, this is the first official description of what said functionality is.

Thanks :D I'll serach more about it ^^ Hellgate is a sugestive name. They were in doubt: Diablo 3 or another expansion for Diablo 2, but it would be good in both ways :P Good news: They will put Diablo in market when E3 ends.. maybe 2 weeks later. Hope its true. ~komodo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
