Assassins Creed: Brotherhood.

agree with what everyone has been saying....that was absolutely atrocious and i was genuinely feeling embarrassed for the onstage people on multiple occasions.

black ops looked great, gears 3 looked cool, mgs:rising was barely shown but i guess the sword thing is pretty cool....the crytek game looked like it could be seriously awesome even with no gameplay footage and the 360 slim looks wicked (especially when compared to the normal piece of shit 360)

that kinect stuff was beyond stupid.

btw great write ups hbk.
keep them coming

Yeah cheers, just reading up on it now mate.

Sort of like Jessica Alba giving you a BJ, then having a rest and then let her go at it again in 15 minutes.

Haha great.

Ubisoft have all 5 of their major studios working on this game.

Should be amazing.

Thanks for the write ups HBK, made a boring day at work a little better
onto MS
Black ops was great, looked like they have added to what is already a great series (cod)

MGS Rising, that slow time sword slashing looked flippin epic imo, i havn't ever got into MG games but that trailer gave me a little tingle in the pants.

Gears 3 Co-op looked like great fun, never played Gears(just got the 360) but it looks like something i would definately look at.

Halo Reach Just didn't do a thing for me, it looked a bit last gen and i'm a bit over the whole Halo thing.

Kinect As i said in the 360 thread i thiught it will revolutionise consoles, some real potential there, only down side and it is a fairly big downside are the games, they are SHIT(considering its for a console they should be better)the price will be a big sale point imo and them not giving an inkling on price worries me.

note to Sony: Thats how you keep a freaking secret >,>

Nintendo's conference is starting. BTW Midori are you talking about Goldeneye? That's been rumoured for a little while now.

Updates as usual.

Very good show all round. Nintendo have pulled out the big guns and it looks very impressive. Some things in there that I really couldn't give a rats clacker about (Mario Sports, Mickey, Wii Party, Dragon Quest, Golden Sun and Just Dance 2...no seriously, kill me) but overall with what they brought out it will be very tough to beat in a little over an hour and a half time by Sony. Goldeneye mixed new with old, not quite sold on it, but if they keep to the Goldeneye routes then it is Jizzworthy. Zelda, although VERY poorly presented had a shitload of features and looked fantastic from a visual POV. Donkey Kong coming back and going retro looked good. Metroid has a heap of variety. The 3DS looks very interesting and Kid Icarus is a good launch title. And Nintendo have got some HUGE names to develop for them, Hideo Kojima being perhaps the biggest. Special mention to Reggie as well, brilliant job hosting, very composed, didn't stuff up and made the whole thing sound real and not like it was from a script. The pot-shots were 'meh', but still he did very well. Great show overall, 8.5/10.

Not a 9 simply because there's still a few un-answered stuff. Watching over EA's conference you got a trailer, then gameplay (I would give EA's a 9/10). With Nintendo's there were just trailers giving little snippets of how the game will play, so it leaves a lot of un-answered stuff in regards to game quality.

• Reggie out and talking straight away. Mentions in passing Move and Kinect. He's got a great stage presence, very assured of himself unlike others this year. Says Nintendo is raising the bar on the gaming experience.
• Zelda, first up. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Miyamoto is in front of a green screen holding a sword and shield. It's SOOOO AWKWARD! He's speaking while a voice-over is doing the talking for us. HAHAHA he holds up the sword and shield and tells us that the Wii-Mote/Nunchuck and Motion Plus will be in this game. The Wii-mote will control the sword and the nunchuck is the shield. Miyamoto throws to a guy who pretends to be shit. Miyamoto cuts in and says "this is how you do it" and he breaks through a banner and WOW HE'S AT THE EVENT! SURPRISING A GUY FROM NINTENDO IS AT A NINTENDO EVENT! He proceeds to show us how you will use the controls to really immerse yourself in the Zelda world. Miyamoto really has it down fairly well, occasionally things won't work right, but for the most part this is very impressive. Some average stuff there...showing off a nunchuck shooting option trying to shoot these spiders. Miyamoto misses every one of them. More awkward aiming going on now with a bow and arrow, Miyamoto can't seem to get anything working right...blaming of the crowd using wireless net interfering with the tech...getting a bit embarrassing. All in all though, there's a ****LOAD of features so far. Game looks very beautiful, using a flying bug thing you get to see some expansive landscapes, VERY good looking. Not all of the tech seems to be working as well as they'd like it, the American translator keeps blaming interference, whether that's true or not will be interesting. Near 15 minute demo all up so far. Miyamoto finishes up by saying that the game is taking a while to develop, look for it in 2011.
• Reggie comes back out. Says that Zelda is the top line title with more to come today. Now he's talking about games for "everyone" (basically family games...YAWN!).
• Mario sports game coming up. Beach Volleyball, Ice/Beach Hockey, Dodgeball, Basketball all shown with the usual Mario characters. Will be called Mario Sports Mix. Coming 2011.
• Reggie back again talking about sales of consoles, games being the highest ever as well as people playing them a lot apparently.
• Wii Party being shown now. Board Game Island, Balance Boat, Horse Racing amongst others shown.
• OH GOD! More dancing games...Just Dance 2...looks just as shit as the 1st...not to mention disgraceful that anyone would want to put themselves in one of these ads! If you care, it'll be coming Spring 2010.
• Golden Sun: Dark Dawn being shown off for the DS. Got some fairly Zelda like gameplay in there. Zelda crossed with a JRPG. Coming 2010.
• Goldeneye 007. IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!! A re-imagining of sorts. Daniel Craig is James Bond, has some of the same levels, Jaws, Oddjob are back. 16 MP Modes including Paintball/Melee only/You only live twice. Looks different, but similar. Coming in NOVEMBER 2010 ONLY FOR THE Wii!
• Disney Epic Mickey revealed. Very old fashioned animations in cutscene. Looks like it will be potentially darker than any Disney game we've seen on the Wii. You can use paint to paint the world much like De Blob and also use paint thinner which will unveil areas to continue on in the game. As you transition to other worlds in the game you enter into a 2D scroller with an art style like the old fashioned type that Mickey was introduced with.
• Kirby coming back as a lead character in a game. A story like none before. Kirby's Epic Yarn (overuse of epic much?!!!). 2D Side Scroller using...Yarn as the levels/characters and everything. Spring 2010 release.
• Reggie continue's to use Epic. Buzz word? Word of the day from Sesame Street??
• Dragon Quest IX to get Multiplayer. Calls it 100's of hours deep. Will arrive (in the US) in 26 days for the DS.
• Metroid: The Other M showing now. Shows off FPS, Side Scrolling Platforming, 3rd person action all in the 1 trailer. Arrives August 31, 2010.
• DONKEY KONG IS HERE! (GrandBlue just exploded!!!!!!) Shows off the retro gameplay that made DK famous. Coming THIS YEAR!
• HAHA Reggie talking about extending the bar...I know two people in this thread that if their bars "extend" anymore then we'll have no eyesight left!!!
• 3DS Now. No glasses. Showing off the progression of 3D. Now for the ultimate reveal. Touting improved graphical capability. Analogue stick is included called a "Slide pad". 3DS includes motion sensor. 2 cameras, for taking 3D photo's. Says that movies will now be able to be played on the 3DS, no idea how. But Dreamworks, Warner Bros. and Walt Disney to be the one's bringing the films. Haven't actually shown the 3D tech off though, no idea why.
• Talking about Project Sora and how it is to transfer into a game. Kid Icarus is back in Kid Icarus: Uprising, "Coming Soon". Will have full 3DS compatibility and is being shown at the show floor...lame!
• Nintendogs+Cats announced.
• Biggest 3rd Party Line-up for Nintendo ever. Mentioning titles like Kingdom Hearts, Saints Row, Assassin's Creed, Metal Gear Solid, Riiiiiiiidge Racer among others. Showing off a bunch of publishers (EA, Ubisoft, Hideo Kojima) talking about how they love the new 3D tech and how they can use it in future games.
• Typical Nintendo ad showcasing the 3DS and how it will "work". Almost as trippy as the showing off of Child of Eden. Strange stuff.
• A ****ton of pretty young pieces come out with the 3DS to show how the 3DS will work (doesn't help us though...). Definitely could see how it would work with a few of these girls, definite 3D protrusion there!
• ALL OVER.
