[midorigreenwood]

hmmm..... De blob is the only interesting Wii game in that lot....

Nintendo is keeping their list secret as usual.... can be a good thing or a really bad thing (like last year >,> ie: pretty vanilla except for galaxy)

*crosses fingers for Golden Sun Wii*

 

[AC for PM]

Looking forward to Crysis Warhead.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[midorigreenwood]

PATA PATA PATA PON!!!! >,<

can't really read much into this years E3....... only 40 games developers in contrast to 200 - 300 in 2006.

*crosses fingers for next year*

 

[fightingdreamer88]

A Capcom rep spoke recently about third party support for Wii and how despite the older tech, it still takes a couple of years to make a high-quality third partly exclusive for the system, which is supposedly why we hadn't seen a lot of big third party announcements. He said to expect a big shift of key titles towards the system in the next year, so I watch E3 with interest.

Skies of Arcadia 2 would be nice.

 

[midorigreenwood]

Due to the mass defections of gaming companies from the organisation that runs E3....everyone thought that it was going to be another boring ho hum propaganda fest like last year......but omg already two pretty big annoucements

1)FF13 is coming to the 360

2)Nintendo is release another add-on.... wait wait.....don't stop reading!!!

its alittle nub that sticks to the end of the wiimote that greatly improves the motion detection of the controller

http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/eMMuRj_N6vntHPDycCJAKWhEO9zBvyPH

Nintendo's upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo’s commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.

omg!!! that is about the biggest complaint I have about the Wii..... yes the graphics are like ass if not done properly ala galaxy.... I can live with that....

but the controls atm are not precise enough for proper simulations.... which can be very annoying for things like sporting games and lightsaber matches.

 

[midorigreenwood]

we'll wait and see if nintendo breaks my heart in their E3 conference or give me a wet dream. The add-on is obviously going to be bundled in with a must-have game......

possible candidates could be

Wii-Sports 2,
Wii-music,
Starwars- The force unleashed
Zelda with sword fighting

 

[Kerrby]

This was shown at E3, it's called Mirrors Edge.

http://www.gametrailers.com/game/6364.html This is the developers Walkthrough.

http://www.gametrailers.com/game/6364.html This is a new trailer.

A First Person Action Adventure game . Looks interesting to say the least!!

 

[ep2018]

Well hopefully RARE show us that they haven't screwed up Banjo 3 like I think they have.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

I can't believe Fable 2 is pretty much gold! That might meant that the majority of the features announced might actually be in there

Great that they havent been rushed to drop stuff

Really good to see a truly original game. Looks good.

Maybe you should also read what people have said from the actual gaming experience too, it's not only the graphical capability but the gameplay changes too.

Looks like something out of The Hills Have Eyes.

Just so I know, what console would you be playing it on if you were to get it, or would you get it for the PC?

 

[Mr Magoo]

Well you didn't miss much regarding Nintendo it was very disappointing. I'm watching the g4 live feed right now & the Playstation 3 press conference should be live in around 30-45 minutes.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Nintendo were down right terrible, at least they kinda hinted at new Mario and Zelda games.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Yeah.. still that conference sucked big time... i mean wii sports 2 & a few other games... pfft... how about a pikmin game, golden sun game... role playing games. Bah

Fallout 3 looks amazing though & i'm not an xbox fanboy.

PS3
resistance 2 was on video & looked very good... 60 player death match... Lag central imo
Little big planet...

I really want to get a 360 now after there press conference, I bought a PS3 last week but took it back after seeing F13 was coming to Xbox which I can get for $400 less Hopefully 360 gets Kingdom Hearts aswell come on Square screw Sony again... jk

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Sony's conference was probably the best ahead of 360: LittleBigPlanet looks great not my type of game but should do well. Resistance 2 looked huge, seemed like playing one of the soldiers from the Cloverfield movie. InFamous probably looked the best (graphics wise) playing a superhero kinda like a Hancock storyline with the power to save or destroy a city. Teaser for God of War 3 was awesome but will have to wait to see much more. Sony finished off with the annoucement of MAG a multiplayer combat game with the capabilities to have 256 live players on a battlefield at the same time.

 

[boydsno1]

256 people on at once? wow that sounds impressive but surely it will be a lag fest for us aussies.

Yeah, don't think so Jonesy.

Nintendo owned it, just look at this!

 

[midorigreenwood]

hehehe, I don't if that is sarcasm LD......but that does look pretty cool.


I haven't seen any of the conferences yet.......but been reading the news reports....

the quote that stands out the most so far about the big N's conference....

Responding to the criticism voiced by Mr. Crecente of Kotaku and others, Mr. Fils-Aime pointed to Animal Crossing as a game that would appeal to core gamers.

animal crossing? ANIMAL CROSSING?!!!! wtf

why reggie!!! why

zeus strike me down with lightning now!!!!!!!!



*ahem*

uhm HBK........ don't know prob the 360.....but I'll have a l33t pc by the time it comes out.

I just don't like playing games on the pc much :/ I use it more as an entertainment hub and for video editing/encoding.

apparently carmack is aiming for 60 fps on all platforms so that will be pretty spectacular if he pulls that off.

 

[midorigreenwood]

Yeah, don't think so Jonesy.

Nintendo owned it, just look at this!

hmmm........ abit different to the elegant looking miyamoto....

I don't think I want to watch the nintendo conference anymore........ lucky I didn't stay up hehehe ..... it was on at midnight perth time



ps:

one can only dream

pps: animal crossing?!!!!! wtf?
