E3 09

[Lebzile]

MS conf in 2 hours. Wonder what they'll be surprising people with this year.

[Ollieyk]

Square Enix booth is the same size as Microsoft and bigger than Sony? o_O;

[Tyche]

MS is starting the conference 5 minutes early due to a "surprise". Assuming microsoft will drop another huge shocker, anyone want to venture any guesses? I'm throwing my hat into the MGS4 for 360 ring. Which brings me to this, would it not be somewhat disappointing and almost disgraceful that microsoft's 2 huge E3 moments for the past 2 years would be announcing a game that either has been on PS3 for over a year, or was planned to be on PS3 since inception? Anywho, it sucks that I'm working, I hope I can make it til 4pm today without finding out what the MS presser was about, so I can watch it on DVR.

[Insanecyclone]

MGS4 for 360? I'll believe that when they fix the RROD problem I except it to be some remake of something or actually a port of a game to the 360.

No live streaming video online? I don't have the g4 channel on my tv, womp. Guess i'll be reading kotaku again this year

Microsoft Press Conference - E3 09 Live Video Game Demos at GameSpot

[Pyro]

I'm taking a wild guess and saying that Microsoft bumped their start time up a little bit to announce the exclusivity of Tony Hawk Ride.

There are atleast 5 places that are doing live streams, read the thread.

All the links I clicked was just trailers and news reports and junk. Yeah I guess I didnt click the gamespot link which was the only one that i found to have to stream on the front page but i see it now.

[Kiarax]

Well it doesn't start for another hour. IGN and Gamespot both had decent ones last year, Gametrailers is doing one this year (apparently a HD one) which'll probably be good too.

[SephYuyX]

They wont start the feed until the conference starts.
E3 Insider is your best bet, and itll be in HQ.

[zoobernut]

Anyone hear anything about the Xbox Fluid? A big announcement from MS supposedly coming that talks about motion tracking camera that allows you to play games with no controller.

Sounded just like eyetoy to me. Anyone know if there is anything unique about it?

[Jefe]

There's not going to be an MGS4 for the 360, hell I'll eat my hat.

[Katlan]

is E3 open to the public this year, or a private event like last year again?

[Insanecyclone]

Private and I can't wait for more bayonetta info

It's always been for the media/industry. Last year they got rid of the booth babes and shit. I had the opportunity to attend one since I used to volunteer for this newspaper. Too bad I can't attend this year, the convention centre is literally within 10 min. walking distance from my place

[Katlan]

Yeah my parents live like 30 minutes from the Convention center... I'd buy an overpriced ticket from ebay or a scallper and take the week off of work and drive to LA.

Will gametrailers be doing an HQ live feed, or should i look elsewhere?

[Insanecyclone]

Almost time to start

[Pyro]

I expect something epic to do with Modern Warfare II to occur during this conference.

[zoobernut]

I really hope there is some good swag there this year. It will take a lot for E3 to top GDC
