E3 09

[Guitarman]

I hated the first one so 2nd doesnt excite me. No gameplay footage = fail.

[Insanecyclone]

Alright nintendo starts early then sony right after tomorrow time to kill some people over this rage inducing start of e3. Oh and gamespot will be doing on floor demos tomorrow after sony's conference just like last year so be sure to watch that will be happening until e3 closes.

[Jefe]

Bleh, no sign of Jade Raymond's fine ass.

[meeeeeep]

So, that's all the press conferences for today right?

[Tyche]

Is there any way to record video streams? My G4 is fucking broke, my cable company tells me that it's a line issue (out of 1000+ channels, only G4 doesn't work, I'm sure it's a line issue ) and can't get to it til next week. I'm fairly sure they just have incompetent tech support.

Everybody is failing at getting replays up. Last year they were up like a half hour after the live stream. This year they can't seem to get anything out at all, it's pathetic.

Holy shit me too. I thought it was just me, but My G4 wont come in either. For what its worth, I have Charter Communications.

Its a pain dealing with low quality feeds on this shitty laptop.

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

Microsoft Conference finally up for viewing, the Natal looks pretty sick if it delivers what it's promising. The idea of controlling the menus with your hands and stuff seems really neat and the recognition of individuals is amazing.

[Lebzile]

2 and a half hours till we get to see what nintendo is coming up with. What are you all expecting?

Cross-platform Zelda?

[Ryko]

TMNT brawl wow why you do this ubi

I cant wait for it, I just hope that footage was slow as fuck though because I dont think I could put up with a smash type game slower than brawl.

Honestly it just looks very gimmicky and the novelty of it will wear off fast, just like the EyeToy. As you could see when the guy was demoing it and his avatar started wigging out and glitching all over the place, it's gonna be prone to fuck ups like that. Most hardcore gamers (which Xbox/PS3 usually attract) don't want to be standing up flailing their shit about to play a game. The only thing I found neat with it was navigating the menu's with your hands, that was pretty cool.

tl;dr: casual bullshit

[Gwynplaine]

I don't buy this Natal gimmick. There's no way it will be as dynamic as they show it to be. Voice recognition alone is difficult let alone "scanning", and facial and full body recognition. Sony tried to sell their little add-on webcam similar to this before and it was a flop. You had to light your room up like a Hollywood studio to get the facial recognition to work at all, so I'll believe it when I see it.

Not to mention my idea of fun simply is not flopping around like Wayne bloody Brady doing an improv skit on Whose Line.

Wii music 2....

The Nintendo presentation is going to be a total flop unless they release details on new Mario and Zelda games.

Can't wait for the PS3 presentation though.

[Wintermute]

Nintendo will be great if it's anything like last time.

Think aobut it, last time they tell the Hardcore fans to piss off, this year they tell the Casuals to piss off and they can go back to making card games.
Those have wiggle-waggle out the box too!

[Scythiroth]

Wow, just finished watching the Xbox 360 press conference, and Natal actually seems really interesting. When they first started to talk about it, it seemed pretty gimmicky, but the demos for it changed my mind pretty quickly. I'm really curious how that will be used in future games, since I assume nothing will use it for a while.

Not really sure how Sony and Nintendo can top that. Last year, I was really disappointed with them. =/

[Shojin]

Not really sure how Sony and Nintendo can top that.

By releasing anything non-casual and non-gimmicky probably. Seeing as Wii is pretty much all casual, it all rests on Sony

[Scythiroth]

That's true. I guess we just have to wait and see.

I'm almost scared of Nintendo's press conference at this point. It really seems like they only want casual gamers. >.> Probably going to show off their stupid Wii motion+ crap again with 50 more exercise games.

[Wintermute]

Any idea if Valve is giving a presentation at all this E3?

[Norelco]

Nintendo should just license out their Zelda, Metroid, and Mario franchises so they can be developed for PS3 and 360 and give hardcore gamers what they want while simultaneously making a boatload of money on franchise/license fees.

Zelda on both 360 and ps3 would look great
