Shittt, E3 started or something?

[6souls]

game trailers get released before the event to add hype. this happens every year.

[Vagrant]

Why the hell would they make a Two Worlds 2? Did anyone actually like the first game anywhere?

[Hiryo]

I wonder who is really going to pay 150 dollars for Natal.....
Arcade for 299+ controller for 50+ harddrive(at some point) for 99+ some 60 dollar games
or
Elite for 299+controller for 50 + Natal for 150....+ 60 dollar games
or
SE Elite for 399+ Natal for 150+ 60 dollar games -20 dollars for better harddrive.

On top of wireless adapter and xbox live gold fees and i'll assume that many games for natal are going to be off Live (why waste money putting party games on a disc when xbox users actually can download these 500mb games). Gotta say gg for microsoft, gonna be raking in cash this year (as well sony and nintendo)

there's actually like... a huge cult following for the game despite how terrible it was. Apparently if you can get past the god-awful controls and graphics it's not all that bad, but I've never had the willingness to try.

The Deus Ex Human Revolution trailer is exactly the same as the one they released like half a year ago or more.

Btw, I noticed this is called a rumors thread. Does that mean we get a new one come June 15? I'd prefer that.

One game I'm really looking forward to is "Another World." It's for the DS and Level - 5 is making it. It's the Studio Ghibli DS title.

At E3 next month Microsoft plans to unveil all the details on Project Natal - including its new name...

NowGamer has learnt from a source close to Microsoft that the official name for Project Natal will be revealed as 'Wave' at the event in Los Angeles next month. Other recent rumours have suggested prices and release dates for the camera-based motion control system.

'Wave' certainly seems to fit the peripheral's demographic - especially considering the 'Move' branding for PlayStation's motion control rival. We've contacted Microsoft for comment.

Developer credibility to Natal re-branding arrives at NowGamer...

News reported first on NowGamer that Natal was destined to be renamed ‘Wave’ according to a source close to Microsoft has now been given additional credibility by a secondary source close to the Natal (Or Wave) development community.

Furthermore, some other sites have been pointing out that ‘Microsoft Wave’ is already a brand name with its own website, highlighting Microsoft future tech including Natal. This is something we considered before posting the original story. We noticed of course that the following URLs …

www.microsoftwave.com
www.microsoftwave.co.uk
www.xboxwave.com

… are all registered. Does it follow that they have been attained in preparation for something? It might throw off potential guessworkers. The Microsoft Wave website doesn’t appear to serve any actual function at present besides showcasing some interesting tech. So, some are saying the site and brand name is proof that it’s not, we say it’s further proof that it is.

This is conjecture on our part, of course, but we stand by our sources on this one, as things stand. We are quite prepared to be wrong if that is our eventual fate; such is the nature industry whispering. We're still yet to hear back from Microsoft on the matter.

given that half the stuff in here is fake or a rumor it seemed more sensible to label this a rumor thread and make a new one when E3 starts

[SubzeroDiabolos]

Fucking shit I hope BF3 is real. It's the only thing that would get me hyped up.

I know, it's not likely due to the popularity of BC and stuff... But who knows. Jets again? Fuck yeah.


On an unrelated note, Qual did you make changing your avatar and sig on a daily basis a mission or something?

[Qalbert]

not particularly, like I think I'll have this one for a while, had RDR for about a month.

Episode 3?

Dear Subject Name Here,

Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word "surprise", of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.

If you'd like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.

Thank you for <<RECORD SCRATCH!!!>>

PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.

Episode 3?

Moments like this make me very sad I do not have a press badge.

Rockstar has already blown us away once this year with the release of Red Dead Redemption, so you might have guessed we were excited to see what is in store next for the company at E3. Max Payne 3 and L.A Noire, two big upcoming titles from RockStar were expected to show up on the show floor. Apparently E3 does not give RockStar enough time to show off all of the things they would like to according to a quote coming from CVG, "In the end, we feel we simply don't have enough time to show as much as we would like in the time available." Instead RockStar will be holding private sessions with the two aforementioned games on their own time in the coming weeks. We applaud the company for making sure that the two games get the best first hands-on experience possible, especially with L.A Noire never really setting foot into public light.

E3 was also supposed to bring another big announcement for RockStar, in the form of a brand new game from the company. Without an appearance at the convention, the announcement has also been canned for the time being. We expect to see the announcement to come out shortly after the convention regardless, but it does take away from some of the excitement that E3 is bringing. We hate to hear that we wont be getting to see anything from one of the top game companies, but at the same time we love that they're certainly taking their time with two highly anticipated games.

this was on Eurogamer yesterday:

Beyond Good & Evil 2 is Still in Development

Ubisoft has dismissed suggestions that Michel Ancel has left the company, confirming that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in development.

Word of the Rayman creator's supposed departure appeared on the internet last week. It was said that Ancel had left to set up his own studio, and that the BG&E2 project had been cancelled as a result.

But a Ubisoft representative told Eurogamer, "There are no changes on the horizon."

When asked if that means Ancel is still at Ubi and that BG&E2 is still in development, the representative replied, "Yes."

It's been two years since the sequel was first announced, and since then there's been nothing more to see than the original teaser trailer. Here's hoping more is revealed soon.

C'mon ubi, just announce the fucking game already please.

A scientific analysis of E3 predictions

[Kyo]

Rockstar wont be showing La Noire or Max Payne 3 at E3, they're hosting separate events prior to E3.
