It's tomorrow, I'm really glad I'm not working right now. Really looking forward to seeing Mario Wii (WII? LOL) and especially Metal Gear Solid 4. Outer Heaven is back and whatnot and soforth. I'm also crossing my fingers for news on a Mother 3 release over here. (BTW the Mother 3 soundtrack has dominated my listening the last couple days, so splendid, way better than any other music discussed here but not quite on par with Mother 2... it's more straightforward... still a melodic joy but the overall sound isn't as distinctive) |

Electronic Entertainment Expo, the largest expo all about videogames and consoles, held yearly in Los Angeles. new games are announced, some are shown for the first time.. this year you have the Wii thing, maybe some PS3 action. it's mildly interesting if you're into videogames - it's largely a competition between the major companies to show how much money they dare to blow away on it. |

yeah let us know your opinion of the Wii for sure |
||||||||
|

'wii' has got to be the gayest name for a console, ever. |

I'm hoping there will be some neato DS titles that will make me buy the system. I'm almost sold on brain age and animal crossing but I need to know some cool games are also in the works before I get a DS. Plus I want to wait for DS Lite to come out in North America. Its only going to be $120-something US, and the canadian dollar is awesome (80 something us cents) |

Oh and I want to see what the new Alliance race is in WoW. They better announce that shit. I'm hoping the expansion will have more gameplay variation. I never had the incentive to hit level 60 because after all the hours (no.. days) I would need to invest isn't worth it since you're just doing the same killing/looting/selling shit that you do at level one. Granted, you do get to get into groups with voice chat and that can be fun. Has anyone seen |

Yeah I can't wait too. I have to work a lot on my gcnext site for this E3. |
||||||||

|
|
probably the worst thing about the "Wii"-change is that it's so very obviously thought up by a marketing department, more than normal, I mean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's very ungood. When I go to the store to pick up my Wii, I'm not going to ask for a ''Wee'', I'm going to ask for the ''Nintendo Double-You Eye Eye''. Some of the marketing/advertising for it looks to be cringe-worthy, too. That Goth kid with spiky hair playing Wii to demonstrate that even super-kewl kids play Wii... Nintendo sure is providing the internets with a lot of fertile Photoshop Ops. I hope Mario Wii really fucks up my shit so I can stop worrying about the name and focus on the inn0vayshun. |

that Wii name is as silly as the anal lords. |

It feels like Christmas Eve. I heard the first 90 seconds of the trailer, the music is gnarly and exotic. This Assassin's Creed game caught my eye, immediately made me think of Thief. And since Thief 4 is probably just a pipe dream, maybe this can fill the void in my life. I love medieval stealth and Ubi knows stealth. |

All these hi res images of games man, they never look as good in game ;/ |

I can't wait to hear what the next big bubble is. At least there's nothing comparable to "Emotion Engine" being pandered this time around. Gamespot and IGN are so gonna be sucking everybody's cock, non-partisan. Journalists shouldn't be given access to places like this because they turn into kids in the sandbox. Wee. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I hope something worth reading appears at IGN. The Wii doesnt exsist to me. I dont really believe in nintendo anymore. I am looking specifically for PS3 articles and games and perhaps some 360. |

I just watched the PS3 press conference. Holy mackerel they hire some dangerously uncharismatic people. Even the guys demonstrating the games totally sucked. One guy playing some action game couldn't figure out how to hit an enemy he was fighting... even though he was one of the guys WORKING ON THE GAME. The lineup of games looked OK. Tekken, a bunch of action games, Final Fantasy XIII (Final Fantasy XII isn't even out yet), Resistance... standard issue launch stuff. Nothing surprising, just good-looking action fare, standard launch/first-gen stuff. They redeemed themselves at the end when they showed Metal Gear Solid 4, that gave me chills. Seeing Raiden again was a ''holy shit WTFOMG?'' moment. Still no gameplay though, they're just teasing by hinting at story elements and characters right now. Maybe they'll show something else tomorrow at Konami's press conference. |

Oh and they're not using that dildo-boomerang controller anymore. In fact, it looks like they pussed out and caved in to the whining... and they're just going with an improved Dual Shock. It has an Xbox 360-esque guide button, the top shoulder buttons are analog now, it's wireless, etc. People bitched and complained, and they got what they wanted, I guess. I thought the dildorang looked really comfortable. I'm kind of disapointed. I'm not just saying that because I wanted to pleasure myself with it, either. It looked like it would feel nice to hold. |

Well i guess that comes down to the old "if its not broke dont fix it" shtick. I wasnt too sure about the boomerang. I didnt really form an opinion. I got so distracted by the wii controler and nintendos stupid antics. heh i guess that is good for nintendo. I have expectations for PS3 and if i hear nothing useful through E3 i am going to be a touch let down. Metal Gear 4 is gonna kick maximus |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isnt the PS3 gonna have 7-8 controller ports? I cant say if i remember correctly. I notice on that controller that it has 1-4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dunno why that controller only has 4 lights. Some sort of mock-up, the PS3 definitely has way more ports than that. RE: Wii (lol)- You honestly don't even want to try that new controller? Or Mario and Zelda Wii? I'm jaded and Nintendo frustrates mii, but you know those games are going to be masterful. I dunno about their third party support, though. It's a $299 system, I don't want to buy it just for first party Nintendo games. But I will anyway because I'm a loser. Here's a of the 1st MGS4 E3 clip, note the end of it. Note the entire thing, really, it's beyond divine. I wonder who fucked up Raiden's shit, and what the fuck is wrong with Snake, and why the fuck stuff happens. |

, much easier to admire the finer details of the graphics. |

ok so Sony have copied Nintendo and annouced that their controller too is motion sensitive. So quick to copy that they say the controller wont even have force feedback as this interferes with the gyroscopes they shoved in at the last minute. http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6149586.html Although it hasn't been officially announced, some websites are saying the nintendo Wii controller has a speaker in it to play sound effects like gunshots, ball hitting a racket etc sounds cool innit!! |
||||||||
|

I'm more excited by Wii than PS3. It rhymes and sounds dirty. Awesome. It's also true. The PS3 just seems so fucking overhyped already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Me too. I can't wait to see how the Nintendo games play and look. I heard a new Mario will be there!A little over 3.5 hours until their conference. Sony didn't really show many playable games, and the conference was a little boring. It surprized me they put tilting into the controller. Metal Gear looked insane though. I wonder what the actual game will look like. |
||||||||

They look stunning. I can't wait really. |

I'm glad there's no boomerangutan to distract from the established PS experience. I'm just waiting for the japanese to really kick in with their second-gen rpgs and action games, since launch titles tend to reflect quite poorly on the machine... ...Which is exactly the opposite case for Nintendo, at least when a Zelda or a Mario is prepped up for launch. I can't wait for new Mario, that much is true. |

G4 network all we long suckers. |

So true. The bulk of Nintendos own AAA games invariably seem to come out in the first 6 months of a new console. On most other formats, it seems to take a while to get going... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

haha looks wicked. so they HAVE done it up for the Wii... if they Wii launches with this, im so getting it when it comes out and taking a few days off work. |

Why did that go to a google search of goatse? |

That was a pretty good trailer! I am excited about that one! |

woohoo, I'm watching streaming Nintendo press conference as I write this! Thank you, gamespot... |
||||||||
|
|

Nintendo conference was terrific! Sony one was pretty horrible, especially the game videos... holy shit, they fell back from last year's pre-render orgy. |

The ''shell controller'' for the Wii Virtual Console, it's curvaceous like the SNES controller... not sure how you play N64 games with this though. |
||||||||

|
|
So they have a real actual controller now? That will make a world of difference. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's designed for playing the Virtual Console, which is what you use to download/play the older games. NES, SNES, N64, etc. You couldn't use the remote-thing to play the old stuff, so they needed something like this. You could probably use it to play some Wii games, too, but generally they'll be designed around the Wii-mote. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for N64, I reckon they use the right analogue stick to emulate the c-buttons, and the rest as in the original. Don't know where Z-trigger would be, though, unless there's one behind it. Maybe it's like R2 this time. Anyway, pretty neat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was thinking the same thing, extra stick= C-buttons. After all, they were originally supposed to be camera buttons. But I can't imagine that being comfortable... in reality, the C buttons were almost used as face/action buttons. Using an analogue stick to carry out those functions... that would just be unplayable for many games. Whatever, I'm sure I'm just missing something. |

Grand Theft Auto 4 was just announced for Xbox 360, it's going to land on PS3 and 360 at the same time in October 2007. Fuck that's far away. |
