So, what is there to look forward to at this year's E3?

AniHawk said:
I'm sorry you're wrong, but you are. The trailer was something special. Think about the way it was shown off and what people thought it would look like. Pretty much everyone before E3 thought it would be a cel-shaded game like TWW. Then they show off this game without mentioning the name. Just "one more world," as it was called. There wasn't even a hint of what it could be. Then as dramatic music began playing, you see someone on a horse. If someone was a huge, huge fan, they would have recognized the music from the OoT commercial, clearly giving it away. However, I'm sure many didn't know it was Riders of Doom, and when the hero was finally revealed, everyone had every right to cheer as they did. Nintendo finally listened (or as some will argue, caved in) to its fans. The trailer was brilliantly showed off.

During the conference, I completely forgot they were supposed to show a new Zelda, and before the conference, I seriously doubted there being a "mature Zelda" unveiled before their next system was released. Just look all around GAF, people without Gamecubes who have sold them or have them and don't use them anymore are interested in the game because of the change. Even people like DJ Demon J (who I admit, puts on really just an act, but it's hard to separate the lies from the truth) look forward to this game. At work, I've seen people stare wide-eyed at the Zelda boxart we have on display. At last E3, I saw people literally gape at the trailer playing on the big screen while in line for the DS or some game.

It was a very big deal, and it was only a trailer.

Dont say shit like "i am sorry your wrong..." because your opinion isnt worth shit in a bucket over mine. You are entitled to your own opinion and i am not going to knock you for that.

To me it was just a trailer, nothing more. Excelent Trailers are a dime a dozen and so are display cases, posters etc. Its the gameplay that grabs me. I feel exactly the same abou the halo 2 trailer. Whoopee do fuck, its masterchief..... but how does it play ?

night and day system
how hyrule is set up this time
main villian
new puzzles

story
items

etc. and finally, this is my fav pic of the trailer

I hope there is a fresh new main enemy and story; I am very tried of the traditional Zelda formula.

There'll be lots to see at this years E3:

- Nintendo will show Revolution and officially announce that the mature Zelda game is coming on the new console
- Nintendo will show Revolution versions of all its franchises (SSB, SM, Pikmin, Mario Tennis, Soccer, Football, Baseball, Volleyball, Kart, etc.) and announce strong third party support for the console.
- Microsoft shows Xenon/Xbox2 with some very impressive XNA tech demos. PDZero and True Fantasy Live Online will be launch titles for the console.
- Rockstar will announce the next gen Grand Theft Auto and they'll show the PSP version of GTA
- Sega will announce Shenmue 3 and a sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga and Nights (but I'm not 100% sure about this :D)
- Sony will announce that the PS3 is so powerfull, it could be in the Top 10 of worlds most powerfull supercomputers and show some FFXII FMVs saying they are calculated in real time.
- Take 2 will announce new Amped and Links games for Xbox and PS2

and much more

:lol :lol

This is a joke post... right? You'd be lucky to see even two of those.
 
Ive never found any E3 boring. Every year something manages to impress me. In 2004, MFS3 was enough to blow me away, but there was so much else there, such as Halo 2, Half Life 2, Paper mario, prince Of Persia (yes, I was looking forwards to this game) Metroid prime 2 and so much more. This year, we will have info of all consoles, maybe even prototypes or games for those consoles and Zelda, which enough to satisfy me.
 
MS: Playable Xenon titles, probably including PD0 and some bastardized Halo 2.5 "special edition".

Nintendo: Playable Zelda, Revolution demo reel.

Sony: Late-gen PS2 titles (FFXII, W&C,DQVIII) as well as second-gen PSP titles and PS3 demo reel.

Wow, you bash Halo 2 fanboys for getting up in arms over their video game trailers and then go off like this about a Zelda trailer? Can you spell H-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-e?

where does it say he bash halo2 fans?

I think it will be a Konami co-developed game, not Too Human.

Where to hell do you have this from? Just because Denis Dyack hoped for more work with Konami in the future? Because I sure as hell don't see any indication of such collaboration.

No way, it was just a trailer and the kidies were creaming their pants saying "OMG this is the best game evar etc... etc". Imagine what a bit of gameplay will do :lol
If you (well, maybe not you, but you get the idea) posted this a year ago, I could have sworn you were talking about Halo 2.

I might be wrong, but that sure as hell seems like an implied insult to the people who were creaming themselves over the first Halo 2 trailer. Not saying I don't agree with him about this, it's just funny that he would feel that way about the way people reacted to the Halo 2 trailer and then laud the Zelda trailer as a "special experience" or whatever.
 
Zelda has a bit more of a history in video games than Halo does. And a better one at that. While Halo is the big thing right now, it surely won't last forever. However, in the end, there will still be Zelda.

Here's hoping to an unveiling of SSB:Revolution.

Maybe you missed it, but the original post was that little kiddies got excited over Zelda, so his reply was not really uncalled for.

Ah, I perceived his response to be directed at the fact that people were getting too excited over the trailer (and thus indirectly insulting people who got excited over the Halo 2 trailer), not that the poster in specific mentioned that it was kids.

They(Nintendo+Konami+Dyack) said that they're working on an original game. Didn't he?

oh well, does it really annoy you that much? It goes both ways. Anihawk is one of the most respected posters here.
 
There's quite a few DS titles I want to see more from

Final Fantasy 3
Super Princess Peach
Xenosaga
Castlevania

probably alot more we dont know about.
 
Shiggy said:

Lol, no. It was just his freaking wish for the near future, which was even months before the 2nd party break with Nintendo. Pretty much BS.

But the break needn't mean that they aren't exclusive anymore. They could have a deal with Konami. But tha't pure speculation of mine :lol
 
Its all about Xennon, PS3 and Revolution this e3. Everything else can go to hell

Perfect Dark Zero!!! :D + new Rare projects :D :D

I understand that, and I know as I have been here for quite some time. I just think blatant hypocrisy is funny, and I was pointing it out. And for the record, I'm not entirely convinced that my interpretation of his posts was incorrect, unless he wants to come in and correct me.

And what does the "it goes both ways" comment mean? I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of his actions, not defending either point. I might agree with him entirely on both grounds, but that's irrelevant to the point that I made.
 
If people are searching for how Nintendo is being really aggressive in the future, look to how we're reaching out for collaborations. Domination isn't going to happen overnight. Kojima says that he wants to do another collaboration, so after we finish our prospective projects, we're going to get together again and make something great. The industry is changing -- the merger of western and eastern developers is the future. The developers in North America just don't have the history that Japanese ones do, and I'll tell you, working with these guys... they know some really great stuff, and I'm blown away by their attention to detail. In some ways, American developers act like they're rock stars, and anything they touch must be cool. I don't know if they analyze what makes their games good or not, but a lot of them have one huge hit and never repeat it again. Then, five years later, they go out of business and people are, like, what happened? Meanwhile, in Japan, the developers have been able to continue franchises and innovate with them.


I think that's an inofficial confirmation.
 
Soley based on the fact that we know very little about releases late 2005 and early 2006 makes E3 very interesting this year. Perhaps more so than last year, when most of the big stuff had been shown at E3 2003.
 
The gaming media has always found a way to splooge over the games they didn't play at E3. Zelda will probably the most talked about playable game, but the attention will go to the next-gen consoles.

I expect the PS2 and GCN to still have a decent array of new titles being announced and unvieled.... Xbox, not so much. It won't be like last year, but still good. The PSP/DS war doesn't really interest me, outside of the reactions on this board.
 
I'm hopeful Polyphony will show off GT4 online, which is said to be arriving in June. Also, Wanda and God of War stand a good chance of stealing the show, solidifying Sony's ascent to the top of 1st party development. New PSP titles should be a huge attraction. I don't really care about Xenon, but I'm interested in what PS3 tidbits will be revealed.
 
I'd imagine that after Jade Empire, Doom 3, and GTA:SA, we won't be seeing much more out of the Xbox.

The real question is whether EA will have a thorougly next-gen Madden available at Xenon launch.

Said to be arriving by whom?

Even if both those games come out awesome, that'd hardly solidify their "ascent to the top of 1st party development." Nintendo will still hold that storied crowd.

XS+ said:

This I agree with. But on the other hand, I bet DS titles will be an equally huge attraction.

XS+ said:

I'm interested in both. A lot.

maybe wednesday night at CES.

Bill is giving the keynote.

The thing is, Bill Gates always gives the keynote every year, I don't know why everyone thinks just cause he's giving it that it means automatically Xenon will be shown..... I think it's more likely that it'll be unveiled at GDS in february. But please billy boy, prove me wrong.
 
All I know is I'll be booking a 3 day holiday over E3 for all the coverage. Best time to be on GAF. Hopefully the powers that be will organise another culling to make sure enough bandwidth is on hand.

this is true, but i'd imagine that there would be some dissapointment if he didn't even mention it. Especially considering that Sony will be flooding the media with PSP launch info all day.

Even if it's just a "dancing robot" demo, it'll be something.

it's because the Xbox was unveiled at CES.

I never said Halo 2 wasn't a special experience. The anticipation from the first trailer. Pics being leaked out slowly, slowly, slowly... Then small details from just the multiplayer being sent out, to Ilovebees. Lots of anticipation and really one of the coolest moments in game history as far as bringing fans together in a positive way.

Yeah, I recognize your comment was directed at the "kiddies" part and not at the general reaction the trailer generated. I apologize for mischaracterising your post.
