If so then I might actually attend next year's e3.

I know nintendo expressed interest in revealing revolution at e32k5 interest this year, but it seems unlikely that they'll have it playable for next e3 (spaceworld?).

What about the others?, Will there be playable units of xenon and ps3 on the show floor next year?

 

[lexi]

I'm a pessimist. I'd expect a playable Xenon; screenshots, videos of PS3, and hopefully a logo for Revolution.

Speaking of which, is it hard to get into a pre-E3 Nintendo conference?

Perfect Dark Zero

Playable demo like Halo 2 at E32k3 i reckon. Cant believe its almost time!

I concur with this post.

 

[human5892]

Playable Xenon for sure. Tech demos and/or software for the PS3 and Revolution.

 

[Elios83]

Kutaragi said the PS3 wuold be playable.
Maybe only interactive tech demos but playable.

 

[neptunes]

Then I'm going for sure!

EDIT: for xenon

 

[bonesquad]

Almost time for what? The 5 month away E3 2005?

Playable? Xbox 2 - Yes, PS3 - No, The Rev - Who car, err, No.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

The only console that may have playable software for next gen will be MS, Sony and Nintendo will probably just show tech demos. More than likely the tech demos will be of games in development. Nintendo will probably showcase Super Smash Bros 3, Sony will probably be showing a vid from Koei.

 

[missAran]

Maybe Nintendo will hold a Spaceworld this year and reveal Revolution like they did GameCube. I'm confident in at least some Mario, Zelda, and Metroid tech demo for Revolution.

 

[sonycowboy]

Xenon - Yes
PS3 - No. I agree, lots of videos along with the hardware specs (for the most part)
GCN - No. Some videos of big Nintendo franchises with some hardware specs.

 

[neptunes]

remember e3 '99 and Gran Turismo next?

 

[sonycowboy]

Kutaragi said the PS3 wuold be playable.

IIRC, I don't believe that he did. Only that it would be "unveiled" by then end of FY 2005 and "shown" at E3, which leaves a tremendous amount of wiggle room.

 

[TekunoRobby]

All three consoles will be playable so be sure to call up all of your friends and their friends friends and come to E3. Also contact the local newspapers and inform everyone to go to E3. I want E32K5 to be the largestest clusterfuck of people ever imagined. Also tell them to bring a DS, I want to personally send e-penis to all on the showfloor.

I would like to know this.

 

[xexex]

Xenon, for sure

PS3, probably

Revolution, highly doubt it

 

[Hooker]

Nope, just videos I reckon... if we're lucky

 

[mrklaw]

Anyone think they'll port GT4 with new graphics to PS3 early in its life? In which case that could be playable/rolling demo at E3 2005.

Surely this time they modelled the cars in high detail knowing PS3 was around the corner, and they don't have to start afresh?

 

[ourumov]

Xenon will be playable for sure. PS3...I doubt it although Sony could do what they did with PSP where it wasn't uncertain if it was playable or not...I doubt Nintendo will bring their next system there.

 

[neptunes]

nah, they already confirmed that a GT5 is in the pre-production stages.

 

[soundwave05]

Revolution will be unveiled at E3 2005 according to Nintendo.

I expect the system to be really wacky and out there, but that's fine, I'm kinda curious to see what they do with it.

The industry would be a bit boring if you had three companies wanting to do the exact same thing.

Xenon will have to be playable, otherwise it would really throw a fall 2005 launch in serious doubt. Sony will probably have something too, simply because they won't want to get upstaged (Grand Theft Auto Next Gen?).

 

[StrikerObi]

Yes.

 

[Blimblim]

Xenon will be playable with quite a few games being first shown, with some old and not so old franchises and hopefully even a few new stuff
This year I should be there. *can't wait*

 

[gofreak]

As others have said, playable Xenon, PS3/Revolution videos/presentations.

 

[sonycowboy]

Expect magic from the PSP

 

[M3wThr33]

I expect the DS to be playable there.
