Any predictions? any one got any big hopes?

Microsoft Press Conference:

The Biggest news at the Microsoft Press Conference was that "Final Fantasy XIII" is also going to be out on 360, meaning Sony has lost another Exclusive, Other big news was the announcement of "Portal Still Alive", Fans of the original "Portal" game should definitely be happy, I know I am!

Playable demos of Gears of wars , Fallout 3 and Resident Evil 5!

Fallout 3 offers exclusive downloadable content to the 360, Resi 5 can be played Co-op over live, and fable 2 offers co op over live but without the Lobbys or any other messing around, it's just pop in and play.
GoW2 also offers Co-op up to 5 people in a mode called "Horde", and was clearly the best graphical game out the bunch.

Microsoft announced their new dashboard update which includes Avatars, which is basically Mii's. mostly the update is an attempt to brush in on Nintendo turf of casual gamer market.

A few Xbox Live Arcade games announced, with "portal Still Alive" being Exclusively on Arcade.
Some game called " Your in the movies" which is basically a Eyetoy. but you then can make budget type movies from the mini games you played.
Microsoft also got a game called "Lips" which is Singstar on the playstation....somehow Microsoft have stole off everyone....I thought sony were bad. Sony got a lot of catching up to do.

Nintendo Press Conference:

Shaun White shows off Shaun White's Snowboarding for the Wii using the Balance Board. It seems to work well.
It's Exclusive to Wii.

Animal Crossing for the wii is shown, it comes out in 2008, and is called Animal Crossing: City Folk The game now lets you travel to the city instead of being stuck in your own town!
Animal crossing: City Folk uses Wii speak(It's a headset but stands on top of the sensor bar.), where up to 4 people can use it in a room to talk to 4 other people at once, instead of a normal Headset!
Online is confirmed.

Star wars: The Clone wars is shown, with has head to head lightsaber battles, Rayman Raving Rabbits is been shown, which uses the Balance board and wiimote.
Call Of Duty: World At War is shown, shows Wii Zapper being used and Co-op, looks quite good for a wii game, graphic wise.

Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades on DS is shown, which shows off song sharing.
Spore is shown on the DS
Grand Thief Auto: China Town Wars is announced as an exclusive GTA game for the DS.

Reggie is showing off the new WiiMotion Plus with is 1:1 motion device.
Wii Motion Plus is being shown off with Wii Sports: Resort. (basically Wii Sports 2)

Some guy is playing drums using the wiimote and nunchuck, Methinks it's Wii Music.
It is Wii music.
Myamoto is now playing a trumpt with the wiimote.
Wii Music offers over 50 Musical Instruments.
Drums uses Balance Board for pedals to be a real drum kit.
Members of Nintendo and Myamoto are playing the theme of Super Mario on Wii Music.

and it's over...a bit weak if I my say so myself...Normally Nintendo own E3, hmm we'll see if Sony can do any better.


Sony Press Conference:

Coming Soon!








I'm hoping for Sega to announce Skies Of Arcadia 2 and for which console, Wii or PS3, god i hope it's not the latter, as much as i want to play MGS4 and LBP(w/e it's called) and SOA2, I simply can't spend cash on a PS3 right now.

I looking forward to see Nintendo's Press Conference, as they are always have the best conference's due to how fun they are to watch, and I've never really been disappointed at E3 by them.
Also looking forward to see how the playable version's of "The Conduit", "Skate It" and "Madworld" hold up, for the Wii.

Banjo-Kazooie 3, I'm a bit meh about it, but would like to see it in action before i make any judgment on it.It would be nice to see how Sonic Unleashed is turning out, even if i have no faith in the series anymore.

Prototype, Fable 2, Mirror's Edge and the new Prince of Persia games I'll be having a close eye on, and anything Square Enix puts out, that's eye catching.

*bump*

No one cares hmm?

It's started today, gonna watch the Microsoft conference soon.

*delete this*

Ok, my ears have gone up.

PS3 is gettting one less exclusive:

Just as Snake, me and a couple others predicted would happen. Sony is lacking now.
I am a bit hoping that a new console will come to the scene, Not from Sony, M$ or Nintendo, but a new apprentice.
(I reach far)

I personally thought Apart from Portal 2 and FFXIII being announced for the 360, Microsoft's press conference lacked anything that amazing.

Looking forwards to Sony's Conference, to say what they have to say...

Nintendo updates controller to allow 1:1 Motion.

Lightsaber battles = ftw, can't wait for Ninty's pres conference now.

*bump*

Won't be able to Watch Sony Conferrence...oh well...


So what's everyones thoughts on E3 so far?

Dunno, I really haven't been paying close attention. Since my usage has been used up, I haven't been able to watch any of the live feeds or recordings or whatnot.. I've only heard things that has been on this and other forums. But I'm happy because of Final Fantasy... :D

I am not on early in the day, but I am sure I can scrounge up some info somewhere about it.
Like this very interesting video about The next Zelda game. I am wondering if it will be true. Skip it to 1:52 and you will hear en excerpt from a podcast that was omitted about it.

The Wii Music and Wii Sports 2 seems Verry Interesting. Il definetly getting the Wii music :)
And Microsoft's ripped of too much >:(

Now lets see what Sony can come up with.. guess they suprise us with yet another game with awesome graphics :) *and shitty gameplay*
