Bad News: Closed to the public for the second year in a row.
Good News: G4 has a full week's worth of coverage starting July 14th!

There probably won't be any huge announcements since
a) next-gen is "aging" and it'll be a year or two until the announcements of new consoles.
b) most major selling titles for all consoles have next-gen sequels.
c) Nintendo has gone every possible route with motion censored gaming that they can.

I'm still going to watch, though. Who knows, something huge could blow gamers right out of the water.

The Toyko Game Show is where its all going to be at.

One of my friends are going to E3 since hes in with the game industry. Im going to be getting info as there giving.

Microsoft will announce the 60gig 360 and phasing out the 20gig sku. and might be announcing the newton [the wii style xbox 360 motion censor controller]
Sony will be giving more info on the games to come including home. and might be announcing there break away controller with a motion censor.
I dont know about nintendo.

Keep us updated, okay?
-Joe

Ill try.

Lol, isn't it funny that the two most advanced consoles are resorting to attempt to steal the Wii's thunder by using motion senser controllers?

Also, I think there could be many more possibilities for Nintendo to get from motion senser controls.

Nintendo owns this generation of consoles.
it's been the first time since super nintendo.
sony can't accept the lose though.

I'm hoping to hear some new handheld news because I want to buy one, but I don't want a PSP and there aren't too many good DS games unless I wanna puzzle myself to the death.


Sony is to Hilary Clinton as Nintendo is to Barack Obama.


So Sony and Microsoft have resorted to copying Nintendo? :bitch slap:
Also, what's a sku?

Well Sony's Sixx Axis is a motion sensor you can do shit in game with it.. But apparently alot of people dislike it lol.

Its not really a motion sensor. Can it detect at what part of the screen the controller is looking at? it only detects the tilting.

btw this is what the newton is rumored to look like


but I assure you thats what it wont look like.




Also some source reveled the Halo 4 is going to announce at E3. I hope not. I am a big halo fan but I think they should go into another direction.

Lol, that's totally fake.

Nintendo would have something to say about it.

Halo will be redone until the end of time because the people who aren't good at challenging games love sh00ting teh alienz.


yeah. The design absolutely sucks as well.

nintendo have someting big i have heard i just want a new star fox game it owned on the n64

I forgot about Star Fox. They haven't done one in a while, it'd be nice to see him again.

Hoping for a new Silent Hill 5 trailer in E3.
Yeah, Nintento does own this gen but I stuck with Sony, I got a PS3 couple of weeks ago to play MGS4, basiclly most of the games I'd be interested in playing -which is now down to Konami stuff like PES, SH & MGS- are on PS2 and PS3, I dunno what I am missing out with nintendo and not that interested either, I used to be a big super nintendo fan back in the day though, I remember some wild street fighter and mortal kombat nights in the 90's, heh.

Jay, Nintendo can't copyright the god damn shape of the remote. Considering it's the shape of alot of other remotes on this planet lol.

Star Fox is coming to 360.

I prefer the old E3. It used to be quite interesting.

New Newton prototype.

I honestly think Bungie could take their games in a really cool direction. Like, not make a Halo 4 but just make a really cool game.


Wait, what did you just say??

Ignore him, I am pretty sure the PS3 takes it with a Blu-Ray player, new gen games console hard drive with upgrade opportunities, internet, media centre abilities, able to run Windows, OSX and Linux.. I mean what more could you want? other than a recordable Blu-Ray drive. Also cheapest Blu-Ray player you will find.

The Halo series is was never Bungies it was always Microsoft's. Bungie just made it and stuff. Now that Bungie went indie last year Bungie isnt making an Halo 4 but they are doing something else , maybe something to do with Marathon. Bungie is suppose to say something at this years E3 about there next game and no its not Halo Wars, bungie has nothing to do with that game.

Wii sold more consoles, though.

Yeah because It was so hard to find.

I assumed that gaming consoles were for gaming.

NOT with a whole load of added half arsed bullshit, that you could get alot better with buying the dedicated formats.




If Wii's were easier to find, it would be so much further out of sight of the PS3 and Xbox 360.

In the period of time since it was released, the Wii has sold more than the 360 and PS3 combined, I think it's pretty much got this generation in the bag.

I still cant find one. The wii mostly sold because of the motion control. The game cube was a failure so they had to think of something different. The wii brought in alot of new gamers young and old but it still doesnt have enough games for me to want to buy it.

Oh and the stuff they addd to the other systems. Now in days people are looking more for their money. I bought the ps3 specifically for blu ray and psp compatibility but I have no games for it. The only thing I do on the 360 is game, I wont use the dvd for the 360 mainly because I don't want my 360 to over heat and die.

Fair enough, but the gaming population doesn't revolve wround what you want, it's what the majority want, and that is the Wii.

I will ALWAYS make my choice based on gaming. If a console has a million features, but eff all worth playing on it, then I won't buy it.

That just exemplifies the fact that more people wanted it. First of all, so many people bought it to make it hard to find, and secondly, people were willing to search to get one.


I get quite annoyed as well when gaming consoles are famed for their secondary features.

Yeah.. Only because it was the cheapest all because it wasn't boasting what the other two have.


Yeah I don't want a Wii because the games I would want on it I can get on PS2.. With the same graphics for cheaper.


Well you assumed wrong. Alot of people want more features for their money, Like to be able to surf the net or watch a Blu-Ray movie in HD

I assumed wrong? That's why the wii is pissing this generation.

The majority don't want another lame re-hash of an FPS that was shite in the first place, or another fuck-load of racing sims that have no difference to the first game of a certain series.


Sure, Nintendo have their franchises, but by approaching them in a different angle has drawn the crowd, leaving the Xbox and PS3 way, way behind, despite their technological superiority.

Yeah no one wants a re-hash of a shit FPS, that'd be why The Orange Box was one of the best selling game packages of 2007 with it's shit re-make of Team Fortress with TF2 along with HL2 Episode 2, Portal, HL2 and HL2 Episode 1.
Also GT5 prologue is also another big hit on the PS3 already.. so idk what you have been reading also Left 4 Dead looks like it'll beat the shit out of Resi Evil and those other Zombie games and it is actually not looking like a copy of others.

I said the Majority.

Which doesn't mean 'nobody'. Clearly there are some guys who still need to display their 'masculinity' by pumping a million bullets into pixellated characters for the trillionth time, or tuning up some dumb car.

Oh god a shit load of stuff was announced

The best thing is that the 360's dashboard is getting a completely redesigned face lift.


yes there will be avatars which I am not to fond of.

Fall out 3 looks amazing
a new game called "were in the movies" looks great and I will be buying it
announcement of Portal 2
and get ready for this Final Fantasy 13

loads more to come

^ shit..... was today the first day?

yup. but it was just the Microsoft press conference. Tomorrow is when the rest of the stuff happens.

Oh and don't forget the sony and Nintendo conference tomorrow.

tomorow is going to be crazy.
nintendo i'm waiting for something huge...

Valve have already confirmed there is a good chance of a Portal 2 due to Portal's popularity but it won't be for some time same with Counter-Strike 2

Redesigned dashboard? wowzers....


Can't wait to see what Nintendo have up their sleeves.

There wasnt much.

Wii resort
wii music
wii sports resort
wii mic
wii motion plus.

God.

So so far, E3 '08 has sucked major balls.

Lets see what sony has to offer in about 25 minutes.

oh and I forgot

the wii will get a new animal crossing
and the DS will get a 100% roaming GTA game called grand theft auto china town.

I don't like Animal Crossing, and I think a DS GTA will be far too restrictive.

Let's hope Sony can sort this bloody mess out.

yeah, it bored the hell out of me

There weren't alot from Sony

God of War 3
resistance 2
little big planet
Home
More movies

One big thing that Sony blew me away with was a game called "Mag". I love online multiplayer games but this game is going to be amazing. Its going to have online matches with 256 people and I thought 25 was big.

i was disappointed with nintendo.

I need either a summary of what the three majors released or a listing of reruns from coverage from the past two days. Fucking New Hampshire.

Microsoft:
New dashboard
Resident evil 5
Final Fantasy 13
and a bunch of games

Sony:
Introduced video store
Mag [256 players in a match]

Wii resort
wii music
wii sports resort
wii mic
wii motion plus.

This year is all about the games. Not much new hardware

Wii sounds exciting. Microsoft sounds pretty good. Sony is fucking laughable. I don't even think 256 people bought PS3.

Microsoft won. Microsoft had 2 more things up there sleeves that would of brought sony and nintendo to there knees but there goin gto wait for a special convention to announce them.
