some kind of wii hide-and-seek proof of concept
more wiiware developments in the pipe, revamp of online store
xbox 360 smaller footprint/quieter form factor and price cut to be on shelves after halloween

pilotwings

more vaporware demos from Sony re: "Home" and drooly prerendered sequel samples for something like Assassin's Creed 2 and an in-house rhythm/dance game for casuals

satoru iwata pisses everybody off again with some bullshit that can't POSSIBLY fly in this industry

http://i30.tinypic.com/2ag14w4.gif

how long is the 360's lifecycle? Are we already halfway through?

ok no, they say they're going to keep the 360 supported for a decade.

not this decade tho amirite? </RRoD zing>

I don't think the new DS will be shown just yet (maybe next year?)
Too early for Portal 2
I would guess new xbox would be in 2010 or 2011

I'm hoping Geometry Wars 2 will be released during the MS press conference! Then Sony will counter-attacks by finally releasing Wipeout HD.

segagaga 2

wii harddrive, surely.

seriously?

At this point, not having enough storage is fuckin' with their wiiware business model. If they don't do it, I would imagine a second party would. Fifty to a hundred bucks for a 5 to 10 gig attachment sounds like it'd sell.

Standard SD card capacities range from 8 MB to 4 GB and for high capacity SDHC cards 8 MB to 32 GB as of 2008.

or I guess the Wii can only address up to 2GB worth of sectors in the SD slot.

GTA4 DLC previews.

goldeneye...on XBLA

From what I hear, Rare already made this (or at least demoed it), but then Nintendo said no, so it didn't get finised/released.

;_;

romance of the three kingdoms XXVIII

It does seem oddly shortsighted of Nintendo to push WiiWare so hard but then completely leave out any storage solution, but then again, they've blown it with online enough times that anything's possible.

I don't think they've blown it, I think they've focussed on playing games with your friends rather than 12-year-olds and sociopaths, and as a result have had to make do with selling more consoles than anyone else.

Tell that to my friends who have I have to trade friend codes with for every single freaking game on the DS. I was a GameCube owner last generation too, so I'm pretty jaded when it comes to Nintendo in this area...

(and why IS Planet Puzzle League the only DS game that does in-game internet voice chat, with the DS's features it's a no-brainer) but this is getting kind of off track. Either way E3 is kind of a shell of what it once was, I'm not expecting anything too crazy.

I don't think andrew was referring to nintendo's online efforts when he referred to playing with your friends - I don't think anyone can seriously think that nintendo's online implementation is anything but laughable at this point; it is far too fiddly and lacks a lot of the features that 360 owners take for granted

not that I'm arguing there isn't the problem of teenagers and sociopaths with the 360 but the online experience is just so much smoother and enjoyable; not more enjoyable than playing with your friends obv. but that presumes you have friends who like playing video games

sorry that's not really fair to nintendo - there's lots that's great about their online stuff (wiiware, the channels) but until they do away with friend codes and move to a friends list system they're borked

Wii Punch-Out?
http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=12024

Man, I hope so!

I keep seeing the EEE and thinking this thread is about Eee PCs or something.

ok, nobody saw this coming ...
http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/eMMuRj_N6vntHPDycCJAKWhEO9zBvyPH

obviously anything which points towards widespread adoption of 1:1 is a big win (especially if it means 1:1 in that Star Wars lightsaber duelling game and the rumored upcoming Wii Punch-Out), but isn's this just the motion-sensing equivalent to the N64's graphical expansion pak? that sure didn't turn out too well...

it depends what they do with it i suppose. packed in free with Wii Sports 2?

yeah, laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame unless it's free in which case okay then.

This MS conference is ZZzzzzzz ...

portal 2 and geometry wars 2 coming soon to xbla

that movies game presentation was sooooooo awkward, almost a ridge racer giant crab level of MAKE THEM STOP PLEASE.
still, portal 2!

Does anyone here care about FFXIII?

for old times' sake

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g1fr5vk72M

The Portal expansion pack was definitely a surprise to me. Cool on them. I wonder how many levels it'll be? And if it will show up on PC?

wiimotionplus

five hundred and 99 us dollars

(sry just goofing around w/older EEE footage)

so with wii motionplus inserted on the wiimote can you plug a nunchuck into the bottom of the expansion pak?

http://www.bizarrecreations.com/games/geometry_wars_retro_evolved_2

i care about FFXIII, if for no reason other than that's REALLY gotta chafe sony!

yeah that seems kind of a huge deal
am of course stoked for whatever ridiculous silly demo iwata plans to put on tomorrow

I'm pretty damn curious too. The more precise movement add-on seems kind of weird but it doesn't really cater strongly to anyone except for a small hardcore group who might want more accurate lightsaber fights or baseball bat simulation. Of course I fully expect whatever demo they show tomorrow to blow this theory to pieces.

(also kinda interesting they seem to be ditching the nunchuk with this thing)

yeah the nunchuk is a caveat to the hardcore who do not know how to live without an analog nipple under at least one thumb. what this is going to do is enable a whole variety of interactions with movement beyond the one-axis minigame type things which have been par for the course. unfortunately I cannot think of any specific activity ridiculous enough that would use full 1:1 3d motion capture while only requiring one hand.

For all we know though he's going to get up there with TWO of them, and start KNITTING

The nunchuck still plugs into the back, I think

I know the Roku or a computer attached to the tv would do the same thing, but I gotta say that the Netflix partnership + price cut + eventual FFXIII - red ring issues = me FINALLY gettin' and Xbox by year's end.

they still need to make it in a form factor that I wouldn't want to hide in a brown paper bag. a price cut is nice and probably signals that the Jasper chipset will be in full swing by August, but I think I'll wait it out until Valhalla next year, if I ever wind up getting one.

no argument on that point, it's ugly as sin and screams college dorm.

New 3D Sonic that will be shit
A whole new Nintendo handheld that isn't a DS redesign
A new handheld from Microsoft, labelled 'iphone killer' for no apparent reason
Another Zelda that's the same as all the other Zeldas
Gran Turismo 26 or whatever it's up to

the dynamic DNA announcement is definitely the coolest reveal so far

SPORTS GAMES

new prince of persia looks nice!

nintendo keynote is under way!!

animal crossing wii plzzzzzzz

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars coming to DS this holiday. Set in Liberty City, free-roaming gameplay.

Reggie just gave a shout-out to NeoGAF. LOL.

WiiMusic ... whoa! Looks kind of good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-uTnqYHZ-I

This game will be another massive hit with the Today Show crowd.

Ha, no Kid Icarus! IGN is a bunch of chumps.

Missed the first half of the nintendo thing, but the second half sure was underwhelming

animal crossing city folk is exciting tho!!

wow, that was a surprisingly amateurish presentation, like an hour long infomercial caught at 2am on some godforsaken cable channel. wiimusic presentation as bad as that microsoft movies one - shiggy what were you thinking!?!?

he was thinking the last time his folks needed to impress anybody at E3 was 2006

lol

http://i37.tinypic.com/mh3urp.jpg

antexit, is that guy, like, faking it? he seems like a really good satire of what he's being... but if he is actually like that then wow.

like honestly. toasting with milk in a wine glass? there's no way this isn't made up!!!

oh god "public sudeku" HAHAH

That dude is a Goon from SA.

i want to kiss him

the more details abt animal crossing that emerge, the less exciting it sounds

it's basically the GCN version minus the nes games and with a tiny hub area

the multiplayer disconnection issue tht plagued the DS version is still in there: if one party disconnects, each other party has to reboot

Bioware's Dragon Age: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q-jVM9fe8w

am not crazy about their engine but it will satisfy the rpg geek in me. (that being 99% of me). better come out on 360 though b/c my pc can barely handle tetris.

Flower looks like it might be real awesome if the gameplay can match the visuals. A great stoner game.

8 million Boba Fetts incoming

more like 8 million twi'lek jedi strippers

Now that I think about it, it has been a while since Bioware did one of their generic DnD-style fantasy games, though I'm much more glad to see other kinds.
