E3 2009 Discussion thread

[Sexy_Raine]

I think it's about that time. Yes, it's like 4 days away, but lets gather what we know so far.

These have been confirmed to be shown:

Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain
White Knight Chronicles
God of War 3
MAG
Final Fantasy Vs. XIII
Final Fantasy XIII
Bioshock 2
COD Modern Warfare 2
Untitled SE MMO
Demon's Souls

That's all I know, but there's still more. I hope there's some good surprises in Sony's Conference. And hopefully Nintendo's Conference won't be as shitty as last year's.
I don't really care about MS's conference, the others here can post their news.

I'll be constantly browing for info until then.

EDIT: One more thing, please don't debate about the mystery Hideo Kojima game here. Do it in the other thread.

I know it's silly and setting myself up for disappointment, but I'm kind of interested in seeing some hands-on coverage of High Voltage Software's two new Wii games: Gladiator AD and The Grinder. Sometimes you just gotta root for the underdog (and having played The Conduit a few months back at NYCC, I'm not entirely convinced of their ability, but I am hopeful)!

I'm looking forward to whatever Metal Gear game we're going to hear about. I'm also curious about the PSP Go!, the upcoming UMD-less upgrade to the PSP.

Obviously I'm looking forward to any new information on No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle - it won't be playable, but I'm sure we'll hear some more news about it.

There's some hope that we'll hear about Half-Life 2: Episode 3, so that's exciting.

I'm guessing that we'll see some gameplay footage (or even hands-on preview coverage) of Halo 3: ODST, which is also exciting.

I feel like the Sony conference and the Microsoft conference are going to be a lot of fun, but at the same time I feel like a lot of the would-be surprises have already been ruined by leaks. There hasn't been much leaked about the Nintendo conference, which makes me hopeful that they've got some big surprises up their sleeve, but I'm also prepared for the entire conference being about Wii Fit Plus.

The good thing is that I don't think I've got any meetings during the big three press conferences, so I should be able to be tuned in (even if it's just to a live blog.)

It's an exciting time! (I always love E3 season.)

Ooh, look at the cute puppy!

[goldbrease]

.... yeah great job guys! you still haven't released the blasted thing and most game companies don't seem to care.

You saw nintendo's e3 last year and you don't remember Cammie playing with the "cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute puppy"?

[McLaughlin]

I'm really looking forward to more info on Mass Effect 2. Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3: ODST are also high on my list of things I hope to get more info about.

Nintendo better put some stuff in their conference for the "hardcore" gamers, but, honestly, I'm not holding my breath.

Also, needs more Kingdom Hearts III. *Gets shot*

[Zarode]

Demon's Souls

I imported this game. I played it.





Best fucking game ever. Best. Fucking. Game.

[joefro]

I expect Microsoft to:
Announce the NXE's new features for the fall update (Zune Marketplace, Netflix movie parites)
Show Bungie some love with a long demo of ODST
GTAIV:BOGT
The Beatles: Rock Band
Bragging about Xbox LIVE's numbars
No J Allard
Crackdown 2
Alan Wake (about fucking time)
Mass Effect 2
Modern Warfare 2 Exclusive DLC

I expect Sony to:
Not cut the PS3 price
PSP Go! (hopefully not that name)
Lots of PSP love, little PS3 love
God of War III demoed
MAG demoed

I expect Nintendo to:
Brag about how many DSi's they've sold to moms across the world
Show a 30 second teaser for Mario or Zelda
Shaun White 2 (Cammie with no shoes and all)
Virtual Console on DSi w/Gameboy, Color, Advanced downloads
Wii Fit Plus

What I have no idea of:
Bioshock 2 exlusive to PS3 or 360
PS3 Slim

What I dream of:
Nintendo announces ten+ core games, firing of Cammie
Xbox Portable (no zune w/touchscreen, I want a PSP like device with buttons!)
Sony cuts the PS3 by $150
ELDER SCROLLS F'ING V

I'm really glad that this years E3 is returning to old. It just feels right. The last two E3 shows were like boring corporate shenanigans. Here's to the good 'ol E3!

That's the thing about Nintendo's press conference, they most likely don't have much new things to leak out. I'm expecting at least one "core" game, a Mario or Zelda. It still won't be like the old Nintendo that would show five or six core games at E3.

While I'm entirely prepared for that, I just have a gut feeling that there are some interesting titles they could announce. There are a lot of little details that could mean that we're getting some new core games (though sequels, for the most part), along with a good number of core games coming from 3rd parties that makes me feel like there might be a few more hiding just over the horizon.

You can't blame me - I still remember watching the stream of E3 2006 where it was just mind-blowing announcement after mind-blowing announcement. Can't blame a guy for dreaming, right?

[goldbrease]

bioshock 2 has already been announced for all 3 consoles, i don't think its going to be an exclusive because of that. if anything it would likely be a timed exclusive for ps3 since the company gave bioshock ps3 exclusive dlc.

as well mass effect 2 has also been announced for ps3 as well as deadrising2 (if your bringing us 2? why not give us the first game already? hoping that if they do a never ending mode again its actually never ending mode and not you lose hp over time mode.

ow there is most likely 1 core game for Nintendo as they showed some screens at an earlier event, the link riding the train ds game >.>
could we stop with cartoon link and do some more tp zelda games instead? everyones screaming for a sequel!
