E3 2010

[Dimentionalist]

Might as well kick it off with this:

360 slim.

Can't wait for 3DS, Zelda, and Tales of Graces (yeah right).

[Cless Aileron]

If that redesigned Xbox 360 is telling me something, it's that I get the feeling there's some revisioning with the systems going on (what with everyone going on with the Xbox 360 Slim to stop the RRoD stuff).

Personally, I'm waiting to see if Sony actually announces if they're bringing back PS2 Backward Compatibility.  I'm only going by my gut here based on the fact that the PS2 is ready to head to the retirement home, which is why it's on my mind about predicting Sony's announcements.  That and the PS3 is finally getting on track.  However, it's something I'm not going to put in an actual bet (even if I think the timing's right and all that, I don't trust my gut on it).

Only thing with games right now is Gears of War 3, Dead Rising 2, and of course, Marvel Vs Capcom 3! (IT'S MAHVEL BABY!)  I already know Dante and Deadpool has officially been shown in the latest trailer.  Now, I just want to really see Deadpool beat up his opponent with his own life bar that I've been hearing about.

There's Rock Band 3 but I have to admit that, learning to play a real instrument has never been one of my pursuit, which is what this new sequel is going after (that and there's the keyboard addition).

Crossing my fingers for the announcement of ToV PS3 localization during the Namco Presser. =P

Persona 5 too, highly doubt a P5 announcement will happen at E3 though, more likely at JF or TGS. :/

That's the first thing I thought of after digesting the fact for a "slim" model, that picture makes it look awfully big. But then again, size may not be what they're going for. The flash ad did say it has built-in Wifi, though.

There's Rock Band 3 but I have to admit that, learning to play a real instrument has never been one of my pursuit, which is what this new sequel is going after (that and there's the keyboard addition).

Never been too big on Rock Band (fun, but too expensive for my tastes). However, as I keyboard lover I'm going to definitely rethink about my stance.

Crossing my fingers for the announcement of ToV PS3 localization during the Namco Presser. =P

When is Namco showing off their stuff, anyway? Would Graces and Vesperia be playable at the Nintendo and Sony conferences, respectively, or will those areas be reserved for first- and second-party offerings?

Hmm....well, I know this is a long shot but I'm hoping for a Soulcalibur 5(Tekken 7 as well). Gimme .hack//LINK while you're at it as well.

Or Bloody Roar 5.

If anything, Sony would announce you could buy PS2 games on PSN then let people play their old ones on the PS3.

I see this happening instead of backwards comparability added : /

Cless predicts

Microsoft conference: 2/3s about Kinect and its (groan-inducing) software. Oh, and Fable III. The rest will be a long montage of upcoming flavor-of-the-month FPS, TPS, sandbox, and racing games. Hopefully Left 4 Dead 3 will be revealed as some kind of surprise at the end. Another Internet meltdown would be glorious.

I expect Sony's to not be much better. I couldn't care less about *****ing Killzone, Motorstorm, Gran Turismo, and whatever other crap that's designed in response to what's popular on the 360. The only thing that could possibly interest me above Move is its Resident Evil 5 implementation. Team ICO stuff might be interesting, and I wouldn't mind if they did a God of War-style collection for ICO and SotC in preparation for The Last Guardian.

At Nintendo's, I'm sure Zelda and longer Metroid Other M presentations will be interesting. They might even try to give Dragon Quest IX a decent presentation. Hopefully we'll get a first look at an English version of Xenoblade (which seems to be all kinds of awesome). I guess there's also the 3DS' unveiling to look forward to.

Overall, I'm not expecting much in the way of real surprises at all. None of the leaks have been all that great. Even Atlus' lineup looks disappointing (Trine 2? Yes please! But Etrian Odyssey III was already announced, and Knights in the Nightmare PSP was not unexpected...now, where are Luminous Arc 3 and Class of Heroes 2?)...honestly, I expected a lot more after Demon's Souls being a tremendous success for them.

What could turn this E3 around for me are localization announcements of Tales of Graces, Tales of Vesperia PS3, or 7th Dragon.

[Dimentionalist]

The Kinectimals presentation was beyond frightening.

[Cless]

This entire conference is worse than I imagined.

[Dimentionalist]

This entire conference is worse than I imagined.

I bet it wasn't as disappointing for the audience.

[Empty_sky]

...what's kinect?

[Cless]

At any rate, I didn't see a single game I intend to buy. So sick of the endless streams of sequels of games in genres I don't care about in this generation.

[DuskShark]

...what's kinect?

Kinect is Natal's new name.

Anyway, was that all that was shown in E3 so far? Wait! I'd like an Uncharted game, too!

[BassForever]

Microsoft easily had the worst press conference I've seen since Sony 06 and Nintendo 08. That being said there are some titles I do want like Halo Reach, Gears 3, and Metal Gear Rising.

Kinect looks like fun but not worth the rumored $150 price point and none of the soft ware is that "MUST HAVE/PLAY' for me to invest the kind of money they're asking.

[LJkAze]

Seriously WTF; they didn't even show this shit at E3? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFgMrgjVwko&feature=player_embedded; also I'm piss of all the press get the 360 slim for free at the end. Seriously I think Nintendo is going to be the winner this year; Sony probably going to be as boring as MS or probably slightly better; I could be wrong. Anyways Metal Gear Rising, Gears 3, and my favorite today the revival of Rayman ^_^
