prE³ thread
 

E³ is only about 2 weeks away. Slowly more news is coming in to prepare us for what looks like will be a much better show than last year.

First up is Nintendo with news and movies on their Wii Sports Resort.
http://www.cubed3.com/news/12320
They revealed 2 more sports: table tennis and golf. You can see the gameplay in the link. Somebody said they confirmed 10 sports, so I hope they include more original Wii Sports.

Anticipation is also building. I'm quite sure that we'll see Zelda in motion. Would it be too much to hope for a holiday 2009 release? [I'll answer that: yes, don't expect it before spring 2010.]

What E³ games are you looking forward to?

Re: prE³ thread
 

I'm looking forward to the secret Wii game announcement that retailers were supposedly told to make room on the shelves for the holiday season. But I fear that that announcement was actually Red Steel 2, which looks awesome to me, but means that there's no big surprise.

Really, E3 has always been about surprises to me. Bring on the games we don't know about.

Re: prE³ thread
 

HL2: Ep 3.

Re: prE³ thread
 

My main interest for this E3 as well.

Re: prE³ thread
 

Mass Effect 2, Modern Warfare 2, and Saboteur for the most part.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I havent been paying attention to anything lately.
Plus E3 is usually a massive letdown, I just stopped paying attention.
No game has really got my attention lately, or even anything I've heard.
But I'd be stoked if there was something revolutionary released.
I'd be happy to see Nintendo take more control of the Wii, and take games in an arcade style - which is what it's best suited for.

Re: prE³ thread
 

What do you guys think of the rumors that both Microsoft and Sony will have motion control technology?

I think it's a stupid idea, the only thing they can do is practice a bit before the next generation. But I think the rumors could be true.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I think it is true.
Motion control technology has been around for a really long time.
The Wiimote and the Sixaxis, is already technically motion control.

Even if they try do something massive and fail, everything has to start somewhere.

Re: prE³ thread
 

E3 is always a major letdown now that it's reformed. Would really like to see some official stuff from Team ICO's next game.

Re: prE³ thread
 

You did see the new trailer of their game 'Project TRICO', right?

Re: prE³ thread
 

I don't have any new systems but apparently G4 TV is going to have a lot of coverage so I may just watch some for the heck of it.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I don't like this constant e3 changing, last year it was in July now its in June... I don't know what to think.

And word is some people may not be there due to economy or swine flu fears (true story)

Re: prE³ thread
 

Some stuff to look forward to next week on GT-TV

Re: prE³ thread
 

Excellent.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I want to see Starcraft 2, Zelda Wii and some other new Nintendo games. Is that too much to ask for? :(

Re: prE³ thread
 

I would like to see some stuff for Diablo III please.

All games officially take a backseat to Diablo.

:D

Re: prE³ thread
 

Kojima Production "Next"

This instantly became my biggest E3 announcement...

Re: prE³ thread
 

1 minute of flash loading for an animated lightning storm?

Re: prE³ thread
 

Look closely and watch it for awhile...it will flash "E" then "3" then "5"

It almost HAS to be Metal Gear Solid 5.

Re: prE³ thread
 

It also flashes a 9? Did I see that right? Well either way, should be very promising.

Re: prE³ thread
 

Didn't he promise he'd never make another MGS?

Re: prE³ thread
 

I dont think it flashes 9, im pretty sure the only things it flashes are E 3 5. Only 28 hous left though, so apparently whatever this is will be revealed before E3?

Re: prE³ thread
 

He did yes but it would be stupid not to. I think he was lying. Remember we saw Snake in Smash Bros. Could this be the long awaited and rumoured MGS for a Nintendo console? :unsure: I doubt it but imagine if it was.

I would like to see Rareware step up to the plate aswell, and I mean really step up. I would love to see a Jet Force Gemini 2. You can download the mp3's of the origional game off their website again now. They were not on there for a long time but now they are back so Rare must have got any licensing or copyright issues sorted out with Nintendo.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I could be mistaken but I swore Kojima promised not to make another Metal Gear after 2,3 and 4... so who knows.

And you could always play Twin Snakes on your Cube/Wii. But does look like hinting towards MGS 5.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I predict it will be available on the 360.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I really dont see Konami slapping PS3 owners in the face that hard. I mean, If it is on 360 I dont think it will be a 360 exclusive.

Wait a second...I take that back darkmaster I did see a 9 flash...now im really confused.

Re: prE³ thread
 

I was going to say the 9th game in the series, but that would involve some funny math.

59... hmmm...

Re: prE³ thread

Top 8 or Biggest 8 rumours running about e3 next week.

Re: prE³ thread
 

Well Konami updated their "next" page, take a look for yourself...

http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next/index.html

The countdown timer is now at 116 hours, and it flashes some different things, the most noticeable being a picture of a younger looking big boss...

It almost just leaves more questions than answers, but my guess right now is Metal Gear Solid 5 will be some sort of prequal?

Re: prE³ thread
 

Re: prE³ thread
 

Not sure how big you are into the MGS series, but do you have any ideas BAB?

I heard this from another forum, but apparently the countdown timer leads to the Microsoft press conference...

Re: prE³ thread
 

Well according to early word, its a new Metal Gear starring Big Boss and Raiden.

Re: prE³ thread
 

Yea I guess that makes sense after what happened with Raiden at the end of MGS4, but based on the image of a young looking Big Boss, I would have to assume the game would take place well before MGS4, most likely even before MGS1.

A part of me wishes to play as Solid Snake one last time though, I wasn't happy with the way MGS4 ended. (I believe Snake should have died)

Re: prE³ thread
 

From Famistu

Re: prE³ thread
 

It's also flashing an R now, if I'm correct.

Re: prE³ thread
 

Looks badass.

Re: prE³ thread
 

And Microsoft has secured the final franchise. Quite impressive.

Re: prE³ thread
 

What better conformation we are gonna see this game than Famitsu Magazine?

Bond, how'd you know its 360 exclusive? When did Microsoft secure the franchise deal?



EDIT: I really want Jet Force Gemini 2 *crosses fingers*

Re: prE³ thread
 

Just a hunch. It's the last one left. GTA --> FF --> MGS

Re: prE³ thread
 

It won't be 360 exclusive, but it could very well appear on the 360.
