The Official 'E3 2009' Thread

I admit that the PS3 motion stuff sort of blew me out of the water. I love me my Wii and all, but I think it's on.

Damn that conference's pacing and presentation was poor, and Jack was shit. The games were fucking sweet though. Should of had crazy Kaz on stage than Jack.

All in all, I really enjoyed Microsoft's conference. Project Natal looks very interesting even though I'm not a huge fan of motion detection anyway, Alan Wake looks great, same for Halo: Reach and ODST. I'm really impressed with what they're integrating with the 360 as well and the step towards more community on XBL.

Nintendo, was okay but mainly boring. The Dead Space: Extraction trailer and the DS Chronicles trailer were good, and the other games like Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid. Other than that, boring gimmicky sports/motion detection stuff.

Sony, VERY boring imo. The mo-cap looks like it could be quite fun though, like the bow and arrow and shooting. I think that could be quite fun and the controls could make things like FPS more fun. The only games I enjoyed out of the whole bunch were GOW3 and Uncharted 2, and of course the announcement of RE: PSP; you know, despite the fact we didn't see anything.

So now that Sony's conference is over, is it confirmed that MGS Rising is exclusive for xbox360?

[Alexia_Ashford]

Yup, I think so. No mention of it at Sony's Conference. They had another MGS game though with Big Boss in, I think that's a PS3 exclusive.

It's for the PSP Go, not PS3.

Yeah, I was surprised it wasn't mentioned or even thrown in at the end of the Peace Walker (is it called that?) talk.

[Jill's Boob]

Was there a mention of Dead Rising 2's release date? Or is it still a TBA 20XX?

[Carnivol]

I'm somewhat amazed by how few games were shown.

Oh well, here's to hoping smaller companies + the show floors hold a lot of surprises for us these next few days.

Alternate controllers and new input methods are always welcome. It's what I truly feel separates a so called "gamer" from the so called "casuals".

While the casual will embrace an appreciate only a limited amount of input devices, the gamer will face the challenge of whatever is thrown at him/her. Peripherals and controllers are awesome.

Hope the vital monitor thingy from Nintendo will produce some awesome games too (someone kindly suggested something like Eternal Darkness using it) So far, the only game I can think of that has used a heartrate scan like that was bio-Tetris on the n64, which would adjust speed/difficulty based on your heartrate.

The only thing that's interested me so far is Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition and the new Monkey Island game.

PSP saved sony's conference lol, otherwise they didn't show anything that wasn't already expected. FF14 was a surprise, but it's online, lol.

New Rockstar IP and that cart game. If anything the PSP Go's price was the show's biggest turnoff considering that a 3000 with a 16GB stick costs about $190 or so.

You're using an awful lot of lol's... you're okay?

Overall, this has been one of the worst E3's in recent history. Everything was so boring and focused on showing off motion gimmicks with the expected sequels of existing IP's.

You're using an awful lot of lol's... you're okay?

it's just two lol's

i'm lolling because im having discussions about FF14 online on multiple forums at once, I was pretty shocked when Tretton announced it, but the moment they started showing the FFXI species, i realized what it was and that saddened me

Coming from you, that does not suprise me to say the least :p.
*But on another note, yeah that game is awesome*

[Beanovsky Durst]

Better E3 than last year's, here's what got my attention:

- LEFT 4 DEAD 2... ZOMBIES AND CHAINSAWS!
- Metal Gear Solid games: Rising & Peacewalker
- Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles & Portable
- Metroid: Other M
- Dead Space Extraction
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Alan Wake
- Modern Warfare 2
- MAG
- Uncharted 2
- The downfall of Wii (With Microsoft's Natal and Sony's Dildo-mote, Nintendo's bringing what? A vitality sensor? WTF!).
