That's 6:25pm GMT. I'll be watching. I hope Mistwalker announce something, I'd love to see another big RPG from them with the problems from LO ironed out. :wtf:

[Xion]

Oh God yes. FFXIII is what I want but I would love to have another JRPG to look forward to now that Ive played all of them.

[dxgirly]

Ack. I was waiting for the the first link to start up, but the fanboys in the chat were pissing me off. >_>

Now trying gamespot

[Emo Panda]

[Sabin]

6 more mintues, gamespot is the way to go. never let me down with any problems.

[dxgirly]

I decided to just watch G4 since I'm in my living room with the TV on anyways. lol

[mercy0001]

Water, cookies, earphones,tissues,... I'm ready for E3. 3 minutes, and I can't find it anywhere one GT...

It hasn't started...

I've found this from a nice Belgian gaming site:

[dxgirly]

The Beatles rule what are you smoking?

Not so much the band is bad. I'm just sick as hell of music games

[mercy0001]

it's working on gamespot

[dxgirly]

Tony Hawk Ride looks like it might be fun to try. But the price tag they already revealed is going to hurt my wallet. :[

[Ram]

Final Fantasy XIII is coming!!!

[mercy0001]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[Munkya]

Fuck? english voices? Odin? Are my eyes and ears ok?

[Henry]

Odin summon:D:D

[Ram]

Ah, well this was shit. English + summon Odin. I was expecting a new area.

We'll see more tommorow I hope!

[mercy0001]

Did the battle system look completely different. Normal Arial font and Help line at the top?? I'm going to look for screens...

[Ascending Adonis]

OMFG ODIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want Kitase's babies.

I also really like the look of Epic's new game. Modern Warfare looks amazinf too.

& MS come off as smarmy fucks as always

[dxgirly]

The graphics on Splinter Cell look killer. He looks like an actual person.

Just watched:):)

[dxgirly]

Alan Wake looks like it will scare the shit out of me. I'm a chicken. o.o

[Kitmitsu]

KOOOJIMMMMAAAAAAAA >: (

[dxgirly]

LMFAOOOOOOOO. ahahahaha. I knew it would happen eventually

[ectorbrixx]

metal gear on xbox 360
how about the ps3? im shocked

[mercy0001]

WOW wii 2
xbox motion capture!

[Kitmitsu]

I love how they shat right on Tony Hawks Ride peripheral with this camera XD

[Heaven's Cloud]

Yeah jesus they just raped the skatebored

[Neal]

I wonder how much money they spent on lightning bolt action. :wtf:

That camera thing looks pretty lame. I can see that being unresponsive as fuck. Other than that, Splinter Cell looked awesome and Call of Duty looked pretty good too. Dissapointed in Alan Wake the rest was ghey. :wtf:

[Heaven's Cloud]

I saw a leaked vid of the eyetoy 360 on N4g from 18 months ago it seems too be perfect response

[dxgirly]

That motion/voice sensor thing looked crazy. It will be cool if it actually works well and doesn't cost $500

[chaosblade77]

Motion thing was pretty impressive, but I can't say I'm really interested in that.

Only thing that vaguely interested me was that 2D shooter that resembled (2D) Metroid and Castlevania. (and FFXIII but I figure that should be obvious).

[dxgirly]

I thought it was really good overall. Pretty exciting stuff. I hope Sony's and Nintendo's are just as good!

[Sabin]

They had some good things, but nothing that I'm very interested in. Alan Wake and Splinter Cell are games I'll look out for. I was hoping for Crackdown 2 and it was announced. I won't judge the camera yet. I'll wait and see how it turns out. My guess on the new MGS game is that it'll be an action game.

My thoughts on non gaming stuff:
Facebook and twitter wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. I wish that sky tv deal would work here in Sweden.

[Ascending Adonis]

That camera thing looks pretty lame. I can see that being unresponsive as fuck.

God I know...did you see the Kudo guy. His avatar looked like it had cerebral palsy.

The only thing that impressed me was how well integrated into the menu's. But that wouldn't be worth whatever the thing costs. Sure it'd be intuitive to use, but how much more intuitive can you be than a simple directional pad?

The Milo thing was impressive, but it still came off as more hot air from Molyneux. Even if they could utilize technology like that within a game proper, it still seems really gimmicky.

I'd treat Milo like shit every day as therapy.

[Hitoshura]

No Mass Effect 2? *sad face*

[Fenryr]

The camera looked amazing. Sure the avatar was shit, but when the girl was hitting balls jumping and moving fast, it responded perfectly to her movements. Can't see any complaints there.

The Halo games looked amazing as ever. So glad to see that they're making the fall of reach, as that is said to be one of the best plots and pieces to the halo universe.

Splinter Cell looked great, loved the covert stuff, and Alan Wake looked pretty neat as well.

Final Fantasy XIII looked fantastic as I thought it would, loved the english voices.

MGS announced for Xbox360 is a great step for the 360, and on top of that the deals with big entertainment names is another fantastic step. Really puts my Xbox360 as a more central piece in my entertainment system now.

Not sure what else, but the format of their conference was spot on. Short talking, a lot of footage. Short, sweet and to the point. Goodluck topping that guys.

I agree. I'm so glad they didn't pull sales charts on us.

[Fenryr]

I agree. I'm so glad they didn't pull sales charts on us.

The whole sales charts thing is so rediculously boring. I want a console to be fun, I don't care how much you want to rub your profits and popularity in other companies faces. I want the games, and nothing more.

[dxgirly]

No Mass Effect 2? *sad face*


Watch EA's conference thats starting right now

[chaosblade77]

Definitely. Most gamers don't care about sales figures and finances. Some companies *cough*Nintendo*cough* seem to forget that E3 isn't their quarterly shareholder meeting.

I fully expect Microsoft to have a more interesting show than Sony or Nintendo in terms of the format, but almost none of the games or features they showed appealed to me.

Stale franchises aren't interesting
So many action/shooter games these days
Camera control takes the things I don't particularly like about the Wii Remote and emphasizes them even more.
I use my consoles for playing games. I have a PC for all of these "non-game" features like Facebook and Twitter, which I don't even use anyway.

I'm hoping for the best for tomorrow, but chances are the style of games from Sony will be about the same. And assuming Nintendo does have something interesting to show, it will probably only get a minute of spotlight, maybe, and be overshadowed by uninteresting games like Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort. Not to mention the mandatory sales graphs.

I don't care whether MS has interesting presentation or not , because MS sucks..............i don't even want 360 , so of course and their games are not attractive to me at all. Sony is the best!

Now now lets not open that can of worms.

Ultimately they're both faceless corporations that just want to bilk us for whatever we're worth.

I mean, let's be adults about this.
