i'm not
-
I just want to see the Rock Band 2 and XBLA announcements and I'm good. I have to work anyway so I can't get caught up in the spectacle.
-
not interested in videogaming really
-
I forgot E3 was even this week til someone at work reminded me.
-
E3 for gamers is dead. Now its E3tomaketalentlessmagwritersfeelimportant.
-
E3 > Your faith
Stick to worshipping ghosts
-
I want to see a trailer for Infamous. It'd be nice to get gameplay footage of OPF2. But that's about all I'm interested in, really. Are The Big
Three One and the Two HD Midgets even having showings this year?
-
What's E3?
-
you don't even play games. gtfo
-
not interested in videogaming really
this
-
Last year I would've said yes, but this year I'm really hyped. Xaggle, all the game rumors, etc. I'm looking forward to the MS conference tomorrow. E3 basically ends for me when that conference is over.
-
Last year ruined e3 for me. I'm growing more and more apathetic to gaming news in general though.
same here. the only things that peak my interest are Lich King and SC2. I'll troll Nintendo on tuesday morning but I'll still wind up watching their conference in anticipation of another rehash. But yea, I'm just not as excited about the shit anymore. A few years ago I lived and breathed E3. Hell, I spent an entire week pretending to be a Nintendo insider once. now it's like meh whatever

:drudge According to unnamed sources, Nintendo is making a game featuring mascots. Release date TBA. :drudge
More later after I finish reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
-
I usually don't get really interested in e3 until it's time for the new console announcements. That's the only time in which I anticipate the show. The e3's in between I only watch for new game information and videos, and the possibility of suprise announcements. Nothing truly exciting but there will at least be some eye candy.

i see aa isn't even trying to hold his sfaggotry back anymore. which is a good thing.
and no, i'm not really looking forward to e3 as i doubt that there will be many new game announcements.
-
developers?
-
I'm not exactly pumped either. E3 just isn't the same as it once was and the highlights of the show don't interest me. Maybe it'll change this year.
-
i dunno, i didn't like the past e3 but i remember some good things about it.
re5 and cod4 footage :drool
-
xaggle :lol
-
I don't give a fuck about E3 anymore. E3 was awesome once I was a partisan fanboy, instead of the indifferent cynic I am towards gaming today. Fanboy jizz will be sprayed everywhere, Sfags will declare that 2009 is the real Year of the PS3, Xfags will be damage controlling, and Nfags will be excited over some pointless non game.
So in other words, I expect it to be like E3 07.

lol, you believe in E3

Bah, this has nothing to do with "sfaggotry", and everything to do with that the whole concept of a wagglemote from Microsoft is as comically obnoxious as it is obnoxiously comical. Other than suspect hardware quality, it's not like Microsoft has a decent stable of developers that it can push to create content for the device, nor has the company really ever shown any sign of being particularly great at grasping simple original family fun. It'll be a fucking Rareaggle device, because that's all this company has. And as we all know, Rare sucks at making good games. Best case scenario, we'll get something that makes first person shooters somewhat more enjoyable, but then the right path to that would have been to just fucking include kb/m support as standard.

yeah

i have a collection of quotes from the usuals bashing waggle
just waiting to unleash

iirc you bashed waggle when it was first revealed kev
-
iirc you bashed waggle when it was first revealed kev
....i'm not going to be slobbering over xaggle when it's unveiled though. duh.
waggle still sucks and is garbage in 95% of applications.
edit: I should say I like IR tracking a lot.
-
Was your name Johnny Nightfraud?
Stalkerboy was riding his coattails... rather poorly, at that. Think Aries, if I have my facts straight.
-
I am very excited for E3. Even just the press conferences give you a good idea of the stance of a company. Activision hired Jamie Kennedy to douche up their showing, the entire year for them was them sucking (except for CoD4). MS showed an average trailer for the super-hyped up Halo 3 trailer and Halo 3 ended up being average. Then there are tons of announcements for new games to look forward to and not play for 3 years.
I also can't wait to see MS show their own shitty waggle controller so I can yell out "WAGGLE SUCKS IN 720p JUST LIKE IT SUCKS IN 480p! NERDS!".
-
I used to be so excited and into all the news and press conferences, but this year I really just don't care what's going on or even announced for the most part. Hell, I'm still catching up on three year old PS2 games that I haven't played, this gen is taking a backseat to older stuff.
-
Blame the Wii for that.

so you hated waggle when you saw it, and yet you went on to support the greatest enemy of gaming anyway?
i hope you burn in hell.
-
i didn't even know tomorrow's the first conference. i'm so out of the loop here.
i'm kinda looking forward to ms' conference (they'll show alan wake, right?).
sony's should deliver totally, though, i think (year of the ps3 :bow2).
-

Nintendo is the last friend gaming has among the hardware manufacturers. Truth.
Edit: Not saying they're a very good friend, either. But Sony and Microsoft will be solely to blame if your preferred brand of gaming goes down the tubes, not Nintendo.

If they show Alan Wake and announce that it is coming out in 2008, I will suck a dick. Seriously. I am making that vow now. A dick of some kind will be in my mouth if they show it and I will proceed to put effort into sucking it.
-
truth? haha. nintendo is no friend of mine or anyone else that takes gaming seriously.
true gamers must unite against the spreading darkness cloaked in white.
-
What's a "true gamer?" Who defines it? (Actually, who cares.)
But "true" gamers just need to get over it. And the truth of the matter is that there isn't much to get over so far, since the focus of developers doesn't seem to have shifted from PS3/360 too much at the moment.
-
A true gamer is someone who would rather play games than flail their arms while watching a movie. A true gamer isn't a man who sits around jerking off to numbers and poorly done graphs. A true gamer doesn't always spring for the LE version of game because that money could be used to buy another game instead of fagging over just one. A true gamer has an 8 inch cock like Johnny Gat.
-
Developers are never going to take the Wii seriously. Developers never took the Genesis seriously, despite a strong performance. Most third parties would release token effort and then their bigger and better stuff for the SNES. So developers can and have snubbed a successful console before. Doesn't mean that we won't see some serious Wii efforts (shovelware and PS2/GC ports do not count) but developers are going to be investing most of their creative capital on the PS3 and 360.

I don't know, fans of one system might tell you a true gamer prefers to make sandwiches while installing a game that is just a movie with the occasional interactive sequence.

It's this week is it?
I'm not interested in the conferences but I look forward to some new videos of games like Dead Space and RE5.
Xaggle is a fact of life. If we're playing RE5 and Gears 2 with it, then sweet.

omg this thread is the TRUF :bow
-
i'm not
so basically you asked "anyone else not interested in e3" and you said "i'm not"
so your basicaly saying you are NOT 'not interested', therefore, you ARE interested.
-
The only two games that would really make me gay with excitement if unveiled at E3 would be Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Skies of Arcadia 2 done with only the same people that made Skies of Arcadia 1.
-
I was thinking EB might be the most chill place for E3 news, since every other site has all the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows coming out of the woodwork around this time of year.
I like the influx of news from E3. but I'm not all "OMFG DUDE SONY TOTALLY PONED XBOX THIS TIME AND WIII WAS LIKE 1ST PLACE AND OFMG HEAVENLY SWORD THAT GAME IS TOTALLY GUNNA KICK ASS DOD YOU SEE THAT QTE HOLY FUCK HAHAHAHA MASSIVE DAMAGE RACER I HERD A SHOUT OUT FOR GOLDEN AXE HAHAHA IM THE FUNNIEST GUY IN THE CHAT ROOM H"

E3s that aren't revealing new console generations are more about console wars garbage than anything else. The press conferences are literally about marketing / positioning for the coming year, and you can get info / trailers / shots of upcoming games at any time, really (and released on the devs' schedule, not some arbitrary conference's schedule).

One guy doing a live blog actually typed up something like "GTA4 360 EXCLUSIVE! TAKE THAT, SONY!". You would think this was Kotaku, but it was actually one of those 'pro' gaming sites. I think Gamespy or something like that.

Don't be so sure that there won't be a new Nintendo piece of hardware there. A new handheld or DS redesign isn't out of the question.
-
I don't remember the last one where one was truly good for all three. 2005 was Sony lying about the PS3, Microsoft lying about the 360 and trying to hip, Nintendo fucking did some electroplankin shit and had Miyamoto hit on some woman with Nintendogs before ending by showing a small box and saying that it is the revolution. 2006 was terrible for Sony, great for Microsoft, great for Nintendo. 2007 was good for Sony, bad for Microsoft, bad for Nintendo.
-
lol @ people expecting e3 to be important anymore.
its just a wankfest for the press
-
I want great announcements all around. I just like to game. I have no seething nerd rage, though I like to troll every once in a while for fun. I am not projecting my anger at the world on to a competition between the console manufacturers. I have no allegiance to a corporation. I'm not poor. I can afford whatever console whenever. If there were enough announcements that interested me from any particular company, I would go buy their console if I didn't already own it. Though I'm jaded, there's a part of me that's really just yearning for anything that pleases me. Sure, that sounds like a tautology, but that's the extent of my relationship with gaming as a whole (then individual experiences might go deeper.) Same with any medium, really.
Is that a good enough hardcore manifesto?

Western developers you mean. Japanese developers have little choice but to support the Wii, and unlike in the US their shovelware bullshit actually sells in Japan.
Someone here mentioned many developers are just Michael Bay at heart and want to make blockbuster games. They can't do that on the Wii. Not one western developer has done anything of interest on the Wii or DS imo. They simply don't care. Remember all the rumors and wishes we heard shortly after the Wii's reveal? Change the face of FPS? Star Wars games? etc
Nintendo lost me after that E3. To this day the only games that interest me are Zelda (might as well get the superior GC version) and Mario Galaxy. What do Nintendo fans get now? Another 4 years of rehashes while Sony and MS introduce new franchises and fun shit.
-
No, I'm talking about Eastern developers as well. While PS3 and 360 get Resident Evil 5, the Wii gets Umbrella Chronicles, the latest of the several, disposable and will be ignored, shoot em up RE games. While Wii gets Dragon Quest Swords, the DS gets Dragon Quest IX. It will probably get X as well. Square hasn't done anything worth a damn on the Wii but they have several DS projects, a couple for PSP, and a couple major projects for PS3.
I have yet to see a Japanese developer really treat the Wii as a legitimate console outside of Nintendo and their subsidiaries. They almost see it like the western developers: just a dumping ground for ports and useless titles to get enough capital to invest in their desired PS3 and 360 projects.
This year could be different as the Wii now has established itself as the clear leader but if they are able to profit from the PS3 and 360, I don't expect any developers to have a Wii-centric strategy.
I do agree that Nintendo's load has been blown. Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Zelda, Metroid, etc. Every major franchise has been out and due to Nintendo's dumbass policy, outside of the last two, we only see one iteration per generation. Mario Galaxy 2 would go great for a 2010 release. All they have left is Mario Baseball 2. I suppose they will release the obligatory Mario Golf and Tennis games but Nintendo has reached the bottom of the barrel quickly.

no offense, pd, but I swear that everytime you talk about nintendo, the wii, or nintendo fanboys, you seem like an angry, intense, betrayed puppy. with deep, unresolved emotions
like crushed, except cynical and hateful.

NO. You've just grown up. It's not a bad thing, just a progression.
I'm not as excited for this E3 like years past. I've been fooled enough to realize that E3= Overhype then under deliver.

Nothing really cool is gonna happen anyway.

is there going to be an official E3 thread(s) or is news going to be in like 100 different threads?
I guess we're going for the latter?
I hope the news is in all different threads. Those big ass single threads are awful..
-
If something awesome comes out of E3, that will be great, but I'm not counting on it. The only thing I'm expecting to come out of E3 is more Rock Band 2 awesomeness.

I wish Sega would announce that they're canning Sonic Unleashed and releasing something like this instead:

You gotta be interested about Xaggle and the new Minority Report dashboard...
I'm not a fan of waggle like every other sane person, but I'm still really curious about how/if MS implements it. That's a "megaton" if there ever was one.
-
rerelease a slightly tarted up Halo *1* for X360 with online and Xaggle and then we'll talk.
That would just be giving developers the greenlight to port their old games and add waggle to them.
Who do you think MS is, Nintendo.

Uhh, so that's sort of like the by now ancient Eyetoy + XMB demonstration? I'm still annoyed that they haven't implemented that, would be a nice party trick. For the 360, that'd require one hell of a redesign from the current clunky, unresponsive and claustrophobic, but I guess anything is possible. You'd still have to deal with a distinguished mentally-challenged device as opposed to navigationg with hand gestures, but hey.

Nintendo: I'm curious to see what they've done with Kid Icarus, and I'm hoping to see some announcements of DS localizations (Glory of Heracles, Soma Bringer, Stafy), but I don't know if I can sit through all the sales-age wankery to get to that.
360: The waggle is just gonna be pointless and a last-ditch effort at raising interest in the platform, gonna be a total bust IMO. Except now we're gonna get ports of all these shitty Western made Wii games like Carnival Games and Beach Games or whatever the fuck, upscaled to 720p and with a few more shader effects. I just wanna see more from Mistwalker, that's all I care about from MS.
PS3: Probably gonna be a wasteland of interesting announcements. I expect to see a lot of boring shit on HOME. A release date for FF13 would be nice but, let's get real here.
-
360: Best console by far, will they finally convince me to make a purchase this year? Can't help but think they have some good surprises
PS3: lol
Wii: Just want to see if the 3rd party rumors are true. Is this the year they show us the fruits of labor? lol
