Post by: Shaka Khan on May 19, 2012, 07:12:29 PM: I had no idea that close. If neither MS or Sony announce new console plans, Nintendo better have a good showing. Otherwise it'll be a snoozefest.

Post by: magus on May 19, 2012, 07:18:33 PM: there is apparently another konami conference at the end of may,well before the 3 big conference's
let's just hope it's not another pre-recorded shit about cross platform saves

bet they are going to talk about the ZOE hd port and maybe metal gear rising even if they gave it out to platinum
but anyway what do you guys expect? final fantasy xv reveleaton as an fps? it's going to happen isn't it?
Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: EmCeeGrammar on May 19, 2012, 07:20:46 PM: Kid Icarus has been out a few months, so they should have a smash trailer up. 3ds will be mario, mario activity(ies), animal crossing, and uhh black and white 2 mention. Maybe announcing Fire Emblem localization. New Super Mario Bros Mii and Pikmin 3 seem like good candidates for the Wii U. Devs coming out to talk about the WiiU ports and how "awesomer" they will be. Hmmm, announcement of Retro's next project is likely, but I don't expect it to release soon.

I hope there's a segment about their online space the most.

Oh, the 8-4 guys said something is getting announced this Monday, something they've been working on eagerly. I have my suspicions.
Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: Takao on May 19, 2012, 07:21:36 PM: the reason versus isn't at e3 is because it has been renamed final fantasy xv and will be on ps3, vita, wiiu, 360, microwave, pc

Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on May 19, 2012, 08:35:35 PM: While I'm sure there will be an E3 prediction thread, here are my guesses:

- The first round of Wii U software will be comparable with 2008 360/PS3 releases. Nintards rejoice, the rest of the gaming world laughs.

- Nintards are baffled at industry insidahs like IdeaMan and ShockingAlberto because their predictions were so far off. Some Nintards will make shit up to make it seem like these ninnies were right all along. Other Nintards will want justice and the remainder will concoct new defense mechanisms to make these games seem comparable to the Xbox 3/PlayStation 4 games that will be shown.

- The Vita won't have shit. The Vitatards out there will start screaming for a price drop + memory card but the rest of the gaming world knows the truth that the Vita is dead. Future Vita releases will start to be canned, moved to the 3DS, or postponed indefinitely and so begins the Vita death march, fading away into obscurity and then cancelled when the PS4 launches.

- The PS4 will be announced, complete will the standard Sony fare of bullshots. Sfags awaken from their three year slumber and start making those painfully obnoxious .gifs that they were wont to do from 2005-2009. While Sony will aim for a more affordable console vs. the PS3, they will still overpromise and underdeliver, as per their policy since the PS1 launched in 1994.

- Xbox 3 will be announced. It will be packed to the brim with social features, Kinect, and other crapola that I hate in mah vidyagames. It will have a lot of Windows 8 connectivity, with phones, tablets, and PCs. Microsoft is really making this push for cross connectivity recently so it seems foolish that the Xbox 3 will be exempt. On the contrary, it will be their centerpiece. The overarching goal is to get people to constantly play games on Microsoft products at all times (play Xbox 3 at home, play XBLA games on your phone/tablet outside of home, etc.)

- Nickel and diming schemes out the fucking ass, making horse armor a beloved memory by comparison.

Post by: Tasty on May 19, 2012, 08:40:41 PM: - Vita will go UP in price. Sony will try to wring as many pennies out of it as possible before axing it.

Did he leak something noteworthy?

He's said before the controller's changed, IIRC it was when Rayman Legends leaked and the vid used the E3/CES design. I believe he's also hinted it has NFC, and he said something really vague that I think confirmed USB 3.0 support. And some other stuff I don't remember since I don't follow the Wii U speculation carnivals.

I think lherre and Ideaman are as legit as Shiggy. As for Ideaman himself, he says he's a French gaming journalist which makes his story plausible considering the considerable leaks that came out of France/Ubi last year (hell Project Cafe itself was broke by French site 01net, as well as the Circle Pad Pro.)

Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: cool breeze on May 19, 2012, 11:57:31 PM: Nintendo '08 is the single worst / most entertaining of the main three.

But Sony '06 is overall the best because of Sony '05. The expectations Sony set in 2005 and the reality in 2006 made the entire fall that much better.

FUTURE TECH. 4D. Check these real time* trailers! Three ethernet ports!

Post by: Great Rumbler on May 20, 2012, 01:37:42 AM: E3 2008 was when I lost my Nintendo faith. It was like staying up late on Christmas to see Santa and then finding out that Santa is really your dad and he's kissing a hooker underneath the mistletoe, and then when she leaves she runs over your favorite dog.
Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: Tasty on May 20, 2012, 01:41:43 AM: E3 08 was the turning point unfortunately. 2009 was actually quite good, and 2010 was awesome, but for most everybody, 2008 broke the camel's back. It doesn't help 2007 was really weak too. Two in a row was too much.

Oh god. Yeah the GameCube / GBA connectivity went over like a wet fart. Doing similar things today wouldn't be as bad since it'd be all wireless. No one wanted to have a bunch of cords and shit tho

isn't connectivity like that the whole gimmick of weeeeeeo? :teehee
Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: EmCeeGrammar on May 20, 2012, 03:15:33 PM: Connectivity was them trying to leverage the very popular gameboy brand to bolster the fledgling gamecube at the time. I think the coolest use of it was tingle tuner, but yeah, the wii u can handle most of the practical applications that could ever occur from revisting the concept.
Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on May 20, 2012, 03:28:43 PM: I remember Nintendo saying that online gaming is a fad and that GBA connectivity is the future and all of the LOLs that were pealed on the internets from that statement. Little did people realize that that statement would be one of the more sane things Nintendo has said or done since 2003. I blame Reggie.
Title: Re: two weeks from e3 :hype
Post by: EmCeeGrammar on May 20, 2012, 03:39:04 PM: The actual quote was something like 'customers don't care about online gaming'. I think that was the Nintendo attitude you see to this day where they don't like to implement tech in their console unless their is a substantial portion of potential customers who can utilize it. I think with the gamecube it was broadband not being as ubiquitous as it is today, with the wii it was low(er) hd tv adoption rates.

edit: Although that doesn't excuse how they treated surround sound implementations.

Diablo 3 on the go: iPad + VPN

VPN on iPad is a largely miserable experience for anything other than basic GUI operations, good luck gaming on it. Maybe OnLive will support it properly but otherwise, I'll be sticking to PC.

Also, they have these things called notebooks

I'm running it on OSX, late 2010 15" MBP - high specs, I've dropped it a few times in certain areas. They made the shittastic 330m with 256mb vram the recommended spec for D3 on OSX. I don't know how it works on Win 7 but having the full screen+windowed functionality works real good on OSX, command+tab to itunes/chrome then back to game without a hitch all the time with no pesky borders.

Reggie has dementia.

Reggie is right. Only the real fans would gobble up whatever diarrhea that comes out of his (and by extension Nintendo's) mouth. By having them rally up a marketing campaign for one of the best, and only, Wii titles worth owning, they are hearing you. It only took them like 6 years to actually release the game, but they listened!

When you need your fans actively screaming at the top of their lungs at you to release decent software and the only actual reason you're even doing so is because your next console isn't quite as ready for prime time as you thought it was, you are a bad company. :punch

I'd be interested to hear more on this. Perhaps Reggie came to town at the right moment and the Wii/DS success in the US isn't a product of him, but there's no question he has revamped Nintendo's US pr in an effective manner.

In terms of Nintendo's PR, one must admit they've turned things around with the Wii/DS quite effectively - or at least did during the roll out of those systems/first years after release. Since then yea, lolol.

I think it was Mino Arakawa, and he definitely wasn't the public speaker Reggie is.

Look, Reggie puts on a good show, and there's no question the years he's been the prez have been very good years for Nintendo of America, but they've also been very good years for NoE and NCL. If you really want to tease out Reggie's contributions, you have to look at how NoA differed from the other two major Nintendo branches. Which is to say, Reggie's main contributions have been to block mid-to-low tier software from releasing in America and being a more competent PR guy than the competition's guys. And I would say that's where Reggie starts and ends. The Wii and the DS were successes with or without the guy.

I'm not sure the Wii or DS would have gotten on the Today Show and Oprah without Reggie's specific focus on that US demographic; women had dabbled in gaming in Japan before the Wii/DS, but Nintendo managed to get women in the US to buy into that shit perfectly. The system may have been shitty but the Wii's roll out strategy/PR was perfect.
