The Electronic Entertainment Expo Conference Program came into clearer focus this week after the last of three big titles was added to the sneak peeks session, one of 34 presentations and panels in a program that takes place along side the action of the main show floor.
Most notable for game enthusiasts was the addition of Red Steel (Ubisoft's upcoming Nintendo Revolution exclusive) to a session that already had Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gears of War listed.
Showing each of the games are their respective creative leads: Hideo Kojima (shown above, center) will present Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PlayStation 3, Cliff Bleszinski (left) will present Gears of War on the Xbox 360, and Ubisoft Paris boss Xavier Poix (right) will show off Red Steel.
Other panels in the 34-session program include the participation of a number of top designers: Richard Garriott joins a session on massively cross-platform gaming; Ed Boon of Mortal Kombat fame joins a session on building franchisable properties; and the designer behind Killer 7--one the year's most sinister titles--Gouichi Suda (Suda 51), will sit on a David Perry-moderated session that will look at game design of the future. Joining Suda and Perry on that panel are The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's lead designer Todd Howard, id Software design lead Tim Willits (Doom 3), and Irrational Games president and cofounder Ken Levine (Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich).
Another noteworthy session is one that will look at the importance of story and character development. Included in that panel are David Cage of Quantic Dream (Indigo Prophecy); Richard Dansky, Red Storm Entertainment 's lead Clancy writer; David Jaffe off the God of War team; longtime Half-Life and Half-Life 2 writer Marc Laidlaw; and EALA boss Neil Young. They share the speaker's table as Mad Doc Software (Empire Earth II) founder Ian Lane Davis leads the discussion.
The current lineup of speakers and sessions can be found on the E3 Web site.
mgs 4 is going 2 be sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best game coming out on ps3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhoooooooo I am waitin' for splinter cell double agent to show up ,,,,,,it'll be great ...i think ubi has something to say to metal gear fans .....freakin' yeah ???
These games are probably going to one of the killer apps on each of the systems.
Nice someday i will go to one event of E3
RED STEEL looks awesome! The REV will ROCK!!!
COOL!!!
@abelmeastro... Something tells me you've never heard of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which spends billions to vaccinate Africa against disease.
The top guys in gaming right now, should make for another great E3 that I can't go to.
I don't deny some of the charities and donations are just a "front" for as a tax write off for them. Also I don't deny some donations are misappropiated and fraudulent and the true beneficaries never receive items claim to be given. But I am happy and thankful that there some who do and just happen to know first hand that MS does some real good for people. With that said I'm not naive either and MS isn't "innocent" in ALL things either or nor any other company for that matter. I just choose to dwell on the good and positive things since there very few positive people or things in this world we live in. Sorry for the tangent..let's talk GAMES!
This Red Steel game looks pretty awesome. I just got my Game Informer and it looks like the Revolution might be something to look for.
they changed it to ps3 now.. lol
GOW and Red steel ar lookin grate and MGS4 may be ok. we need mor info.
Cool, All are goiong to have NICe demos!!!! Cant wait for this years E3:P
this session is gonna rock, all these games look great.
E3 cool, can't wait :D
It has to be a typo the games graphics are way to nice. Playstation 3 Rules
Oh,now I understand soulknight,its all becouse your cousin is going to work for MS,well dude congratulations if he makes it(I hope you didn`t invented that) .Come on,we all know that those things are just a mantle to cover themselves,its like when an organization says that they are getting money for the poor kids in Africa and the truth is that they are getting it for their pockets,let`s be realistic.
OMG this is going to be a big on, MGS4, RED steel and Gears of war all in the same show...I love you E3, this is the Hype people Love it
Just to clarify, GOW is not an FPS. If you've seen the demos you know it has a third person perspective. Anyways, all three titles look extremely interesting and I look forward to seeing and hearing about actual gameplay for each of them. Next gen is here and it is an exciting time to be a gamer!
MS does so much for the US are you stupid......They donate so much money to City Libaries etc
IMO the ps3 is gonna fail as a console and put itself in last place for console sales
Man MGS4 will be the icing on the cake at E3 a sweet PS3 demo (i hope) but if not a trailer will be great to but whatever thay said demo so its gotta be a demo its gona be so cool i wish i had plane tickets to L.A but whatever MGS4 WILL DOMINATE!!!!!. Gamespot better have coverrage of the demo being played or else im gonna go on a gamespot kiling spree...................jkn
A_TODO_MADRE- Apparently it's beyond your limited mental capacity to understand why people like a particular genre over another, so why try? Just be happy you like what your particular taste is and don't be so judgemental of someone liking something different than you.
And if you doubt me you can do a google search on MS scholarships or foundations and charities. There are all kinds of info about MS contributions.
Yeah, I'm sure, MS couple of years ago sent my cousin to college on a 4 year scholarship and when she graduates she'll be working for them making about 65k a year. So -abelmaestro- I'm 100% positive that MS does some good things for us in the U.S.
wow.
Come on E3!! BE HERE SOONER!! *drools*
soulknight 63133,are you sure that you are supporting America by buying an xbox360?no, I don`t think so,I think you are giving money to the richiest man on the world,did you knowed that he could give 1 dollar to each person on the world and he would still have money?yeah you are making a great favour to America......>.>
Kojima will wipe his butt with both of them

the nerds should be excited by MGS4
Gears of war will kick MGS4 ass and Red steel will be a cool thing to watch out for
legendaryscmt never take my avatar
Da SnOwMaN With gamings most anticipated game designers at E3 this year, it should be a must see!!
"GoW is just another generic FPS crap that we've seen hundreds of times before. I can't imagine someone getting excited over that game when MGS4 and Red Steel are much better games." You've played these games?
MGS4 and Red Steel WILL DOMINATE E3
