Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) '09

With E3 fast approaching, use this thread to discuss anything you wish about E3 here.

Obviously for big announcments (such as Gears of War going to PS3? Mario on Xbox etc, random ones I made up note, they are not confirmed) then seperate threads seem reasonable.

So, with Microsoft's press conference starting in just short of 3 hours, what will we be expecting? I heard on the grapevine that we may be seeing a Crysis 2 game on XBox 360/PS3/PC which sounds cool.

Wow, I didnt actually expect MGS to come to Xbox 360 and the motion control looked like it could work with say Sam and Max or an RTS game as it seems pretty acurate what your movements are.

Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Forza 3, basically all the rumoured stuff was true. Just needed something more at the end than the tamagotchi thing.

Yeah, I actually jumped when Kojima came on stage just behind the Xbox dude as I didnt see him until he was literally right behind him and then I was like "Oh NO you didnt!".

The new Halo (not ODST but the ohter Halo bungie game) looks good, I was impressed with everything bar Splinter Cell (could be awesome and equally could be terrible, depends how they work it) and Alan Wake (looks too horror stuff for me). I only would have liked the camera to show less gimicky games and also have some more games like Assassins Creed 2, Mass Effect 2 etc. When the Epic team came on I was like "woah! Gears 3 already!!!!" but it turned out they didnt, shame as that or a new IP would have been awesome.

It was a mediocer looking XBLA game in the mold of Bionic Commando -I would just say that but more zoomed in on the screen perhaps and glitches which allow you to spam kill the boss :P

I was happy with it, just they could have done with a few more games shown from third parties at the end and something major for Natal. The PS3 can easily win this still as everything shown at Microsoft was already rumoured or all but confirmed (like the Forza 3 menu screens we saw at Ultimate Racers Paradise a few weeks ago which were spot on by the look of it).

I just want Uncharted 2 on Xbox :cry:

I think we can all agree Sony has a lot of catching up to do. Even though a lot of the stuff was already leaked, it was still an amazing conference just in terms of punches they threw at Sony.

And I literally squealed when Kojima came on. I don't even care about Metal Gear, I just love seeing Microsoft tormenting Sony like this.

Project Natal looked interesting, but Microsoft seems to copy whatever Nintendo comes up with (Avatars rip off Miis, and Natal rips off Wii-mote and eyetoy) Although it looks promising to the family demographic, I'm not as excited when they announced that Microsoft is pushing this accessory to hardcore games. Does anybody really want to pretend to saw a Locust in half in Gears? Or pretend to be a Spartan-II in reach? Or pretend to drive in Burnout? No thanks.

This announcement among others doesn't compare to this one (to me): GOLDEN SUN DS!!! FINALLY EPIC PWNAGE ZOMGBBQ!11!1one!

I was really impressed with E3 a lot of good games were announced and I was surprised the most with Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M (Team Ninja is also working on this game)

I'm also looking forward to Final Fantasy 14 too.
