For those of you who dont know, E3 2007 is this week. Closed to the public this year, there's little info out at the moment. No surprise as developers dont have to have booths out to show all the press. Tonight, July 10, Microsoft will be having its annual E3 press conference. Tomorrow, July 11, Sony and Nintendo will have theirs. For details and live feeds of the conferences, visit http://e3.gamespot.com/live.html or navigate from the base gamespot.com domain.

I would have been there this year had they not locked it up to the devs only. I hope to see some pretty Halo 3 video along with some word on new Wii titles. I dont expect anything out of Sony. They seem to have put all their cards on the table already. Honestly, I dont expect anything other than them saying how awesome the PS3 is doing

I'm watching the Microsoft Press Conference tonight. I have a feeling it's going to be both boring and exciting. I just wish I could record it to the computer for all you guys.

though, if I see something cool, I'll take a pic with my cell phone and upload it quickly for you all.

I'm watching the pre-show coverage on tech tv right now. I'm actually content with it this year. It's nice coverage instead of the forceful debate and baseless yelling from last year.

Yea, I came in on that game where the guy was shooting from the ground...

GUITAR HERO 3!!!! HELL YEA!!!

I don't really want them to show some Halo 3 Campaign footage, it would kind of ruin the surprise of the story line. I can't wait to see Halo Wars in-game seeing as it's been announced for about a year now (or half a year). I hoping to see good DS titles announced and sequels to some good games.

I had G4 a few months ago, but I think that my parents got rid of it... looks like I'll have to wait until tommorow to see what there is.

Erm, because of huge crowds making it unrealistic. I mean, why should you have to wait hours just to get to a TV set or a controller?

The stream from Gamespot is Live now. Looks like it is currently showing the projection screen at the back of the stage right now. TechTV/G4 is supposed to have live coverage, but I wouldn't put it past them to put commercials in the middle, so I'm watching the internet feed and having the TV up as a backup.

edit: the video feed on G4 is a good minute ahead of the internet stream

Yea, I love rock band, but I didn't like that song... I play bass and sing vocals (in a real band), so this game is totally hyping me up. Same with Guitar Hero 3. I saw some of the songs on there and they looked like they have a great line up.

It's purely a money grab. Microsoft figured that people would shell out tons of money for the new operating system just so they could play the game. I don't know if they were right on that gamble. It seems to have mixed results so far.

that trailer was sick tho, so was the arms race one.

The Arms Race was too reminiscent of Starship Troopers in my opinion. The best part was in the beginning with the UNSC vessels hovering over the harbor.

the microsoft show made me decide that I am SOOOO getting myself a 360 now. Console wars my ass.

then i looked at some of the games for ps3. :cry:
Gran Turismo 5 is fucking PHOTOREALISTIC, and LittleBigWorld seems mind-blowingly awesome. Lair's scale is also really damn impressive.

In the end, I think Halo 3's still gonna make all the difference, and i'll get a 360 before the 25th. :p

Flashy console and insane graphics on a game that has everything plotted out for you and you can't do things the game didn't anticipate. Not something to really be impressed about. The only good games for the PS3 are, in my opinion, Unreal Championship 3 (which has just gone PS3 exclusive) and Killzone 2.

Stormwing
July 12th, 2007, 03:34 PM
Well, sorry, but i've been a fan of the GT series all the way through. Sure, it's linear, but I like it that way. It's just a sim, not NFS: Underground 3.

That said, I love free and open ended games like Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed, and creative ones like LittleBigPlanet. :p
But i'm not interested in Killzone 2 whatsoever.

jngrow
July 12th, 2007, 04:24 PM
well, unreal champ 3 might be exclusive for ps3, but who cares if ut2k7 is for 360 (as far as i know). In terms of scale, just play halo 3 XD. GT has always had amazing gfx, because it has so little going on on screen. but yeah, nintendo is pretty much just carried by its fanboys. By the end of next year, it will only have 5 GOOD games.

Unreal Tournament 2007 = Unreal Tournament 3.

Also, Killzone 2 IS GODLY. If that's out buy next year, and I mean this, I'd be willing to save up for a PS3. That's how Godly.

I just wish they would fix the damn sound in the trailer.
