E3

[Fez]

Microsoft conference starts at 6pm. I have a dentist appointment then I'm coming back to enjoy the madness :).

Anybody watching?

[ecstasy]

EA's and Ubisoft's are today as well
EA - 10pm
Ubisoft - 1am D:

i'll probs watch them after its over and done with

[Simmzay]

Will be nice to see if there's any Fifa 11 info at the EA one.

[Chris]

The conference has been delayed until half six and the pre-show is on right now on gametrailers.

[dbgtz]

I can't wait for sonys, looking forward to resistance 3 and hopefully gt5 along with many others. Only thing I hope to see at M$ is black ops which is probs going to be there (unless mgs:rising is there too, or is it sonys?).

[Firehorse]

Dang the gamestop website has so much traffic its failing to load the webpage after refreshing

Watch here instead: http://uk.e3.ign.com/2010/live/index.html

[Chris]

Black ops looks amazing! Blowing stuff up!

[samsaBEAR]

everything has been so ******* amazing

[Firehorse]

everything has been so ******* amazing

Would look even better if the video didn't keep juttering and pausing

[Muct]

What? What channel is it on? Didn't know its on TV... TELL ME IF THEY ANNOUNCE A GTA V!!!

[Firehorse]

What? What channel is it on? Didn't know its on TV... TELL ME IF THEY ANNOUNCE A GTA V!!!

http://uk.e3.ign.com/2010/live/index.html :/ Read the thread next time

[Chris]

You can watch it everywhere. Gametrailers, xboxwebsite, gamespot. Lmao. Halo reach looks ok but after that mp beta no thanks.

[Muct]

I got on it just at the start of the Ha,lo trailer, the Kinect

EDITED For typo on Kinect :DDD

EDIT: The cameras crap.

---------- Post added 14-06-2010 at 06:24 PM ----------

Sorry but what the hell is that little girl doing to that tiger!?!
I'd laugh if a major glitch happened now.

[Nemo]

lol the girl acting like the tiger was licking her was possibly the nerdiest thing ive ever seen.

[samsaBEAR]

Would look even better if the video didn't keep juttering and pausing
I'd watching it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/e3 and it's fine. I loved the Kinectamals thing, that's pretty cute
Kinect sports just looks like Wii Sports, not sure about that

[Jibbish]

just my opinion but that sports one looked staged :/

[Nemo]

why does it suddenly remind me of wii. why do the graphics suddenly get **** the second they do something like this ? (motion control)

[samsaBEAR]

I like the way Kinect works with the xbox for controlling it, but idk about using it for games.
Edit: I like that Adventures game

[MrPinkPanther]

This is a real revolution. Customisable avatars in a casual sports game WITH motion control.

[Muct]

I like that raft thingy ma jig thing a jiggy thing.

[MrPinkPanther]

HEY REMEMBER THAT TIME WE RAFTED ON A CLOUD?

[Chris]

Lovin the kinect games. This will make a good xmas pressie me thinks. :D

[samsaBEAR]

The yoga thing is alright, but it's not stuff that hasn't been done on Wii Fit

[MrPinkPanther]

Most of the Kinect games so far have been Wii Clones, not impressed so far.

[Muct]

The Training thing seemed to be about 3 seconds out of time... Not impressed.

Excuse me but what the **** is he doing...
That is NOT dance.

[samsaBEAR]

I agree with the guy who said about graphics, they do like kinda ******. The dancing game is cool if you're into that sort of thing

[W00TZEH]

YES! DANCE CENTRAL.

ok seriously, this is the future. (kinect, not dance central)

[samsaBEAR]

I really hope Kinect isn't stupidly overpriced

[Nemo]

well its quite obvious the guy showing off dance central is white if u get me.

[W00TZEH]

ok this is gay

[samsaBEAR]

Yeah a lot of it has been kinda cringey haha#
Edit: here's the problem with Kinect, you can't move by yourself, gonna make for boring games. That Star Wars one looked crappy

[Muct]

Yep, Star Wars was absolutely bad graphics and crap.
Did you see the motion blue on the lightsaber however you spell it? :/
Looks more like a fluffing disco.

EDIT: Did he seriously just say "Amazing Graphics"?!?!?
EDIT: OKay, Car One is a fluffing superman in a console!! MUST-HAVE

[samsaBEAR]

Is this an advert for Forza, or Ferrari?

[Muct]

Yeah, I noticed how they didn't even show a car crash in the car, probably gonna be crappy car physics like GTA Vice City or something :/

Shame R* dropped out of E3, that was all I was looking forward to!

[kk.]

apparently the demo they released yesterday, the guy wasnt even doing it in time, the video was ahead of it!!

[Jibbish]

love how the camera kneed down before the actually guy kneed down -.-

[samsaBEAR]

Everytime this guy says Kinect, it sounds like he says Connect. Natal was the better name imo

[Chris]

**** new xbox out now!

[Jibbish]

built in wifi, such cutting edge technology ;)

[samsaBEAR]

It looks glorious, I'd hate to have bought an xbox in america this week

[Chris]

You see my avatar? Thats my face when he said it's out this week.

[W00TZEH]

i hate every single person in that crowd, I WANT ONE

sony and Nintendo will have to have something big to beat that, only Nintendo will be able to reckon with 3ds

[kk.]

It looks glorious, I'd hate to have bought an xbox in america this week

are you being serious? it looks absolutely hideous? whats with the angles..

[samsaBEAR]

Everyone in that crowd have probably been through a few RROD'd xboxs so they deserve a new one haha. It looks so nice, not sure why they put that weird angle in the middle of it, but whatever

[Muct]

Meh, well, exactly why people pick different gaming cases, just for the design I guess, otherwise every car would look the same and every PC Would look the same. :)

[Nemo]

when i first saw it, i thought itd been hit in the front wit some kind of hammer. But the ton of memory and built in wifi makes up for it ;p

Let's hope they bring down stand alone hard drive prices/the wi-fi dongle prices

[Fez]

Xbox 360 redesign is FANTASTIC.

They're chasing the Wii market way too hard, going to alienate a lot of people.

I was impressed by MGS Rising and Black Ops... but that's it really.

Was OKAY.

[Camy]

well, this is a first? just finished watching the microsoft thing, and i dont remember anyone ever releasing a new console within a week of it being released.
This is so easily getting bought, as soon as i find it in a shop.

the images above look nice, but the videos im seeing of it make it look horrible. The angle is probably the worst design i have seen

[Chris]

I am so tempted to trade in my xbox and then use that plus some other cash to buy the new one. Lmao. I wont though. :/

[Niall!]

Anyway want an xbox 360? Comes with two controllers and two games.

This event is ****, gaming is dead and will remain dead as long as it caters to casual players.

[kk.]

so how do people think xbox performed? I thought the best parts were, tbqh, rising and black ops, and funnily enough, these are also on ps3.. 'Kinect', however stupidly named, didnt impress toooo much. I can see the attraction, but it didnt show any use otehr than for a bit of fun having a party, and you defo need a big space to play it

[Oleh]

That was by far the worst E3 day for me ever. Black ops reveal was crap. kinetic reveal too long. cant remember other bits because they were crap

[Fez]

Sony are gonna have an easy time.

[Chris]

Oh i loved it. Got me hyped up for the rest of e3

[Camy]

i liked the gears 3 level, graphics were awesome, and the mutating lambent enemies looked pretty cool too. the cod one was nothing new really. the kinect things were mainly embarassing, although waving to sign in, and speaking to the xbox to make it do movie and music things looks quite cool.

[kk.]

Rising isn't on PS3. I think they focused a bit too much time on Kinect, and could've given more time to the main games. I liked all the main games apart from Forza because I'm not into racing. Fable 3 looks like more of the same which is awesome, but at the same time it kinda sucks that it doesn't look like much has changed.
Like I said above, I think Kinect is awesome for controlling the xbox and stuff, but for playing games it doesn't seem to be as great.

tedious and boring will be the words which come to mind. 'xbox, play.' 'xbox, pause.' youll soon get bored, just like evry other mobile phone which has voice recognition, and every computer which has voice recognition. in fact, anything which has voice recognition

yeah, i think that really sucks balls tbh. the u.s. get to have it a month before us, its crap, but i guess if gives them a bit of time to discover the next rrod, to put us off buying it.

[Chris]

that makes me want to punch a baby.

Bit extreme. It's unfair that europe should wait but then again it's only one month which isnt really a big deal.

[kk.]

im sure if they said two weeks, they wouldve made both sides of the pond happy tbh

[dbgtz]

Yeah rising was officially announce multiplat the other day (cos it was never actually said to be for ps3 and pc :P)

new xbox looks crap too, i dont think it will do much in terms of sales.

the link provided is from June 2nd, 2009.. im sure i knew it was coming to ps3 last year

[Jam]

New Xbox looks like a dinted Elite.

[dbgtz]

We all did it just wasn't official

Anyway rising looks good, it would be boring I think if you couldn't properly interact with what you cut.
Black ops looks really good imo, I wonder how it will compare to mw2 (in story, I loved mw2 story) but I hoped for a little more.

[Muct]

So... When did E3 end for today? :D
I think I may have missed about half of it when they started the RDR Advertisements... :l Even though R* wasn't involved in E3.
I think I watched on to the interactive car thing, with the ferrari.
tell me, did I miss anything? :S

[Chris]

Lol, it's only just beginning today. We have the ea and ubisoft conferences to come today too. Shame i wont be awake to see them all though.

[dbgtz]

Taken from my post on the technology discussion thread:
It won't boost sales if it's the exact same price? LOL. Oh no wait it has a built in wifi. Oh wait I could have had that and bluray and bluetooth on the ps3, for the same price (U.S.) and since september. It's a fail tactic by M$, the reason the slim sold so well is because of the price drop not because of the new design, the design was really to give the ability for a price drop and a proper redesign but the 360 has the same logo, the same branding. It's pretty much just a new SKU.

[ecstasy]

is it worth me watching?

I CANT SEE THE EMERGENCY EXITS PANIC

Oh thats good then. I suppose i could just watch all the trailer and gameplays from the conference on game trailers but with there being so many its difficult to find.

[Muct]

Is it just me or is it lagging to fluff atm? :/
(Youtube LIVE)

[ecstasy]

youtube is perfect for me
yawn racing games

[Muct]

So the camera isn't stopping at all? :/

---------- Post added 14-06-2010 at 09:14 PM ----------

Even lagging to fluff on IGN for me :/ Can't understand it, was fine without a problem before!

[ecstasy]

nope, no lag at all

[Muct]

Seriously like, it's pausing for about 30 secs every like 4 seconds for me, I've even tried IGN :/
Shouldnt have a problem, it was perfect on YouTube & IGN before :l

[Chris]

I'm watching on gametrailers and im fine. Anyway racing bores me but it's dead space 2 now so that should be ok.

[ecstasy]

i sucked so much at dead space

[Muct]

K, GameTrailers is fine now :)
EA better do some Simsss.

[Adamm]

I'm watching on gametrailers and im fine. Anyway racing bores me but it's dead space 2 now so that should be ok.
criterion games know how to do racing games, let's hope we get a half decent nfs this year. dead space is on mute, cba with that.

Did virgin get a place at e3? :S

[Adamm]

Did virgin get a place at e3? :S
I thought all gamers were virgins.

[Muct]

So sad R* aren't in E3, oh well, they had their own little conference.

[ecstasy]

i didnt know ea made moder- oh they've called it medal of honour
lets see...

[Muct]

MAJOR FAIL. Behind the big screen in the middle showing MOH, there was a disconnection or summet on the screen, one of them wasn't moving :)
Then the big screen popped up :(

[ecstasy]

June 21st Medal Of Honour Multiplayer Beta on PS3, 360 and PC

[Muct]

EXPANSION PACK!!!

Wait... VIETNAM!?!?!
Im not sure if I read that correctly... :S

[ecstasy]

its battlefield, it'll suck
strikeforce sucks whats he on about

[dbgtz]

What about expansion pack and vietnam?

[Muct]

Battlefield ^^^

[Chris]

Ok medal of honor multiplayer = Bad company 2 multiplayer.

And the bad company 2 dlc blatez got the idea from black ops vietnam thing.

[ecstasy]

the moh multiplayer did look a lot like bfbc2 multiplayer
oh look its wii fit with a different name

[Adamm]

probs cos it's made by the same people if u listen

[Chris]

Yes, thats the point.

They're just going to have bad company 2 multiplayer mark 2.

[ecstasy]

jus sayin

[Adamm]

yeah cos they're cash cows.

[Muct]

Im sorry but LOL
"What if Facebook didnt evolve? You wouldnt have anyone to milk your cows"

Argh, loads of boring stuff now. Rugby, how funnn.

Argh, loads of boring stuff now. Rugby, how funnn.
Are you an idiot? That is not rugby.

[Muct]

SIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[Chris]

Are you an idiot? That is not rugby.

I havent exactly been watching the whole thing, i have a quick glance to see if its something i like and from what i saw thats what it was. And theres no need to be so rude either.

Anyway, some info on the console version of sims 3 but it wont be as good as the computer version imo.

Also Respawn are there. Woo

[Muct]

Wont be as good? Consoles are the only ones recieving UFOs and Abductions until a later Exp. Pack for PC, they also get more furniture and hairstyles! O.o

[Chris]

But those sort of games dont really work on consoles. The sinms 2 on ps2 was awful.

[Muct]

True, but on Wii Sims 3 should be absolutely brilliant, imagine pratcising your snogging skills. <--- Well, maybe not that extreme...

But imagine it... O.o

[Chris]

I'll keep looking at it and see what i think when it comes out. Might get it, might not. Anyway, what time does the ea conference end?

[Muct]

No idea, but it's so boring :/

And whats up with it?
"You can unlock more ****, to get more ****, so you get more ****"

it really is a circle of awesome

[Chris]

Wow, bulletstorm looks quiet cool.

[Neil]

Ok medal of honor multiplayer = Bad company 2 multiplayer.

Yes.. Because Call of Duty created Vietnam..

[Muct]

Yes.. Because Call of Duty created Vietnam..

No they didn't you big silly billy!
Bob The Builder created Vietnam.

[Neil]

No they didn't you big silly billy!
Bob The Builder created Vietnam.

Oh of course, I knew he had to fit in somewhere.
Obviously everything else in Call of Duty games has never been done before and it's all unique to Call of Duty, everyone just steals from them.
Black Hawk Down was such a rip off of Call of Duty 4.

[Black_Apalachi]

You oughta check that out sometime...

I can almost guarantee a GT5 announcement will come. It's even on the ps3 website in the description. They write cough gran turismo cough

I've been thinking the same thing for a while, I can't see it being groundbreaking or anything.

RAYMAN HELL **** YES

[Black_Apalachi]

Isn't it supposed to be the most expensive game of all-time?

lots of cars
lots of tracks
precision and little details
1080p(?)

Hi hello, GT5 has been announced about 10 times, means nothing. You had to pay for a demo and that was no better than forza

[Chris]

Did anyone see the ubi conference? Anything interesting?

[Simmzay]

Not much of a MGS fan but Rising looks fun.

Hi hello, GT5 has been announced about 10 times, means nothing. You had to pay for a demo and that was no better than forza

Hi hello, so? It's not really what I said though. I was saying that there is meant to be an announcement, not that they haven't already. That 'demo' was about 2/3 years ago now... And forza wasn't that great..

[Black_Apalachi]

taking long because:
lots of cars
lots of tracks
precision and little details

yeah but forza has actually been released.

[kk.]

yeah but forza has actually been released.

Either release a game which isn't finished, or wait until it's perfect? Ye, i know which one I'd do

[samsaBEAR]

But it'll never be perfect, new cars/tracks/technology will push the game back and back untill it's on the next generation and then it'll be about getting used to the new console's power and ****.

no game is perfect. gt5 doesn't look any different from any other racing game, why has it taken so long?

[Firehorse]

no game is perfect. gt5 doesn't look any different from any other racing game, why has it taken so long?

To achieve absolute perfection and push the PS3's hardware further than it has ever been before.

[dbgtz]

GT5 does have vehicle damage (seen a trailer with like the cars door flying off) but they said it might only be some cars.

[Niall!]

RAYMAN HELL **** YES

I am disappointed no one else made a comment about a true Rayman game coming out.

[Fez]

I just heard about Rayman.

Yes.

[Niall!]

NINTENDO IN 16 MINUTES

Can't wait

[dbgtz]

Nothing much happening with nintendo really is there? Oh wait 3DS lol

[MrPinkPanther]

3DS + At least 1 killer launch title + Zelda. Nintendo theoretically should "win E3" but we all know how they have ballsed it up before.

[Chris]

Yep Nintendos starting in a minute. Not sure if I'm going to watch sony though as i dont have a ps3.

[Camy]

new zelda game. lol.

[Adamm]

why can't he open his eyes?

[dbgtz]

I don't know who will win. My guns on Sony tbh purely because of the games. And tbh if they announce a release for GT5 that's an insta win (lol). But yeah unless all they have is the games they have leaked already then they won't but I think they will have something killer

Nintendo I'm not sure, depends on how much depth they go into the 3ds which I hope will be alot.

M$ will lose, nothing really spectacular and not really any surprises.

Was that kojima tease announced yet? If it's not can't wait for sony!


Also where can I watch?

[Chris]

Microsoft win for me. I loved the kinect features and the new xbox. Gears looks great too!

[Camy]

e3.nintendo.com

the wii doesnt really seem to be picking up his movements right.

[Adamm]

the wii never does, it's a wii.


well that was a fail

[dbgtz]

Nintendo twisting our words
no one ever said people don't buy their games, we say no one buys games which aren't made by them and they obviously just studies on families with young kids.

[Camy]

lol wii party is just mario party?

[kk.]

Microsoft win for me. I loved the kinect features and the new xbox. Gears looks great too!

lol, k. the only good part of the microsoft conference was a tiny bit of kinect, and 2 unexclusive games. i didnt see gears but that looked alright tbh. but thats it.

my prediction for sonys conference is that we'll see kojima again, lbp2, infamous 2, KZ3, GT5, move, and 3D

[Adamm]

this is embarassing for nintendo

[Muct]

Excellent car reflctions, poor textures, but excellent detail on everything else.

Are we all on the same thing here? Are you on Hot Persuit?
Mine might be out of time majorly.
Theyre starting the game just now, are we all on the same thing

Oh wait... Why si GameTrailers showing the EA? :/
Im refreshing, might just be that.

[Chris]

Oo new goldeneye. Looks alright actually.

[samsaBEAR]

This Goldeneye thing is stupid. I loved the original, but it would benefit far more from being on a proper console. The Wii's graphics are far too piss poor for anything other than Mario games

we're watching the nintendo conference, not yesterdays ea one.

[dbgtz]

I think golden eye will flop cod+hd=dominant atm.
mickey game is a good concept imo.

[Camy]

Oo new goldeneye. Looks alright actually.
the graphics look horrible to me, but if the gameplays the same, it might be alright.

[Muct]

K, sorted out now, GameTrailers was randomly re-showing the EA one for me! :l

you mustve clicked the ea one by istake because they have them all recorded

[samsaBEAR]

If the Wii had better graphics I could see it being more appealing

[:LUFC:]

Medal of Honor online looks amazing.

[kk.]

If the Wii had better graphics I could see it being more appealing

i know, i just said to someone that although people say graphics dont mean anything, to me, i prefer to play a game which looks visually attractive. i cant stand graphics which are rubbish lol

[Chris]

the graphics look horrible to me, but if the gameplays the same, it might be alright.

Yeah the graphics definitely suck but the gameplay looks good.

[samsaBEAR]

i know, i just said to someone that although people say graphics dont mean anything, to me, i prefer to play a game which looks visually attractive. i cant stand graphics which are rubbish lol
Graphics don't mean a whole deal, but I definitely agree, I could never play a 'serious' game on the Wii because the graphics would annoy me far too much. Even some PS2 games have better graphics

[dbgtz]

this kirby game looks pathetic, would kids even like this? :S

seems like they took the stitching idea from lbp tbh, except made it crap.

[samsaBEAR]

It looks like a flash game some Nintendo fanboy has made, and why is everything so 'epic'. There is nothingepic about these games

[Adamm]

LOL WOW

nintendo are fail

[Camy]

Medal of Honor online looks amazing.

Its just battlefield online, with slightly updated graphics to me.


Yeah the graphics definitely suck but the gameplay looks good.

They look like ps2 graphics, but if the gameplay is like the original it should be fun, i remember sitting splitscreening with friends playing it for ages.



This Kirby game looks interesting.

[Muct]

The graphics are amazing, its just they always **** up on the people!

[Black_Apalachi]

Really don't get why the Wii is still even popular. Only time I play it is whenever we're round at a particular friend's house and we just get drunk and play Wii Sports and stuff lol but even then it's just so **** :L

I can't remember how long we had one for but it wasn't long - still laugh at anyone who was paying a grand for them on eBay that Christmas when they sold out

[samsaBEAR]

This Metroid game looks alright, but I lol at all the conveniently placed tunnels for her to roll through

---------- Post added 15-06-2010 at 05:51 PM ----------

I wonder if Nintendo will ever release a game of their own characters that isn't some kind of platformer

[dbgtz]

[Muct]

LMAOOOO

[Adamm]

ok so this is the 73rd version of the ds and it's a gimmicky piece of terrible messiness.

[Muct]

Why is he talking about the touch screen? All the others were touch screen too! Not impressed.

[samsaBEAR]

ok so this is the 73rd version of the ds and it's a gimmicky piece of terrible messiness.
Exactly what I thought. I don't really have any interest in 3D gaming, but what was once such a huge player in the gaming world is reduced to creating gimmick after gimmick just to sell the same 4 different games that they base all of their games on

[Camy]

it just annoys me how they're bringing out a new version every year. and 3d slider? why?

[Muct]

"Nintendo 3DS has a camera too" Big ******* whoop.

This would be over now if he wouldn't pause his talking every 2 seconds!

[Angel-Light]

Out of all of Nintendo's products they have shown, I am most looking forward to Donkey Kong Country :D Brings back a lot of childhood memories :) Not so much excited about the 3DS :/

[samsaBEAR]

Oh you can watch movies on it, that's a new idea!

[Chris]

3DS is ok. Donkey Kong looks good though. :p

[Muct]

"After 5 minutes your wings will burn and you will fall"

Right back at'cha, Nintendo!

[Camy]

wow, theres a huge lump of cheddar on that stage right now.

[Muct]

No there isnt.

[Adamm]

why couldn't sony's conference be on early? i'm going out in a bit... damnit. wasted my life watching nintendo's piece of crap. get something new 'tendo

[samsaBEAR]

I'm sure you'll be able to watch it back somewhere

[Muct]

Why did the audience just go sick then?
WOOOOOOOOOOWOWOJIOPSDFJIOPDS

[dbgtz]

Damn I have to get one for mgs now :( A strong 3DS presentation I think, the rest was bull.

Also whats with the use of epic?

[samsaBEAR]

MGS on the 3DS could be interesting, I'll give them that

[:LUFC:]

Where cani watch this?

[samsaBEAR]

I'm watching it on www.youtube.com/user/e3
I think it's weird that they haven't done anything to upgrade the Wii, why update their secondary console over and over again, and not update the main one

---------- Post added 15-06-2010 at 06:19 PM ----------

I don't feel that Nintendo has raised the bar at all

[dbgtz]

Sony soon, where can I see that? And tbh I think the DS gets upgraded possibly because of momentum loss which the wii hasn't suffered from yet and they don't need a new wii really.

[samsaBEAR]

I think the Wii needs it graphics updated extrememly. I'd never get a Wii while my PS2 puts out better graphics.
Also the youtube link I posted is streaming the PS3 briefing as well

[MrPinkPanther]

Nintendo just won e3 unless sony pulls it out of the bag imo.

[Camy]

what time is the sony one at?

wii's target market is still people that are new to the games industry/casual gamers, so they must not think they care about graphics too much. and they wouldn't be able to compete with the xbox and ps3 anyway, but it makes sense for them to make it better than ps2 graphics.

[Fez]

That was absolutely amazing. I can't count the titles I'm already looking forward to, I don't even have a Wii.

One of the best conferences I've ever seen, they really pulled off some magic.

[MrPinkPanther]

It makes NO sense for them to improve the graphics of the Wii until the next generation? it creates a rift between software that can be played between the two types of wii, it would have to be a completely new console.

[kk.]

Nintendo just won e3 unless sony pulls it out of the bag imo.

i dont see how, we all knew the 3DS was coming, and we cant even see what it looks like

[Chris]

Oo looks like we're getting some gears 3 after the sony conference and some forceunleashed 2 later on. Black ops is scheduled for tomorrow too.

[dbgtz]

me thinks a new house console is announced next year from M$, sony or nintendo

[GommeInc]

This reminds me of the April Fools joke Nintendo played (or someone played using Nintendo) where they proposed adding a DS screen to the side. Quite alot of people took it seriously :P

There were rumours that the Wii would be Nintendo's last console, which makes no sense. Nintendo definitely need to think about going HD in the next console, and maintaining backwards compatibility for the Wii and maybe the GameCube. Other than that, Nintendo will just remain the under dog that does things right while Microsoft and Sony battle it out :P

[MrPinkPanther]

i dont see how, we all knew the 3DS was coming, and we cant even see what it looks like

So...wait a second....you count:
New Console
New Zelda
New Donkey Kong
New Kirby
New Kid Icarus
+ Hints at new Starfox, Mario and possibly MGS

as not being big?

[W00TZEH]

god you lot are depressing

[Black_Apalachi]

I wish Nintendo would just die. It played its part in the gaming world with the GameBoy and its other early consoles but now they're just squeezing the pips of Mario etc and it's annoying

[Adamm]

Sort of agree with this. It helped explode gaming, but it'll never be as good as Microsoft and Sony. I also don't see how people are excited for the new games announced for the Wii, they all look like games that have already been made for it, just with new scenery. Goldeneye was the only one I thought was different, and even then it looked crap

[MrPinkPanther]

Don't forget Goldeneye.
Ah indeed ^^.

Nintendo's conferences have been appalling in the past few years. Yesterday I think Microsofts was appalling. Sony needs to ramp up their game to defeat Nintendo's conference.

[Technologic]

I just hope SONY doesn't focus too much on move....

[MrPinkPanther]

It will never match MS or Sony?.....Yeh because Mario Galaxy 2 isn't the highest rated game of all time......Just because you don't like it it doesn't make it bad. I don't like Halo but I still appreciate that it's a decent well made game. The thing is Nintendo always mix up their New Mario and Zelda games and typically you will only get one 3D Mario (Apart from Wii which has two) and two Zelda's per console. Its hardly like other popular Genres such as Call of Duty or Guitar Hero where they release a new one every year is it?


I just hope SONY doesn't focus too much on move....
Agreed. They really need to be careful and need to have some killer titles up their sleeve.

[Fez]

I don't get all the negativity around them? At the start of the conference I was thinking

"NO GAMES." walk off stage.

They showed Zelda, which was great, went on to casuals and then I thought that was it. Next thing I know there's Donkey Kong Country, Golden Sun, Goldeneye and Metroid; pretty much my childhood all lined up for the first time in a while.

That and Epic Mickey, which I hate that it's a Wii exclusive, have been waiting for it for years.

[Niall!]

I.. I cried.

Tears of joy.

THANK YOU NINTENDO, THANK YOU

[Fez]

I.. I cried.

Tears of joy.

THANK YOU NINTENDO, THANK YOU

Didn't you sell your Wii? :P

[MrPinkPanther]

Yeh when they said Epic Mickey I was thinking "Yawn, here we go, 2007 all over again" but it looked really, really cool.

Agreed with both of you on the Playstation Move thing.
But yes, Nintendo won't catch up with the 360 or PS3. I doubt the 360 will catch up to the PS3 either in terms of hardware, same as the PS3 system won't ever be as good as Live. It's a vicious circle, but I think Nintendo have had their time

Hardware does not make a console, software does and always has. Hardware should only used to facilitate the software that a developer wants to make, when a developer has a good idea and it can't be done on Wii then Nintendo should look at what they can do to accommodate that, whether this takes the form of an accessory or maybe a software update. However honestly I can't see how Nintendo have "Had their day". Look at the top 3 most critically games in history, 2 of them are Wii games and the Wii is by far the best selling console on the market.

Double post merged by Dinasaw (Forum Moderator) due to forum lag.

[dbgtz]

Well no, the 360 won't match the ps3 or it will be a completely new system :P
I think Sony could easily get a system like M$s but it doesn't give the option between the peer to peer live or the open network psn.

Wii is best selling atm because it's cheap, we all know that. If all were the same price I think the PS3 would be ahead based on the gained momentum from the slim.
Anyway just because it's critically acclaimed doesn't mean it's amazing, look at GTA IV. As said by some reviewers, alot is based off of the consumers themselves rather then the actual game. And tbh I would like to know your source LOL.

new console? I dont class a 3DS as a console.. and not really, but i suppose you have to be fans of the things to begin with to understand why theyre big. But as i said before, i hate playing things which look ugly, and most things they demoed look childish and horrible to my eyes, (except donkey kong) and i would never even touch them because i do hate playing games which look horrible.

So why isn't the 360 outselling the wii? The Wii is $250 and the 360 is $199...well $149 now is it not?

My source is Gamerankings who collate the average from all of the main review sites:
http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html

Of course at the end of the day the review is only a guide and the descision is down to the end user themselves but the fact is "reviewers" are the only way to get a game rated with minimum fanboyism. We've all seen it, before Mario Galaxy 2 was even out numerous people had given it a "0"

[dbgtz]

http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html

Mario Galaxy 2 is actually 1#

No he said out of the top 3 games 2 are wii. And I don't get how it is, I played it once and it was just awful.

And A) They weren't the same price at launch
B) Only the arcade is cheaper.
C) Those are USA prices

In the UK I found the new 360 with 250gb HDD for £200 and the wii for £165.

There's your problem.

[kk.]

WHAT!? Its not even a console now? You don't make sense..

when you say 'console', i automatically think a stationary object which would play games. a 3DS is a handheld games console.. its not a major release. you come to expect a new DS to come out nearly every year anyway.. you cant count this as a big thing because basically, we all knew it was coming, and they do it every year.. or so it seems. If they actually announced a NEW console, such as WiiHD or 3D then fair enough, but they didnt..

[Niall!]

Don't worry guys, Microsoft and Sony fanboys just be hatin cuz they jealous.

Also, not a major release? OH GOD THE DENIAL LEVELS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE ROOF

The biggest advancement in 3D gaming ever is "not a major release" because you can move it around? HAHAHAHA

[kk.]

yeh.....the 360 is cheaper....thats my point.....

did i ever say i disagreed with your point? erm no. i dont think i did. in fact, i posted AGREEing with it. keep up. i was merely pointing out the prices are actual just about level, and dont have a £70 gap between them

[MrPinkPanther]

did i ever say i disagreed with your point? erm no. i dont think i did. in fact, i posted AGREEing with it. keep up. i was merely pointing out the prices are actual just about level, and dont have a £70 gap between them
In the US the price differences are more dramatic, at least i believe they are ;). Sorry, + Rep anyway :)
