Countdown to E3

[Lockeownzj00]

Wii will, Wii will, Rock you... (http://ccgi.shah57.plus.com/countdown.html)

What are you all hyped up for? I've definitely got a focus in mind. But the sheer influx of news on next-gen is going to have me RSSin' like it's nobody's business.

I'm telling you. I'm ready for a Wiivolution here.

[Royalspork]

Who cares about wii, when the EA booth is going to be 90% Spore.

[MuMu]

I want to see the next generation...PS3 and Wii. And of course, Spore. EVERYONE is hyped up for this game(Even I that don't own a computer powerful enough to run it).

[Novasol]

Wii is all I care about, really. Well, that and the DS. As soon as they announce the price of the Wii, I'm going to go pre-order it.

[Kurosen]

Is that what people who don't go have to do? SUCKERS! :D

[Mirai Gen]

Shut up.

By the way, how does one get tickets to E3, anyway? Do they have to belong to a gaming mag/online mag, or the obligatory webcomic?

I'm pumped for the Wii, and anything that's on it, as well as the usual Spore. I'm also excited about the PS3's games; too much awesome to count. Also, would it be too much to ask Capcom for another Viewtiful Joe, and more about Devil May Cry 4? God of War 2, baby.

[Major Blood]

Well, having a widely recognized* webcomic is one way to go, then there is the rididculously expensive route. (http://www.e3expo.com/attendees/pricing.aspx)

* - Widely recognized by video game dorks like us, i mean.

[Lockeownzj00]

Seeing as how this community largely agrees on the two most important appearances at the show, so as to save our precious fingers time, I have developed a portmanteau to refer to both Spore and Wii at the same time:

Spwii.

[Martamania]

Truth be told, I never really care about E3. Generally speaking, I know what I'm going to buy as soon as it's annunced based on what series I play, and to be quite honest I'm really not interested in any of the next three sytems, since the PS3 is expensive, the Revolution has a stupid controller, and I don't care about graphics and don't like shooters or online so I have no need for a 360.

Also, God of War 2 is on the PS2, not the PS3. I'm glad, 'cause otherwise I'd be stuck having to buy one a.s.a.p. instead of waiting for the price to lower.

[The Wandering God]

This E3 is going to be landmark.

Playable PS3.

Playable Wii. (Gets easier every time you type it, oddly enough.)

And the 360 starting to really show us some next gen stuff.

The PC will have some innovative titles hopefully.

I'm anxiously awaiting for some news about several high profile games well. (But that's pretty much standard.)

So yeah, no matter what, this will be one to pay attention to.

The Wandering God

[Living Bobbeh]

The PC will have some innovative titles hopefully.

And DirectX 10 and Vista (among other things)

I want more news on Rockstar's Table Tennis!

[BlackMageFF1]

I won't be able to attend this year (as every year) but I can't wait to hear about all the cool stuff that I won't be able to afford!

[Novasol]

Is that what people who don't go have to do? SUCKERS! :D

You magnificent, successful bastard.

e3 has always taunted me, really. Back when it was being held in Atlanta, I would always tell myself "Well, I'll find a way to go when I'm 18." So, naturally the expo moves to Los Angeles before that could happen.

Now, I'm not saying I desperately want to go, but I'd sell several of you into slavery right now in order to be there. Granted, I'd do that anyway, but normally I'd haggle, while this would be an instant sale.

As for individual games I want to see... so help them if I hear nothing on Smash Brothers. Here's hoping we FINALLY get more than one Kirby character in the game. It's HAL's flagship series and SSB only has Kirby in it?

Spore... I'd care more about Spore if I thought I could actually run the damn thing.

[ElfLad]

SSB is a Wii launch title, so yeah, there will probably be some news on Super Smash Bros. Wiilee.

[Mac]

Next year. I pray to god I can afford it...next year.

What i am waiting to hear about:

Nintendo Wii
Halo 3
Playstaion 3
FFXIII (yes they will be unveiling XIII here...or so I am told.)
Spores
And I think there will be a mention of Jade Empire2

[Regulus Tera]

I can't believe not a single one of you has said Twilight Princess.

Of course, it was there last year, but who cares!

Zelda TP! Zelda TP!

[PyrosNine]

...Eh. I shall dream to go, but not ever go because I'm poor and lonely. There's also the fact that being in large crowds makes me nervous, and when I get nervous things burn down.

I'm interested in everything that's going to be there, so I can't say specifically what I hope to hear about from E3.

Is that what people who don't go have to do? SUCKERS! :D

If you're at E3 and I see you on G4, undressing the PS3 with your dirty, dirty mind, I'm going to direct every ounce of malicious staring power I possess and cause it to explode with chaos and flame spewing in every direction. Just so that you may see what is good, and then see it taken away violently.

For great justice!

[phil_]

I can't believe not a single one of you has said Twilight Princess.See, the thing is, I've seen enough. I already know that I should put it in my Wii once I've played through it. I know Link's gonna wolf-ify. I've been told that they're trying to make it better than Ocarina of Time. What I want, dear friend, is to play it! It's appearance at E3 is just another reminder that it's taking a while to finish.

As to what I'm looking foward to: Spwii and all games associated with the latter half. I can't think of anything else to look foward to. I'm not looking foward to the next eight-ish days of agonizing waiting.

Maybe I can find a way to go into a week-long coma... drugs, perhaps?

[MFD]

I want the release date for TP finalized at E3. I want to see the Wii. People playing it, at least.

I also want to see Wii games.

... And I want to see new DS games.

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

*nods along with what has been said so far*
games not listed that i hope to hear more about:

Command and Conqure 3: Tiberium Wars - just recently announced, but hopefully EA will throw some more info at us

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade - i'm not certain i'll still be interested in WoW when the expansion finaly comes out, but i am curious as to what the Alliance race will be (assuming they've been waiting for E3 to tell us)

Battlefield 2142 - (walking tanks. WALKING TANKS!) lots of info that i want on this game, hopefully EA will be in a talkative mood.

NC Soft - The only game that I know they're working on is Tabula Rasa, which is a fairly interesting idea in and of itself. however, i've liked most of the games they've put out, so i'm interested to see if they've got anything else under development.

Unreal Tournament 2k7 - they mentioned the game at last year's E3, apparently they had some crazy alpha version to show people. hopefully they'll have something more this time.

[Mondt]

FFXIII (yes they will be unveiling XIII here...or so I am told.)XII? 'Cuz that isn't even out yet. 13 is long far away, or at least I assume it is.

The guy in FF12 looks like a girl. It's horrible. With new graphical abilities, we will be able to make our men's skin smoother and shinier!

...

[Mac]

XII? 'Cuz that isn't even out yet. 13 is long far away, or at least I assume it is.
...

I said they were unveiling it. Probably some lame screen cap. I got the info from this months EGM

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

yeah i heard that too. apparently XII has been done for a while, and Square is...beyond rationality and hasn't released it in the US; all the while continuing to work on XIII.

[The Wandering God]

Here's the deal. They didn't want to release any news about XIII til XII was released in Japan.

Oh, and here is something I haven't seen mentioned, yet would be cool:
new GTA info. Especially it's next gen plans.

That, and more DS stuff.

The Wandering God

[The_Phat_G]

I was going to smack the lot of you if someone didn't at least mention WoW's expansion.
World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade - i'm not certain i'll still be interested in WoW when the expansion finaly comes out, but i am curious as to what the Alliance race will be (assuming they've been waiting for E3 to tell us)
You have been spared.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to more trailors of Twilight Princess and Spore. I can't say that I'm as excited about Spore as everyone else is, but I am extremely interested by the concept, and more than likely will end up spending countless hours playing it.

EDIT: OOOO! WAIT! I almost forgot about Starcraft: Ghost. I think if I see another trailor of that game with even more goodies than before, I might have to change my pants. You know, because I'll have creamed in them.

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

uh...you do know that Ghost was "indefinatly postponed", right?

[The_Phat_G]

If I'm not mistaken, that was years and years ago. They reopened the project sometime last year, and since then, a number of sexy, sexy cinematic and gameplay trailors have been released on the game's official site.

And now it's canned again. Unless the heavens part and even God says, "Get off your asses Blizzard and make some sort of sequel to Starcraft!" Because nothing short of divine intervention can do something about it. (Then again, rumors are circulating that it could reappear as a next gen release some time down the line. Rumor though.)

The Wandering God

[EVILNess]

Super Smash Bros. Wiilee

That is actually a brilliant name...

I hope they announce some of the chars that will be in the next game at E3.

...

And how they are gonna be shipping Mother 3 to the US shores...

[Regulus Tera]

You know what's cool? Square is finally repaying for all the bullcrap they did before.

FFIII for DS and V and VI for GBA.

*¬*

Honestly? I'm not sure what the fuck they're doing.

Last I heard about Starcraft:Ghost, they were planning it for next-gen consoles (Which spurned the "They missed a generation of gaming" jokes). At this point? I'm not even going to think about it. It hurts too much.

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

two more: Warhammer 40k Dawn of War expansion pack - I hear they're adding the Tau and Necris races, would like to know more about it.

Bioware - I've heard two rumors about thier next game, its either gonna be an MMO or a Star Wars game. regardless of what it is, i wanna know what they're up to.

[Chipper173]

I wanna see Bioshock. That thing is hot. And maybe Blizzard will announce the Alliance race in WoW, so I'm interested in that too.

[Mac]

Has any list been leaked on who and what will be there?

[Fifthfiend]

Re: Blizzard, call me when they announce Starcraft 2.

Oh hell, I'll even take Worlds of Starcraft.

[Mondt]

new GTA info. Especially it's next gen plans.Even if I liked the series, I would rather those just stop coming out. It's just too much media, in my opinion.

[Fifthfiend]

I actually kind of have to agree. It's like, it's a really big city and you can beat the NPCs to death, okay, we get it already. Come up with something new, fellas (Midnight Club does not count).

Of course the chances of that happening are roughly the same as Rockstar taking the five hundred gozillion dollars they made off the last GTA game, donating it to charity, and retiring from videogame making to live as Benedictine monks.

But still, it's a nice thought.

Two words: Table Tennis.
