E3 Anticipation Thread

It sucks! I went last year and it was pretty bad, a good experience but from a NEWS stand-point, pretty bad. I was wished I went this year instead.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, it sucks. It was pretty cool, some of them were hired from various Strip Joints around the city. Whores and Games, the perfect combination!

But last year, AGETEC scared the shit out of many people as well as me with their 'ANTI-BOOTH BABES'. I caught a glimpse of one of them when I was about to enter the Convention Center.



Scary stuff.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Being on-site and behind a computer, a zillion miles away are two different things. You got to sit your fat-ass all day long waiting to be fed with the latest news while I had to walk around and find it. Plus, the 360 was about to be released a couple of months after E3, so it was anyone's guess that MS would be ready with some really cool shit like hands-on demonstrations. They only had a 15 seconds NFS 360 demo and a stage from CONDEMNED playable, that's it. I even went to MS's booth to know why they didn't have anything playable and the Media Representative threw me some BS like 'We don't want to over-shadow our current line-up' which meant that they weren't ready and all there 'Demos', being played by various people from there respective company, were running on two Apple G5s.

Plus, there wasn't any GROUND-BREAKING news or show-stoppers. Not for me though. So all this is a personnal opinion.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And what would be the purpose of that 'press event'?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, they said they were re-designing it. I'm just waiting for them to announce the price tags, various accessories and surprises they have for their systems to finally know what I'll buy.

But, seriously, with a Blu-Ray Player inside that thing, it's gotta be 600-700$CAN. Which is a little fortune. And isn't worth it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but pretty much all the main players that elevated SQUARE to what it is to day are gone. Including most of the guys that developped the original Chrono game, which are with Microsoft now, developping various other RPGs.

How ya doing, buddy?

My hopes for E3 '06:

- Killer Instinct 3 for XBOX 360
- More details on Resident Evil 5
- Killer Instinct 1 or 2 (or both) for Xbox Live Arcade
- Halo Movie details
- Halo 3 details
- Alan Wake details with a definitive relase date
- Max Payne 3 announcement with REMEDY developping it

If half of that is a reality, then I'll be happy!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Guys, ORIGAMI and the soon-to-be-announced Portable VG system are two different things.

How ya doing, buddy?

I tried that last year and all I got out of them was a guy who made a tumble-weed roll in the booth with a windy sound.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
