Official E3 2007 Thread! (1 Viewer)

E3 starts at about midday AEST this Tuesday (Today!). Can't wait.

Keep all E3 news and posts to this thread.

I lied in the other thread, I actually am hyped about it now.

Rumors have it that Sony seem to finally be releasing a "Dual Shock 3" using TouchSense technology rather than raw "rumble". Kind of interested in this. This is purely speculation at the moment though, only evidence being a blurred control in a vid showing a demonstration of a game which seemed to be rumbling/the only explanation of why it was blurred out.

Game wise, I'm still not really hyped for much... I'm just finding the wars to be fun to follow at the moment. Looking forward to watching Nintendo's press conference too.. they always seem to make it awesome, even though I h8 wii.

 

[stazi]

What's touchsense and how would it be different to the raw rumble.

My prediction is that Metal Gear Solid will be coming to the 360.

I'm mostly excited about all the demos i'll be able to play, though. yay. cant wait.

 

[uhawww]

If MGS goes to 360, Sony are almost boned. It seems very possible though.. and at this point probably logical. 360 might also get a price drop, in retaliation to Sony dropping $100(USD) off US consoles.

The whole thing is probably bullshit though, but I doubt Sony wouldn't be looking for a way to get rumble into their controls.

 

[stazi]

Yeah I was thinking about the price drop too. I'm thinking that it'll be MGS 5 coming to the 360, rather than 4.

[stazi]

the others have not been confirmed at all.

 

[Flaming Ninja]

Damn.

 

[stazi]

It is likely, though that we'll see a few of the other ones, though. I think bioshock is quite likely, considering it's been shown off in playable form for a while, now.

With Sony dropping the price of the PlayStation 3 by $100, Konami is now saying that it just isn’t enough to turn the fortunes of the console.
In an interview with Reuters, Kazumi Kitaue, the head of Konami's North American and European operations said, “I wonder if Sony can win back user support by the price cut of just $100. I don't expect a substantial impact ... With $500, you can buy a personal computer."

Kitaue also mentioned that Konami may need to start developing Metal Gear Solid for other consoles in the future in order to recoup development costs.

"Since Metal Gear Solid was born for the PlayStation, we would like to keep it a PlayStation game. But we might have to take some steps," Kitaue said.

Interesting. Not exactly E3 related, but still interesting.

 

[Flaming Ninja]

So, Microsoft's press conference starts at 1:30pm tomorrow for us. I'm pumped.

 

[stazi]

Yep it does. Should be streaming on quite a few sites, too

 

[runtlocks]

Did no one reply to my thread because I called everyone "lame"?



Anyhow:


My top priorities:
Here's to hoping we get some info on a new, true predecessor to the Ninja Gaiden series on the xbox. I've been hearing that they'll probably make it a 360 exclusive, which is damn well good enough for me.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo Remix - some nice screenshots or gameplay vids would be swell
More info on Fallout 3 by Bethsoft
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii
Unreal Tournament 3??

Hmmm:

The Half Life Orange Box is something I'm watching.
Handful of Harvest Moon DS games!
Four Megaman games on DS?!
Geometry Wars on the DS
Atlus is becoming one of my favourite developers, hopefully they've got something in line for the DS
Phoenix Wright sequel
Devil May Cry 4

Yeah, the Wii has been nothing short of a complete letdown to me since it was released.

Kojima has made it rather clear in the past that he is not porting MGS4 to the 360, but hey, fingers crossed.

But wasn't Kojima recently quoted saying how the 360 was able to run MGS4, which begs the question why were they even testing that?

 

[stazi]

nothing - starts tomorrow arvo (our time). Although an early NCAA Football 08 demo did cum out for the 360 which was good news for me

 

[withoutaface]

Hey guys so what's out so far?

Battletoads.
