DISCLAIMER: Head's up people! There's probably gonna be some mature language in here! So if ya don't wanna read that...hit the road. Also...Fanboys and Fangirls should get out now too cause I don't want to deal with you. And for that matter..if you're not smart enough to realize there's gonna be SPOILERS in here...you're beyond my help.
~~~~~~~+++++===+++++~~~~~~~
Yo, People! It's that time once again! E3 may have changed but that doesn't mean you won't be getting the annual report from me! And here we go! E3 2007! (Specially dedicated to my friend E...cause this year's E3 just happens to be ...E3 '07...heh) So...what do ya say we kick things off!
Day 0: Conference Day!
Right-o! Today's news conference day. Not nearly as fun or exciting as the other days...but here we go!
Nintendo[/u][/size]:
Well...Nintendo's bringing something strange to the Wii and the DS...Jenga. Ya know...the game with the little stacking wooden blocks? Yeah…for some reason it’s coming to a console. Seriously…if you need to play Jenga that bad…save it for a party with other people.
New Wii Channel called ‘Check Mii Out’. It’s basically a channel for showing off your Mii Creations. Cool and all…but it seems pretty pointless.
Wii[/u][/size]:
Trauma Center: New Blood. Trauma Center: Second Opinion was a spectacular game. And now a new one’s coming to the Wii. And It looks like it’s going to be just as good if not better than the last one. And just as challenging.
The Wii-Zapper has gotten upgraded from pistol to SMG style! It lets you plug in the Wii-Mote and the Nunchuck and kick some ass in FPS style! Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Medal of Honor, and Ghost Squad…all coming up soon. And the Zapper’s gonna be $20 Alone…and is coming out with some games.
Soul Calibur Legends! Oh yeah! Head’s up Soul Calibur fans cause it’s time for Wii-Hacking and slashing as your favorite SC characters. Like Ivy and her -1 pants and Voldo and his spikey crotch of danger!
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games. Now…I’m sure we’re all happy to finally see Mario and Sonic as well as their respective crews together in one game. But…freakin’ Olympics? C’mon! LAME! Give us a platformer or a fighter or an RPG!
Super Smash Brothers Brawl! December 3rd…mine.
Guitar Hero on the Wii…online battling of the bands! And Guess what…cool exclusive guitar controller.
Mario Kart Wii…is gonna be online and in the first quarter! And it’s not just racing…the other modes are coming in too! And apparently you’ll be getting the Wii-Wheel with the game. Something else to plug the Wii-Mote into!
Super Mario Galaxy is coming with a ‘new user interface’ on November 12th. And gravity’s a big feature of this title. Oh yeah…and Mario in a Bee-Suit.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has got some new tricks. I’m a little worried about the new visor switching system because it uses the Wii-Mote’s (–) button. But otherwise things look good. Samus has a new suit…and freakin’ HyperMode.
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2! HAHA! Crazy fun with those rabbids!
WiiFit is the next Wii-Exercise title. And it’s coming with a special ‘Wii-Balance Board’ for doing these exercises on. It apparently weight and pressure sensitive. Dance games...hula-hoops…lots of possibilities.
DS[/u][/size]:
Ultimate Mortal Kombat? Honestly…has Midway learned nothing from the past portable Kombats? Can we say…destined to fail? Oh well…who knows. Perhaps we’ll be surprised.
Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass is all touch screen control. People complained about how they thought the game wouldn’t be as good because the controls would be trimmed. Well…they’re not. Its just a new way to use all of Link’s toys. So don’t underestimate it.
GBA[/u][/size]:
Hmm...info points to this system finally meeting its end as the number of games being made for it declining more and more...
Sony[/u][/size]:
Alright…I’ve gotta tell you Sony Fanboys… When I told you last year to shut up…THIS IS WHY! Sony’s in 3rd place for a reason. And I don’t want to hear whining! Now let’s get moving along shall we?
PS3[/u][/size]:
Yeah…a price drop…$100 drop. That’s it? So sad…Sony, drop another $100 and then we’ll talk.
Grand Theft Auto 4…is happening in Liberty City. In present day. There’s gonna be some kinda online play, I’m thinking something like Crackdown. It’s got recreations of 4 of the five bouroughs of NYC. And there will be little to no cameos from former game characters. And I really must rub this in some more…It’s not PS3 exclusive! HAHA! October 16th is when it’ll show.
Haze…is another shooter. It’s coming from the guys at Ubisoft. Looks like it’ll have some pretty good squad work, weapons, and vehicle combat.
Unreal Tournament 3 is actually a PS3 exclusive. Yep. And you’ll be able to bring stuff from your PC to the PS3! So…maps…characters…whatever. It just got wings.
Now, some of this cool stuff I’m seeing on Playstation Home is pretty cool. But…interesting features like phone to PS3 connection does not a console save. And Sony’s putting far too much hype and focus on Home and the PS Network. Not good Sony…
MGS4: Guns of the Patriots …the end of the series. All the secrets. All the confusing plot points. Everything will be done, cleared, and finished here. And it looks like PS3 dodged a bullet by keeping this exclusive.
Infamous from the guys that brought us Sly Cooper. It’s freakin’ Super Hero time baby! With evolving and changing powers in a massive city…you can fight giant robot spiders! And shoot lightning!
Killzone 2 does look good. Lot’s of shiny graphics and intense movies…but let’s see if the game play itself is any good.
Alright…I’ve gotta tell you Sony Fanboys… When I told you last year to shut up…THIS IS WHY! Sony’s in 3rd place for a reason. And I don’t want to hear whining! Now let’s get moving along shall we?
PS2[/u][/size]:
Yeah…this system’s still alive. And it’s pretty much the only thing really making money for Sony’s video game department.
PSP[/u][/size]:
Such a sad fate for this little thing. The PSP just isn’t worth it. Not enough good games. UMD Failed. And its still a bit too expensive. Will the PSP survive for long? Who knows…
Sims 2: Cast Away. Right…Take the Sims…and strand them on a tropical island. That’s this game.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. Same Tactics action you know and love…new adventure. And now with more animated cutscenes.
Yeah…’new’ PSP. Well…let’s see...it’s lighter. It’s coming in Silver. And it’ll be bundled with some old stuff…like a copy of Daxter. But let’s see…they haven’t improved game quality. They didn’t drop price. They didn’t fix the crappy controls or lack of a second thumb-stick…so…FAIL!
Microsoft[/u][/size]:
Gears of War for Vista? Yep. It’s gonna have an editor…and new exclusive stuff! And there will apparently be surprises. Oh well…gotta wait for it. And guess what one of the new things is? A Special battle against a special boss monster!
Xbox 360[/u][/size]:
Oh! A price drop here too! Well, let’s see…that’s actually a good move on Microsoft’s side. Even if all of the warrantee cash-ins are costing them cash…
Virtua Fighter 5 is coming this fall to the Xbox 360. And guess what? It’ll have Online Play. Cheer for Sega.
Halo 3…11 Weeks from this night. The first new trailer’s pretty pointless though. September 25…and a special Halo 3 Special Addition 360. It’s Master Chief Green. Well…the second new trailer looks more informative. New Covenant vehicles, fighting alongside the Elites and their forces, and a new gun…not much else looked ‘new’.
Rock Band…take guitar hero, fuse it with Kareoke Revolution, and drop in some taeko drum master. So…all around it looks enjoyable. The only question…can it dethrone Guitar Hero or are we seeing Guitar Hero suffer what DDR has?
Mass Effect is coming this November. Go!
Scene it? Ya know? That movie DVD trivia game? Alright…this is just Sad. It was already a sad board game…and now they’re putting it on the Xbox360? Sad. It may come with its own controller…but it’s basically…’Controller for Dummies!’.
I’m not even gonna cover the deluge of sports titles from EA. So guess what…suck it up fanboys. It’s the same thing every year and lately…the quality has been declining. So shut up and deal with it!
What’s new to X-Box Live Arcade? Bomberman, new Bejeweled. WarWorld Mech Combat. Sonic! Wing Commander Arena. Space Giraffe. A hell of a lot of puzzle and board games, and Golden Axe.
Project Gotham Racing 4…well…It’s gonna have motor cycles. And you can go Bike V Car. Otherwise…it’s pretty much the same PGR you’re used to. Nothing new except locations and it looks more shiny.
Splinter Cell: Conviction. A 360 Exclusive.
Resident Evil Five. Hmm…it looks like the Ganados may be back. And in greater numbers. And there may also be a second force to contend with at the same time!
Assassin’s Creed is looking VERY good. Lot’s of ninja-like goodness! With chases, counter attacks, acrobatics and a lot of good strategy…it’s looking like something you’ll definitely want to check out.
PC & Other[/u][/size]:
Medal Of Honor: Airborne for the PS3, 360, and PC. I don’t know about the rest of you out there…but I’ve had more than enough of World War Two! Honestly…if you played and liked the other Medal of Honors…you’ll like this. Otherwise…avoid. Oh yeah…the PS3 version comes late…but comes with a special Six-Axis.
Ya know? I don’t know about you…but I believe it’s a bit too soon for Microsoft to be making it’s PC games VISTA only. I know it should happen eventually…but with the current state of Vista…it’s too soon.
Spore! Now…I like Spore. Even if I’ll need a NASA super computer and a ritual sacrifice to run it properly. And get this, There’s gonna be Spore DS and Spore Mobile Phone too. Okay, really…screw the mobile phone version. But c’mon…Spore DS! It may not be as BIG as Spore PC…but it’s still got potential.
Left 4 Dead! Zombie game from the Valve Guys! Team based combat against near endless zombies. And they’re fast zombies! And Special Zombies! This game’s making it literally impossible to NOT work as a team. And guess what? You don’t just have to play as the loser humans. You can play as the super zombies!
Call of Duty 4 is finally taking us out of freakin’ World War 2! We’re going to Modern Warfare now. It’s set in the Middle East…yet no real life conflicts. So…Call of Duty fans, shooter fans? Keep your eyes open for this one! And you can apparently have a dog! And the Online Multiplayer Beta comes out tonight on X-Box Live.
Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock. Ya know Slash? He’s in the game as a boss. Pearl Jam, Guns and Roses, The Scorpians, Rolling Stones and MANY more are part of the new massive song listing. And guess what…wireless guitars now for all now. And now…battle mode comes up as a new feature that’s sure to have you all ‘rocking out’ some more.
(NOTE! Feel free to discuss what's up now! More will be added to here soon! And then tomorrow is the Day 1 Report!)
