E3

[vaizado]

It's next week! July 11th-13th.

Quite frankly, Im only looking forward to the new MGS4 trailer. :rotflmao

[Lilium]

oh? great, I'll be looking for new game trailers on youtube then since i can't go to E3 myself T_T. I wonder if there will be new updates on ff13 or ffvs13.

[Serph]

I wish I can go :(, I'm hoping for a new FFXIII trailer, and we get to know a little about the story or chracters. MGS 4, and DMC4.

[Byakuya]

It's a shame E3 has been severely downgraded, but I'm still interested in MGS4 trailers, new FFXIII info and Crisis Core stuff.

[krompt]

Does anyone know where i could find a more recent trialer?

[Byakuya]

Of what, exactly? =3

Still no word from Square unfortunately. D:

[Shirosaki]

MUST SEE

NEXT KH PREVIEW

[Byakuya]

Agreed D: Kingdom Hearts 3 better not be for the Wii or something like that ._.

[Shirosaki]

i heard it will be for multiple platforms

[Byakuya]

Where did you hear that? :headscratch

[Shirosaki]

on NF kingdom hearts thread

[Byakuya]

Oh I see.. Has it been confirmed yet? I find it strange that I haven't heard about it anywhere. :headscratch

[Shirosaki]

dunno .

[Byakuya]

Okay. I don't think we should discuss KH further in this thread, we'll end up being totally off-topic. D:

Here's something on-topic:

Microsoft Press Conference Live Stream (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160961)

[Syn]

I wonder what MMO will be the joke of E3 this year XD Last year I had a good laugh with DnL but I wonder if any MMO will be able to top this one (worst MMO ever, its pathetism is what makes players laugh) XD

[Byakuya]

E3 2007: Metal Gear Solid 4 Trailer on PSN (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160978)

[aznxenocide]

mmm delicious trailers. Thanks for the many updates dude! ^.^

FF XI? Pity no one cares about it. XD Any word on FF XIII yet?

[Byakuya]

Unfortunately there has been almost no Square related news whatsoever D: We will have to wait patiently. =3

[Sola]

Yeah. I want some FFIV remake news. Or FFTA2.

[vaizado]

Damn, Kojima and Konami were finally the ones who stepped up said the new E3 was sh*t. (well they didnt use that word of course, but you get the point)

Im even willing to bet that's why Kojima didnt bring a MGS4 demo to E3, his was of saying "f*ck you" to ESA for downsizing E3. lol

[Serph]

I can't wait for RE5! Looks great, but I'm not sure about Silent Hill, nothing is shown, I wonder if it will have any connections to any game in the series.

MGS4 is last in the series!? Nooooo!

[Byakuya]

Yeah I'll miss MGS too :(

I really want more coverage on Silent Hill, I'm more interested in that than RE5 to be honest.

[Serph]

I wonder what Kojima and Konami are going to be delivering after MGS4, I hope no remakes of old MGS -_-;

[Byakuya]

I hope Kojima starts a brand new series \o/

[Serph]

Do you think we'll be seeing Zone of the Enders 3? Or maybe a new Boktai?

Both games were good, and I really loved the idea of Boktai and using the sun light in the game itself.

[Byakuya]

Boktai's solar sensor concept was brilliant and fun and I certainly wouldn't mind a new one but I don't really think it's very likely that we're getting one >_>

I've actually never played much of the ZOE series so I wouldn't know D:

Anyways.. I think if we continue this discussion we'll be completely off-topic D: there should be a general gaming discussion thread or something >_<

[Serph]

My bad! Maybe you should start a general gaming thread :)

Back on topic: I was really surprised that there wasn't much on FFXIII. I keep watching the old trailers of FFXIII and FFXIII Versus. I was hoping for a new trailer.

[Byakuya]

Yeah they really need to show us some brand new FFXIII coverage, thus far they've only shown us extended versions of the old ones >_>

[Velius]

Agreed on that. We have seen plenty of new stuff from other games! I want some game play video! :D Come on Square-Enix don't let me down! (not that you could. lol)

[Byakuya]

Well we can only wait and see unfortunately =p

If anyone is interested in God of War, here's a gameplay trailer for the Chains of Olympus game, fresh from E3.

Trailer. (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/13167)

[Sola]

Are there any websites that give you an E3 video tour??

[Byakuya]

Hmm I don't know if there's any right now, but they usually pop up on various websites after E3 has ended.

[Serph]

I just watched NIGHTS trailer for Wii, that game brings back memories...

[Byakuya]

Hmm I don't think I've seen that one yet, link? :3

Some more coverage,

[Akutabi]

Here is NIGHTS Trailer (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/12946)
I remember playing it on Saturn, still have it :)

It and VF2 are the only reasons I've kept the system. I'm still a bit tentative on this sequel.

[Byakuya]

Ah that actually looks like a fun, magical game D: Flying is always fun <3

[Serph]

But it looks like it will be an exclusive, and if you're using the Wii remote to control NIGHTS, yeah it will be fun!

[Byakuya]

Too bad I don't actually own a Wii eh D:

[Serph]

I don't think I'll buy Wii to play NIGHTS. Even though I loved that game, and was always hoping for a sequel.

Some release dates are Q4 2007, or early 2008. I hope no games get their release dates pushed back, or delayed.

[Byakuya]

I actually have enough money to buy a Wii in my room, right now. But I'm saving for a PS3.

E3: No more 60GB PlayStation 3 in US after July (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/13/sony-switcheroo-no-more-60gb-playstation-3-in-us-after-july/)

It's one step forward and a giant lurch back as Sony is poised to pull the plug on their 60GB PlayStation 3. You know, the same PlayStation 3 that they generously shaved $100 dollars from earlier this week.

E3: Lost Odyssey Impressions (http://kotaku.com/gaming/e307/lost-odyssey-impressions-278008.php)

I really wanted this game to be fantastic. Take most of the previous Final Fantasy crew—Hironobu Sakaguchi, Nobuo Uematsu especially, but even manga artist Takehiko Inoue and former Square employees—and throw in the Unreal Engine 3, bake for a couple years, and what should you come out with? In theory, a revolutionary RPG. In practice? A "Final Fantasy" game for the Xbox 360. Which is, I think, okay in the end.

E3: No PS3 price cut or 80GB PS3 for PAL territories (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6173987.html?part=rss&tag=gs_news&subj=6173987)

[Shirosaki]

LMAO!
that price drop was for nothing
the ps3 is forever 599!

[Zale]

Metroid Prime 3 looks awesome.... but its ashame that they wont show any SSB brawl. it would make it the best E3 ever :(

[Sola]

I think its FFII remake for PSP.

[SBJ220]

The top three I'm looking forward to right now are Mass Effect, Heavenly Sword, and Final Fantasy XIII.

Yeah I was disappointed in the lack of updates on XIII and Heavenly Sword >_<

[Byakuya]

I haven't actually played any Postal games but yeah I've heard they're similar to Grand Theft Auto in a way.

Here's the description of Postal 3;

Postal III is said to feature different "murderer lifestyles", including serial killer, eco-terrorist, and presidential candidate. It will also continue and expand upon Postal²'s open world design. It will include motion-captured performances by a wide array of celebrities, including film stars and Playboy Playmates.
