  • Less than 2 weeks until E3!

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Anyone looking forward to major announcements and insanity? Or will this year's show be a bore! >_<

This E3 is going to be really interesting. Sony for PS3 info, Nintendo for Wii secrets (or watching a car crash, we'll see) and Microsoft for what - if anything - they'll have to counter the pre-launch interest in the other two.

Sony's PS3 info is often less than reliable. Last year it was almost universally agreed that their presentation consisted of heavy sales-spin, if not outright lies...

They ought to have something more substantial to show this year, but still, take it with a grain of salt.

I can't see anything interesting about this years show.

It'll be interesting to see how people react to the Wii. I've stated all along that I'm not so sure that what they're trying to do will work and it's all dependant on people actually trying the system. E3 will be the first time the masses will actually be able to play with it and it'll be interesting to see if they care.

If I don't hear a price-point from Sony, I'd be concerned. There's basically no reason for them not to unless they know it's not going to help. Anything over $399 hurts them, so if we don't hear a price, you know it's going to be over that. Either that or they're realize that have to just eat it and put it at that price anyways. That and the controller, which no one's even seen since the original photos. I wonder if they decided, like everyone else, that the Batarang was stupid.

Microshaft should be announcing something to combat Sony (Nintendo isn't really on their radar), so that'll be interesting as well. They'll have the free Xbox Live Gold weekend the weekend of the 12th and I think that they'll have to eventually have it free, period, once Sony and Nintendo come out with their free online gaming. That might be their big announcement now, who knows. But they make a ton of money and Live is such a huge success that they'll only do it if they have to IMO.

Are you kidding? The new improved Crytech engine and the NOT SO SEQUEAL sequeal to FarCry.

Not only that anything on Vista and PC hardware will be sweet.
