MESSAGE:
Okay, Pyro gets credit for this idea. He suggested to start-up a BIG E3 2010 thread - and we post ANYTHING from E3 2010 here. So, that includes gameplay vids, trailers, info, Booth Babe pics, whatever we find. You find something you like from E3 2010 - post it here in a reply! And you are to discuss what awesome games YOU are interested in seeing here at E3 2010, as well.

I will copy all your awesome links y'all post in replies to the VERY top of this thread, in the new and improved MyD fashion of posting.

[Quemaqua]

Awesome... I don't keep up with E3 news anymore because I don't read major sites, so this will be good for me.

First news: Natal is renamed Kinect

Games:

•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

•WiiKinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

•Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points.

•Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home.

•Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

[sirean_syan]

Well, at least they didn't give it a stupid name that spells a normal world in a "clever" way.

[idolminds]

MS press conference is starting. This is from the Wire live blog..

10:30 AM — Music pumping from the PA! Lights blaring! This is like riding Space Mountain! I’m pumped up! For marketing!

10:31 AM — Lights go down. Sizzle reel begins. It’s a trailer for a military videogame. What is it? Men jump out of helicopters! They shoot things! I have never played a videogame like this ever! Is this the future of humanity?

10:32 AM — No, it’s Call of Duty: Black Ops.

[Cobra951]

 

[idolminds]

Kojima was there showing Metal Gears Solid: Rising. Apparently there was a lot of cutting and spine removal.

Well, that was dull. CoD and Halo, then some MGS which sounded cool. The rest was all about Kinect and all the Wii-clone games it'll have (and no mention of price...it won't be good, I'm sure). Oh, and 360 slim. 250GB HDD, built in wifi, for $299. And they pulled an Oprah and everyone at the conference gets one.



Boring. Oh yeah, and no mention of any PC stuff. Way to go, MS.

[K-man]

Provided reviews are favorable, It's probably time to consider trading ol' whitey toward one of those slims.  Doesn't look like the HD's are interchangeable, which kind of sucks.

[idolminds]

EAs conference is coming up next. Mirrors Edge 2, its all I ask....please....

EAs twitter account says there will be Bulletstorm footage. Its already a better conference than MS.

3D glasses were handed out. Great...

edit

Haha, wow. Look at this.

[K-man]

facepalm.gif

I mean come on.  One of the richest companies in the world and we can't get any more original than that?

[Pugnate]

As blatant as that seems, it isn't unexpected.

[MysterD]

Idol might like this one...

[idolminds]

EAs conference is doing much better. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit being made by Criterion. Then they showed some Dead Space 2 (with more to be shown at Sonys conference...Move support?), and now some Medal of Honor that is apparently modern day and not WW2. Demoing 24 player multi with all 24 players on stage. The cynic in me is amazed people are...amazed at 24 players. We were doing that shit back in the Quake 2 days. Its not really that impressive, even if it is fun.

We knew MOH Reboot was modern day long ago.

So, is Hot Pursuit a remake? A reboot? Or what?

EDIT:
More info on NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010) - you'll be able to do a career mode and play as either a cop OR a racer. Cool.

[idolminds]

Cant wait for some of these trailers to go online. I want to see the NFS game and Bulletstorm.

Ubisofts conference is next up in an hour or two.

[idolminds]

Man, things are not looking good for Kinect. Gamestop had a preorder up for a short period of time with a price of $149, and now they say if you have a non-slim 360 you'll have to have another outlet to plug the thing in with. Slim 360s have a dedicated Kinect port.

[MysterD]

Yup, for Crysis 2.

Looks like Bulletstorm is due Feb. 22th, 2011.
Oh, this is what I'm talking about...

The title, coming for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, allows players to "do cool shit so you can unlock cool shit so you can do more cool shit," explains Epic producer Tanya Jessen.

Rock on, Tanya!

[idolminds]

Ubisofts show has been...interesting. Child of Eden is basically Rez with Kinect controls. Then they showed off the new Assassins Creed. And Shawn White Skateboarding is being described as "Jet Grind Radio meets Flower" which basically sounds fucking awesome. I'll have to see the video.

[MysterD]

Watching UbiSoft Conference. They showed a trailer for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier - now they are having it being demoed.

This looks like a stealthy and slow-paced, since you have a suit that can go invisible/cloak. Plus strategic, since you have a team w/ you - in typical Ghost Recon fashion.

Firefights look good, too - w/ duck and cover and all of that 3rd person shooter stuff.

It's gonna be in 3D, as well...

Man, the UbiSoft DRM really makes me a sad panda...

EDIT:
Driver: San Francisco is up next...
Driver: San Francisco will have SP and MP components.
You can switch to a viewpoint while playing to be behind the wheel when playing, as well.
Shift Mode in the game seems just....strange...

EDIT 2:
Nadeo's up w/ ManiaPlanet for the PC...
Okay, here's what they're up to.

Remember how Nadeo invented tools and people basically can create what maps and stuff they want for Trackmania?

Good...besides Trackmania 2 that's coming, they're ALSO gonna aim for different other genres w/ user-generated content for two other planned games: Shootmania (for FPS's) and QuestMania (for RPG's).

[idolminds]

ManiaPlanet? Fuck me, I want.

[MysterD]

ManiaPlanet? Fuck me, I want.

I think they're all separate games, as they all have different release dates...
But, yeah - I love the idea of this them going after different genres besides racing here...
Especially w/ QuestMania for RPG's...

[idolminds]

Oh, yeah...looks like individual games still. Well at least we know they arent dead. It feels like its been years since I first heard about Shoot/Questmania. Will be interesting to see what they end up being like.

Of course they will probably have Ubis shitty DRM so I'll never play them anyway. Still, will be neat to see.

Kind of funny that Ubisoft actually came out and showed some PC stuff even when they aren't exactly loved on PC now. They showed more than MS did.

[MysterD]

I'm really interested in seeing Shootmania and Questmania - I'm definitely a big FPS and RPG nut.

Kind of funny that Ubisoft actually came out and showed some PC stuff even when they aren't exactly loved on PC now. They showed more than MS did.

Ubi might have that nasty DRM, but they still seem to recognize that there are gamers on the PC who want their content there. I wouldn't be surprised if most are their sales have been through Steam, since EVEN w/ nasty DRM for games like SC: Conviction and AC2 on the PC, when those games were about to come out OR Steam has one of their bundle-sales, it sold well...

I'm watching G4TV - they just showed-off Witcher 2 PC. I want this.

[PyroMenace]

So umm.... anyone want to buy my 360?

[K-man]

So umm.... anyone want to buy my 360?

I wouldn't jump on the wagon just yet.  There's not yet a reason to believe these will be any more or less reliable than the current generation.

[Pugnate]

I am sure they will be sporting the current jasper chips which are quite successful. The only worry is if the smaller form factor will result in worse airflow, and as a result, a much higher system temperature.

Remember the PS2 slims? So prone to dying they were.

[Cobra951]

Well, the slims may sport further integration and even smaller chips, maybe 45 nm like the PS3 slim?

Found something.  I read a story like this one before, which is how I learned about this.  Yeah, the Jasper in a smaller enclosure would not be a good thing.

Edit:  Here's a new story on the slim.

Internal changes include: one large fan instead of two smaller ones, a 45nm chipset with integrated CPU and GPU, and integrated WiFi. These first two changes should lead to a system that runs significantly coolers [sic] and quieter.

[K-man]

My slim is still going like a champ.  Granted it hasn't seen much use in the past few years since I bought my PS3, and has since been delegated to living room status, but I turned it on the other day and it's running as it should.

[idolminds]

Nintendo is on. Started off showing a new Wii Zelda, but had issues playing it live. Might do better not playing it on a huge projector on a giant stage, you know? We'll see. Then a Mario Sports Mix which has basketball, volleyball, and hockey. A mario party-ish game with Miis...snore. A new Golden Sun game for DS. And now a Goldeneye remake....with Daniel Craig?

Epic Mickey. And apparently it looks really awesome.

Kirby! And it also apparently looks awesome. I read it described as Paper Mario but Cloth Kirby.

Metroid: Other M coming end of August.

Nintendo is kicking ass and they havent even shown the new system yet.

New Donkey Kong Country. Holy shit, Nintendo saved up everything for this year.

Here comes the 3DS...which appears to be the actual name. haha, a slider to adjust the 3D depth. 2 outward facing cameras to take 3D photos! Motion sensor & gyroscope, improved graphics. Backwards compatible with DS.

First game shown? Kid Icarus. I think Nintendo just won E3. People saying it looks as good as a Wii game. On a handheld.

Nintendogs and cats. Layton, Kingdom Hearts, Saints Row, DJ Hero, Madden, Reisdent Evil, Street Fighter, Assasins Creed, Metal Gear Solid all coming to 3DS...holy fuck.



Sony has to follow this? I feel sorry for them now.

No price or date set, sadly. Probably waiting to see if Sonly whips out a PSP2.

And now a bunch of hot booth babes with 3DS units chained to their waists are walking into the audience to give demos. My god...


I think thats it. Pretty impressive showing. I just got a kick out of people commenting on "Oh, so just rehashed titles. How about something new, Nintendo?" as if MS showing CoD, Halo, and a new Gears game plus a bunch of Wii knockoff games for their new motion controller was somehow totally innovative and refreshing.

[idolminds]

Sony is starting up.

3D! Its the future! As long as you buy a new HDTV and wear some special expensive glasses. Yeah. Showing Killzone 3 in 3D. Oh and it has Move support, of course. Yippie, I guess. Bunch more 3D games talked about. a Sly Cooper collection, GT5, Shawn White Skateboarding, etc.

PS2 is still the second most played console. Well....duh. Everyone has one and a shitload of games. Remember when the PS3 could play those, too? Wouldn't it be nice if it still did?

Here comes Move. Guess they are pushing precision with it.

Sorcery, third person action spell casting game being shown. People comparing it to Harry Potter. You cast spells by moving your hands around. Hey, at least its not sports.

Oh wait, here comes sports... Tiger Woods Golf! haha, best twitter comment: "The 1:1 tracking with the Move is useful for signing the divorce papers in Tiger Woods '11"

Heroes on the Move featuring Sony Heroes, Ratchet, Clank, Jack, Sly and more. All in one game.

Coca Cola teamed up with Sony for...something. I'm confused. Oh, advertising. Guess Coke is going to help promote Move. Okayyy...

Kevin Butler just gave a funny gaming speech that I'm sure will be transcribed and on youtube in a little bit. Funny but...Sony, games plz.

Move aint cheap.
$99.99 - starter kit for first player
$49.99 - Second controller
$29.99 - Second nunchuck

$179.97 for two players to be fully Move-equipped. Though you need to add another $30 for the other nunchuck for player 1! $210 for 2 players.

Aww man, I was about to write it off until they mentioned Time Crisis...

Oh hey, did you hear Sony makes this thing called a PSP? Showing a new God of War game for it. And Invisimals. I think that was the game that needed the PSP camera. Are they finally going to release that here? 70 new PSP games by December. Gravity Crash portable...that could be cool. Patapon 3!

Heh, Sony recreated their E3 booth in Playstation Home. Thats kind of cool.

LittleBigPlanet 2! You know, this would have been really amazing if they hadn't announced it a couple weeks ago.

Playstation Plus announced. Current PSN stays free, but here comes the premium subscription side. $50 a year gets you special demo and beta access, free games, auto downloads, etc.

Medal of Honor. Now with unlockable beards! Limited Edition with copy of remastered MOH:Frontline exclusive for PS3.

Dead Space 2 being shown, a continuation of the demo showed yesterday. Limited edition Dead Space 2 exclusive to Playstation 3 with Dead Space Extraction.

Gabe Newell? So Valve actually gives a shit about PS3 now? Uh...Steamcloud on PS3? WTF. Showinf off Portal 2. Looks like you can earn Steam achievements and use Steamcloud in the PS3 version. Wonder if the saves work cross-platform.

Final Fantasy XIV, the MMO.

God damn this is a long conference.

Gran Turismo 5 looking good. Holy shit a release date! Nov 2nd...of this year!

Infamous 2

Damn, Sony stepped it up. Twisted Metal!

Ok, shows over...finally. That was like 2 hours long.

[K-man]

Metroid Other M is going to be badass.

[MysterD]

Sony showed off Gran Tursimo 5, which'll be in 3D.
Now....showing InFamous 2.

EDIT:
NEW Twisted Metal being announced by Jaffe.

[K-man]

The extras that come with the PS3 plus or whatever are only active as long as you're actively subscribed.  Meaning if you subscribe and download Wipeout HD, once your subscription lapses it goes away.

So...what's the reason to pay?  a week or to access to betas?

Meh.

[Pugnate]

I bought a PS2 slim for myself, and once one for my cousin's kid, and both had hardware issues. Maybe it was bad luck, but I read it had a higher fail rate than its fatter brother.

Cobra, what you've posted is pretty promising. Had my falcon crashed now instead of last year, I would have been able to get the new 360. Still, not a huge loss. My brother likes how the new 360 looks, but it just looks weird to me.

The strangest thing is how it looks so different from the fatter 360. The PS3 slim looks different enough, but can still be identified as a sleeker version of the fatter PS3. This slim 360 just looks very different, at least to me.

Idol, you and D are doing a better job of keeping us up to date than IGN or Kotaku. Seriously.

[idolminds]

Anyone interested in Nintendos stuff, be sure to hit their E3 site! Link takes you to the 3DS page where you can see screens for a bunch of games. Looks good. On the top you can select other systems and see the rest.

Dead of Alive 3D for 3DS...boobies!

[MysterD]

Gabe Newell? So Valve actually gives a shit about PS3 now? Uh...Steamcloud on PS3? WTF. Showinf off Portal 2. Looks like you can earn Steam achievements and use Steamcloud in the PS3 version. Wonder if the saves work cross-platform.

Of course Gabe cares. Gabe's trying to have Steam TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

Steam support for PS3 = BIG DEAL. Could you imagine if say PC, Mac and PS3 versions of say the same game support X-Play over Steam? 
 
That'd be freaking amazing...and a big punch in Microsoft's face w/ the horrible execution of X-Play with XBLive/G4WL w/ the few games that actually support it (Shadowrun and Lost Planet: Colonies Edition are two I can think of that support it.).

EDIT:

Idol, you and D are doing a better job of keeping us up to date than IGN or Kotaku. Seriously.

I appreciate that Pug - thanks.

And hell yeah - Idol totally rocked w/ all his awesome Nintendo, Sony, and UbiSoft coverage.

[idolminds]

Oh my god, that Kirby game is the definition of cute.

Oh, any thanks guys. My reporting skills are just a combination of having no life and quickly reading twitter feeds as they scroll past. It would be better if I could actually stream the conferences myself.

[MysterD]

Right now on G4TV, they showing off Dead Rising 2.

EDIT:
Lead character walked into a store w/ clothes, put on female clothing w/ short-shorts and beat the shit out of zombies w/ bats. WTF? 

[Pugnate]

You can link this up top if you like. It is PC Gamer's E3 page:

For those watching G4TV, Bulletstorm will be coming up soon...
EDIT:
Bulletstorm's on now on G4TV.
