Highlighting the ones potentially relevant to my interests. Personally, i'm not expecing any major bombshells this year, despite alla rumors. Nintendo said to expect something big, but i think at this point we've come to be happy with anything past wii resort from that. Sony will likely have some kinda firmware update, MS should have some things to talk about if the motion control rumors are true, and even if not, there's that game show thing ive been skimming. anyway.

 

Id personally like more on Ultimate Alliance 2, anything on Alan Wake to show me its not vaporware, not sure what im hoping for past that, mebbe a Katamari remake release date? I mean, if Team Ico's gonna talk, im thinking (again) its TGS, if at all. Hopefully, something good comes out of capcom's unannounced things. More on Batman: Arkham woudlnt be a bad thing either. id kill for a Red Dead demo as well.

 

Any hopes/bets? if Sony brings something more interesting than Mag, that'd be cool too.

alright, so id say MS owned so far, i hope sony & nintendo have some shit to match.

 

Project Natal alone has my interest - L4D 2 and other such titles aside, they're bringing facebook/twitter access (kinda cool), games on demand (digital distribution, here we come...), and on the lower end, uh, a place to buy more shit for your avatars. Still, way more than i expected here - looks like that rumor of a Minority Report-esque op wasnt unfounded.

 

Awesome event so far, though. any megatons left? the MGS games likely PSP (....), and id say delays on God of War 3 and the next Gran Turismo should be expected.

I still say smart money's on nintendo's "we need space shelf this holiday season" being Wii Fit +. Hope im wrong.

 

wait, did i read that right? games on access will be priced to match retail? nevermind, that sucks.

sneak peeks at nintendo booths:

Sin & Punishment 2 is nothing but good. behind the curtains, though? NEW MARIO SOMETHING IMMINENT.

 

meanwhile, rumors have Sony prepping The Wand, which'd have all 3 with motion control devices, for better or worse. also, Home's supposed to be down right now (?), might be getting revamped for the show?

...whoah, so apparently Nintendo just dropped Mario Galaxy 2. that's a pretty big one to have kept hidden, well done people! Super Yoshi Galaxy it is.

 

...and a new Wii Metroid, somehow by Team Ninja? WTF?!

Nintendo will be teaming up with the remains of Tecmo's Team Ninja to bring us an all-new Metroid title: Metroid Other M.

 

Due in 2010, the game looks a blend of first and third-person gameplay (clip showed much more third than first-person), with shooting sequences mixed with old-fashioned Metroid platforming.

 

The game also features some shiny anime cutscenes, giving the series a somewhat fresher, newer look.

totally missed Sony's bit on The Wand, any impressions? did it look rushed to try to show up Natal, or how many memes should i expect to come from this?

GAF is calling it lady gaga's dildo, so that's never a good start

ah, we didnt speak of the Wii Vitality Sensor yet. heh.

 

ok, so they uh, theyre releasing a pulse oximeter to attach to the wiimote. im guessing this is all about Wii Health or some other app, but it was suggested elsewhere that woudlnt it be so cool if you had to use it playing Fatal Frame and keep your heartrate low and fuck some things cant be made cool.

Unlike MS Project Natal Sony had a live tech demo to showcase the wand.

gonna have to watch those later. what was your take on em, newt?

 

here's what i got on it so far:

 

sony_motion-sensitive_controller_pa.jpg

 

- No delay in movement

- Detects precision on a sub-millimeter accuracy

- Uses the current PS Eye

- 3D Volume space, True 1:1 3D

- Works today, extensive set of tech demonstrations showcased

- Spring 2010 launch targeted

 

also, internet consensus seems to be:

...any disagreements? personally, i thought Nintendo did 100% better than last year. 2 Marios, Ninja-Metroid, Sin & Punishment 2, Monkey Island on wiiware, and shiggy bothered to insist he wanted Zelda shown next year? Pikmin 3 aside, most things i sought got acknowledged.

 

Sony showed me more on team ICO's works and a Heavy Rain trailer. i want dates, but im sated. new FF (...), and that MGS is looking sweet.

Still salty Rockstar coudlnt show up with Red Dead Redemption, but most of what ive been looking for got addressed.

i wonder who we got left for the show?

fanboy much?

 

My problem isn't with the fact that the shield is on the left arm.

 

More like the fact that they are going to force people to play the game like twilight princess and I wouldn't put it pass Nintendo to force the use of the Wii motion plus.

if it was motion plus, why would you complain? its nearly 3 years in, i thin most of us have to accept theyre gonna design games around the hardware theyve developed.

 

I really want to buy an add-on to play a game that never had a need for it in the first place.

well...1:1 for a sword game could be awesome, and honestly, if shooting a bow & arrow from horseback in TP didnt feel more like a suggestion to me, i think idve really enjoyed that. i guess we'll know more when details crop up next year or whenever, but you know where i stand, i hope it feels more like WW than TP, personally.

Now if I can use the classic controller then I will buy it.

 

Then I will campaign vigorously to Nintendo that they make it only compadible with 1:1 motion plus. I will create thousands of email addresses and go to internet cafes around the world and send individually crafted emails sent from unique IP addresses DEMANDING that a classic controller configuration NOT be integrated into the game, that Link only swing his sword as hard as you swing the wiimote. Then, I will have fun pretending I'm killing things in Hyrule, and you can have fun hating the world on the internetz.

was a helluva show this year. still gotta finish sony's videos on their new wand thing, but nintendo had surprises, and its hard not to say MS took it this year - though everybody actually showed up & showed shit, which was way more important.

The only thing that made me freak out was Tales of Monkey Island. Not the WiiWare remake of SMI (fuck the WiiWare remake of SMI).....but Monkey Island Fucking 5!

 

It's actually happening. With the blessing of Gilbert! BARBAIFNBSDNKASDFNKSADFNK

 

 

Ok, I'm done.
