So what is everyone expecting/hoping to see at E3?

I hope to see a ton of innovation from Nintendo. I think the only game they've released for the GC that has had that is Zelda. The other games are really good but are missing that magic. I would also like to see more 3rd party support for Nintendo. I also want to know what the hell happened to that attachable screen that was supposed to come out from Panasonic for the GC.

I would love to see a shitload of XBOX live games. Every genre should be represented. I never thought I would have given a shit about online games but I'm officially hooked.

I just want to see something on the PS2 that I really want. I haven't really bought shit for my PS2 in ages. Hopefully Castlevania will turn out better then Contra did(although Contra was good).

I don't really care to hear about any new hardware from the big 3(unless it is like the Gameboy player). I would love to see a TON of great software,both sequels and new ideas for all 3 platforms.

So what are you guys expecting?

I can't usually be bothered by the trite shovelware that proliferates and clogs American release charts and is showcased at the likes of E3. What I'm hoping for at E3 will most definitely not be there. That's why I never go. There's plenty of strip clubs around where phony paid hourly chicks can rub up against me and smile like they mean it and I can find slow moving, irritating crowds right here in Seattle every weekend. No need to spend money flying to another city to fight my way through a smelly sweaty throng to see piss poor games demonstrated and talk about "that chick at the Capcom booth with the fake titties actually smiled at me... I think she's sprung yo!"

Have fun!

"Skinny Broads Must Go!"

Words of wisdom, truly. Like I said, what I'm hoping for at E3 is not going to be there.

A 2.5D Castlevania game. :cool:

Xbox needs to expand what it's doing with XBL, it's got the best potential of the online consoles we've seen so far.

Sony needs to do something killer with one of the many franchises they established during the PSOne generation. A new Metal Gear announcement, show off FFX-2, things along those lines would make the Sony fanbase happy. They'd also do well to start dropping some realistic hints about what they really think the PS3 can do now that The Cell chip looks doubtful to drive the system.

Nintendo needs to give Shigeru Miyamoto his own development team that he can take personal responsibility for. The first-party games they're cranking out just aren't up to snuff anymore, so the least they could do is guarantee themselves one triple-A title every two years.
Oh, and they'd make us all happy to see a new Mario Kart.

Bad childhood? :confused:

Mr_Furious

I've been to every E3 so far and I'll tell you what to expect. Nothing. Expect nothing and enjoy the surprises or have expectations just to be disappointed. That's what I've learned.

E3 is more fun with zero expectations :)
20 Apr 2003, 05:39 PM

Hopefully some juciy info, shots, video or a playable demo of Prince of Persia.

And maybe some of that Castlevania stuff, but whatever.
20 Apr 2003, 05:44 PM

My preferences and opinions were formed through the help of a spectacular childhood! As a matter of fact I'd like to thank my mom right now for being so real. The mystique of things like E3 wore off many years ago when I was owning me own skateboard/snowboard shop. I really can't give a rat's ass for trade shows. I was always able to get more business and fine women done at home. And I really dislike the current state of American gaming. If some of the games I'm interested in come out that'll be great but I don't need to wait in line to fly on a plane to go to LA to wait in line to (maybe) play Viewtiful Joe.

It's just me and my preferences/opinions. No need for alarm.

Sorry if you misunderstood me. Most people here only wish they could go(myself included). I meant it for everyone. I wasn't even taking into account that people here were actually going. I guess I should have said what do they expect to read about.
20 Apr 2003, 06:20 PM
Diff-chan

PaCrappa's right... Im not going either, and Im a free bus ride away. And its not a matter of not having the credentials - I do, I just cant be bothered.

I went in 2000, and I learned a few short weeks after that what goes on at E3 hardly matters to the industry. My favorite game of the show was Vampire The Masquerade, but when I bought it it was just complete pants. Within three months, or even two, or fuck maybe one, people just forget about it and it goes back to the usual cycle of "Check out the scores in EGM", "Just heard about this new game", etc.

I'm going to E3 primarily to see people I otherwise only talk to online, hang out in the videogame geekiest place on the planet, get free crap, and just have fun. I don't expect to be disappointed.

I've only been once, three years ago, but had a good time and found a nice chunk of stuff that didn't get the front page of IGN/Gamespot. I expect this year to be just as entertaining.

Oh, and Unity. :)

I had a chance to go this year, but it'd be too costly to go. Eh, maybe next year.

I would be mildly excited to see some of the new games/demo. But since I don't (and won't) have a press pass, I'm just looking forward to meeting some of you fellow TNLers. It'll be just like going to E3 -- a few big surprises, a few big disappointments, and lot of what I'd expect.

As always I cant go personally :(, but I'm hoping someone will tape all the good stuff, so TNL people who cant go, at least can see some of the exciting stuff this year.
20 Apr 2003, 08:31 PM

Steel Battalion 2/Live, and a new Castlevania, or maybe Rez 2, yah right.

Edit: Shenmue 3 would be nice as well, but that will never happen.

Konami- I'd like to see how the Castlevania, TMNT, Metal gear Solid 3 games are shaping up as well as that Gradius game developed by treasure. I'd love to see a Contra 2 game too since I loved Shattered Soldier.

Nintendo- The usual stuff. Sequels like Metroid Prime 2, Mario 128 or whatever its called, Mario Kart GC, Too Human and 1080 which I hope is improved based on what I saw. I'm hoping they just bring out a new franchise as well, maybe a RPG. Another wishlist game I hope makes an appearance is Waverace Blue Storm 2.

Capcom- I'd like to see more on RE4 like those shadow type mist creatures in that trailer and what they have to do with Leon, Devil May Cry 3 hopefully done by the same team as part 1(and taking a page from the cool stuff in 2), Maximo 2: Army of Zinn and more coverage on Dead Phoenix, Killer 7, Viewtiful Joe and P.N. 07 I guess.

Sega- Shinobi 2(notice alot of 2's heh), Skies of Arcadia 2, Sonic Adventure 3, Super Monkey Ball 3, maybe a Jet Set game on Gamecube but that's highly doubtful. I'd also like to see some new stuff from them.

EA- Mostly the EA big stuff. I'm really jonesing for SSX 3 but that doesn't seem to have a high priority from what I've read, maybe because of NBA Street vol 2. I'm still wishing for a Beetle Adventure Racing game done Big style and taking cues from Paradigm's stuff.

Other than these I don't really see that much to look forward to seeing. I have more than enough games as it is to play through.

I'm really wanting to see one of the first parties absolutely steal the show, completely dominating the others with incredible games. More than likely, though, it'll end up with one game that everyone will hype through the roof. "OMFG@$#@ F*CK DREAMCAST...METAL GEAR SOLID 2 BABY!#@" :rolleyes:

Earlier? Actually it used to always fall around the week of the 10, or as late as the 15, but it's definitely not earlier. Last year however, it was, for some hokey reason (fiscal stuff, or whateva). anyways, it also conflicted with ECC and a lot of people didn't show up to E3 or vice-versa. Hella problematic. :mad:
