E3 2k4

I'm most interested in:

Playable Burnout 3
Playable Doom 3
Playable Call of Cthulhu
Any information about Metroid Prime 2
Any concrete information about the supposed Ico sequel

I will also be surprised if Halo 2 makes it out this year.

You know whats scary? When Bahn says "this is going to be the best of ther best of E3." That means he knows something and that scares me. I'll take his word for it and believe that this is E3 will have surprises GALORE! Don't know why and I usually don't listen to hype, but when Bahn speaks about something and has a hint of ..."I know something you don't know ... nah nii nah nii pooh pooh." on it. Thats something to take notice and heed.

Working Designs will be absent for a second consecutive year:

...Mastiff and Nippon Ichi USA, too, for that matter... but all the bigger names plus many others are there.

excellent, EXCELLELENT point! It's either that or we're just getting too old. I went to my first one in 1996 and was floored by the all the exciting games coming out that year. Went again in 1999 and was even more excited by what I saw! The experience of e3 has just gotten stale to me since these days, there aren't hardly any games I am interested in playing. One thing I *will* say about e3 however....

It is the absolute MECCA of gorgeous asian girls! I mean, there are LITERALLY hundreds of them walking around the show floor! It's a sight to behold!! I have been to import auto shows, rap and rock concerts, numerous clubs, etc...and never in my life have I seen so many beautiful asian woman all in one place! Sony's booth in particular had the most gorgeous asian girl I've ever seen in my life working for them the last time I went(2001).

As for speculation, I speculate I will be let down by Namco in hopes of seeing a new Ridge Racer game announced, let alone shown. :cry:

They're supposedly making one for the PSP.

Well there have been rumors of Wind Waker 2 coming out this year, so I expect that to be shown. I also really really hope something about a Mario 128 is shown or mentioned, anything! I like many am really interested in finally knowing more about the DS. I am mainly interested in Nintendo news. I am also hoping GTA: San Andreas is shown (it should be). I could care less about the PSP, and I doubt Microsoft will have any amazing news, other than something about Halo 2.

I'm gonna feel so jaded fro saying this:

I'm not excited about e3. Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of games. Yeah, there's gonna be announcements. But it's also a lot of work. So while it's fun to have fun, I'm not jumping up and down months in advance for the show. I know I'll have a good time when I'm there, and do my best to be a productive member for the site.

That, and it's too hard to be euphoric when you have finals the next week.

I'm excited as hell to be going this year but that's only because it's my first time. I really want to see Def Jam 2, an Ultimate Muscle sequel and the next Smackdown game (I just started playing the last one and I love it), plus the givens (halo 2, DS, PSP, etc..).
