Here are some thoughts and comments on a few of them:

10. Athens Summer Olympics
Nice to see that this might be released in the US, especially since it's the only officially licensed Olympics game this year. :)

11. ATV Offroad Fury 3
Whoa, they're doing a third one! :D Rainbow Studios (developers of the first two games in this series) isn't involved with this one; hopefully Climax (developers of both of THQ's Moto GP games for X-Box) will deliver a worthy follow up.

13. Formula 1 2005
Cool. Now bring out WRC 3 or (perhaps better yet) WRC 4 over here. :cool:

15. Rise of the Kisai
Rumor is that this is the sequel to The Mark of Kri. If so, then this ought to be really good.

17. NHL Hockey 2005
This is Sony's hockey game. Their hockey series has traditionally been called NHL FaceOff.

26. Battlefield 1942
This is probably Battlefield: Modern Combat, which was announced for PS2 a few days ago.

30. Champions: Return To Arms
Want to know what this is? Here's the game logo:
http://e3.playstation.com/images/gam..._Champions.jpg
Yes, this is the follow-up to the excellent Champions of Norrath! Recognize! :D There are already some juicy screen shots posted--visit the game page to see them!

38. EA Sports Lineup
They've condensed the entire EA Sports lineup into a single page? I'm not sure about that. Hopefully, each game will have its own individual page soon. The already rich online feature set might be pumped up even more for this year.

33. Combat Elite: WWII Paratroopers
This is actually an overhead-view game, using a version of the engine Snowblind Studios created for Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath, but in a World War II setting. This could be very promising.

39. Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone
Nice looking D&D-licensed action-RPG from Atari and Stormfront Studios (developers of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers). Looks like entry #64 is a repeat of this one.

51. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
The page lists several features that are exclusive to the PlayStation 2 and GameCube versions of this game. Yes, you read that right. It's funny that Sony's site would have information on the GameCube version, but there you go. :lol:

71. Street Fighter® Anniversary Collection
This is Hyper Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III: Third Strike combined into a single package--oh, yeah!

74. Viewtiful Joe
87. Viewtiful Joe 2
These two games were officially announced a few days ago. I'm definitely looking forward to them!

Everthing in the PS2 version of Pandora Tomorrow could be offered through Live, and since the game supports DL content, I'd be surprised not to see it.

I am stoked about a sequel to Champions of Norrath.

The game offers more than 75 hours of gameplay per character, unlimited battles, deadly missions and the ability to import characters from the original game.

---

Oh hell yes!

theres about 6 - 7 games on that list im really excited about and i hope that rumor is true I loved the art style in Mark of Kri and would love to see a sequel to it

Wonder what Destroy All Humans is about?

Driver.
GT4.
BO3.
DC3.
MGS3.
FM4.

I'm interested to get new information on those during E3.

It's cute how they are still pretending that Star Ocean:TTEoT is coming out over here.

It's cute how I think I'll actually get around to playing through Star Ocean 1 and 2 in order to play 3.

Damn, I thought I could resist the lure of E3 this year. I already sabotaged my pass 'cause I thought I might be forced to work it. Now to see about getting another one... Crowds, parking headaches, blistered feet be damned. I'm too curious about some of these, not to mention Nintendo's always-exciting booth (to me anyway).

I guess Gradius V will be at the Konami booth only.

Dark Cloud 3
Burnout 3
Star Ocean 3
Nightmare Before Christmas
Under the Skin- http://ps2.ign.com/objects/664/66473...?ui=gamefinder
Unity, hopefully

And dozens of unannounced gems. Can't wait. :)

James

I'm interested in Dark Cloud 2, and Viewtiful Joe 2... but i'll probably buy that on Cube anyway.

I wonder if the developer listing on that page is just a major misinformation typo.... hmmmm.

Almost my list :p Plus bunch of more that I am too lazy to list :p

This list looks very solid. I will disregard some of the games that are multiplatform, but overall. Pretty good.

*sigh* I wonder if it's still possible to try and make it out for this, I live in Vegas now for pete's sake.

Securing a pass a problem tho, mebbe I should've gotten a one-day-a week job at Gamestop or something :(

FFXII and Viewtiful Joe 2 will have my attention.

A very good lineup.

Has anyone played the Japanese version of way of the samurai 2? I'm glad capcom picked it up.

There are just a handful I'm even interested in there, and they're all old news, except for Shin Megaten - now that's a pleasant suprise! I gave up on it a year ago.

Although, I think this deserves honourable mention:

Playboy: The Mansion blends state-of-the-art social simulation with traditional role-playing and empire-building gameplay. As Hugh Hefner, you build the Playboy mansion and magazine into a dynamic cultural icon and powerful brand. Rub shoulders with stunning women and stimulating celebrities as you pursue the ultimate Playboy lifestyle. Grow famous and gain exclusive access to the Playboy Archives, including footage of the world-famous Playboy Mansion.

Construct the Mansion - The Playboy lifestyle begins at home. Will your home be a stately manor built for entertaining or a gadget lover's paradise? As your fame and wealth increase you'll be able to add tennis courts, game houses, aviaries, even the world-famous Grotto to your estate. Just make sure to build enough bedrooms for your girlfriends.

Live the Playboy Lifestyle - What use is a stylish pad if you can't share it with hundreds of celebrity friends? Spend the afternoon poolside with a bevy of beautiful women, and then change into your finest pajamas for an evening of decadent dancing with chart toppers, industry moguls and all-star athletes. Will you watch a movie in the Theatre Room or the Playmates on the trampoline? Life can be so cruel.

Build Your Empire - Fame and fortune don't come easy. Manage a crack editorial staff, hustle celebrity interviews and mold the magazine in response to a fickle market. Are readers suddenly interested in sports? Maybe it's time to host a tennis tournament and schmooze Boris McEngroe. And remember, people don't just read Playboy for the articles. Each month you'll invite women to stay at the Mansion, manage their Playmate training and oversee their sexy photo-shoots.


Key Features:

A fully 3D environment with a dynamic, zoomable camera. Zoom out and admire the majesty of each mansion area or zoom in and view the excitement up close.

Multiple Playboy estate areas, including the inside of the Mansion, Back Lawn, Pool and Grotto, Gym, Tennis Court, Aviary and Zoo, Game House and Garage.

Invite actors, athletes, authors, business executives, comedians, fashion designers, models, musicians, politicians, racecar drivers and scientists to your amazing parties.

Empire Mode - Select your own goals (fame, circulation, guests, etc) and then work over a series of months or years to achieve them.

Campaign Mode - A dozen campaigns that chronicle Hugh Hefner and the Playboy Mansion's rise to international fame.

The Playboy Philosophy - You're rewarded for living the good life, having a positive sexual attitude and promoting tolerance and individual freedom.

Porn Tycoon! Wicked!

If those games are in development, when are we going to see them if not at E3? Are they still in the very early stages?

Hmm..Theres some stuff Im interested in up there-

Gran Turismo 4 (I suck real bad at the series, but I'm getting this anyways)
Final Fantasy XII (The first FF to look interesting since 9)
KillZone (Im a sucker for FPS games)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Though Im scared of the drastically different gameplay, I'm still in it for the story)
Athens Summer Olympics (Sounds interesting)
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (I have a Top Gun fetish ;_; )
Def Jam Vendetta II (The best wrestling game of this generation gets craaaazy!)
Phantom Brave (I'll buy it, play it for 20 minutes and then never play it again..Just like Disgaea!)
Mega Man Anniversary Collection (Just because)
Street Fighter® Anniversary Collection (Im too lazy to bring out my DC, and my rip of HSFII didn't work...so this is the best thing ever for me!)

4. Final Fantasy XII
8. Ratchet and Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal
12. Dark Cloud 3
19. Sly Cooper 2: Band of Thieves
48. Robotech Invasion
50. Silent Hill 4: The Room
71. Street Fighter® Anniversary Collection

My list. Street Fighter is probably the only one I'll be buying at full price. I'm glad that R&C: Going Commando will finally be pushed down to $20 within the next few months. :D

Just realized...it's kinda strange that Kingdom Hearts 2 is missing from that list.
