Reno pretty much summed it up, but I saw nothing on Sega's new arcade hardware, and nothing on XBox port of VF4, sorry.

Well, I didn't expect you to see anything on VF, just wondered if anyone who might've known anything was talking about it happening/not happening.

I didn't see Legend of Dragoon 2, but Eidos is making Legend of Legaia 2 and it actually looks a lot better than the first.

LoL didn't do much for me, but for some reason I loved LoD to death. The only reason I even think it exists is a Quartermann rumour, but since the first made it to Greatest Hits (although I think that was just so Sony could recoup their money and build an rpg franchise that can't run off to another console) I have hope. Supposedly it's out at the end of this year in Japan, so maybe TGS'll have something for me.

Outside of GBA stuff, I'm afraid shmups are a dying breed (again). Treasure was AWOL... :mad:

I guess Capcom's given up on their shooter experiment. Anyway, thanks for the replies, guys.

Didn't think so. I begged. I pleaded. Did anyone care?

Thanks alot folks. :P You're real pals. :(.

Oh he of little faith. Worry not, for RedTerrier has a capcom booklet for you somewhere...just let me dig it up. Actually, it was quite crap-tacular, just a little pamphlet that had a few screens and some capcom propaganda, hardly worth the effort to read it. He-Man had a tiny (and I mean GBA sized) screen running the GBA version of the game, and they had a short but un-informative video running of the new Masters of the Universe game, with no in-game screens to boot. Sorry adol, not much going on for the strongest man in the universe...

Hm. Perhaps I can get ahold of a press kit for him to google at. :)

TDK, not Capcom..it was just a folder...and a CD. boooo.

Reno, whomever, please... how was Legends of Wrestling for XBox and GameCube? What about LOW2?

Riisuke should be answering this...I played it, but I was too busy staring at the female demo tester's...um assets. <font face="century gothic">^^;;</font>

Final world: get it for Xbox.

Official word on Shin Megami Tensei Nine from Atlus: No official plans, the possibility has not been ruled out. Translation: "I don't know yet" :)

I have a question for Red Terrier:

Why do you look like Gilbert Godfried in my picture? Why?

Here is a question for anybody that went to E3:

When E3 starts we are super excited. Towards the end of the first day though, we dream of laying down in the hotel. The next morning we are excited again, then dream of the hotel bed towards the end of the second day even more. By end of the third day, we all start thinking "its just a trade show, I thought it would be better and such". Yet, as soon as we get back home we wish we were still there. Why? When I'm at E3 I'm tired and thinking "meh". But as soon as I'm NOT at E3 it sinks in how awesome it is/was. What gives?

Is it all the walking and bull we had to deal with? It must have been...

I'll tell ya why you miss it: because you can't hang out with me, Gilbert Godfrey, that's why!!! :cool:

I think once the initial shock of how many games are staring back at you wears off, then you settle back into reality of how tired you are from jet lag, the lack of food, and even how a nice air conditioned hotel would make you feel better...looking back on it, you realized that E3 was the biggest, baddest, most kick-@$$ arcade you've ever seen, and it was all FREE. You also realize that being surrounded by gamers is kinda cool (yet smelly), and meeting denizens of a message board is also neat.
I think the things I will miss most about E3:

1- Booth babes. Hot girls playing games with you....everything I thought it would be. *tear* :sweat:

2- Hanging out with Master, Werewolf, Lucas, et al. We need to get together and wreak havoc somewhere...

3- Finally meeting some of my colleagues. Burgundy was like my long-lost brother, hopefully we both end up as successful as we should be...

4- All the games I ever wanted to play, all free, all day. 'Nuff said.

Btw, you must get a pic of what i really look like on your thread, I can't believe that's the one you posted....:mad:

If ya check the earlier threads, Red touches on this. But here's a statement taken from his impressions... :)

I have issues with the control (there's no pitch control, you can't aim up or down while moving), but barring that I think this is one of the prettiest FPS on any console. Mixing the look and abilities of a 2D game into a FPS is not the easiest thing to do, but Metroid has it just about right. Samus can still roll into a ball and has the standard arsenal of weapons, and the levels and enemies are pure Metroid fare.

---

It's basically a first-person adventure, it never actually shifts to 2D at all of course. There are aspects about it, which naturally give it a different feel..and don't feel quite as...well, smooth as the previous Metroid titles.

...so when you say the feel and look, well, that's always going to change a bit when you're comparing a 2D game to 3D. Like...take the SF titles in 2D and compare it to say...SF EX. Something was lost...sure it had the moves and in most respects, performs like a SF game, but...it's just not the same. Since this game has basically adopted a FPS format, Red's comments are definitely justified - the game should be designed so that Samus could aim up or down...while moving (like the original), and sadly you can't...thus this makes the "feel" substantially different (and prolly will make purists quite disappointed...like myself).

Nevertheless, Metroid Prime is a visually impressive title, the gameplay looks tight, and I recommend that all Metroid fans pick it up when it hits retail...
