E3 2011: Wishes, Expectations, Surprises, and Disappointments

Is TNL Chat still up for the press conferences? It's always a good time sharing the misery.

There will be Darksiders 2 info at E3. They've already started leaking some info and it will apparently be the July cover story for Game Informer. You will be playing Death in part 2 and it will take place at the same time as the first game. I was hoping to see things pick up right where they left off with that first ending but what I've read so far sounds really good.

See also that same information in the game's thread five spots below this thread.

I just left there, thanks for the crumb trail though.

As soon as I saw that info I came to TNL to post it in the E3 thread because it was on my want list. I didn't think for a second this game would have had its own thread unless myself or Nash made it.

I try to make threads if I think others will be interested. I just consider it sharing news, rather than interest.

Konami's low risk. There'll be at least one new Castlevania and more on MGS Rising and SH Downpour at a minimum. Hopefully Gradius and Contra show up too.

edit: Stream of thoughts incoming:

MGS: Snake Eater 3D - I don't like the gyroscope stuff. Dying because you tilt the system doesn't add immersion. I do like that they chose that sequel to remake because the jungle fits 3D. And Yoshi's in it!
PES 2012 - It's still soccer.
Neverdead - Looks perhaps even more odd than Shadows of the Damned. Nice use of MegaDeth. Horrid voice acting.
SH: Downpour - I like picking up stuff like chairs to use as weapons. It looks like the team "gets" the series, which is a huge compliment and key.
SH Collection - 2 & 3 in HD. 4 is officially disowned.
SH: Book of Memories - Coming to PS Vita in 2012.
MGS: HD Collection (11/2011) with "Transfarring" - MGS Peacewalker saves tranfer from PSP/PSV to PS3 and back. Also MGS2 and 3. Transfarring will be enabled for "all" new PS3 games with the PS Vita.
ZOE: HD Collection - Coming in 2012
MGS: Rising - Nothing new apaprently
Fox Engine - Being developed for new Kojima game for multiplatform ease

Where the fuck are Castlevania, Contra, and Gradius, i.e. what matters? They better be in the hardware makers' presentations.

edit2: Apparently there's a Contra "C" near the end after I clicked it off, but that's it. GAY!
