E3 News Impressions

[Sonic 296]

Apart form C&C3 at E3 what other games are you following?

 

As an Xbox 360 owner I wanted to get the latest news on Halo 3, a new teaser trailer was released in various formats. Here is the direct download link to a small/low res version of it. Cool video

 

While I was browsing the Xbox Live Marketplace I spotted the new Splinter Cell Double Agent HD trailer. Holy **** are the words that game to mind for this game. I can't wait for this one to hit stores in September. Watching the preview for this new Splinter Cell game makes it look nothing like the other 3, its in stark contrast to Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Sam Fisher looks tougher, meaner.... basically gone rogue as the name implies.... he's a double agent playing both sides now. Awesome new environments like snow and out in broad daylight in the jungle.

Simply put Splinter Cell Double Agent will be a must have game!!

All I care about is Spore, C&C 3, and BF 2142. Even that I do like those games, I don't watch anything on E3, I don't mind getting the news from sites 3 days later.

I'm really keen on BioShock--it's a spiritual successor to Looking Glass Studios' System Shock series. Screenies available here.

I only 'follow' C&C, although I definately have an interest in the BF series, so Ill no doubt have a read up through some sites when E3s over. The other game thats piqued my interest is the return of Sam and Max!

Damm i like that halo 3 video. There have been rumors that Star Wars Battlefront 3 was going to be announced this year but i havent been able to find out if it has been or not.

All I care about is Spore, C&C 3, and BF 2142.

Exactly my thoughts, except that I eagerly anticipate Halo 3

Now Spore looks really... interesting. Does anyone know anything specific about it? :?

New Halo looks like the same Halo. Not too excited. I'm waiting for Nintendo's latest bullsit, the Wii, to hit shelves. I just might spend $200 that I was going to spend on Christmas presents on it.

[TheBlackOut 7]

Gah, I haven't bought a Nintendo console in SOOOO long, I think I am, just for the sake of playing Mario again! Please tell me Nintendo ditched the controller or at least gives you a second option... When is it suppose to be released? I've googled and surpising I've found very little...

 

Love the signature by the way Tree.

 

(Whats the deal with Nintendo and Sony?)

[Alphabear 11]

I did hear that they are planning on release a controler for the more conservative people. I say bugger them though the new controler looks interesting and its suposed to be some much easier with the new controler. People should try it before they call it stupid. I hate when people critisise things before they are released.

[Tree 0]

Nintendo is dying. We all know that. They're coming up with something weird and calling it "innovative". You know why other companies haven't followed suit? Because they have some sense. GameCube was a flop. I bought one because I thought it might be alright. But, it sucked.

[Alphabear 11]

no because other companies already had their controlers done. Why dont you give it a chance before you critizise it.

[Tree 0]

Everything is specualtion right now. I do plan on buying one. If it is any good, I'll retract my previous starements, but it just doesn't look like the "next big thing."

 

Mainly I'm buying one so that I can play all my SNES and NES favorites.

[Acerz492 1]

The Burning Crusade. I won't say anything more. I can't frikkin' wait.

We can play NES games on the Nintendo Wii? :?

[Tree 0]

Yeah, supposedly they will be downloadable.

[PolterGeist 0]

Halo 3 (Of Course, Halo and C&C are my two favorite franchises "SP") BF 2142, though i think Quake Wars is going to be better.

[TheBlackOut 7]

Yeah, supposedly they will be downloadable.

 

Sweet!

[F15pilotX 4]

Now Spore looks really... interesting. Does anyone know anything specific about it? :?

specific...you got it..here's a few things:

 

About SPORE

 

From the mind of Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, comes SPORE™, an epic journey that takes you from the origin and evolution of life through the development of civilization and technology and eventually all the way into the deepest reaches of outer space.

 

Tide Pool Phase

 

Fight with other creatures and consume them to adjust the form and abilities of your creature. It’s survival of the fittest at the most microscopic level.

 

Creature Phase

 

Venture onto land and help your creature learn and evolve with forays away from your nest. The only way to grow is by taking chances!

 

Tribal Phase

 

Instead of controlling an individual creature, you are now caring for an entire tribe. Give them tools and guide their interactions as you upgrade their state of existence.

 

City Phase

 

Bring your creatures’ race into a new golden era by building up the technology, architecture, and infrastructure of their city.

 

Civilization Phase

 

Once your city is established, your creatures begin seeking out and interacting with other cultures. Make contact with an olive branch or a war cry. The goal for your creatures is to conquer the planet.

 

Space Phase

 

The time has come to move on to other worlds in your solar system. Make contact, colonize, or terraform, then venture further to find other solar systems. A ‘mission’ structure provides new goals in your quest for galactic dominance.

Yes, I like the game

 

of course, I started a topic about it 2 months ago :wink:

I'm going to love the Wii. Why? Because it's new. The PS3 and X360 don't appeal to me, simply because they add very little.

[TheBlackOut 7]

I just want to get back to my NES/N64 roots. God, I loved the NES, especially this hockey game, I forgot what it was called, but it was awesome.
