E3 2009

Right on!! I like forging!! xD

@Arikado: Why do you think halo is generic and boring?

I think Microsoft had the best conference, no boring stuff, some unexpected things,
and Nintendo had the best, ähhhh hypeworthy surprise game.

I am looking forward to (assuming the turn out good):

Must Buys:
1: Metroid: Other M - trailer was orgasmic
2: Shadow Complex (XBLA) - Modern MetroidVania for the win
3: New Super Mario Bros Wii

Propably:
4: either Halo ODST (like the flashbacks) or Modern Warfare 2
5: Super Mario Galaxy 2: More of the same great stuff
6: Metal Gear Rising
7: Splinter Cell Conviction
8: Mass Effect 2
9: The 3D Marvel Smashbros clone


@Arikado: Halo 3 is great - and the online expirience is so streamlined.

While all of the Halo's have had some fairly good online functionality (Halo 3 online really was unbelievable actually) I still find the core gameplay experience to very generic and boring, the sound mediocre, and the story somewhat predictable. I far prefer Resistance 2 or even King Kong (which is terribly underrated btw :P) to Halo. Perhaps it's because I don't play online much, or the fact that the core gameplay of Resistance 2 online is far better than Halo any day. As far as fps's go though, I cant wait for Red Steel 2. That may be he fps ever created :D :D :D

Yeah, when playing the campaign on halo, i found it to be kind of lame. I guess the story's cool, but that's not what i necessarily like about halo. Multiplayer is what i think makes halo so beastly!! There're a buttload of game modes, and its really fun to play with friends. Forging is another thing i really like about halo. Lol, i like making cheap maps to play with my friend, and then i own him when i hide a rocket launcher somewhere that he can't find, and i make all players start out with pistols!! :P hehe, halo 3 is a fun game! :D

Edit: What exactly is the "Core" of the gameplay?? I'm not sure i understand. :P

Like the multiplayer is a mode, but the "core gameplay" is the running, shooting, weapon selection, etc. that you alone do. Its the stuff that the rest of the game couldn't be there for without.

Okay then. i don't really have a problem with the core gameplay. i like it. :P i guess thats just your choice.

I felt I could get the same (yet slightly better) core gameplay experience playing Goldeneye 007 actually :P

It also didnt "wow me". (Actually, the last game to do that was God of War II -- and the next will prolly be assassins creed 2 :P)

My parents are strict about what i can and can't play, so i've never played assassins creed. :( i'd like to, though. My friend says its dumb "Because there aren't any guns". I think thats dumb. :P

I can understand, why you compare Resistance 2 to Halo, but King Kong is such a different kind of game, it's like apples, oranges, and potatoes.
That won't take away your opinion, though

I was looking forward to AC2, but the E3 gameplay at UBI's conferece looked like more of the same repetative stuff.
The hangglider part was awesome though.
I think that is a good time to say, that I want a new Pilotwings :D

Agreed, but any chance I have to shout out the gloriousness of King Kong, I'll take.

Agreed. The only thing almost more awesome thank the glider was the cinematic trailer for the game.

erm, when i said Halo:CE i was talking about Halo Combat Evloved, i.e the first one. And arikado, you said that Resistance 2 is the best fps. New fps, yes. But for all-time supremacy, it definitely goes to Starsiege: Tribes, an 11 yar old game that still has active servers. It is awesome, and nothing will ever beat it. I mean, come on, what other games give everyone a jetpack, a chaingun or mortar launcher, and tricks iin the physics to use explosive disk launchers to fly uber fast? none, that's what. I play it every day on my dinosaur of a computer and it runs perfectly. It may not be the prettiest, but it's the best. And there's no doorknobs to get caught on like in COD5. Especially the Wii version. *shudder* =D

Lol, when you said halo CE, i thought you were talking about this!!!

no, that's halo:ce:ce =D man what a bad title. And have you ever gotten caught on a doorknob? I have. And then i die. But that's just not hitting the knife button in time. Damn. hmmmmmm.......someon should make a GC controller driver for that. How cool would that be? to bring this on-topic, did anyone see the project natal thing at microsoft's conference? That looks sooooooooooooooooooo cool!

Dang, i know!!! Lol, they pwned nintendo with that project!! :P

Sigh, fanboys. I have two choices, hilarious video, or purging with fire.
Karma suggests the video.

Erm, no. While NATAL allows for controller-less (and in some cases more active) gameplay, it has it's limits. Since there's no physical controller, it's pretty much impossible to play a huge variety of genres with it (fps's for example). I'll take my Wii Motion Plus Red Steel 2 over baby sitting Milo any day. For the same reasons, I also thought SONY's new motion toy looked better than NATAL.

Edit: BTW, topic destickied because E3 is over.

yeah, i saw it, thought "WOW!!!!!", then read about it. Then i started thinking, "that'll have NO use whatsoever in shooting games. crap. Might be good for Skate and Tony Hawk, but not much else. Hmmmmmmm....I also heard that it would mae a digital model of your head and project that onto the character. Cool, but what happens if its an RTS and you play as 50 characters? No thank you. A novelty toy, at best. And i agree with you arikado, I'd take motion plus Red Steel 2 any day. Speaking of that, i never could beat the last level of Red steel.....
