Live from E3 - WandererWillow - 2008-07-14
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm viewing E3 live right now and I figure I'll update everyone that cares with whats going on. I'll post anything huge right away.
UPDATED:
Huge list of things...
Xbox 360 is getting avatars
Netflix has formed a partnership with Microsoft, so you can watch any movie on XBox live
XBox is getting a community set-up with the avatars, so you can have 8 people in a room chatting at once via avatar
You can stream movies via Netflix to everyone in a room that you're friends with, so they can watch the movie with you at the same time (thats fucking insane)
Lots of games are coming out this Fall, to include XNA games, Game Show games, XBox 360 games (soooo getting viva pinata)
Rock Band 2 songlist was shown. Bob Dylan FTW.
Square is releasing 3 RPGs specifically for the 360...and then hit us with a bombshell that FFXIII is coming to the 360
I think those are the big ones from the Microsoft showing...great stuff.

The trailer for FFXIII was awesome...thought it was maybe Dragon Quest or something (though the graphics didnt exactly match up) and then...wham...main character from FFXIII. Was awesome.

Where's the Live stream?
*searches the site for the FFXIII trailer*
Live from E3 - WandererWillow - 2008-07-14
They were forced to pull back and do a distanced view on the trailer so it couldn't be recorded via stream, but you won't just get it at the site. Kotaku is apparently doing text updates on the press releases though.

Golden Sun 3 please. :<
On that note, any word on Final Fantasy IV or Chrono Trigger for the DS?
Live from E3 - Berzerk - 2008-07-14
Omg. Yeah, can we get a Golden Sun 3? I'm watching a recording of the Microsoft Press Conference right now. All the news is amazing. Resident Evil 5 got a release date. News about Guitar Hero 4. Fallout 3 looks amazing, I first thought it was a Bioshock sequal. I can't wait until the fall update. Online parties with 8 people, watching movies though Netflix? That's freaking amazing.

FF13 for the 360?!
WHY THE HELL DID I GET A PS3 DANGIT?! >:[
Live from E3 - Magus - 2008-07-14
Uggh, Portal : Still Alive is an exclusive Xbox 360 game.
That really pisses me off.

Now we just need KH3 on Xbox and the PS3 will be completely and utterly raped.

It will happen. I for one am glad I have my 360. SO4, FFXIII, DMC4, ToS2. Just to name a few.

I just got done with my frustration at Nintendo. Dear...god...
Alright, Nintendo has pretty much shot themself in the face. Not even the foot this time. The face. Why?
1) Half the Wii games announced (probably more towards 2/3rds) require the wii fit pad. The new snowboarding game requires the ability to stand on it and move while balancing yourself. Good luck to any gamer that's not great with balance or is out of shape.
2) The Wii MotionPlus, or the Wii "What the controller should have been from the start"...yeah, it makes the Wii controller more responsive to motion, etc etc...great, where was this two years ago?
3) Wii Music. Or, "How to play air (fill in the blank) while your Mii's and your Wii do the work for you". Yes, the object of the game is just to move around like you're playing, while the game ACTUALLY plays it for you. You don't have to play in rythym. You don't play specific notes. If you want to know how this works, turn on a music video, grab your Wiimote and Nunchuck, and play air guitar while holding it. You've effectively beta tested Wii Music.
4) The first 30 minutes was all about how well the Wii and DS were doing. Great. Noone gives a pomegranate. Move it along, tell us why the Wii and DS WONT tank in the next year.
5) I should have known that after Reggie called Animal Crossing a "Hardcore Game" that he was delusional. He promised alot of surprises for hardcore gamers, and delivered a whopping total of none. GTA for DS? Animal Crossing? Wii Sports Resort? Howsabout Zelda? Kid Icarus? EARTHBOUND?
Every single site that was blogging on it shows how disappointed they are. I got to see the event live and I was heavily disappointed. What the hell? And I think they need to check their facts...stating the Wii has a bigger library than the PS3 and the XBox 360...right. Lies. All lies. I'm actually, for the first time ever, not disappointed in myself for selling my Wii.
Live from E3 - Berzerk - 2008-07-15
Wow Willow. That really sucks. I've had a Wii since launch, and have did nothing with it. If there aren't any real good games coming out, I'mma get rid of it. The whole idea of the Wii Fit Board seems really Childish and I don't plan on getting one.
B> News on God of War 3 and Kingdom Hearts 3. T_T
