E3 2009


K.os Theory

Recommended Posts

So yesterday we had both the Nintendo and Sony speeches.

 

I missed the Nintendo one but they've come to the table with not 1 but 2 new Mario games, a Metroid game and some more waggling games along with the wii motion attachment ( to make your waggling more precise ) ;) To be honest I was expecting a new Zelda title on the wii but nope next year it seems for that

 

The Sony speech was OK, the usual suspects, uncharted 2, God of War 2, Ratchet & Clank and Grand Turismo5( all looking fantastic btw ). However their new motion controllers seemed to be...I don't know, it's almost like Sony saw Project Natal from microsoft and rushed the demonstration out?

 

uncharted 2 pt. 1

The big announcement for me though was Team Ico confirming that their new title is called " The Last Guardian ", seriously if what they're showing in the trailer is gameplay it's stunning, if not it's still stunning. The creature animation alone is amazing. The trailer was pretty much the same as the one leaked last month, but you can see the difference...

I've probably missed some things but I'll add more as the day progresses, and better quality footage emerges!

The nintendo one was hard work for a fan. SMG2 looked lovely, and had a nice yoshi sequence, but that was about the highlight. The new metroid could be iffy as it's in an odd style. The 4 player super mario bros looked lovely, but it's not going to wow anyone. The rest was an utter embarrassment of casual gaming soccer mom pap. Not for us.

Disapointing that sony really didn't seem to do anything to address the problems of the ps3, eg cost and the number of exclusives. The stuff we saw was pretty much the stuff they showed at last e3, there was very little new. What they had looked amazing, but it's taking far far too long.

Yep, that looks ace, but when? They announce far too early.

FFXIV online is probably the biggie, but I was burned by FFxi, so not sure how that'll go.

Yeah I'm not the biggest Nintendo fan, but I was expecting something a bit more from them...agreed SMG2 does look good though

 

I know there are a few Forza fans here so feast your eyes on this gameplay footage...

So that's it, all over...

 

all in all i thought it was a pretty great E3 this year, loads of top titles across all platforms.

 

So what's got you excited?

 

For me, it has to be the new Team Ico game, especially after finding out that the trailer shown was 100% in game footage! Honourable mentions to MW2 ( obviously ), uncharted2 and God of War3.

2 new mario games, and a new metroid, woot! The new super mario bros looks particularly good, not spectacular visually but the gameplay looks to be amazing in a group.

 

Otherwise the fab looking Alan Wake, Batman, Forza, Crackdown 2 and Mass Effect 2 for me, really looking forward to all of them.
