E3 2011: "A whole Latte hype"

[hisak]

That sounds cool! But it's not on PC or Café.

Big news! Nikkei has confirmed that Project Café will in fact feature a controller with a touch screen and a camera. Really interested in seeing how this turns out on Tuesday.

Also it looks like NGP will be named PS Vita. It seems like a strange name, but I can see it working.

Also, if you go to the E3 website and look at whats scheduled for tuesday you will see that not only is there the 9 AM Nintendo show but also an 11 AM show specifically for Zelda...

From what I understand, that will be GameTrailers' live stream of the new Skyward Sword trailer, since there won't be time for it during the press conference.

nice and not nice seeing as i will be asleep at that time and i was hoping to stay up to see it...but meh...probably be easier to find in the morn...

[hisak]

Oops, meant to say demo, not trailer. The new Zelda trailer should be at the press conference.

Here's some photos of E3 being set up.

Microsoft just accidentally leaked the announcement of Halo 4, as well as a Halo remake and a few Kinect sequels. Sounds like we should be seeing a trailer for Halo in a few hours.

hupla, you had the wrong time for the Microsoft conference in the OP, I've fixed it for you.

[hupla]

Yeah its in an hour right?

[hisak]

In a little under an hour and a half. Here are some links if people want to watch it:

I think that Spike TV and G4 are also airing the conference.

Edit: Apparently there might be a pre-show event starting a half hour before the conference? I hadn't heard anything about it before now.

[Beh]

Was I the only one hoping Kinect would be just a little more racist?

EDIT: White quarterback and black wide receiver? That's more like it.

Imma shower before talking about how BORING THAT WAS! But i assure you i was bored

[hisak]

Microsoft's conferences really make me appreciate how brief Nintendo keeps things. So many demos!

Xbox Live TV is the most useless app ever. What's the point?

The Halo 4 trailer was kind of neat, interesting that they introduced it as the start of another trilogy.

I don't know if I can catch any of the other conferences, so I expect full write-ups from you guys!

[hupla]

So let me say watching the confrence on Spike with no lag was the best. I hope they show nintendos but I hear they wont

Microsoft as a first party company showed off very little that wasnt aimed at the casual. The gears demo was suprisingly short and the Halo teasers were weak,

In terms of the motion stuff......eh, Tim should make a new Psychonauts and everything else isnt aimed at me so I wont declare it awful, just un intresting.

Voice recognition is dumber than motion Controls. So dumb, good thing the PC Mass effect wont have me dealing with it.

Tomb Raider looked really cool though! Kinda excited but fall 2012 is faaaaaaar

Overall not offensive, just boring.

Well now that the weakest conference is finished, Im just going to go get awestruck at how awesome that Halo 4 trailer is considering it looks ten times better than the actual product will.

But really, Microsoft didnt deliver. Again. All of their major announcements were leaked ahead of time. Again. So lets all go overhype Project Cafe tomorrow and then realize its just a gimmick with a handful of fantastic First Party games and be let down by how awesome Skyward Sword looks and be let down... Again.

Yeah im being sarcastic, but really. Im quite disappointed in Microsoft this year. I expected much more to get excited about than two Halo games, one of which, the remake of Halo 1, has been one of the worst kept "secrets" in the gaming world as of late. I want to get excited about Cafe tomorrow but wont until I see it in action and see if tis worth my time and money right off the bat.

EA's conference is just getting started! They're starting off with Mass Effect 3.

I will be so upset if this isnt amazing. Not been liking what they have said about ME3 so far : (

Shots. Fired. By EA. Microsoft and Ubi got TOLD

[hisak]

What don't you like? I'm not really familiar with the series, but it looks neat.

EA: "We're not like other companies: no random celebrity guests!" Ha.

Need for Speed: The Run has on-foot sequences. I'm not sure that's a great idea...

Nintendo had Shawn White in 2008!

[hupla]

They taking alot of focus out of the RPG aspects and I dont really want ot go back to earth. Fuck Earth.

Nintendo had Shawn White in 2008!

We dont talk about Nintendo 08 here boy! That was a scary time

(But yeah they got NintenTOLD)

[hisak]

Apparently NFS's on-foot sequences are just a bunch of quick-time events. It doesn't look like fun at all.

Star Wars: The Old Republic. Should I be looking out for this?

[hupla]

All the Gameplay video I've seen looked like the same old  bland MMO stuff we are used to. Way more into the 40K MMO stuff.

OH hey SSX. It sure doesnt really look like SSX
