The E3 '09 Thread

[zonic505]

Basically, where we talk about the game appearing at E3 & talk about the press conferences & such then they happen in a few more days. Games I'm interested in at the moment that'll be at E3:

- No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (WATCH THE NEW TRAILER NOW)

- Trauma Team

- Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom

- a secret Capcom game (they haven't announce what it is, but said that it'll be revealed at E3)

- Both Shin Megami Tensei games (Persona remake & Devil Survivor)

- Muramasa

- That secret Kojima game

I hope that they do. Here's the clues that they gave us about the secret E3 game:


- NOT Devil May Cry 5 or new Demon's Crest

- Action Game

- Established Capcom Franchise

- NOT a remake

- Developed by Capcom Japan

- Franchise hasn't been on the hardware (hardware not mentioned)

Onimusha perhaps.



Also, the new Front Mission game sounds like it'd be cool.

hyperlinking ftw.

The least they could have done was localize FM5 before announcing the release of this travesty

[DR. GREGORY HOUSE]

If Nintendo doesn't give me a new Wii Zelda this year (or at LEAST an announcement) I'm going to beat them in the face. It's been almost three years since the release of Twilight Princess. They've held off long enough.

Only thing that catched my eye was new Front Mission. Rest was totally meh.

And lol @ Square-Enix trying to hype that piece of crap called Dissidia.

[dieKatze88]

All I care about is hearing what features the big 3 are going to bring to the consoles this year.

Specifically I want some real features on my DSi, and I would like my PSP to not fail as much.

I really want MKV support on my PS3, I wont hold my breath though.

A SDV Tuner for the PS3 to support digital cable in the USA the way the PlayTV box supports Japan would be awesome, I could then merit the cost of a 400 dollar PS3 and training my mom to use it as a DVR, and get a bonus working DVD+Bluray player out of it.

As for the Wii, Its time for the fucking games. Seriously, the Anti-PS3 argument of "there are no games" is stupid and outdated, yet that argument surprisingly applies to the Wii. We have pretty much the same number of games now as we did when the system came out. Why is that?

As for games I care about this year...
start list
Brutal Legend
end of list
