Hmm, smaller and lighter PSP... and can hook up to a TV... and a new Castlevania?? That's really good. I'm guessing the Castlevania won't be out for the DS? Did the game look like the DS games, or was it more 3D (
 )? |

Interesting. I wonder why the MSG4 execs were saying the other day that it might not be exclusive. I'm guessing Sony ponied up some money after all.

Yeah, they went out of their way to make sure it was noted when introducing the MGS developer. Guess they took him into a dark corner last night for a 'discussion' after his comments yesterday, because they made sure there was no question about it. |

From a summary on Gamespot of the EA conference:
Rock Band will be adding a new batch of songs available for download every week and will eventually have "thousands of songs available."

Nintendo's (the only one I care about) press conference was terrific (I didn't see it, but I've watched trailers from it and read summaries, etc.) to me. Wii Fit looks great. There is tremendous potential with that floor mat peripheral, if you use a little imagination. I will definitely be buying it. This is the kind of thing my wife had in mind when she originally suggested to me we buy a Wii.
Mario Kart! Lots of racers. At least 12 in the trailer shown, I hear. The more the merrier. The Galaxy trailer makes me drool. This game looks more fantastic every time I see something new from it. The release dates for Galaxy and Brawl are good news, too. More confirmation that all of these great games will be out this year. Also, Phantom Hourglass release date! Then there are the other things, like Endless Ocean (which looks great), Fire Emblem, etc. Also the EA games sound like the Wii controls and Wii-specific features will be lots of fun. Just the rantings of a Nintendo fanboy. Pay me no mind. OH I ALMOST FORGOT NiGHTS |

I'm not quite as stoked about it as I was for NSMB as that was just beautiful and I knew it before it even came out. It was all the good qualities of SMB3 all over again. This is something different. I'm not sure yet how good it will be. That said, if SM64 is the first 3D platformer, this looks like the first truly 3D platformer where you really are playing in 3 dimensions including up and down. Again, this is what everyone was predicting for SM128 way back before we got our hearts broken and such a thing never came to the light of day. Then again, it's what Sunshine could have been if the whole game were void levels and there was none of the overworld nonsense with the water gun. Those were wicked hard and wicked fun. I remember playing one of those for almost 45 minutes trying to beat it, but I just kept wanting to try it as it had a perfect "just one more time" feel. SI

Oh, and can someone explain the appeal of the newer PSP? It just doens't look that different. The DS went from blocky to sleek but the PSP was already sleek-looking. Now, maybe if they bulked up the battery life to go along with the slight redesign, it has some redeeming features.
That was the thing with the DS Lite- it looked a lot better as well as being smaller, lighter, and almost doubling an already long battery life. SI

Is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the newest installment in the Unchartered Waters series from Koei?
I hope so, cuz I loved that series on the NES and SNES.

If that comes true, that could give that game an almost infinite shelf-life. Crazy stuff. Brawl comes out the first week of December...just like Smash Melee and just like I was expecting. I seriously don't expect a 360 price drop this year. Maybe next spring. Can't wait for more previews and videos this week. |

Checking in very, very briefly, as I'm exhausted after the Bethesda party.
1) Super Mario Galaxy rocks. 2) Rock Band will still fucking destroy Guitar Hero III...but Neversoft didn't flush that franchise down the toilet, so at least it won't look *worse* by comparison. 3) Wii Fit is entertaining, but exhausting as all hell. 4) Sony's press conference was a hoot. I have pictures of Jack Tretton getting hugged by Chewbacca. They were a little ambiguous on some of the 'exclusives,' leaving some doubt whether they were permanent (other than MGS4), with Haze being a notable "only place *this holiday season,* eh? 5) Big announcements for each system - Disney for Microsoft, Wii Zapper/Wii Fit for Nintendo, NCSoft for Sony and the price cut for Sony - but nothing really amounting to a knockout punch. 6) I may actually buy Madden 08. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. I have another long day tomorrow, so I'm crashing. My next post should be on Friday. |

I'm finding it very interesting how many people are saying that Wii Fit is the stupidest thing they've ever seen. This thing will be huge. I also think there is a lot of potential for that peripheral in other games.

Just announced that the Rumble SIXAXIS controller will be shown in September at the Tokyo Game Show. My guess is that they released this info since people were wondering why it wasn't mentioned in yesterday's presentation.

Interview of 'Dirt' developer about the PS3 version of the game. Says that the PS3 "looks spectacular when compared to the 360 version". Really happy with full steering wheel compatibility with force feedback as well.

Not E3 news, but still big news. Peter Moore has resigned from Microsoft. The rumor is that he left the job to take over EASports.

Part of me wonders. EA was a heavy hammer against the Dreamcast back in the day; does Moore carry a grudge against Sony for that?
It'll be an interesting development to watch, for sure. |

Post from Bill Harris regarding multiple rumors suggesting that Moore was forced out due to the extreme failure rates that were mishandled.
http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/2...rosoft_17.html Multiple articles are also linked in this post showing the negative media coverage that the 360 continues to receive, including one article suggesting that a total recall of all units may be in order. EB Games of Australia has pulled all Xbox 360 stock from the shelves and will not be stocking the 360 until they can get new stock that is free of defects...... http://kotaku.com/gaming/two-weeks/e...all-278562.php A new article up on MSNBC discussing 360 failure rates still continuing with current stock.... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19685018/ Last edited by Mizzou B-ball fan : 07-17-2007 at 08:35 PM. |

New Metal Gear Solid 4 demo shown in Tokyo. Looks like the main character gets to choose which side they fight on in the game. Multiplayer gaming will be available as well.
