E3 2009

[Apex]

So, what did everyone think about it?

I personally thought that Nintendo did pretty horrible.

Also enough motion sensing technology, please, ALL THREE of them did nothing but tout it.

I was pissed at the lack of XIII Versus, but wow, XIV was announced.

There will be a XIV? Wow... I hope it's good or I'll remake FFIX myself.

XIV was announced.

Nintendo's wasnt as bad as everybody thinks. Everyone wanted another Zelda to be publicly announced, so when it isn't everyone blame Ninty. I don't know why really. Zelda wii is a game we all knew existed since Twilight Princess.

Instead I am happy we are getting 2 new Metroid games( One that was kept under radar til yesterday; Other M, and one thought to be scrapped;  Dread) and another unnamed mystery game by Retro Studios. Things really confirmed at E3 ninty side.

Only reason why ppl think M$ won this year was cuz of the new halo game, although seriously we all knew Bungie wasnt and wont leave the halo series alone. Although TBH I loved the fact that L4D 2 is coming out.

However I for one thought Sony's was crap. Nothing I really hadn't heard before. except FF14... but it's online so bah.

natal was leaked, i gotta say i am not really surprised. That kinda technology ahs been around. I am more surprised at the fact that sony and MS after much critic to ninty they go about the same way.

[RoninSensai]

Final Fantasy XIV is going to be online? Like XI? That kinda sucks.

I want to get Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Splatterhouse. It kinda sucks that a new Zelda wasn't announced. They should revamp Zelda II. They could make an incredible game if they did that.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

I should really pay attention to already existing threads.

XIV is going to be online, but I doubt it'll be much like XI, seeing that as of now it's a PS3 exclusive. MMO games usually aren't CONSOL exclusive, they are usually at least on the PC. I bet it's just got like Online Coop or something. Also Natal didn't look all that cool compared to Sony's color-changing dildo camera thing. Didn't look as polished, but it seemed more capable.

Also, I didn't see anything on Dread, was that announced later?

Inb4 shitstorm of console wars etc.
Also, L4D 2 is an AWFUL idea, it came way too soon.

just like Halo.

I was also pissed at L4D2's appearance. It's coming out almost exactly a year after the first game (give a take a few days in theory) and if it isn't compatible with the original, then it will totally cannibalise its playerbase.
This happens with most series sure, but it shouldn't happen so soon after.
Also, Valve initially promised to continue supporting L4D after release with new levels and weapons, but that really hasn't come to effect so far. I heard they claim to intend to support both games at once, but that's just stupid.

just like Halo.

Not really, Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 have all been 3 years apart. ODST is compatible with Halo 3 (right?) so it doesn't count. Reach might not be, but then it might not even be an FPS at this point.
Looking forward to it though.


>FFXIV
Well this could be interesting
>MMORPG
I will never pay attention to the name "FFXIV" again

Are you telling me that Halo have been around for 9 years now? I'm getting old.

Anyway, I get the feeling that Halo will be a new FF. Too many games in a rather short time.
Square did a new one every two years or so. So I guess we'll see Halo 12 in the stores when we're middle aged men with wives and kids.

Hopefully everyone is with me when I say Ubisoft's day sucked.

Did they have anything interesting at all?

The longevity is questionable since Master Chief's story is supposedly over.
But it's all in the same universe (unlike FF) so it's nice to see more of the story told, so says me.
