E3: 2011

• wes_mantooth

  

  Didn't see any of my fellow geeks post a thread...
  
  Anyone excited for any certain game or electronic that is rumored for the E3 conference that starts tomorrow?
  
  I am really curious to see this nintendo that supposedly will blow away the 360 and ps3 graphically and also Hitman Absolution(die hard hitman series fan)
• Trueblue23

  

  I read on IGN that Sony is supposed to give the first details on their next gen system.
  
  GTA 5 is supposed to be shown as well.
• I Wear Pants

  I get way too fucking excited for E3.
  
  
  Trueblue, I'd bet against Sony showing a new system. They've got other shit to show this year like the NGP. I'd be shocked if they or MS showed their next gen console before 2012.
• tuskytuffguy

  It's gonna be all about the new Nintendo, MWF3, and Battlefield.
• I Wear Pants

  ^^^^
  
  That and Kinect things. Plus MS is rumered to be announcing a cable like TV service for Xbox Live.

  Nintendo could have won E3 2011 already with new specs:
  
  Nintendo Wii 2 console, or Project Cafe:
  
  If rumor true, WOW
  
  The info has been split into three categories, Specs, Controller and Games for the system. We’ll be just talking about new spec updates for the console though, as we’re hearing that the Nintendo Wii 2 will run on a IBM triple-core CPU, with 3.6GHz per core, an AMD R700 graphics chipset and 1-1.5GB of RAM.
  Furthermore, we’re hearing that titles on the Nintendo Wii will all support 1080p visuals, and early evidence from insiders suggest that games are looking ‘stunning’.
  It’s pretty mouthwatering stuff isn’t it? Just to put those hardware specs into perspective, the current Wii runs on the Broadway CPU which operates at 729MHZ, with the Hollywood GPU running at 243MHZ with 3mb of graphics memory.
  A new Nintendo Wii console with three processors each clocking in at 3.36Ghz will be able to handle some serious gaming grunt, so if the specs are confirmed at E3 2011, it’s going to be extremely interesting to see what both Sony and Microsoft think with regards to their upcoming PS4 and Xbox 720 consoles.

  Swyped from my HTC Evo with Eternal Prophecy 6.0 ROM.
• wes_mantooth

  

  the crazy thing about those specs are that it is rumored to be had at 400 bucks...unbelievable.
• wes_mantooth

  

  oh shit...i forgot about my favorite series on the current gen consoles...gears of war.

  Take it to the bank: A sure thing
  
  Nintendo announces next-generation console hardware (doesn't even count as a prediction, really).
  Cult hit Minecraft comes to the Sony Xperia Play platform.
  Sony profusely apologizes for PSN hacking debacle during a press conference (perhaps via faux spokesman Kevin Butler).
  Nintendo details the eShop addition to the 3DS, including launch titles.
  Kinect functionality comes to some well-known game franchises.
  Plastic discs continue to lose ground to downloadable content.
  The Sony NGP is backward-compatible with PSP titles.
  Microsoft spends time selling the Xbox 360 as an "entertainment console" with new media offerings.
  
  We'd take that bet: Fairly likely
  
  3DS software updates for video recording and streaming get a launch date.
  Microsoft teases an Xbox 360 successor.
  Sony teases a PlayStation 3 successor.
  The Rock Band franchise comes back from the dead.
  The Sony NGP is $349.
  Nintendo's Wii2/Project Cafe is backward-compatible.
  The Sony NGP is officially called "Vita."
  The US release of the Sony NGP won't be until 2012.
  Other online services answer Call of Duty Elite by promising "online for free" or by attempting premium service tiers of their own.
  Nintendo resurrects one more classic franchise.
  Apple is referred to at least once during each of the big three gaming keynotes.
  
  We'll throw in one final category, for random ideas and products for which we have no basis in fact or even a trustworthy rumor to point to. Some of these are things we think it would be cool to see, others are just out-of-left-field musings, and please, don't count them against us while scoring the predictions above.
  
  Wishful thinking: Very unlikely
  
  New Halo, GTA games spotted.
  Nintendo dips a toe into mature-rated games.
  New Nintendo console controllers will act as portable tablets that retain some functionality away from the console.
  Just like Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword is delayed and made a Wii 2 launch title.
  Being the only company without a portable system, Microsoft announces the "LiteBox."
  The Vitality Sensor makes a surprise comeback!

  I signed up for that COD Elite Beta...kinda curious to see how it is.
  
  
  And as far as the Gears video posted in here, I just could never get into Gears honestly. Maybe I should give it another try
• I Wear Pants

  COD Elite looks almost exactly like Bungie.net

  The stat layout i saw during the demo or w/e looked DAMN near what bungie uses. I noticed that too
• I Wear Pants

  To the point that I almost expect attorneys to get involved.

  I wanna see more of Mass Effect 3, should be the best game of the year
• tk421

  

  Don't care this year. Pissed that Valve isn't going to be there and about the lock down they have going about the next Half Life installment.
• hoops23

  

  Not entirely related to E3, but has anybody ever watched the "Two Best Friends play___" series on Youtube?
  
  Here's some of their work, this time playing Heavy Rain..

  I may never forgive them for this wait.
• hoops23

  

  The new Nintendo has my attention..
  
  Game wise, Uncharted 3, GOW 3, and Battlefield 3 are highly anticipated by me... Kinda wanna see what the new COD is going to offer as well.
  
  One of my favorite PS3 games so far is InFamous, and InFamous 2 releases Tuesday.. Been playing the demo and it already feels better than the 1st, which is saying a lot.
• Hb31187

  

  Uncharted is the only game ive played for Ps3, played 1 and 2...amazing game
• Tobias Fünke

  

  How about we just have them shut down Nintendo and have them devote the proper amount of wherewithal to just making the NCAA Football franchise perfect?
• THE4RINGZ

  

  Wait until you guys get your first piece of ass, all this game stuff won't matter. Well, it shouldn't anyway.
