Well, it starts again tomorrow.

First bit of news: Beautiful Katamari (damacy) is canned for the PS3, and is now an exclusive for 360.

I'm lazy so I'll post what I said before somewhere else, heavily edited.



You say that Music games will be the new shit after E3... Nope, not when they all steal ideas from Konami's Guitar Freaks (Guitar Hero, I'm lookin at you, bitch) or are shitty DDR clones claimin' they're something new.

When I thought E3 was downsized, I thought it was the nail in the coffin, and it'll always suck. It also ruined my dream of ever goin' to one. But now I don't care, cause it was just as good, but the others were wayyy better.

Yeah, I agree with the FPS craze, but I'll be on CoD4 and Killzone when my best friend gets a PS3.

The most boring show this year was Microsoft's.. They only decided to focus on this year's schedule, which we already know about. They didn't show off nothing that shocking, except a new color.

Nintendo's was good. A lot of those games were unexpected, release dates were dropped on some of the killer apps like Brawl, and that Wii Zapper looks to be a new way to play FPSes and replicate the action of AC lightgun shooters. Not much in the way of 3rd party games, I fear for now (I'll explain this later) And also, I'm pretty glad that the DS is still gettin' a LOT of good games this fall.

It seems like Sony pulled out everything they had, and it worked. Only thing I can say is that MGS4, SC4, Killzone, this "Home" thing, and a lot others (such as LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet and Clank Future, Folklore, etc.) look good, and I wanna see how Echochrome plays in my hands. Looks like a nice puzzler.

The PSP redesign looks the same. When you have so much shit in the system, and moving parts... There's basically no way to redesign it. I was expecting DS-DS lite kinds of transformations.

But, all in all, this all would be 'cause of:

1. E3's being smaller this year, and forever after.
2. Game developers finally noticing Nintendo's newfound success.
3. The game industry choking itself with high production costs, which means that developers aren't willing to do the exclusitivity thing, That's why most of the stuff being shown is the same, sadly...

Sony had its first parties doing shit like Killzone to fall back on, MS had Halo 3, and Nintendo had its usual shit this year.

what did y'all think of assassin's creed? that looked like it had potential to be fun... dont know how i feel about that wiifit crap... looks totally unnecessary... and maybe its just me.. but the death of the wii might be all the damn add-ons they are forcing you to buy... the nunchuk, the classic controller, the zapper, the balance board... seems like the old school NES when they had all their peripherals... maybe im just angry cause i dont have a wii... but whatev lol

Wii Fit will sell billions, I and you can feel it too. That was MADE for the casual crowd.

Assassin's Creed was pretty wonky. How can someone fall off a building into the street and have no one notice?
