E3 – post 142
So over the past two days E3 has been going on and Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, Capcom, Ubi and other developers have been talking the talk. So what as a gamer do I have to look forward too? Not a whole lot. That’s not to say I’m losing interest in games… oh heck no. I just find that I’m not at all interested in the these online, multi player, download movie abilities that the 360 and the PS3 can do. I just want games.
Most of the games they showed we’ve been expecting to come down the pipe line soon. E3 just gave us official trailers of when we’ve been waiting for. Gears of War 2, Sims 3, Animal Crossing Wii, God of War 3, Final Fantasy IIIV, more Street Fighter 2, more Prince of Persia, more Resident Evil 5, etc, etc…. Although FFIIIV being on the 360 is quite the shocker and I’m sure that Sony fans are crazy pissed about that. But yeah… nothing there gets me excited.
The Wii’s new add-on that makes the Wii-mote have 1:1 movement is neat but a little late. I don’t see me picking it up until I really need it to play a game. Wii Sports Resort looks fun too, but I still have fun with regular Wii sports so I’ll wait on it too, and Wii Music just looks… meh.
If anything has me jazzed it’s the announcement of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for DS. Not that I’m a huge GTA fan but it was mentioned that Rockstar has made it’s own original engine for the game. I would really like to see what they can do with this engine. Will it be a 3D game or just a top down. How will they make a whole city in the DS? The DS is no PSP. Maybe they’ve just made a small section of a city. Could they be doing some sort of seamless loading for the city so it’s just done in chunks? Oh I so do want to see. More from a developer standpoint then anything.
So yeah… no real big news this year. I know everyone I’ve been talking to is bummed that there is no big shocking news this year.
What about you? Is there big E3 news that get’s you moist?

No big news makin’ me wet my pants, but my friends and I are pissed that we didn’t hear any Zelda stuff beyond “those guys are working.” Didn’t even shoot down that 4chan rumor. We still think a steampunk Zelda’s in the makes, but we’re still bummed with no news.

They night not have said anything but you can bet dime to dollars that they’re on one right now. They probably start a new one as soon as the old one is out the door.
