E3: 2006

[TRIGGER M4N]

This year should be sweet as f*** for MS, what with that free E3 football gold week, and new content coming out EVERYDAY!

What you guys looking forward to seeing/hoping to see at E3?

Me:

Possible Halo 3 (Theres always a chance)
A solid release date for EVERY game this year.
PGR4.
Condemned 2
and this new 'virtual console'
of course, the E3 babes...

[Rival24]

I'd like to be there to play Dead Rising... that's it :P

[Chris]

There's always a big secret announcement. I want to see that, and I hope whatever it is, isn't a letdown. Maybe it's a pricedrop, maybe it'll be the buying out of Rockstar. Who knows.

We need a dent in Sony.

Too Human, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Gears of War, Crackdown, Viva Pinata, Microsoft buying Nintendo, more CGI clips from Sony, non-playable PS3 (rly!)... E3 will be awesome this year.

You can rule out the pricedrop as long as they're losing on every sold console and there's no competition in the next-gen arena. My best guess is that the first pricedrop will arrive 1 week before PS3 launch.

If there are any big surprises, my dollar is on GoW being fully playable on huge screens and it getting a release date of June or July.
We need a dent in Sony.
Sony has proven perfectly capable of denting itself over the last year.

True, but I hope Microsoft breaks into the fanboys of Sony. Too many people have blind love for a name, and when that happens, that name seems to slack off because they get too comfortable. In the end, that will be the end of Sony.

I hope they release a lot of demos that week for the 360, and they release the update for the marketplace so it gets a better look

Better look?
I want better folder management.

Was just discussing the same thing with my brother :) But yes, Microsoft claims that the upcoming update is mainly for usability issues and to solve things learnt from user feedback. So expect background downloading to be in there, and they have rather openly stated that they are reworking MP structure.

I would just like to see the inside of E3, but a sneak peek at the new Splinter Cell would be sweet.

[Rival24]

Nothing from ubisoft? :( And goddamn blizzard peepz.. even though this is an Xbox website I was kinda hoping for Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 :(

[Curry]

That's only confirmed stuff.

[Aift]

Indeed.

That is only a list of confirmed games and publishers that are going to be at E3, people are constantly signing up forE3, so I am guessing there will be many more games too come in the upcoming weeks as we get closer and closer to the E3 Expo.

[Curry]

And most certainly some publishers will try to keep their secrets a secret until the show is there :)
