E3 2004

*starry eyes* So...much...Kingdom Hearts news!!!!

But damn, the release dates for the two sequels are late this year and sometime next year... *pouts*

But woo! Lots of new trailers and images Rah to E3!

 

E3 is love...

I am so gaga over all the games...

Visual overload...

 

Okay I've been following E3 for days now( the E3 this year rocks) and judging from what I've seen this what I must say about my anticipated games which were shown at E3:

Kingdom Hearts 2- I've seen the screenshots and does this game look awesome. It also appears that Square has improved the commands and battle controls. All in all, the game looks like it's going to be darker, edgier, and better than the first.

Killzone- Graphically this thing doesn't stand a chance with Halo 2. Will it be a good game? I do believe it will be. This game looks very good and could be one of the best games that will be coming out this year.

Star Wars Battlefront- Even though Lucasarts didn't do a good job on PS2( minus RTX Red Rock which is awesome), this game however looks like it will make up for all the repetitive SW games that were released on PS2. Everything about this game sounds great especially the multiplayer features. I'm also glad they're including single player into the game, it makes this game even more worth getting. I don't know about anyone else but this game sounds like it could be the total package Star Wars game.

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal- Ratchet and Clank series has been one of the most enjoyable game series( besides Jak and Daxter) ever created. The third game looks even better than the first two and it will now feature multiplayer which is definitely a good thing.

Devil May Cry 3- This game has one of the most interesting stories I've read for any of the new games. This prequel to the first DMC, sounds like it might surpass DMC and DMC2 in story and gameplay. It looks like it will definitely be an excellent game.

Prince of Persia 2- I was a little surprised when I saw the screenshots. It looks a alot darker and more gothic than the first PoP. I'm looking forward to playing this one because I absolutely love Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and this sequel looks neat.

Jak 3- This is said to be the conclusion to the Jak and Daxter trilogy( I doubt it though). The game itself looks similiar to Jak II, and the story apparently picks up immediately after Jak II. I'm really looking forward to playing game.

Well, that's all I'm posting since those are the games I'm most anticipated to get this year. Everything at E3 is looking incredible. Oh, by the way does anyone have any news regarding the game, Godzilla:Save the World?

 

I so wish I could have been at E3 this year! this has to be one of the best E3s yet. New realistic Zelda game! Halo 2 playable multiplayer! Metroid Prime 2: Echoes! and KOTOR 2 Sith Lords! I can't wait for these games.

Forcebewitya!

 

Forcebewitya, only the press and retail representatives are allowed to go to E3 AFAIK, so unless you have retail or journalist connections you could not have gone.

 

yeah, I'm aware of this. I was hoping to get a job at EB so I could go sometime, but it doesn't look like thats happening anyway. But I still would like to get down their somehow.

It is probably not a suprise that SC: Pandora Tomorrow is being ported to PS2 and GCN like the original SC from 2002.

Xbox owners will rejoice to hear that another sequel for SC is under production. I won't be surprised if they go for the same strategy again.


EDIT: And this:

New Chip Turns PCs into Consoles

Apex Digital makes its way into the living room

Using DISCover's Drop & Play technology, Apex Digital has created the ApeXtreme, a budget-friendly set-top box that plays DVDs, CDs, MP3s, and PC games.

Thanks to DISCover's chip, the ApeXtreme reads PC-game CD-ROMs and optimizes them for play on a normal television screen. Game installations happen in the background on the hard drive, much like on the Xbox, to make for quick setups. Powering the deck is an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor chip, an Nvidia GeForce4 MX graphics card, and 256MB of DDR RAM.

This year's E3 marks the first time people will be able to play PC games on the final ApeXtreme hardware and see the user interface in action. Expect official announcements concerning partnerships and new devices sporting the chipset to be revealed during the show.


Is it really such a bad idea?

 

I wamnt to see GTA:SA! (If you don't know what I'm talking about you problly won't buy it)
