Welp, back on topic. If Gabe does somehow announce EP3, I imagine it being like this. An empty stage at E3 is shown, an audience full of bored journalists who are still discussing random Kinect bullshit. Gabe Newell, fresh with a shaved head, walks on to the stage. Multiple nerdgasms rang out from within the audience, phrases such as "Oh my fucking god" to "ITS HIM! ITS GABE!" come from the crowd. Gabe then chuckles under his breath. He summons a microphone from thin air, he arrived unannounced so he wasn't given an earpiece. He looks over the crowd before whispering in the microphone "...............Episode Three." A hush now falls on the crowd as Gabe Newell leaves E3, only sound being heard are bricks dropping on the floor. -Inception music-
[QUOTE=DanTehMan;30335731]I think it's kind of stupid that Nintendo is just NOW releasing a console that can compete with the current generation. When Microsoft and Sony release the next generation, Nintendo won't have shit and will be left behind.[/QUOTE] I kind of agree, but a lot of people are saying that the WiiU is certainly more powerful than the PS3 or 360. But yeah, next year MS and Sony are probably going to reveal parts of their new consoles which will technically blow WiiU out of the water.

[QUOTE=BadderSanta;30335655]Well technically, you are comparing games developed by these game developers and those developed by an entire corporation. Activision doesn't develop shit. They just look over IW/Treyarch's shoulders, cut out good, new features that would make some old CoD fans come back. Then say things like "But I liked that in last game, you should make it come back." An employee then rises to say something in disagreement, Kotick holds his/her employment papers and puts his thumb on the Terms of Service agreement. Random employee then sits down and puts Painkiller back in.[/QUOTE] Yes the publisher is the problem with The CoD series, but I don't care about that. I'm just doing the basic comparison of looking at only the game and the game's histories and ignoring all the bullshit that surrounds it. Looking back at each series and seeing what is different from the previous titles. Nothing about publishers or corporations, only the game and their mechanics. Anyway I stopped caring about 2 minutes ago, so I'm done

That's all they care about and that is all you should expect them to care about.
[QUOTE=TizzYcho;30334392]Xbox Arcade? That's just packaging.

Oh wait the ps1 plays the same as the ps2. Who cares they have a graphical update which allows better games. Your argument is invalid. Really platform haters are just as bad as platform fanboys since they always think of the same arguments. [editline]8th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=TizzYcho;30335639]Why would I clarify when all of us already witnessed it? Nintendo pulled the same games out their ass they do every year and people are somehow impressed. Need I say more?[/QUOTE] Oh we already went over this I don't care how many times they pull the same franchise out if every time its good. I mean sony is doing twisted metal, sly and rachet and clank and no oens complaining because we know there still going to be good. Not to mention hd remakes of 5 games.
is this a sly repeat or what?
[QUOTE=Chilblain;30335634]Okay, I'm sorry, but this statement fills me with fury. You haven't even seen the others yet but you're claiming "Nintendo won E3". Bullshit. If you've watched all the conferences I'd respect your opinion, but come the fuck on. Do the research before you hit the conclusion.[/QUOTE]I watched every minute of all three conferences. Microsoft's was an embarrassment, the only highlights being the Halo CE remake and Gears 3. Sony's conference was enjoyable, but I groaned during it several times, from the Move game presentations to the 3D TV they were trying to pitch. I can think of nothing that put me off during the Nintendo conference. The new console looks incredibly intuitive and enjoyable, and it was great to see that the 3DS and Wii were getting a ton of new games soon. Their conference was flawless. Don't assume what I did or didn't watch.

Why does anyone even say "*** won the E3" or try to disagree with someone saying such things, it's completely their own opinion.
[QUOTE=AngryToad;30331823]i have a feeling my computer won't be able to run this :smith: but if it does, the game [I]is[/I] looking pretty amazing at this point and i will play the fuck out of it[/QUOTE] One of the reasons I'm excited is because I'm upgrading this year and will probably be able to run it perfectly :buddy:
[QUOTE=Atlascore;30336716]It's an over sized Gameboy advance connected to a Wii with a better GPU, I could take apart my PS3 controller and slap a screen in the middle and the buttons around it and literally have the same thing. [editline]8th June 2011[/editline] This, no one won E3 stop being stupid.[/QUOTE] Oh Everything sounds stupid when you say things like that. And saying non of them won is pretty stupid as well. Obviously people will have different opinions but everyone can agree that microsofts wasn't exciting at all. Really I hate stupid system rage its just like system fanboyism.
Still no goddamn Skyrim.

[QUOTE=NanoSquid;30309926]Nintendo wins for a new Smash Bros and Luigi's Mansion 2[/QUOTE] yeah because that series really needs continuation can nintendo go back to making interesting IP rather than shitting out a sequel every fucking month
[QUOTE=Kopimi;30337225]yeah because that series really needs continuation can nintendo go back to making interesting IP rather than shitting out a sequel every fucking month[/QUOTE] Thats what the 3rd party is for. Really again who cares if its the same ip as long as its awesome. Are you not going to play the new sly game because its not new? Also really they didn't even announce any new games (besides smash bros) so your argument is based on an assumption. Oh and if im correct didn't the creatures of metriod stop making metriod games so they could do something else?

It's a great and complete coverage, they go to the floor booths plus creators and stuff go to the gamespot area to talk about it answer questions and sometimes play the game they made right there for you, a general conversation of their game, it's a great coverage. They have all the highlights, the conferences to watch again not only the conferences but all they did so if you missed something just look for it it's all there, also there are games previews/reviews and so on just browse through the website menus on top and you'll be fine, I hope that's what you were looking for as answer :buddy:

[QUOTE=Kopimi;30337677]yeah and madden is a shitty series too is that really your defense? its ok for nintendo to milk a franchise because they're not the only ones doing it?[/QUOTE] No its who cares how many bad mario games they make all that matters is how many good ones they make. Its like me hatting on microsoft because they allow madden games its stupid.
Nintendo can milk a series all they want because their milk is always the best
Mario is milked in a different way I guess, the brand is milked. But they produce different games in terms of feel and even genre sometimes, unlike say CoD which is pretty much the same game. Also sports games aren't milked, imo they deserve a new one each year, I find it hard playing an outdated FIFA because of the teams, leauges, kits etc. Although they could do a DLC for sports games, but I'd probably seen prefer a full retail title.
Yeah and besides, Mario has been making spin-offs and sequels before it was even a problem in gaming.
