Thanks for the heads up / reminder. I knew this was coming as they pump it up to no extent while I watch Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzuke.

I am solely interested in what Nintendo has to say. I have my fingers crossed for a hint at a Tony Hawk or snowboarding title utilizing the balance board.

Spore and Fallout 3...

I haven't seen an E3 this good in awhile. I can't wait to see what Bethesda does with Fallout; considering they say it's the size of Oblivion :)

Well, imo, what makes this E3 a little more special for me is that there is no new console or rumored console that is whoring all the attention. This time around we have only games, and most of them coming from already established and proven franchises.

Oblivion is tiny. I want to see another game on the scale of Daggerfall.

[UPSWeezer]

Well, Fallout 3 looks INSANE!

Wasn't it!? The scattered debris looked so natural!

[Winfrey]

Well, Fallout 3 looks INSANE!

I hope they don't screw it up somehow. Fallout is one of my favorite titles of all time. I want to be able to aim a kick at a rat's groin for extra damage, or plant explosives on a shopkeeper, leave, and come back to loot his exploded corpse and his store. Such good memories:bigggrin:

And if it sucks, I will cry and then play Spore for the rest of my life.

RE5 coming out on March 13, 2009
Fable 2 coming out Fall, 2008
Gears 2 coming out on November, 2008
Fallout coming out on Fall, 2008 (I think)

Plus some surprises! Final Fantasy 13 and Portal: Still Alive are going to be released for the 360.

Why would Valve do such a thing to Portal? :sad2:

Im not sure if it's going to be exclusive, though..

What's the matter?

I thought you were saying that Portal was only going to be released for the 360. Some of us would like it on the PC.

Yeah, as would I. Im not certain.. but it looks like it might be offered through Live. =/

Well now I changed the post.

I wonder if they will ever take a break for at least ONE year. They most they ever offer that is fresh is a new control feature. There's only so much you can present until you no matter what you do, that game will feel the same.

At this point, the only thing that can get people excited for this game, and we are not talking about the fanboys here, are some really good graphics. I doubt even that will do it. >.>

[NiGHTS]

EA's taken some heat in the Madden department, and it looks like they're listening just a bit. The NCAA run feature looks pretty interesting, though.

The Portal thing isn't "the sequel" that everybody's clamoring for, it's just a little fill-in-the-void thing as I understand it that will have some different quirks. It's going to XBLA, so Portal 2 is still on track for PC.

Forgot to add, the thing that I like the most right now is the play-from-hard-drive that the 360's getting in the fall. That will be excellent.

Yeah, load times will be slashed. I wonder what they are going to do to avoid piracy.

Disc must be in drive to play - though I'm sure hackers are already salivating at the chance to crack that one.
