Title: Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: MagmarFire on July 14, 2008, 11:27:10 AM
It. Is. Here! :D

I made this thread in commemoration of this event, and also so we can discuss our opinions on it. Express them!

...For me, it seems that XBox 360 is copying the Wii's Mii system through the use of things called Avatars. What do you guys think?

And for you Portal fans, looks like there are going to be more levels, achievements, and more this fall. Tacheon will probably enjoy this bit of news. ;)

Man am I psyched,,, I'm getting most of my info off of IGN.

While I am a Nintendo nerd, I'm excited for Resistance 2... very excited, actually. And God of War 3, which, according to IGN, both are being displayed at E3 if not for a short time.

Nintendo may also announce a new or improved handheld, a possible new Zelda (probably not) and an attachment to the Wii Remote for 1:1 interaction (as in, your motions are not dlayed at all).

Got all that from IGN, I did.  :)

I dunno, I just fell sort of cynical about a new Zelda. I mean of course I want one, but you know.... I just don't see it as very likely.

Hopefully I'm wrong.  :P

My thoughts exactly. They didn't appeal to the core gamer at ALL. All we got was a buttload of a bar-charts, and menopausal woman on a snowboard, an add-on for the Wii-mote and more Wii-sports. I've never been so disappointed in my life. I can only hope that they announce something within the next few days, because now- I'm pissed.

If you were paying attention to the crowd you can see they were all disappointed too. Nobody laughed at that weird lady or Reggie's jokes.

It's official: I now like Sega more than Nintendo. They don't even make consoles any more, but Sega cared about the gamers until the very end, and their main goal was always to make quality consoles and games. Rest in peace, Sega... you'll live on in my heart and in my gaming collection.

Now, moving on, is there any news from Sony about the PS3 yet?

This whole thing is starting to break my heart. I've been with Nintendo from the minute I laid eyes on my brand new Gamecube on Christmas in 2001. This is probably the first time I've ever considered not supporting them. I actually realize now that they don't care about their costumers. I always though Nintendo was set apart from the other game companies because they actually cared about their costumers and made games the best they could. For a while now a part of me knew they only cared about money, but I always denied it because I didn't want it to be true. It really disgusts me that they would betray all of their fans like that.

Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 15, 2008, 01:35:55 PM
So you think that Nintendo betraying the loyal fans it had for 20+ years and instead choosing to cater to an audience that ordinarily wouldn't have cared less about Nintendo in the past 20 or so years is just fine and dandy?

Maybe Im not as "in" to video games as the rest of you guys; I would never unironically call myself a "gamer." But I seriously do not see any of what of you guys are babbling on about.

So Nintendo is focusing on another market? Good for them? You guys are saying that they're focusing on this to the exclusion of "core gamers" (stupidest term ever, by the way). How? I just don't see it. Maybe you can enlighten me?
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 15, 2008, 01:56:21 PM
What have the majority of games for the Wii been? Shovelware, very poor versions of multi-platform games (Rock Band springs immediately to mind), and games like Wii Fit. Now look at E3: they didn't announce anything to appeal to the true gamers. Just more Wii Fit-style crap. As ZV said:

QuoteThey didn't appeal to the core gamer at ALL. All we got was a buttload of a bar-charts, and menopausal woman on a snowboard, an add-on for the Wii-mote and more Wii-sports. I've never been so disappointed in my life.

Nintendo can now safely market the Wii this way: "A revolutionary new exercise machine that's not only inexpensive, but the whole family will love it." Wait... isn't that how they've been marketing it for the past year or so, once they scared away all of the gamers?
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Commodore Axilon on July 15, 2008, 02:01:41 PM
Isn't that basically the same thing they did with the Gamecube, though? A bunch of mediocre third-party ports with a smattering of first-party titles in between.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 15, 2008, 02:09:08 PM
The whole Gamecube thing wasn't entirely Nintendo's fault; it was the third-party developers who were under the impression that the Gamecube was a "kid's console." Why this was, I have no clue. Nintendo still worked hard to make some quality games for it, though, and they succeeded in that regard. Most of the third-party developers that did stick with the Gamecube, however, made an effort to make their games high-quality, so there are a good number of very enjoyable third-party games for the Gamecube as well.

The Wii, however, is different. Nintendo decided to give the "casual gamer" (just a phrase for non-gamer) audience a shot, and once they saw how much money they made, they didn't care about the gamers at all any more. The third-party developers that didn't like the Gamecube had no reason to support the Wii at all now, and the small third-party companies flocked to the Wii, because they knew that no matter how little effort they put into their games, they'd still sell enough for them to make a profit, all because of the  Wii label on the box.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: kamakaziplumber on July 15, 2008, 02:17:51 PM
So, um, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 3, and SSBB don't count for anything anymore?

I have to agree with COMM-E. I was disappointed, but, I haven't lost all hope in Nintendo just because they don't have any news right now. My friend gave a pretty good explanation of it, if you'll allow me to paraphrase: typically, Nintendo likes to announce games that are well into production at E3. The only reason we're seeing these games today is because they're well into production and such. So Zelda and Mario aren't far enough into production to be touted as the next best titles for Wii... it's only fair to give Nintendo some slack. I mean, we just got a new Mario game last year, and I seem to remember people thinking it was absolutely amazing. That's better than Gamecube did.

And only recently we've had new Zelda games. We're not fans who get games every year, we have to wait a good while to get new Zelda's. I was disappointed by the lack of Zelda news, but, I haven't suddenly lost all hope in Nintendo because of it. It's not like they'll stop working no Zelda forever just because in E3 '08 there was no news on a new game...

The point is we're not getting a smattering of 1st party titles!Sure, Wii Music and Wii Sports are 1st party titles, but they're complete crap! What everyone is so mad about is that they don't have any Zelda, Mario, Metriod, Star Fox, etc. for us! Not to mention, the Gamecube failed miserably.

KP: I'm not saying that Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime 3, and SSBB don't count for anything. I only own two of those games, and I very much enjoy them, but those games you mentioned, along with a few others, are pretty much the only decent games on the Wii. Except for Mario Kart Wii and Metroid Prime 3, I think that between my sister and me, we own every Wii game worth anything.

It was the end of the world for Nintendo Fanland long before E3, JQ. This pretty much just confirming that Nintendo doesn't care about anyone but the non-gamers any more.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: HylianHero92 on July 15, 2008, 02:48:07 PM
The thing I'm mad about is that Nintendo promised they would bring new titles that would " maximize their key franchises". Since when has Wii Sports been a Key Franchise? When they said they'd be maximizing their key franchises, I thought they meant Mario, Zelda, Metriod, etc. It's not that Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Metriod Prime 3, and SSBB weren't enough, it's because of the fact Nintendo promised a new Mario/Zelda/Metriod and everyone expected a new Mario/Zelda/Metriod title that everyone is mad! I don't know about you guys, but I was waiting on the edge of my seat for any Zelda news. It's just like ZV said in the Project Deluge topic, They must have some Zelda news for us!

Heh... I don't really feel like buying any Xbox 360 or PS3 games... So I'm not sure where to sit around on this here.  I'm not into First person shooters or Sandbox environments, so right now the Wii and DS are getting my money. The DS, especially is getting a LOT of good games. Like remakes in 3-D of Dragon Quest IV, V, and VI, as well as Final Fantasy IV. And then there's FFTA2.

While the Wii has weak titles at the moment, the DS still looks strong for me.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 15, 2008, 04:51:13 PM
The DS has been strong for a while, and I can see it continuing to be that way, in spite of all of the shovelware. Unlike the Wii, there are two titles I'm looking forward to on it: "Bangai-O Spirits" and "Trauma Center 2."

Has anyone heard anything about the PS3 yet? New retail configurations... anything?

Post by: Fishalicious on July 15, 2008, 05:37:27 PM
Squeenix went with Microsoft in the end, if I recall correctly. Which is strange, considering I didn't watch it.

So, essentially, the PS3 is good for oldsnake and as a conversation piece. ... And Silent Hill 5, but it's coming out for the 360, as well, making it moot.

...Actually, I think I heard something about MGS4 coming to the 360, which would make the PS3 not useful for oldsnake.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 15, 2008, 05:39:37 PM
MGS4 would never work on the 360 for one reason: Kojima himself said that the 50GB Blu-Ray disc isn't big enough to hold MGS4. It had to be compressed or something. If 50GB isn't enough, there's no way an 8GB Xbox 360 DVD would hold it. Just helping to kill an internet rumor here.

I hope they're packing a Dualshock 3 in with the PS3 base model... I'm almost 100% sure that they are, but still.

As I've read, there's only ONE version of the PS3 that's backward compatible with ALL PS2 hardware: The 60 GB version. And that one has been moved out of production.

PSX games should work fine though.

I really hate to start the arguments again, but I must ( please don't kill me). I'm sorry to say it but it was obvious a Zelda title is under way. What we (or at least I) was so angry about was the lack of News. Not what we already knew. But I suppose it's nice to hear Nintendo actually confirm a Zelda title is under way...
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: kamakaziplumber on July 15, 2008, 08:19:27 PM
Yes, but... you guys went a bit overboard, no? At least in my opinion. We aren't always going to have news, things just happen that way. It was annoying not hearing any Zelda news today, at E3, but, it's kind of over-the-top to (almost?) completely lose faith in Nintendo because of it. We can't  expect news at every summit, and when it doesn't come the best we can do is hope we hear more about it soon.

When they have news for us, Nintendo will deliver; they always have.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 15, 2008, 08:24:58 PM
Yeah, I understand KP. We're not just upset at the lack of news though. If you'd read back at what Twilight Wolf's been getting at you'd understand. Nintendo isn't focused on the satisfaction of their gamers anymore. The fact that they're going nuts over all this Wii-fit, or as I like to call it "Wii-****" proves that they;re abandoning their core gamers, and targeting the non-gamers. We're tired of everything they're putting their time into being a cook-book for the DS, a GPS on the flight landing DS, or turning their Wii into a bowflex. They're losing sight of what made me fall in love with their games in the first place- the magic.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: HylianHero92 on July 15, 2008, 08:49:15 PM
Thats exactly my point ZV. This has been happening for quite some time. But at least they had something for us then! Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess appealed to the core gamer, but those seem to be the last of their kind. The point is not that I didn't hear any news about Zelda, but that Nintendo doesn't care enough about Zelda and Zelda fans to say anything about it!

Btw, that annoying translator guy (for Shiggy) was wearing a Zelda tee-shirt! How could he!

If you were to give a surprise birthday party for your daughter, would it be that you'd care nothing for her birthday when you keep it a surprise until the time is right? No. This is just one of those instances. Nintendo just wants us to keep us surprised.

I wasn't talking about your post that time. I was giving you a reason as to why it wasn't released for awhile. You know, instead of dishing out a bunch of titles that have reduced quality *coughcoughGuitarHerocoughcough*, they've taken their time to deliver a title worthy of praise.

Duke Nukem, to my knowledge, is a shooter series... I'm not quite up to the history on the series, but I think the last released game in the series was Duke Nukem 3D for the Saturn and Playstation. There was an N64 version of that game, too, if I'm not mistaken. It was similar to Quake, if memory serves. Duke Nukem Forever, which was supposed to be the next game in the series, has been delayed for years. I think it was originally supposed to be out in the late '90s, but it never happened. From what I've heard, though, it's still under development.

I think you might be misinterpreting the ending. It's probably just a nice way to end the series... all the loose ends were tied up in Halo 3 anyway. A Halo 4 would bring about a whole new story.

I think it was invitation-only for just one year... was it '07? I don't remember. I think pretty much anyone can attend E3, but I'm sure there's some charge to get in. They do need to make money, after all...

And as far as Resistance goes, I would love to get into that game, but unfortunately I dont own it. I've only played through random levels at my friends house.

There are not going to be eight Halos.  There are only the three "Halo" games, and Halo Wars.

Opening Trailer (http://silenthill5.net/silent-hill-homecoming-e3-trailer-2.php)
Gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W2Y-oZyM7A)

I saw the trailer and went, "Wow, this doesn't look that bad."

I heard "Free camera" and cried a little. I heard the explanation for how you find items and cried a little more. It's not going to be very scary at all- "Oh, there's that key I needed. Oh, I can see that monster behind me, lol."

Regardless, the melee attacks seem to have improved, which I'm glad for-It's not fair to make a pipe and a sword handle exactly the same.

I'm not impressed with fixing the camera, though...

Because it gets old. We know the idea already. Kill aliens, save the world, beat the game, play online. The first three times it was good, but a fourth would dry things out. You can't rely on one ending. If you beat the game on normal you learn that Master Chief is dead. Now we obviously know he's not, but if I didn't know that then I could create an entire argument on how the chief is dead.
The only reason Halo Wars will be good is because it's going to explain a lot. It will fill in the blanks. Making a fourth Halo would only (in my opinion) agrivate players and further destroy the reputation of the Halo franchise. It would be one of those games where you and your friends looked back on it and said
"Remember Halo?"
"Yeah, that game was great!"
"Until the fourth one came out."
I think that halo is over, the only things left will be answered with Halo Wars. Until then everything else is just your imagination.

So let me get this straight, you have a friend that ASSUMES there are going to be 8 halo games solely on the fact that there are 8 halo's? If that was the case then they could just release halo 1 eight different times!  And just because he is addicted to halo and has nothing else to do doesn't mean that every assumption he makes is correct. If I was a huge DBZ fan I could tell you that since there is one inkling of evil left in the game, there must be another coming out soon.
The purpose of Halos 1-3 was to stop the covenant from using Halo and to eradicate the flood. That was completed. There is really nothing left for the chief to do.

Yes. Since I know my Shakespeare, and I'm your friend, it must be the truth. I hope I get cast as Mido, honestly.

If they do make 8 games with the Halo name, they'll probably just be spinoffs like Halo Wars, if even that.

By spinoffs, he means games that aren't directly related to the story, but utilize it in some other way.

For example, Mario Strikers Charged is a spinoff of the Mario Series.

In all honesty, Madden games really are repetitive. But then again, so is just about every other sports game. Except for the Tony Hawk games.

The whole point of the yearly Madden games is to be able to play with the most recent team roster; that's why they're so popular. If you're a die-hard football fan, you might be willing to pay for the most recent version of the game every year. That's why the Madden series is so successful.
Title: Re:Discuss E3 2008!
Post by: Axel on July 21, 2008, 04:07:11 PM
Yea, I also said the newer version's have more feature's then they do in the previous one. Take 2006, I believe that was when you could finally start doing a carrer. and in 2007. You could take carrer to a whole new level. You could load your college carrer once you're a senior or junior grad. and take it right into the madden Carrer. I my self think that is pretty cool. Hopefully they'll have something more cool. Like NCAA football 09 has online dynasty mode(which means you can do a coaching carrer online against all your friends or other random people you may not know). I for one think the games improve a lot. And yes, I like to get the games because of the roster updates, but they don't always update the rosters perfectly, like ryan mallet left michigan, yet in the game, he still plays for them. But oh well. still a great game! I hope madden 09 has the same success. And I see Brett Farve finally made the cover. :D

That comic was just so... dead on. It's incredible.

I never thought vegetables could be used to so accurately portray Nintendo's current mindset.

Bravo, Mr. Ramsoomair. Bravo.

I'm on my PS3 right now, playing Metal Gear Solid 4, so I'll have them up later tonight.

Can you play a game and surf the internet at the same time on the PS3? If so, sweet!

No, I just turned it off to download the Metal Gear Database and check the internet.

Oh, dang. They should implement that, that'd be awesome.

Oh, well, the PS3 is still more appealing to me than the 360.

I agree with Shika, I dont think it was all that bad. Its not new news when others systems get the better end of the deal. I hardly even touch my DS. Im looking into things like X-Box 360. That system and the PS3 we're treated like kings.

The thing is, though, we were promised games for the hardcore gamer. The most hardcore we got was the new Animal Crossing game.

Well Im sorry to say that I have a firm belief that Nintendo is not that T for teen. Talking to Animals and paying mortgage to a raccoon is about as hardcore as it gets. Trust me, you ever seen that raccoon's mortgage payments? HUGE.

The game doesn't have to be rated "T." Look at Super Mario Galaxy! That was an "E" game, but it's a lot of fun for all kinds of gamers! Not to mention it didn't have motion-control overkill like so many Wii games do now...

Galaxy IS a good example but either way, its not exactly a (in my opinion) the kind of hardcore game people want. I think there are people that still cling to the idea that Nintendo will release something like Silent Hill or Call of Duty. I think when we were promised HARDCORE games people took it the wrong way. And we have to take into consideration that even people like Miyamoto get artist's block. Maybe the company is running out of ideas?

When Nintendo promises "hardcore" games, they usually mean something in the neighborhood of Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, or Mario.

A key Nintendo franchise, basically. If you want games that are really hardcore, like Call fop Duty or Street Fighter, sorry to say, but Nintendo isn't the place to go.

I... uh... no. >: As much of a fan of Sirent Hirru and NINTENDO as I am, I can honestly say something like that would be no good.

I mean, I love both Team Silent and the Nintendo team, but... honestly? The two operate totally differently. A GC port might not be that bad, but... I'd be a little wary of the game coming out to the wii. (of course, this is just a personal thing-nervous hands/bad sensor bar reception makes Fisk piss-poor at these things)

And I don't think they usually announce ports as anything significant in these sort of gaming events-so I'm just assuming you meant Nintendo making them in your post. O:

I'm hoping that at E3 2009 Sega will totally surprise the heck out of everyone and announce that they're making a new console. That'd be a dream-come-true for me...

Of course, if they announced something like "We're reviving SegaNet! You can now go online with your Dreamcast again!," I'd be incredibly happy then, too.

I think he meant new releases. --- that was talking to Mags who BALEETED HIS POST

Also, I really needed to post what I got in my e-mail:

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Silent Hill 3 or other games in the PlayStation 2 > Adventure category have also purchased Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour. For this reason, you might like to know that Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour will be released on August 12, 2008.... "

I... uh, it's not really related to E3 itself, but.... i'm ttly lookin forward to that game right there. Since, you know, it's so similar to Silent Hill.

Amazon.com is pretty dumb sometimes... Of course, maybe that says something about the people who buy Silent Hill games... Except for you, of course.

Honest to god I've never played silent hill. I've seen the movie and read about the game but I've never played.

Well, for some reason or another, my internet crashes whenever I try to go to the site I had the Shigeru quote, so to paraphrase:

Shigeru says that they (Nintendo) won't be using e3 to appeal to the core gamer anymore and will instead use it to appeal to a broader audience with Wii add-ons.

Then maybe their using that big Japanese "e3" as a way to get things across?

Ah, so there's hope... Guess they may do it at the Tokyo Game Show, then.
