E3
E3 is right around the corner. The big thing that may go down is the release dates for the PS3 and the Wiiveloution. Anybody planning on going?

I'm not going but I'm working on a game that's going to be there. I have high hopes for the whole event. It's always one of my favorite time of the year.

By that, after May 9th (when the conferences, and in turn the bigger announcements of the event) this thread can easily be used for anything E3 related. Rather then the thread you posted entitled "E3 2006 Expectations".

Not to mention the original question asked was if anyone planned on going.

The other thread can also be a general purpose E3 thread, as both contain speculation.

The question isn't relevant, as most posters on this forum do not qualify to attend E3.

As you can see from the initial post, the main idea of this thread is the poster's speculation.

Sony's E3 press conference is underway right now and while there hasn't been any HUGE announcements, I'll do a keynote play by play the best I can.

Some things so far:
The HDD will be available with every system from the launch.

RSS channel, expanded UMD video profile, Voice-over IP, camera and GPS support being added to PSP in future updates.

Hirai says the "clear black" color system (PS3) will be available at launch.

Little things are mentioned about the online service saying it will be free and that it will be like "air conditioning for a car." Meaning a standard feature.

The PSP will be able to emulate PS1 games straight from a memory stick.

People can pick up for "The PlayStation Card" at retailers, which will allow them to buy additional content.

Phil Harrison shows the online store interface for the PS3. He shows an example of how it will work using Singstar for the PS3, scrolling through dozens of songs from Billy Joel to Destiny's Child. The interface includes a price ($0 for now to keep the pricing strategy secret) as well as other information about the song. There's also the option to see who else is on Singstar, and customize the user's background.

They showed a video package of a bunch of games and then went into two specific new games.

Eight Days is a GTA style 3rd person shooter that looked photo-realistic with amazing animations and life-like features. Naughty Dog shows a new gungle style shooting game which looked pretty nice as well.

They also showed a lot of the new Gran Turismo if anyone is interested in that.

Just a quick update, they have shown a handful of games from most genres. There's plenty of shooters (first and third), a lot of RPGs, sport games, and some fighting games as well. They all look brilliant compared to everything shown so far.

While this wasn't part of the PS3 conference, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XIII for the PS3 and it will be directed by Yoshinori Kitase who did VI, VII, VIII, and X.

They're showing a video of NBA Live 07 right now with features like footplanting and character response. On the PS2 players could only move at 45 degree angles but on the PS3 they have full 360 degree movement with bending.

It's worthy to mention that all these games that are being played live are being played with what looks like a Dual Shock 2 controller.

They just finished showing a video recap of the E3 package which included Madden, NBA Live, and Tiger Woods PGA. Each looked great. They are showing a video of Final Fantasy XIII (which will come as FFXIII and FFvsXIII). It doesn't look quite as good as Advent Children, but it looks pretty close. If that gives you something to base your judgements off of.

They are now showing a Metal Gear Solid 4 video. WOW.

As soon as the MGS4 trailer gets up, I suggest everyone who is a fan to watch it. There is a huge surprise at the end, almost. They are also spelling it without "L" and instead an upsidedown 7. Like META7GEARSO7ID4...upsidedown of course.

They just showed the new PS3 controller and it looks practically identical to the DualShock 2. Wireless, as well as wired. The best thing yet...

It has a sensor inside. You don't need a reciever at all and don't need to move the D-Pad or Analog as you can just move the controller and move in game, much like the Wii controller, but without a remote style. That doesn't mean you have to as the D-Pad and analog sticks are still there. Bluetooth and all that etc.

Quote from GameSpot:

A demo trailer shows a crate, hopping around of its own accord. It breaks open and the PS3 controller is inside. He lifts the controller up, and the controller on the screen lifts up. With no external sensor required, he can move the controller in six degrees of movement.

Also a picture of the Eight Days game I mentioned earlier.

I seriously can't wait for November.

499 is about what I was expecting. 20G is good enough for me, as I really want it just for gaming stuff (and I want to put my own music into games damnit)

ALso, it looks like we get the major selling point of the Wii controller, minus the wierd ass remote. Plus, it has normal controls so it doesn't have to be used. Slick.

I need to pre-order this baby.

That's awesome about PS3's controller, I've been really skeptical about Wii's contoller and all, and it seems PS3 has taken the good from it and retained the classic "controller" feel... I'm pretty much 98% positive I'm getting a Wii, but I'm still kinda interested in the PS3.

World of Warcraft Movie Buzz
MMORPG getting its due on the silver screen?
by IGN FilmForce

May 8, 2006 - World of Warcraft on the big screen? It could happen... and soon. IGN FilmForce has learned that Legendary Pictures, the production company behind Superman Returns and Batman Begins, may turn the massively-multiplayer online gaming hit into a feature film. The official announcement could come as early as Tuesday -- timed to take advantage of E3 buzz.



Other flicks on Legendary's slate are Where the Wild Things Are, Paradise Lost, 10,000 B.C., M. Night's Lady in the Water and the next films in the rejuvenated Superman and Batman franchises.

The World of Warcraft movie would likely be distributed by Warner Bros. under their multi-year distribution deal with the production company which is topped by Chris Lee (Jerry Maguire, The Mask of Zorro, Apt Pupil).

Keep it on IGN FilmForce for the latest developments!

Interesting. There's a button between Start and Select. I wonder if it's for the tilt? (The small button and light to indicate analog on is gone, so I"m guessing it's always on)

I wonder what the USB is for? Also, I wonder if the little lights on the top are suppose to correspond to what controller port the control is for.

Yeah, pretty much. The 1-4 on the top is what controller port you're on and the USB port will most likely be for charging or just playing wired. The Playstation logo button is probably (enough to say it would be) a "home" button that takes you to the PS3 Network. It might even be able to turn on and off the console without getting up.

The controller is said to be lighter then the current PS2 controllers but it doesn't support the rumbling feature anymore. They said that it interferes with the tilting. Not to mention they were sued for using it in the PS2 so that's probably another reason they decided to move to the tilt action.

Not really, I'll quote someone on another board who know about the technical side:

Well, it does seem to be a reaction to Nintendo's controller, but a really lousy one. The Wii controller can detect position, orientation, and velocity on one hand, and acceleration on both hands. The PS3 controller can detect up to 3 degrees of orientation.

World of Warcraft Movie Buzz
MMORPG getting its due on the silver screen?
by IGN FilmForce

May 8, 2006 - World of Warcraft on the big screen? It could happen... and soon. IGN FilmForce has learned that Legendary Pictures, the production company behind Superman Returns and Batman Begins, may turn the massively-multiplayer online gaming hit into a feature film. The official announcement could come as early as Tuesday -- timed to take advantage of E3 buzz.



Other flicks on Legendary's slate are Where the Wild Things Are, Paradise Lost, 10,000 B.C., M. Night's Lady in the Water and the next films in the rejuvenated Superman and Batman franchises.

The World of Warcraft movie would likely be distributed by Warner Bros. under their multi-year distribution deal with the production company which is topped by Chris Lee (Jerry Maguire, The Mask of Zorro, Apt Pupil).

Keep it on IGN FilmForce for the latest developments!

Verant/Sony tried forever to make Everquest into a movie, but failed. I'm still on the fence about this, but it would be cool.

I saw something similiar to that on IGN. IT basically said that the PS3 controller can do things invovling tilt (driving, flying, probably movement if tilt is set to forward, but that's my assumption.), but it doesn't have the full range, so you can't swing it like a sword, or point as a specific spot on the screen for it to do something. Still, it'll be interesting to see how it works. It could be interesting for GTA esque games, and other little aspects of games. Like, in a FPS, front and back tilt could be forward and backwards, left and right could be strafing, freeing up an analog stick for 360 turning ( so if someone was behind you, say at a 7'o clock posistion, you could his the corresponding spot on the analog and turn to look at that spot specifically.
