E3 is almost here and while it's been watered down from the grandiose convention it used to be, it's still the best event of the year that gamers can look forward to.
What games are you most looking forward to see more of? Personally, I'd love to see the first God of War 3 trailer unveiled with some gameplay footage.
And any big announcements you think may be made? Maybe more price cuts, a new psp, a new Wii accessory, etc.?
Looking forward to checking out the sports games for this fall... or reading about them rather since I wont be there
Yeah, NHL 09, even though being a sports game, is one of my most anticipated games.
Last year's game was the first critically acclaimed sports game across the board in years and the additional features they're adding in 09 look terrific.
Sucks that they closed it to the public. I pretty much keep up with it via G4 and my dvr
I don't expect any big announcements that haven't already been leaked.
Looking forward to Gears single-player, seeing how God of War looks, and I'm curious to see how Dragon Age is looking (no idea why it's PC only, though).
and I am sure we will see more about Spore. I mean we've only been seeing it for 3 years now.
Looking forward to seeing more Little Big Planet. More info regarding Rock Band 2. Some playable demo of Killzone 2 would be cool.
God of War definitely. More Gears of War 2 footage too.
Man so much. Interestingly on the weekly Gamespot show, one of the head editors said he was most excited about an announcement from Nintendo that he wasn't allowed to reveal. I'm not a massive fan of the Wii but I'll be curious to see what it is that has him excited.
I always enjoy E3 time.
Rockband 2.
i don't think we will see anything that groundbreaking.

E3 '08: 60GB Xbox 360 official, 20GB discounted and discontinued
After long declining to comment on "rumors and speculation" about the Xbox 360's $299 price cut--even when such "rumors" came from the Wall Street Journal--Microsoft has finally come clean. Today, the company formally announced it is dropping the price of the 20GB Xbox 360 Pro to $299 in the US and Canada, down $50 from its prior $349 cost.
However, the price cut isn't as straightforward a story as had been assumed. In a move reminiscent of Sony's discounting and then discontinuing of the 60GB PlayStation 3 at last year's E3 Media & Business Summit, the $299 price point will only be in effect while supplies last. That's because Microsoft is phasing out the 20GB 360 and replacing it with a long-rumored new model with a 60GB hard drive. The 60GB 360 will go on sale in "early August" at the 20GB's former $349 price point.
In a press release titled "Xbox 360 Console Now Offers Triple the Storage," Xbox director of product management Albert Penello played up the fact the 60GB 360 will cost as much as the 20GB used to. "We know consumers need more and more space to store the amazing digital content Xbox 360 offers, and we're giving it to them at no extra charge," he said.
Contrary to other rumors, Microsoft is not discounting its other two Xbox 360 models: The $279 hard drive-less Arcade and the $449 120GB Elite. Today's move will likely only have a temporary effect on the current console sales struggle, which has seen the PS3 running neck-and-neck with the 360 this year. Currently, Sony's non-backwards-compatible 40GB PS3 costs $399, while the full-featured 80GB PS3 retails for $499. The cheapest and most popular console on the market remains the single-SKU Nintendo Wii, which retails for $249.
lol @ the Arcade still being $279...unbelievable.
lol yeah.
I wonder though, if my 360 craps out with the RROD in a couple of years, do I get it replaced with the 60gb model? Would be nice if that was the case.
"and I am sure we will see more about Spore. I mean we've only been seeing it for 3 years now."
It was cool the first time I saw it but I lost interest in it.
"Man so much. Interestingly on the weekly Gamespot show, one of the head editors said he was most excited about an announcement from Nintendo that he wasn't allowed to reveal. I'm not a massive fan of the Wii but I'll be curious to see what it is that has him excited"
lol probably some new accessory. I am hyped for one Wii game though - Mad World. Crazy art style and brutal, graphic violence. I want to see gameplay footage of it.
Another game not really mentioned much is (hopefully) some playable Ghostbusters content.
The IP is promising and seems like a great idea. Hopefully it isn't fucked up but some gameplay would be awesome to witness.
Only a few hours to the Microsoft preso. w00t
Lots of stuff on Spike tonight (competing with G4 for televised coverage:
"Hey all -- Wanted to let you know that tonight we will also be world premiering the first gameplay footage from Infamous on Spike. This is a last minute surprise so I wanted to pass along word. 9 - 11 PM on Spike, alongside Bioshock PS3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, the E3 trailers for Resistance 2 (before the Sony briefing tomorrow) and the epic gameplay trailer for Prince of Persia....two minutes of gameplay. Very cool! Hope you enjoy."
Can't wait for Prince of Persia gameplay...every screen from that game has given me a boner.
MUA 2? Sweet! Didn't even know they were making a sequel.
I'm also interested to see actual gameplay of the new POP game.
Speaking of Ubisoft... I wonder if they will show Splinter Cell: Conviction. That game was supposed to be out already when it was talked about last year and it was surprisingly absent from this year's Ubidays event.
nothing new as far as I have heard so far
As far as games, I'm hoping to see more of Dragon Age, because I'm a huge Bioware fanboy and they've yet to let me down (cept for NWN 2). I also would like to know what the f*ck is up with the following titles:
Alan Wake
Huxley
And most importantly, I want to see more of the UFC game than Rampage vs Forrest.
more UFC, more Fallout 3, more Gears 2 , More Fable 2 , more alan wake ....
Is it me but does RE5 not seem as scary with the white and mexican zombies? They should've left them all black zombies. I'm not trying to be racist, I'm just saying it makes the game more realistic, being set in Africa and all.
ya but imagine the lawsuit....
Its ok when you kill polish people .... but dont kill black people ... racism at its most ironic.
