This Bout is Sceduled For One Fall...
 

Well, this is the time of the year, where e3 rumors start to fly faster than a fighter jet. So in an early attempt to capitalize on the e3 hype and make myself tons of money (I don't know how just yet), I'm making the first e3 thread.

now this is just based on speculation, a few announcements here and there and hersay, but it will be the basis of the thread.

*In best Howard Finkel voice*

Introducing first hailing from Redmond, Washingtin weighing in at a whole lot, the big, bad, big (I know I mentioned it before) Xbox.

Now that is based on the speculation of some poster at another form a few weeks back. Wll his predictions come true?

"Now coming down the aisle, he is the Undisputed, undefeated, Heavyweight Champion of the Videogame World, wearing his trademark midnight blue and black, ladies and gentlemen please welcome the PS2"

Now that list comes curiousity of Stu's rumor report in the Ps2 forum.

"And finally making his way down the ring, the crusierweight of the videogame world, the home of ICONs, the one, the only, the GameCube"

Now that is based on my own speculation from a few weeks ago (One of the vacation I had).

Anyhow, based on these tentative and rumored line-up, who do you think will have the best e3 showing and why?

Gamecube because many classics like StarFox (the real StarFox game), MarioKart, Pokémon, etc. are finally going to be making their premiers on the Gamecube. Gamecube's first year out was just a warm-up and time to get settled/adjusted. This year, the Gamecube is going to perform as intended.

PS2 because I've been waiting for my next Chrono game forever.

I'm gonna have to say Gamecube because of Animal Crossing 2:D and other great exclusives. XBox in a close 2nd.

Animal Crossing 2 being confirmed to an offline game kind of disappointed me. We better be able to upload our town in AC2..

doubt it.. :)

Where did you hear this?:eek: I haven't heard that AC2 is confirmed offline only. Is there a link so that I may see?

Yes, I'm also very skeptical. Creditable source please?

Haha. Uploading = Servers = $$$. You'll be able to play online before you'll have storage space.

Anyway, bad thing about this E3 is I won't be able to play any of the games they show. That sucks. The only thing I really give a damn about is the games that will be out before August.

Well in defense of his statements, he never claimed the game wouldn't be online nor did he say it was online.

And isn't he a kind man to make a game that his wife could play? I wonder if they pay for it.....

I know he didn't say it wouldn't have online capabilities for sure, it just seems like he was diminishing the chances for online plans with AC2..

He's basically saying that it could be on or offline. Cost might be a little problem, but Nintendo needs online with this to drop all skepticism about online gaming.

I'll probably be interested in the most games for Gamecube, let's see...

X-Box:

-I don't really give a **** about any of the games on that list, maybe "Conker: He Came, He Saw, He Conkered will be video" will be interesting for me...

PS2:

-Metal Gear Solid 3(I don't care too much though)
-3D Castlevania
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(~!!)

GC:

-Mario Kart (Maybe I'll care about it)
-Mario Tennis (Maybe I'll care about it)
-Mario 128 (Maybe...)
-Ultimate Muscleman (Interested in)
-The New Sonic Game(Depends)
-1080: Avalanche
-F-Zero GC
-WWE WrestleMania XIX
-The Donkey Kong game, Nintendo is supposedly working on

I really only care about WM XIX, 1080, Ultimate Muscleman, and F-Zero. I wanna see more **** on those games. I REALLY wanna see a new DK game, but most of all... TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA ****ING TURTLES~!! I can't ****ing WAIT to see this game.

I gotta say Xbox's line up looks mighty good, this time around. :D
As well as PS2( I just wanna play those rpgs ) and Gc's line up.

--------------------------------------------------------------


This E3 is gonna be hot!!! :D

Well, I think I should clean up the lists a bit more...

I really need to research the Ps2's list.

Why is the PS2 list the only one I believe?

I don't know, tell us.

I think because the Ps2's list is a bit smaller and a whole lot more focused on announced games than the other two, like I said at the beginning most of it is speclution.

research, penguin? bullsh*t...you stole my content.

next time, try to make it look a little more professional...the whole copy and paste thing sticks out like a sore thumb.

pwnd.

someone needs to read before they comment, I stated that I just took them form various posts, and to even point it out, here is a quote form the Ps2 section

So jerky next time you care to speak on something, make sure it's accurate first.

Sorry I came in a lil late... Um, methinks GCN has the victory for amount of games I am hyped to see and the amount of games I personally want.

buuuut

Nintendo has found a way to dissapoint me at the last two E3's and the "last" Spaceworld by leaving things out that I was pumped up to see.

I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I guess I didn't make it clear that I was being sarcastic...do you honestly think I'd be pissed off that you copied content from one of my posts? bah! :p

Boy Stu, you sure had me fooled. :p

Well according to Konami, TMNT (w00t!) will be Mutli-Console, coming out this october for the PS2, GCN, XBX, PC/Mac, and GBA although I'm scpetical about the PC/Mac annoucment.

As for GCN:here are my predictions, I'll see if I can get my brother to do PS2.

GCN Predictions:

- The GCN "Mobile Suit Gundam" game from BanDai will be playable, focus around the newest series for the franchise in the USA, "Mobile Suit ZETA Gundam" and will be of better quality than it's PS2 counterparts. (In Japan a new Gundam Series entitled Gundam SEED has just started airing in December, Zeta Gundam is form 1985 and NP has a Gundma game on their list of games coming to the states this year).

- The GCN TMNT game will be the same as the PS2/XBX Version and will be Demoed on all three consoles, as well as GBA with some sort of Nintendo-Exclusive like GBA/GCN link Capability to play an old TMNT game, while the other consoles will have ther extras that differ frommthe GCN version.

- Another New Zelda game will be announced, it will be the "mature" Zelda, and a follow-up annoucment will list another "Bonus DIsc" ofr pre-orders that will come with an updated version of Zelda: MM

- Nintendo will lak early system spec and designs for their newxt console and confoimr the name "Gamecube II" while Sony announces PS3 and Microsoft annouces Xbox2.

- The ESRB will announce a change in "Ratings Policies" and will announce some new way to allow AO (Adults Only) games ot be sold in various retail stores with other Adult Material, Nintendo will anounce at least one Adult-Oriented game form a 3rd party; microsft will follow suit, sony will denounce there catagory afyter the BMX XXX Disaster.

- The GBA SP will be given yet anohter successor, the GBA II, with a similar deisgn, and a release date of Mid-2005.

- Sega will announce another Sonic Game, and a PSO III will be announced.

- SC II will be Playable.

- A "Power Rangers" game will be annoucned for a Nintendo Console System for the first time since 2000 (4 years ago Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue bombed on the N64), as well as a GBA version of the latest incarnationof the show "Power Rangers: Ninja Storm"; Sony will also announce a game form the franchise, both will only be in Video form.

- Mario Party 5 will be announced and playable.

- Nintendo will shock the world and announce a reissue of the aging NES for a 2005 release to celebrate the systems 20th anniversary, or at the very least, some sort of "NES Games Library" with all the NES games for the GCN in limited quantites and a Platinum/Silver Shell.

- A sequel to SMS will be announced, and the first level will be Video only.

- The Limited Edition Platinum GCN's will become a regular item, no longer "limited" and Platinum-Colored controllers form the Big "N" will surface.

- A succsor to the wavebird will be announced with a Rumble Feature.

- A new "Star Trek" game will hit the GCN.

- LucasArts will annoucne a third Rouge Squadron game, or a port of the Original; maybe both.

- Nintendo will announced a new "Version" of the GCN, siilar tot he "Newstyle" NES and SNES, it will be available five motnhs fomr E3.

- Several games will be delayed, including a few games announced at E3.

- A Poke'mon Online game will be announced for the USA.

- Nintendo will announce that the Triforcer Arcade chipste and the GCN F-Zero agme as well as trhe Arcade game are ready for release and will have playable demos.

- Sony and Nintendo will drop the suit over the "Playstation" name, and in shock, Sony will have to carry all new PS2's with a note inside the insturction book that reads "Playstaion name Copyright 2003 Nintendo", shocking many, or a cash settlement will be announced.

- Nintendo will have achange fo heart and create an Emulatr for the PC, unfortunatly it won't be free, and the service will require some sort of tie-in to the GCN boradband adapter; games will be "Burnable" to a CD-R but only a CD-R and will require special Nintendo Software to work.

- EA will announce that a new Bond game is in the works and will show a storyline better than Nightfire, people will beocme skeptical and the game will appear as a sleeper hit.

- Nintendo will release a "Linux Programming Kit" much like the PS2 kit, as well as relaseing a Linux progtramming Kit, it will tie-in to Nintendo's "Project Fun" service witha C-style language and run only in the GCN.

- Final Fantasy: Cruystal Chroniclaes and FF: Tactis for the GBA will be announced for the USA.

Take note these are only some SEPCULATIONS I have, they are NOT FACTUAL except where noted, the TMNT game IS MULTI-CONSOLE and the GUNDAM GAME HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED!! Evcerything else is PURE SPECULATION includng HOW THOSE GAMES WILL BE PUBLISHED. Someof my ideas are far out, but then again, so is seeing Sonic on a Nintendo system, and I belive Nintendo has alot of secrets for this years E3 that they aren't talking about. With that said, I'd like someone to specualte for PS2 or XBox next.

^^

nice "predictions"

although some of those are PURE SPECULATION, I'm sure a lot of them will be "shown" at this year's "E3".

Talking about predictions what about that annual predict E3 thread that usually gets made around this time?


If people still want to do it........I'll help with the calculation of the predictions....in fact I might do the whole calculation thingy and get someone to double check it for me.

Dreal? where are you?

I already had plans on doing the E3 predictions for this year, fingersman. Sorry... I still havent PMed Dreal but I know exactly how it works. If you want you could help me with the questions.
