Now for the SE guessing game

Square Enix USA, perhaps taking a hint from all of Square Enix Japan’s Twitter talk, is teasing an unannounced game.

“Oh and working on stuff for an unannounced game,” Sonia Im, Assistant Director of Public Relations at Square Enix tweeted. “Think people are going to be shocked and stoked ”

Shocked and stoked? Xenogears 2 would fit that description for me, but I’ll curb my expectations now. There are a ton of games Square Enix USA could announce for North America like Nanashi no Game and The 3rd Birthday. None of those would be “shocking” though. Perhaps, this is something brand new.

Before you post your guess in the comments remember Square Enix owns Eidos. Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Kane & Lynch 2, those are all Square Enix properties.

The "Unannounced Titles" section will probably include previously mentioned titles like H.A.W.X. 2, Just Dance 2, Dance On Broadway, Raving Rabbids: Travel In Time, and that new fitness game.

To be fair people say one of those things about almost every sequel made for any game.

I mean, it is a pretty fine line to walk.

Which was kind of the point.

No matter what people do, it will hardly ever live up to the expectations of everyone.

I just hope it actually looks like something they've spent 4 years on

Figured, spruce this thread up with random questions until e3, maybe.

So with e3 in just 2 weeks now, what do you expect Microsoft to announce?

I ask because going into e3, we know about the next Halo, the next Gears of War, the next Call of Duty, and those are arguably, MS' biggest franchises this gen.

Will the focus mainly be on Project Natal?

[Angrist]

I don't keep track of MS or Sony.

For Nintendo, I'm slowly starting to give up hope on Pikmin 3 and some other semi-announced games (Kid Icarus?).

For Nintendo, the presentation will probably be:

15 minutes of how succesful Wii and DS have been. (They show some good new games like SMG2, MH3, Sin and Punishment...)
15-20 minutes of 3DS.
20 minutes of new games for Wii and DS.
5 minutes of Zelda.

Rockstar to not show any new games during e3.
Puts a minor damper on my e3 2010 will show the reveal of GTA V.

Epic Mickey

Epic Mickey

The Wii-exclusive Epic Mickey may be seeing a graphics overhaul due to complaints from fans. The French site GameKyo (via CVG) reports that we'll see a new visual style unveiled at E3. Disney sent word that it "doesn't comment on speculation," but if the rumor is true we'll know in only two short weeks anyway.

The apparent reason for the change is the disparity between concept artwork and screenshots. Fans have felt the game could more closely imitate the stylized art. The developers may be struggling a bit to imitate the style using the more limited power of the Wii, but if the rumor pans out we'll see at E3 how well they've managed to pull it off.

Epic Mickey better adopt that epic concept art style... The screenshots so far are to puke over.

[BreakABone]

Here is Hudson's rundown

BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion on the Nintendo DS™

BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion – Battle Fortress on Wii™

Bomberman Live: Battlefest on Xbox LIVE® Arcade

Bonk: Brink of Extinction on Xbox LIVE Arcade

DECA SPORTS 3 on Wii

Lost In Shadow on Wii

Oops! Prank Party on Wii

Activision has sent a mail over, announcing that its senior management and Bobby Kotick will be giving a corporate presentation to analysts during E3.

The presentation will be broadcast over the net, and will go live on Monday, June 14, at around 7.00pm PST/10.00pm EST, and to watch it, you will need to sign up here.

In case you can’t stay up that late, it will be re-broadcast three hours later, which will be early morning for those in the UK and Europe.

However, the presentation will be archived for a year, so just watch it when you feel like it, honestly.

The mail didn’t say what was going to be discussed, but you can pretty much guarantee it’ll have some financials included due to it being especially for analysts.

So, expect forward looking statements and projects in the pipeline to be discussed.

Activision Press Conf

Sega's big Natal game?

Natal is suppose to have a big event on June 13th, one of the games that is suppose to launch with is “Sonic Free Riders” that is rumored to be an XBLA game.

To be honest, I hated Sonic Riders and if this is anything like it, I do not care. Sort of weird that its a XBLA title. We will keep you posted.

Dude, Valve says they've got a surprise in store. Are you ready to be as disappointed as I am when the surprise turns out to be L4D3 or some bullshit?

Edit:

My predictions about this years e3 is that a bunch of people who are for some reason loyal to a specific system will blow their wads and then shit all over the other systems.

I've had my sperm certified with a Nintendo Seal of Quality last week.

And I have someone writing terrible jokes against MS and Sony.

[Typhoid]

For the record I was talking in general about most fans who live and die by a certain system.


Personally, I don't like E3.
It's a giant circle-jerk. They're trying to jizz all over everyone else presenting at E3 to try make them look stupid and shout "Ha, he's covered in semen", but in the end they all wind up with giant mouthfuls of cum, and the things that should get the most attention [if anything] (like anything other than the big 3) aren't given enough respect just because they didn't jerk off in front of thousands of people.

We don't need some super video game summit to tell us what is coming out. It's turned into a production that doesn't reveal anything more than releasing a trailer or info normally would do. Waste of money, waste of time.

[Angrist]

That's what it looks like to us, the general public. I'm pretty sure it's a different story for the people of the industry.
And it's not half as bad as 5 years ago, with tons of silly booth babes.


Do we know when the press conference of the big 3 are held? I hope to watch them live, but there's a 9 hours time difference...

[BreakABone]

So I found these two morsels

Activision remaking Goldeneye for the Wii?

And Dead Space extraction being ported to PSN/XBLA?
