I seriously cant wait for E3. i prefer it over the oscars or the grammy's imo hehe. why dont they show e3 in the TV here in the UK? the game industry is as big as the movie industry now!

anyways check this out
With E3 just around the corner it’s not entirely unusual to see plenty of confidential information leak ahead of E3 press conferences. Whether this information is legit is anyone’s guess, but there’s certainly quite a few interesting titbits that’s sure to excite many if this list of Project Cafe related information is true. What do you guys think, plain fake or legitimate information?

The System:

Uses a custom IBM triple-core CPU running at 3.6GHz per core
The development kit contains 1gb RAM, but Nintendo have hinted that the console will actually have 1.5gb
Nintendo will be releasing games that will run 1080p natively. Sources say that with Nintendo’s art style and the power the system has, the games look ‘stunning’.
The system does run on AMD R700 card, but the architecture is slightly different and the clock speeds are much higher.
The System resembles JPN/EU SNES machines in color only and not in shape
The development kit is about the size of a 360, not the console
Close sources say it’s as if Nintendo is in “damage control” with 3rd party developers.
Nintendo is trying really hard to get 3rd parties on board to develop games and have offered incentives such as not releasing big-title Nintendo games in holiday seasons to compete against 3rd party titles.
Nintendo went to many 3rd party developers on guidance on what they were after with the new console in terms of system specs, controller and online system.

The Controller:

Nintendo have been keeping this really quiet and have only given developers controller prototypes to start designing games. However, the final controller build with all the features have only been given to Nintendo 1st and 2nd party developers for now.
Nintendo had planned on inserting a screen on the controller back when the Gamecube was in development, but opted out due to technology not being advanced enough to be functional
The controller that’s been given to developers has a large 5.7inch hd (960x640pixel) screen, 2 analogue sticks, 4 face buttons, 3 middle buttons (select/home/start in that order), 2 shoulder buttons and 2 triggers.
The triggers aren’t as deep as the 360’s triggers, but have plenty of push
The big thing about the screen is that it’s a multi-touch screen, contains it’s own battery and is detachable from the controller unit
The screen when detached contains its own memory so developers can store data on it, so gamers can play whatever the developer designs for the screen-only use
When the screen is attached to the controller it works by streaming content directly from the console
Nintendo are giving developers ideas other than just having it function as a quick menu screen for games while attached, or as a simple tamagochi-like mini-game when detached
The controller contains a gyroscope, but motion controls isn’t the focus of the controller like it was for the Wii

Games:

Nintendo will release a Mario platformer as a launch title which hasn’t been done since the N64.
The Mario platformer looks to be the spiritual successor to Mario 64.
Gamefreak and EAD are hard at work developing a Pokemon online RPG.
The Pokemon RPG is not an MMO, but does have a large online emphasis and will be Nintendo’s flagship title when showing off the online capabilities of the console.
There will be at least one new IP Nintendo will reveal at E3.
Nintendo is working on a new Zelda, but didn’t reveal anything to developers.

Other:

Some developers have had the Wii 2 dev kit for going on 2 years now. When the Wii 2 is released in late, that’s 3 years to develop games on
Because of such generous development time, Nintendo have pushed 3rd parties to develop high quality games to be released at or near launch.
Nintendo have sourced an external company to develop their online network, which the developer has commented, surpasses both the PS3 and 360 in terms of speed and functionality.
Nintendo is pushing for the console to be online 24/7 and have seamless online integration with many of their games
Friend codes are confirmed to be gone
Nintendo has been toying with the idea of a game where the main character is your Mii
Nintendo will be pushing their Pokemon RPG to showcase their online network
Rockstar are supposedly hard at work in bringing on of their “most popular” titles to the console.

Please O' Mighty Thor, let Ubisoft announce another Rainbow Six game.

My heart just fluttered a little bit. :)



I admit I'm a little bit eager to really see what Nintendo has up their sleeve with this new system of theirs as well.

There's a lot of good and potentially great games slated between now and the end of this year that I'm VERY eager to finally see and hear more about.

I think this is going to be a hell of an E3. :)
 
If Valve drops any little hint of the existance of a new Half Life game I'll be pretty damn happy.
 
Valve isn't going to be at E3, so unless Gabe announces HL3 at one of the big console press conferences (YUCK), then don't get your hopes up.

In other news apparently Microsoft is going to announce Halo 4.
 
Can we get updates in the thread for those of us who are at work and can't watch/listen?
 
New Dead Island trailer from E3 here...features a new plotline and character, and some small snips of gameplay footage and grotesque violence and gore.

For those at work, basically a zombie gatecrashes a rap concert on the island. I won't spoil the rest.
 
Ok the MS conference is showing a single-player level of CODMW3. Graphics look decent but the sound effects for the guns are exactly the same as CODMW2...so they are bad. Gameplay is standard, almost on-rails COD gameplay.

How the hell can they justify charging $60 for SO MUCH reused coding, content, etc? Good god...I just bought TW2 for $40, and even though it isn't really my cup of tea, just the effort that went into the writing for the quests seems greater than that of the entire MW3 game.
 
Totally impressed by Tomb Raider, especially the scene when Lara exist the cave. Impressive.

Mass Effect 3 with Kinect... weird :confused:

I hope this doesn't mean the controls is gonna suck on PC

Ghost Recon... and Kinect again

I thought tomb raider looked dumb. Ill wait till i can play it. But i wasnt impressed with it.
 
I don't understand why they're hyping all this "You can do all these voice commands!" stuff, it's not as intuitive or fast as a controller.
 
Wednesday alone is worth the wait: For Rage and especially Skyrim! Both games are shaping up to be epic, with Skyrim taking the obvious lead :)
 
Why are they pimping the voice ability so much? They could do that with the headset YEARS Ago (IE Endwar) an dMS could have easily did the voice stuff with that.

It's not new, innovative or anything. Hell I'm gonna go ahead and say that it'll be unabl eto understand some people and when you want it to go to one simple thing it'll go to something else like most of the voice recoginition things do.

Because there are to many suckers in the gaming world. People go ape shit for it and will fork over 60$ for it every year. I would never pay 60$ for a game. They just aren't worth it.
 
Wow... this is the worst press conference ever ;/ I wanted to see some cool shit from MS - my 360 has been gathering dust for soooo long.

looks like ME has officially jumped the shark....how did Bioware go to shit so quickly???
 
It would be funny if Nintendo's presentation tomorrow is targeted mostly at hardcore gamers after this from MS.

HAh, I can see it and it would be so fucking sweet and Ironic.

If Nintendo said "Casual/wii-style gaming is fun but dying" an dthen came out with a new console targetted at high end games and finally give us a new MATURE zelda with a true open world and things that made even TES look shitty.

Then MS and Sony are like "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT."
 
This is the worst bullshit I've ever sat through. I just rage quit. This is console faggotry at it's worst.
