Well its that time of year again!

For those who don't know or don't care this is the major electronics show of the year. Anyone and everyone who has been keeping what they been up to a secret comes to this show to reveal everything!

 

So in terms of games this is the xmas day of the games world. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft will all have their own gigantic press conferences where they will unveil their games for the holidays of this year and beyond.

 

So what can we expect? We'll the law of E3 is to expect the un-expected. Last year for example Square Enix dropped da bomb that Final Fantasy was no longer a Sony exclusive franchise. So if a long established massive $$$ making franchise can move home then anything can happen!

 

The media at this time all get hyper excited and come up with some predictions. These predictions are all based on info they may have heard. Some will be true and some will not.

Here are what a few of them are saying

 

Gamespot - http://e3.gamespot.com/?om_act=convert&om_clk=picks&tag=picks;title;1

 

IGN - http://uk.e3.ign.com/

 

G4TV - http://g4tv.com/e32009/splash.aspx

 

The conferences are spread out across the week however Microsoft's will be on 1st of June at 5.30pm. Nintendo's will be on Tuesday at 5pm and Sony's will also be on Tuesday at 7pm. Of course there are millions of other conferences with the bigger ones normally being from EA,Capcome,Square Enix,Take Two etc.

 

With only few day's to go we already know a few things. Konami have been teasing about a new game which some are predicting to be Metal gear Solid 5.

The teaser is here http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next/index.html

 

Also other news is supposedly Microsoft and Sky have teamed up to bring Sky TV channels to the Xbox 360. Another step closer for Microsoft's vision of making the console an entertainment system rather then just a games console.

 

So lots to look forward to. Many good games to be unveiled. Me personally i just hope they show some footage of Alan Wake seeing as it was E3 2006 we last heard about it!

 

Will try and keep this updated for us computer nerds :)

They need to sort out the mechanical noise levels of the 360 before anyone could consider using it for anything other than games.

 

My 1st one sounded a bit like it was about to take off. Then it died....

My 2nd one sounded like it had something stuck in it that made the disc make a noise. Then it died..... The 3rd one however sounds pretty silent!

Think they changed the fans and stuff in the newer ones. So hopefully this one lasts longer then a year before it dies.

my hopes for E3.

 

FIFA2010 gameplay footage and more info on create a club

Metal Gear Solid 4 on the 360 (head says no, but i can still hope)

Kojima countdown page is for Metal Gear *insert name here* 5 for the PS3 (lots of rumours that its a PSP game after a video about the new PSPGo was leaked mentioning a new metal gear solid game, cant be all that hype for a PSP game, right?)

New Zelda title for the Wii please Nintendo? I've been quite disappointed with the quality of the games coming out for Wii now, the only ones you see in the shops now are the cack family games ones, summer beach games...what a load of sh*t.

 

I want to be Link! :(

Would like set date for ff 13 + more remakes of old ff's (ff 4 on ds is a wee gem) + maybe some confirmation of Gears of War 3. Sony supposedly has a 'megaton announcement', rumour is that it is the ff 7 ps3 remake but im pretty certain thats bull. Some good new RPGs would certainly tick boxes especially if they are on the Wii, because mine is collecting dust in a corner of my room nowadays.

I just checked A-Z listing on Sky, doesn't seem to be anything under 'E3'. So I'll probably just watch it on IGN or G4. Anyone know what time the Microsoft Conference starts? I know it starts 10.30 in the states, by my math it should be 6.30pm over here? I'm not that good with timezones unfortunately.

The Microsoft conference should start at 6.20pm Bentley. Can watch live coverage at various places, i will watch at gamespot as they tend to be more reliable for these kinda things.

 

But the 1st announcement has been made and it is Crysis 2. Loved the 1st one so look forward to that.

They need to sort out the mechanical noise levels of the 360 before anyone could consider using it for anything other than games.

 

That's mainly the disc drive. I've found putting games onto the Hard Drive makes it a lot quieter.

 

As for Sky on 360 feature.... to be able to watch things simulateously with mates while they're in different part of the country seems a blinding idea to me.

Microsoft have been impressive at E3 for about 3 years now. I can't wait for the MGS Raiden game, I'm assuming that PS3 will get a Big Boss game to pair with that.

 

Nice to see Alan Wake is still alive. Not interested in the Halo stuff, but I'm glad I got my 360 fixed for some of these games to drop.

 

Be interesting to see what Sony do tomorrow, most of their stuff has been leaked already, but apparently they will still "shock" us. Maybe they'll show that secret BBC game finally?

Can't wait for Uncharted 2. Should be a good improvement on the orgional.

Of all the games shown over the week i think my three favs were Splintercell,Alan Wake (which should be like the old Resident Evil games) and Uncharted 2.
