E3 2010 thread of E3-ness and MASSIVE LEAKS

it's a reasonable assumption. i was just hoping for something more from the press conference. eh, whatever.

i am excited that Monday Night Combat is being released soon (part of the summer of arcade).

so any guesses on what new peripheral Nintendo is going to show off?

i'm going to say it's a camera wii watch or wii view or wii see... i thought it would be that last year, but they shocked me with the vitality sensor.
 
Hm, looks like other companies are following in God Of Wars footsteps by releasing PS2 HD remixes on the PS3...

The Sly Cooper Collection will be revealed tomorrow as part of the Sony press conference. A blurry image on 1UP, taken at the as-yet-unopened PlayStation booth, not only announces the title but also touts 3D support as one of its key features. An independent source confirmed to Joystiq that Sly Cooper Collection is very much a real thing, and that other PS2 HD remixes are likely to be seen during the show.

Well if your going to be jumping about the floor with your new Kinect in front of your 360 you would have thought they would have solved the disc scratching issue with the new 360s if they are moved when a disc is in.....oh dear.

What kind of drooling idiot changes the orientation of or lifts / moves a system while the optical drive is spinning?

I mean, he actually complains about it, as though Microsoft has the magical ability to conjure up a drive that doesn't do that.

Jostling Spinning Optical Drives Bad for Media? Film at 11!
 
So, Ninty are up next. What delights are we expecting? Yet another DS form factor? Some daft new peripheral nobody will buy?

And will they actually have any third party titles on show?
 
i expect lots of charts and graphs showing off how well they do and how well some of their third party games do. they'll show off the new ds. they'll show off some game that uses the wii vitality monitor (wii zen or the like). they'll show off zelda and everyone will be amazed (and maybe it'll be justified because nintendo might do something new with it, but i'm not holding my breath). and they'll show off a lot of casual games (upsetting the gamers that follow e3, forcing them to exclaim how nintendo has forsaken them)

and then because it's nintendo, they'll show off some new add-on that will confound most people and get used for only a very, very small number of games. i'm guessing a camera. maybe used for a nintenpets wii game...
 
Guaranteed are the 3DS, Zelda Wii, Metroid: Other M, Pokemon Black / White and Golden Sun DS, and I assume Activision's GoldenEye remake will be on the schedule, too. Strongly rumored to make a showing is Retro Studios, which may reveal that its top-secret project that it's been working on since it finished Metroid Prime 3 is actually a Donkey Kong title.

I also expect to see Wii Sitonaporch, with Miyamoto demonstrating rocking the Wii Remote back and forth to control the rate of the player's rocking chair.

But, really, Nintendo could show off the 3DS and Zelda Wii, and then an hour and a half of scat porn, and it would still be better than Ubisoft and Activision's trainwrecks from last night.

You're kidding right? I'm pretty sure my laptop can be moved all around with the disc driving spinning (because I do it) and I've yet to have a scratched disc. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
 
So Nintendo unveils Zelda: Skyward Sword, with the main draw being 1:1 swordplay thanks to Wii Motion Plus, and Miyamoto comes out on stage to demo it ... and it doesn't work.

Oops.

Laptops are not the same as game consoles.

If someone moves a PlayStation, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, whatever, while the optical drive is spinning, that person has no right to complain about a disc getting scratched, because that person is an idiot.

"Hey, this disc is spinning at really high speeds! I'm going to jostle my system around like a toy, and I'm sure that won't damage anything!"

I agree with you the guy is a dumb ass. I was reacting to your statement about Microsoft not being able "magically conjure up a drive" that doesn't scratch discs. It's not impossible, they can do it. It probably doesn't make financial sense to worry about it, and again the guy is a dumb ass. But lets not act like it can't be done.
 
"We're getting some interference here."

Yeah, I'm sure that's what the issue is. :lol:

I'd imagine it was a combination of the IR getting freaked out by all the camera flashes, wireless interference and the fact that the sensor bar craps out at about six feet.
 
Mario Sports Mix? Pff, it's clearly a Kinect Sports knock-off. :rolleyes:

I'd imagine it was a combination of the IR getting freaked out by all the camera flashes, wireless interference and the fact that the sensor bar craps out at about six feet.
But he didn't seen to be aiming with the IR, he specifically said in that you don't aim by pointing at the screen, so I imagine it's like archery on Wii Sports Resort where the aiming is done by the tilt sensors. The thing is, even in that game's simple control scheme it doesn't aim right roughly 10% of the time and you'll find your bow aiming at the moon for some reason. The new Zelda game is clearly more complicated and it's suffering, even when doing simple like selecting weapons. You can't play a game where the controls go wrong 10% of the time, it would be far too frustrating.
 
Google, Apple and now Nintendo have had wireless issues with onstage demos in the past month, so I don't find it hard to buy.

I can't imagine they'd have done that demo if that's what they thought it was going to look like, cause it looked pretty, um, bad.

The portable CD Walkman, the mini disc walkman and the CD player in my car all want a word with you.:lol:

You mean it's safer to move a device designed to be portable, with shock protection for being used on the go, than it is to uproot a large console designed to sit still on a table while in use?

You don't say!

A new Kirby game: Kirby's Epic Yarn. Very Paper Mario-ish.

EDIT: Also, a new Donkey Kong game: Donkey Kong Country Returns.
