13 May E3 Video Wrap UpI told you I'd probably be back one more time. I have some short video of the Gears of War Promo that was in the South Hall, you all have seen the pics of the huge chalk drawing on the floor, this is a video to go along with the pics. I have MORE gameplay from the new Mortal Kombat Armagedon game for Xbox and PS2, it's looking to be the best mortal kombat game since Mortal Kombat 2. I went to the Namco booth on the last day of E3 and found The Prince Of The Cosmos, but unfortunaly the Prince doesn't like Video Cameras! (see the video for what happened) I was doing a E3 tour all day but managed to stop by the Ubisoft booth right around the time that they were showing off Rainbow Six Vegas for a crowd. I waited in the 3 hour line at the nintendo booth, so I could get a chance to play with the Wii. I decided to get video of inside the Wii booth. I then walked back over to the Ubisoft booth, right around the time that Ubisoft was showing off Splinter Cell Double Agent. Since the video in total is over 10 min, I can't post it on Youtube. I did post it thou in Part #1 and Part #2, click part one then two for the whole thing. I was close the Namco at this point and heard the noise, so I went over and according to the Namco Girls This Trailer is a world exclusive trailer for Hellgate London. I'm done for now, I may be back with one or two more updates, and then thru-out the year...I'll be there at Launch of Wii and PS3... SEE YOU ALL SOON HOPEFULLY! 12 May End of E3 2006E3 2006 is over. I'd like to thank Microsoft for the use of the Xbox Blogger Bus (which was a GREAT place to cool off relax and blog) I'd also like to thank everyone I met at the community events, (you all know who you are!) I'd also like to thank all the people who viewed my blog during E3, and I might keep the blog going all the way until next years E3, and then hopefully Microsoft will have the Blogger Bus back, and maybe some improvements (maybe more space - lol). I may still do one more update tommorrow, otherwise I'll see you all later (or on Xbox Live)! P.S - I do plan on keeping the blog going with more news as the year goes on.... More Videos from the showI didn't get much of a chance to use the blogger bus, and in turn didn't get any time to post videos. So, here are the videos for the day. I have some footage of NHL2K7 from 2K Sports. A failed Parachute drop from Splinter Cell : Double Agent. I have a video of the ENTIRE presentation that EA had in thier booth, it was playing on the 360 degree theatre they have set up. I got footage from Enchant Arms of a full battle sequence against some dragon looking thing. If you love to tune cars and drift around every possible corner and -- oh yes "smoking peeps" then you will love the video trailer for Fast and The Furious The Game Trailer. I walked by the Webzen booth and took some footage of the trailer they had playing and some gameplay from the tournament. An employee from Ubisoft played some Splinter Cell: Double Agent for me, and it's looking really nice. I have a small video of the new Accessories for Xbox 360, such as the wireless Racing Wheel, and the new headset. As well I have the Quake Wars Trailer from the Activision Booth, although it looks a lot like battlefield quake-ified. I have an amasing 8 minutes of Superman Returns for Xbox 360, shown off by one of the developers! Last and least for this evening is the Trailer for Tekken Dark Ressurection for Playstation Portable. You may not see updates from me much tommorrow during the day, because I plan on doing a entire filmed walk through of the E3 Show floor, which will take me a long while. But expect updates tommorrow night and Sat, so I'll see you all then! 11 May ADAM WE!!!!!Today at E3 between 2 - 4 PM PST, in the 2K Games Booth....the master of destorying the Noid, and one of the BEST BATMAN'S EVER -- ADAM WEST was there for autograph signing and photos!

That's it for now, I'll be back with the opening for Dead Rising later this evening, so stay tuned! Day one Part 2Ok, I'm still here in the Blogger bus, and I have more footage for you. I also have footage of Saint's Row gameplay from the show floor. I also have footage of Justice League Heroes for Xbox 1, which looks like Xmen Legends but with other characters. Splinter Cell: Double Agent footage comes from the microsoft booth, one of the Ubisoft Employees is playing during this footage. I also have Prey 360 gameplay from the Microsoft booth, of what looks like deathmatch. I played the PC version earlier and came in 4th out of 10 people, not too bad....but pretty good. Last and least for NOW (there will be more) is footage of the new mortal kombat game from Midway. Dubbed Mortal Kombat Armagedon. I will have more footage a little later on, but keep checking for more updates with a LOT more footage. Day one Update.A small update for people trying to get some E3 info. First off I'm chilling in the Blogger Bus at the moment with Trixie (who is great)! I've got Footage of Dead Rising in action.....So you should all check it out and comment on it. Included in the footage is the Megaman Helm and Blaster. Half way thru Day OneOk, so I'm half way thru day one. More pics are up in the Photo Album. My hands-on with Dead Rising, (I'll have video shortly) will be available soon. But things I like are small things such as the Megaman Blaster which is included in the game and even the Megaman Helm. Video coming out for game soon. Actually at E3!I am at E3, sitting in the blogger bus. SO I decided to upload the few pics I just took of the Forza 2 Girls and Cars... Check them out in the photo gallery. Tuesday Night News UpdateOk, since tommorrow is the first day of the big show we all call E3. I'll be blogging from the show tommorrow via the blogger bus....I've decided to do updates live from E3 roughly every 2 - 3 hours....Which gives any day roughly 3 updates from E3 a day. So keep it tuned for all the great footage and pics! Anyway's on to the update. Nintendo announced Starfox DS complete with WIFI multiplayer. Halo 3 Announced at MS ConferenceOk, I just got thru watching the Press Conference, and all I have to say is OMG OMG!!! I'm a HUGE fan of Halo and when I saw Master Chief step out of that smoke and overlooking the halo in the cavern I nearly crapped myself! Ok, now for new highlights of the Conference. 1. First and foremost for me was the announcement and video trailer that is HALO 3!!! 2. Fable 2 was announced as well and had a small video trailer and almost like the Halo video I was excited quite a bit. 3 . The new Splinter Cell had a sweet trailer, with one part I liked in paticular. A spy was walking in the snow, then he turned and Fisher jumped up from beneath the snow and slit his throat. 4. Grand Theft Auto 4 has been announced as XBOX 360 Exclusive launch and exclusive episode content! 5. Gears Of War was shown, played by cliffyb who was there. WOW is it looking to be great. 6. HD-DVD Player was shown, and it looks like a External CDRW Drive. I'm running out of finger power here, lol... Nintendo Press Conference OverOk folks, the Conference is over and I only have one thing to really say.... WOW! Nintendo looks to be bringing more interactivity to gameplay with it's innovative controller (click link for more info) design! Just like the Sony one My fav things about the Conf... 1. The Controller and how it's used for gameplay, I mean wow for FPS fans, it's just like a advanced lightgun. They also got someone from the audience up on stage and they all played some tennis! 2. The games - They showed off the new Super Mario Galaxy, Excite-Truck, the new Zelda (Twilight Princess will be launch title later this year on both Wii and Gamecube), Red Steel (sweet looking FPS from Ubisoft), Warioware Wii as well! Lucasarts teams with pixelux to help make environments better for the new Indiana Jones game. IGN Interviews the guy behind DOA4 and DOAX-2, Itagaki has some cool stuff to talk about. Kaz Hirai from Sony talks about SONY's online services, sounds a little familiar to me.....Xbox Live anyone? IGN gives it's impressions about the announced PSP games, personally I want to play some WTF (Work Time Fun). The Crazy man named Ken Kutaragi has apparently been quoted saying that "It's probably too cheap", and that it just comical to me. If you live in Japan and are a fan of Grand Turismo 4, you would want to look right about here for info on the beta! Last and least for now is the fact that IGN has a interview with the guys behind Stranglehold. Again - stay tuned for more more more. And my own hands on with both PS3 and Wii tommorrow. Update of news for May 8th.Ok I missed a lot of stuff today because of getting my E3 Badge and the Sony Press Conference. So here we go with the MASSIVE update. CRI Middleware announces a partnership with Nintendo for the Wii, CRI is most known to myself via the Sofdec compression from Dreamcast! Jade Empire One of the better RPG's on Xbox will be getting a enhanced PC Debut. Trickstar A gameboy racer from E3 2004 will finally be coming out this summer after finding a publisher. My favorite character from the past year is getting a guest appearance in Pac-Man World Rally, It's the Prince of The Cosmos from Katamari! YAY! Two Square-Enix Will be going to Wii, one of those titles is Dragon Quest.... Ubisoft is going to showcase some new content for G.R.A.W at E3, including at least one new co-op campaign. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles DS which was announced recently by Square. Vivendi releases it's big E3 2006 Lineup, among the titles are F.E.A.R for 360, and the new expansion for the PC version. IGN has a breakdown of the Square-Enix Conference available right about Here. Rainbow Six: Vegas Gets a exclusive to IGN first video.....GO! GO! GO! Part of the earlier Sony Press Conference they announced that the PSP will have it's own Greatest Hits line of games. Again part of the Sony Conference was the new creation from the guy behind the eyetoy, it's dubbed Eye of Judgement and it will be playable on the show floor. Microsoft re-confirms the HD-DVD Addon for Xbox360, and everyone decides to ignore the news. Did the PS3 controller copy the Wii's? With it's movement tech? Check IGN's Article about it Right here. Is the 20GB PS3 Missing Features? This article at IGN CONFIRMS IT! Apparently IGN thinks we missed something by not being at the conference today so This is what we missed. I'm kinda happy about this news. MotorStorm details have been released. Last news for this evening is - SingStar was at the sony press conference and it looks like a high end version of Karaoke Revolution. That's it for tonight, so look for more in the morning just after Nintendo's Press Conference....and Microsofts as well at Noon. 08 May Sony Press ConferenceSony's Press Conference has ended, and WOW some cool stuff was
displayed. For a COMPLETE list of what was shown, click this link for IGN's minute by minute updates. As for me, the main things I liked about it was the following things.... 1. Playstation's Prices announced,
1 with a 20GB HD for $499 USD ($559 CDN), and 1 with a 60GB HD for $599
USD ($659 CDN). Personally I'll be pre-ordering my 60GB Version as soon
as I get home. ![]() 2.
The new
Controller, it's a PS2 Controller but lighter and a new
motion sensing tech built into it. They showed off Warhawk with the
tech, and the controllers movement made up the planes....which offers
great gameplay for those of us who move with the
game. 3. The New Metal Gear Solid game, which
stars "old snake" and it shows him at the end putting a gun in his
mouth, then switches to a blood red screen and the logo for the new
game. 4. They did show quite a few PLAYABLE demos
of some games....althou absent from the list were high profile games
such as Killzone 2, and Motor Storm. Apparently all the ones they
played at the show will also be playable at E3 on Wends, which means
I'll have some of my own footage of the gameplay on wends or
thurs. 5. Sony showed off a new game called Eight
Days, which if they showed actual gameplay (It's VERY debatable) looks
like it would blow away anything recently. 6. Grand Turismo
HD Announced and to me it looks just like the PS2
version...oh well. Of course for the full conference Video I link you
to Gamespot's E3
Live which will have it for download
soon. Other news updates like in the style below will be done shortly.....I'm a little tired from typing all the above info. He He He. Photo's Taken From Within the Convention CentreMe and Scott went to the Convention Centre to pick up our badges today. We are kind of farther from the convention than we wanted to be, but oh well, we can take a cab and it won't cost too much. Anyway, in a small update I took pictures while we were there of the inside of the convention centre, which has some posters of Gears of War, Justice League, Dirty Harry, and PS3. Click on over to my flickr account to check them out. In other other news, the sony press conference is in 1 hour. I'll be sure to blog the most interesting info right here as soon as it happens. So check back, in about 1 hour and 30 min. First Morning in LA UpdateI woke up this morning, went to breakfast, and now I'm set to do the morning update. IGN gets to try out the God of War 2 demo that will be at E3. If you liked the first game it's looking better than the original. IGN also has impressions of Warioware Wii which is great for people who have ADD. What was I talking about again? Oh yea, the Nintendo Wii also has a Tennis game coming out! Nintendo also released some information about the Wii version of Twilight Princess, you get to use the sword for real! Unreal Tournament 2007 gets a interview over at IGN, too bad they don't announce a 360 version for us Xbox heads. Chromehounds also gets a interview at the same place, so if you like Mech's check it out. Gamespot has the info on SNK/Playmore's E3 Lineup, and I can't wait to see the new king of fighters. The new Turok game headlines Buena Vista Games' lineup and our friends at Gamespot has that story. Virtua Fighter 5 has been announced as being PS3 Exclusive, which is obviously good news for Sony fans. Crysis, Spore and the next gen of Madden top EA's list of E3 games, and again Gamespot has the news on that. That's it for this morning (it's really only 11:10 am here in LA), expect at least one more update as we go to the convention centre to grab our badges, and then the Sony Press Conference. Mini Update I'm in LAOk, we arrived in LA a little earlier than our flight was supposed to.
The hotel is a little bit of a stye, but there's not much we can do
about that now. Anyway, I'll be updating tommorrow in time for the Sony Press Conference. See you then! |
