Title: "Next" On CNN
Post by: Keepa on May 11, 2003, 07:03:09 AM
For all my US people...hehe
Today, Sunday May 11, 2003 at 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time the program Next on CNN will have a preview of E3. It won't be for the entire hour, just one segment. The show appears to be divided amongst three topics. So hopefully it'll last at least fifteen minutes or so.
Note: This is CNN not CNN Headline News.

I hope noone wasted thier time watching the program! Man, the segment was total booty. It was the last 8-10 minutes of the show and it was garbage. They didn't have a clue what they were talking about. They first started talking about the stupid Mobile games for Cell Phones and PDA's, all the while showing clips of Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (while never even talking about R&C). Then they showed Madden 2004, Sims 2, and Mario Kart. The woman hosting was introing Mario Kart like it was an all new Super Mario type of game. She was trippin'. Then she went retro and showed a video clip of Mario Brothers 3 and the dude who was supposed to be knowledgable (I guess ) Said, "I think that's Mario 64. It was so garbage. They didn't show or say anything that we didn't know. Of course, the host acted as if games were for kids. And when they were talking about mobile games for the cell and stuff, she was like, "these are games for adults." ha, yeah, Pac Man!

The Mario Kart footage was new. But apart from that the segment was pretty crummy.

I thought it was bad too. I also noticed that Mario 64 mistake. The graphics may now be dated but not that much.

Jeez they need to find people who know what they are talking about when they do segments like this. "Umm I think this is on the Nintendo 64, I'm not sure its been so long". Jeez, come on. Right before that segment, there was a small clip of FF:CC on a monitor behind the lady. Doesn't look like it till the end when there is a flash of the characters. I also got a copy of the whole interview with all the clips, though most important are the MK: DD ones. Nice new weapon there, chomp.

Both, actually-probably a montage someone threw together for CNN. And the guy they interviewed had some trouble with periods:
Madden: 2.5 million
"Madden sold 25 million copies!"
I mean, at least give this job to someone literate.

na hes idiotic..he could at least had tried to improvise rather then reading lines if he had them...if their going to have people talking about the industry like their experts they might as well not have people make complete fools of themselves. If this man has freinds his age...he will never live this down.
which makes it even more insulting
