Topic: What game are you looking forward to most in E3 this year?

[bcballa04]

Basicly, everything.. Im really looking forward to Crystal Cronicles and what Square-Enix is bringing in the future.. everything that nintendo is making... factor 5, oh and silicon Knights.... for some reason i feel silicon knights is going to be our next rare.!! cant wait for what they have in store for us in the future.

[Samwise Gamgee]

no see, there is no way they can replace rare!!! know why rare was great? cuz their games felt like nintendo games!the quality look and feel felt like something that came out of nintendo! but what made them great was that they were nintendo with a little edge to them and had their own personality! they were kinda like the  nintendo underground! they showed it in all their games, but in conker's bad fur day, they pulled out all the stops and showed who they realy were! they broke the mold, they were their on their own, but still, the game felt like it could have been made by nintendo!

retro, silicon knites and the others! good developers, but you cant compair them to rare!  and thats y my most anticipated game of the show is perfect dark! what should have been nintendo's AAA system seller is now goin to xbox where it probibly will get over shadowed by halo 2!

[StrikerObi]

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on F-Zero, Mario Kart, and Viewtiful Joe the most. There's only 1 week left and I'm really excited that I'll finally get to play them.

"thats y my most anticipated game of the show is perfect dark"

Are you sure the game is even going to be shown at E3?
I know it's rumored to be shown but I don't think anything's official.
I have some serious doubts about the game anyway. The key members of the team who made the original PD left Rare. They started a new development team which created Timesplitters 2 which got all kinds of critical praise. So, given that, it seems obvious that a lot (if not all) of the FPS-making talent that was once at Rare is gone now. A development house is only as good as its leading developers and Rare has lost a lot of leading developers these past couple years.  

[Nintendo Gamecube]

Excluding my whole Nintendo list, I'm also looking forward to

World of Warcraft & Doom III

[Grey Ninja]

I think I am looking forward to Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes the most.  I know it's strange when there are so many new games going to be shown, but Metal Gear Solid was a REALLY good game, and I am eager to see what Silicon Knights has done with it.

In second place would be Tales of Symphonia I think.  I really like to see RPGs on GameCube again, and the Tales series is world class.

Third place belongs to either Pilotwings, Metal Gear Solid 3, Mario 128, Pikmin 2, or Resident Evil 4.  All of them are games that I will be watching closely when E3 comes.

Man, don't you guys just love E3?  It's like the best time of the year.    Even if you aren't going.

Grey Ninja and I have similar tastes it seems. I too am looking forward to Twin Snakes for identical reasons. I can't wait to see what SK does with the game. Of course I'm looking forward to F-Zero, Star Fox, and Tales of Symphonia. I've been stoked about Tales of Symphonia ever since it was announced. Tales of Phantasia was excellent and getting a 3D, cel-shaded, and exclusive sequel is a dream come true. But what I'm looking forward to most is the surprise title that we don't know about yet. I'm hoping for some original surprises from the Big N as well as some third party surprises.

On the Cube my most anticipated title right now is probably Twin Snakes which is kind of odd since I've never played Metal Gear Solid and have no real attachment in the series.  I think I'm interested in it because it's Silicon Knights and it's the only title on Nintendo's E3 page that is confirmed but has no screenshots.  Everything else has either been shown or is completely unknown.

Number 2 is probably Crystal Chronicles because we still don't have much of an idea of how it plays and I'm naturally quite curious.  Plus I want some indication from showgoers on whether or not it's any good.  Being Square's first Cube game the quality of that title needs to be reasonably high and I'd hate for Square to lose faith in the Cube early on because they half-assed their first game and as a result the game sold poorly.

On the GBA my most anticipated title is the new Zelda game that Capcom is working on.  Hopefully we'll see some of it.  I've been waiting too long for a new 2D Zelda with decent graphics and sound.  Unfortunately it's likely to be made in the Wind Waker style which is disappointing.  I liked Wind Waker's style but I prefer it as a one shot thing.  I don't need Zelda to be all happy and cheery all the time.

[Hostile Creation]

It wasn't really happy and cheery, per say. . . just different graphics.

Personally, I think Rare sucks.  SNES Donkey Kong was good, and some of their other games are bearable at best, but they don't compare to Nintendo.  Something about them just struck me as. . . insufficient, perhaps, or simply uncaring and low quality.  Retro surpasses Rare by a longshot, and while I haven't played ED, Silicon Knights probably does, too.

[VideoGamerJ]

I've got to say, Silicon Knights are not the next Rare. You just can't compare. I think Retro has some talent that turned Metroid into 3D successfully and Retro's future games should be good to see(They seem like a FPS group). AS for E3, I'm sure there what I am interested in seeing now will be completely changed by the end of E3. I really want to see Star Fox. I hope it brings back some of the SNES feeling or just creates an entire new atmosphere. I don't know if working from MP to SP in that game is good, but I trust Namco (as Nintendo obviously does) with Star Fox. I really like Nintendo's strategy, they give a company (2nd party or sometimes 3rd) a popular franchise and ask that company to make a good game. Well, that company will put all their effort into that game because they know that if they screw up, Nintendo won't be happy. Thus, everybody is happy, and Nintendo can have MANY projects going on at once. Some good examples of Nintendo doing this are...

-Rare develops Donkey Kong (Star Fox doesn't count because it was a last moment decision and Dinosaur Planet was WAY better with the orignal characters, Rare would have just sold horribly with that title)

-Retro Studios develops Metroid

-SEGA/AM develops F ZERO

-Namco develops Star Fox

-Silicon Knights develop MGS

-Capcom develops Zelda GBA

So yeah, E3 baby!

EDIT: Oh and Rare didn't suck. At least when they started out, they were a very very good developer. They made Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day and many others. However, it was wise of Nintendo to sell them. Nintendo is taking more risks, but I think they are good risks (not SEGA risks heh). In the future we'll find out what really happens.

[ThePerm]

also note this...i think this third pary second party developing games will be very temporary...Nintendo is expanding itself with its tokyo facility and maybe some other facilities...what i think its strategy is:  develop new games, lend games, expand. Thier are getting really agressive...and i like it.

[PIAC]

i would love to see what mr miyamoto has been cooking up. that and a new yoshi game ^_^ a new yoshi game for GBA would be more than enough for me, infact... i would almost go as far as saying i would prefer yoshi on GBA than gamecube..

[boggy b]

Metal Gear Solid 3

[Darc Requiem]

Boggy what was the purpose of that post thats like the 5th time you've given that link. That doesn't confirm MGS3 at all, for you all we know it could be referring to Twin Snakes. While I believe MGS3 will be at E3..that link isn't proof.

Star Ocean: Til The End of Time

[Grey Ninja]

Screw it.  MGS3 is my most anticipated game of E3 now.  The rest are still there, just bumped down one.  (which makes MGS: TTS my #2...)

[lastexit]

I believe there will be a new mario game and suspect it will somehow relate to super mario bros. 3.  THAT is my most anticipated.  Next i would say Eternal Darkness 2, mario kart and anything by Retro.

The first time you walk outside in Metroid Prime into the Phendrana Drifts you should realize that Retro is what RARE was when Donkey Kong Country first came out.

[Arucard]

Star Ocean: Til The End of Time (PS2)
Fatal Frame 2 (PS2)
Resident  Evil 4 (GC)
Resident Evil Online (PS2)
Onimusha 3 (PS2)
Final Fantasy: CC (GC)

Ummm... a little off topic, but Arucard, can you please choose a different avatar.  You remind me of someone I hate very much with your current avatar.  It's unreasonable I know, but I just don't want your image tarnished in my mind already.  Besides, it's too big.    The forum rules state that we can have a maximum of 64x64 pixels.

[Arucard]

No Prob bro.....Still to Big?  

[Grey Ninja]

It's currently 73x85.  Thanks for changing it.    I still don't really like the Hellsing theme, but it's much better than the last one though.  The last one was the one I learned to hate.
