You realize I'm the only "moderator" right? Since vudu is dead and everyone else is "staff", I can only assume that was a pot-shot at me...
broodwars - let me know if that formatting is okay with you. I still have your old post saved, so I can revert it.
Yep, works for me. Much more readable. :cool;
Dasmos, what time zone are you in?
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc (http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc)
As this is Nintendo World Report, might I request that you throw up additional timezones for the benefit of the European readership?
I'm glad they are getting the boring stuff out of the way on Day 1. This means on Day 2 when its Nintendo's time to speak we will have a full day of awesomeness without any interruptions from stuff no one cares about.
Anyway, I feel I should point out other streaming options. I know that in past years, some people (including me) have had problems with the feeds suddenly freezing. GameSpot and Giant Bomb also have streams should any of those options in the original post stop working for you.
That looks like Metroid Prime with Guns.
Yeah no jumping or lore entries. Got to love the Lore entries.That looks like Metroid Prime with Guns.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, except it looks less interesting.
Really wish the E3 speakers would practice the speeches to sound more natural then metered.That means I have to find it.
Also "With the return of Master Chief in Halo 4: Metroid Prime Other Story"
It looks like a straight-up Metroid Prime clone.Won't let me in where I'm at.
Also people should go in the chat room..
Not Interested. Move on.
...Unfortunately these type of interactions will probably be on WiiU as well. It has all the tech for it. I put this where I put Clicky Sticks. Most people will do a terrible job on implementation.
Ugh...Kinect-based voice "distraction". Bleh.
Wow, that's all they had to show for Gears of War: Judgement? A 30 second video, and a 2013 release date? That has to sting for some 360 fans.Shoot I feel cheated and I don't own a 360.
Hey if this was the 90's I might actually care about the NBA.
Any big surprises? I've heard about Splinter Cell: Blacklist but I haven't been keeping track of Microsoft's Press Conference since I'm at work. Is Blacklist console exclusive to 360?
What shocked me most about Microsoft’s game line-up was that Dance Central 3 didn’t have any shooting. What’s up with that?Window 8 tablets and devices.
Also, what tablets even qualify for Smart Glass? I’m guessing iPad doesn’t count.
The forumers at Penny Arcade are remarking that E3 isn't for "us" anymore with all the non-game and casual stuff that's focused on. But then who is E3 aimed at? Because the people excited about Usher being in Dance Central are sure as **** not paying attention to E3, or even know what it is. They spend so much time on casual stuff at E3 but the casuals aren't there. Reveal the casual stuff for like the Teen Choice Awards or some nonsense like that. The geeks are the only ones that are ever going to pay attention to E3 so stick to the core stuff.

I'm predicting their E3 presentation will be more tailored to the actual audience.

...What? It wasn't Halo Prime: A Metroid Saga?
Incidentally, I think Tomb Raider was the highlight of that conference.

Not enough scanning. ;)
...Rest Assured they'll have a Metroid Prime game and a GCN-GBA Connectivity device as well.
Hopefully Sony has better offerings.
WTF happened to those "Rare" titles that were supposed to be in the works.
Pretty damn week show for MS IMO. Hopefully Sony has better offerings.
I hope they include the link cable with the game. I only have four of those and want another one. :)...Rest Assured they'll have a Metroid Prime game and a GCN-GBA Connectivity device as well.

I don't think its really for Investors. More Retailers and Journalists.The forumers at Penny Arcade are remarking that E3 isn't for "us" anymore with all the non-game and casual stuff that's focused on. But then who is E3 aimed at?

The problem that too many people just fail to understand is that E3 was never meant for us. That's why we can't get in. That's why they talk about the boring sales figures.
E3 is meant for investors and retailers. And to some extent, journalists.
E3 isn't, nor was it ever meant to be PAX or Comic Con.

I was hoping for a price cut and was dissapointed :(No point in a price cut until at least closer to the WiiU launch. Also, if E3 buzz is that the WiiU sucks (don't think it'll happen), then there would be no reason to cut the price even at WiiU launch because it's not going to cut into their sales. My guess is they will probably wait until early 2013 for a price cut, but only if the WiiU actually does take off.

This analysis from Giant Bomb's Alex Navarro is a pretty good summation of the conference and its pitfalls.
EA's briefing is starting soon. I wonder if they or Ubisoft are allowed to demonstrate Wii U games before Nintendo's official re-unveiling tomorrow.
Well, damn it...early word is that Mr. Caffeine will not be making a repeat performance at the Ubisoft Press Conference starting now. :'(Oh come on!!! Why are they ruining all the fun we had last year and making everything boring?
"Girl wood"...
...
...
Really?
Not sure. Ubi does do the best cheesy show though."Girl wood"...
...
...
Really?
Isn't the terrible dialogue and worse jokes GLORIOUS?
I'm thinking that Ben Franklin is going to be the new version of Leonardo Divinci.
I have a 24 Megabit connection why in the world is ever stream for this even is choppy.
No way I'm playing the Wii U version with those controls.What were the controls? I missed it.

Yikes, that doesn't sound good. And there are no other control options?
Did we know yet that Just Dance 4 was coming to the Wii U yet or is that an official confirmation now?
I am intrigued by this game. Hopefully there is more to it than just being a jerk and hacking into everyone's phones and stuff.
So the Sony conference will not be on regular tv correct? I couldn't find anything stating it would be on G4 or Spike or anywhere else.
The feed on the PS3 is terribly choppy. They could easily do better.
BEYOND (btw, I'm sure the IGN audience loved that) looks amazing graphically, but I'm still waiting for actual user interaction to show up. And for all David Cage's bluster about the greatness of Ellen Paige, she sure hasn't had to do anything in this trailer.Pretty sure she did motion caption for this as well.
EDIT: So David Cage's big plan was to show the boring stuff as the demo, and put all the cool-looking stuff in the sizzle reel? Eh...
Drake. Who was the other one? Was he from Bioshock?
Long and long trailers.
Demo is WAY too long.
Have they not shown any first party Vita games besides Super Sony Smash Bros?
Sony's talking about Move when they have so many more important things to talk about. Goddamn it, Sony. Well, I guess Sony's abandoned the Vita.You know my Wife was wondering why they were talking about the Vita so much ironically.
Wow, just when you thought Sony couldn't mess up more.

Check out the tags for the Playstation All-Star trailer. This is Sony's official Youtube account as well.
Beyond, The Last of Us, and Watch Dogs for the best of Day 1?
I'm glad Wonderbook exists, but it did not belong at that press conference and CERTAINLY not for that long. It will sell a grand total of 100 copies at best, but I'm glad it's there for those 100 kids.
BTW, as Sony promised today's Playstation Plus update is amazing: link (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/06/05/playstation-plus-e3-2012/)
Almost makes up for their abandonment of the Vita. Almost.
Last of Us looked good. I hope the escort AI is as good as it looks.I agree. I was scared she was going to be Ashley for a bit when he had to wait for a few seconds for her to climb up a ledge. She redeemed herself in the fight against the baddies but I'm still concerned that she may drag the game out in the platforming areas.
If you play a lot of games. Playstation Plus really isn't that bad of a deal. For me though I just can't get the time. Shoot I haven't even been able to get back to Bionic Commando.
but I'm still concerned that she may drag the game out in the platforming areas.
My only gripe about PS+ is my current HD is the low 20GB model :( . Really should upgrade to 500GB+ drive because Sony's giving weekly Freebies all the time.At least from what I've heard its really simple to swap the harddrives.

Unless you want to transfer everything on your current HDD over to the new one though. Creating a backup requires an external HDD and the backup process takes FOREVER. My suggestion is you put any saves and pictures and music you have that you want to keep onto a usb thumbdrive. Then switch the HDDs, then put all that stuff back on afterwards and just redownload all the games again. It'll probably be faster.My only gripe about PS+ is my current HD is the low 20GB model :( .

It is. The only tool you need is a screwdriver and about 5 minutes of your time. There are plenty of video tutorials you can find on youtube to show you how to perform the procedure.
Did you see the demo? They climbed up a ledge and it took her three times as long to climb up that ledge. That ledge took them to a different platform. Therefore, platforming.but I'm still concerned that she may drag the game out in the platforming areas.
This game isn't Uncharted, who says there will be platfomring areas?

I agree. I did say it's probably easier to just redownload everything he had. I totally forgot about PS+ online saves. That makes even more sense.Unless you want to transfer everything on your current HDD over to the new one though. Creating a backup requires an external HDD and the backup process takes FOREVER.

Or if you have PS Plus you can upload all your saves online. Yes, it would suck to redownload all your stuff, but considering his harddrive is only 20gb (that's what he said) he can't really have too much on there anyway, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
The problem with any "free" game you get on PlayStation Plus, if my memory is correct, is that you lose access to those games if you ever end your subscription. That is crap, and not good.

Even the games you pay for aren't really yours permanently. There will come a time years from now when PSN gets shut down and whatever you bought on there will be inaccessible to you. It may not happen anytime soon, but it will happen eventually.
