The official E3 2009 discussion thread.
Microsoft seriously dissapointed me. Let's review...
+New Halo Game
+Mii Joyride
+Beatles Rock Band (A real console seller right here)
+Sequels Left and Right (All FPS)
+First Person Gritty Realism Super Bionic Soliders With Huge Muscles and Creepy Monsters Shooters A Palooza
+Gears Crud
+Metal Gear Solid [Not too shabby on Microsoft's part I must concede...]
+Final Fantasy XII [Annouced Last Year...]
+Alan Wake [again, not too shabby]
+Tony Hawk's Very Fragile Looking Skateboard
+Project Terminator... Oops. I mean Natal.
All of this crud is what we were expecting. Nothing new or compelling. No RPG's except Final Fantasy, which everyone were expecting anyway. Natal is pretty much just a Wii rip off gimmick, which also will give me Milo related nightmares tonight. The first person shooters are easily forgotten among the ton of other releases. Metal Gear was slightly shocking to me, which pretty much just makes Sony suicidal. Alan Wake looked cool, but I'm scared the dialouge is going to drive me nuts during gameplay. Tony Hawks' board is yet another Wii gimmick crud, and it looks REALLY breakable. Beatles Rock Band isn't all that special, in terms of the other stuff that COULD HAVE been shown. I'm sick of Microsoft being Sequel tasic, that's Nintendo's job and they do a good job of it. Final Fantasy XII makes me cringe at the gameplay, scared to death that they're going to pull the same crud that XII pulled.
I dunno. I'm hoping that Nintendo wows me tomorrow. I know we can expect Pokemon Related news, since Silver and Gold are getting remade, the new DS Zelda game, and rumors of the new Mario game. Sony better have something spectacular, or they're going to go the way of the Dreamcast.
I'm just sincerly hoping they don't make another damn DS. O_o
