Re: E3 2010 (Official Discussion)

Apparently Bethesda Softworks is rumored to be announcing a new Elder Scrolls game, I hope they do.

Edit:

Looking forward to see if they are making a slim Xbox 360

FABLE III looks epic

Re: E3 2010 (Official Discussion)

I wasn't a big fan of Fable II, I haven't seen Fable III yet though so who knows.

Re: E3 2010 (Official Discussion)

This one has gameplay, and info about the new Magic Weapons

Re: E3 2010 (Official Discussion)

HOLY SHIT fable 3 looks good.

I'm excited for Black Ops but tbh I think its gonna be a letdown. They need to fix some multiplayer stuff like spawning and unfair campers and shit.

Re: E3 2010 (Official Discussion)

If you played CoD 5 you'll know that Treyarch is VERY good with their spawn points. Camping will be eliminated by removing such large killstreaks, and keeping them simple, yet different from earlier titles(3-5-7)

E3 2010: Xbox 360 E3 Preview

The biggest gaming event of the year is less than one week away. The Electronic Entertainment Expo is about to storm the LA Convention Center and all eyes looking for anything videogame related will be on it. Microsoft will be first out of the gate this Sunday evening with a big Project Natal event…and won't stop holding gatherings and game demos until the show ends on Thursday. Things will start off with a bang, but will Microsoft have enough gas in the tank to keep people interested once Sony and Nintendo start to show their wares? All signs point to yes.

By this point, one would expect to have already had all of Microsoft's big E3 announcements either leaked or circling the Net in rumor form. That has been tradition, after all. This year things are different. Sony has spent the past few weeks announcing sequel after sequel while Microsoft's camp has stayed quiet. My contacts won't even hint at what to expect, though they do continue to book appointments -- some of them with secretive agendas.

But you don't have to have inside information to have a general understanding of what to expect from Microsoft this E3. Several games have already been announced by Microsoft that we know will be shown off including Halo: Reach, Gears of War 3 and Crackdown 2. There's also the big Project Natal unveiling Sunday evening, where you can expect to learn the 3D camera's final name and price, along with the launch lineup of games.

Ah, yes, Natal. This little gizmo will be the focus of the show for Microsoft for the first couple of days. Microsoft is targeting the more casual consumer with its 3D camera, so you can expect most of the games to be in line with what have been hits on Wii. Joy Ride with Natal, some carnival games, and perhaps a fitness program wouldn't be any surprise at all. That doesn't mean there won't be anything the core gamer will enjoy. Several "hardcore" games will be announced or shown to entice those that already own an Xbox 360, including some by third parties and the goofy little Milo.

The focus will slowly begin to shift towards things the traditional IGN reader would get excited about at the start of the press conference on Monday, June 14, at 10:00 AM Pacific. Project Natal will still have a big presence there, but we'll also start to get some news on more conventional games. Expect Rare to announce its next game, the Summer of Arcade lineup to be detailed, and a few other game unveilings to take place while MS hammers home the fact that it has a new Halo and a new Gears of War game coming within the next 12 months.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
We've been seeing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood teasers for months now so it'll be a real joy to finally get our eyes on the full game. We already know that Ezio is returning to battle the Templars across Rome, but the real treat will be to see how they handle the multiplayer element. If done right, the world of Assassin's Creed could be exactly the right venue for stealthy deathmatches. It could be especially exciting for anyone that misses the good old days of Spies versus Mercs being such a major component in the Splinter Cell series.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The name "Call of Duty" is enough to get anyone excited these days, but Call of Duty: Black Ops actually has us intrigued. So far we've seen references to the Vietnam War and the Cold War and weapons that so aren't historically accurate. This has folks around these parts are wondering if there's time travel in this game or if these Black Ops soldiers are just privy to intel and ammo the general grunts never saw back in the day. Either way, we've seen players repel through glass windows and blow enemies away, fire off incendiary shotgun rounds, and fly the SR-71 Blackbird. Yup, that's enough to get us excited.

Fable III
This will be the umpteenth time we've heard about or seen Fable III. So what makes E3 so special? With the kickoff of all things Project Natal, we fully expect Lionhead to show what sort of integration it will have in the game. The possibilities are intriguing, to say the least.

We know that Fable III will be fully playable with just a standard Xbox 360 controller. Project Natal will simply offer enhanced features. How could that work? Perhaps you'll strike a pose in real life instead of simply using a wheel as you did in Fable II. Or maybe jobs will require you to get up off of your butt and actually do something to earn extra money. My money is on at least some optional Natal interaction with your in-game dog or co-op partner.

Fallout: New Vegas
You only need to play Fallout 3 to know why we're excited for Fallout: New Vegas. Obsidian has taken what made Bethesda's title so fun and are attempting to improve on it. Some of the more interesting features include simplified companion commands, a reputation system, and hardcore mode. Hardcore mode requires players to eat and drink at regular intervals to survive, and weighted ammunition so you can't carry an unreasonable amount of explosives. And if you break a limb, you need a high medical skill and a doctor's kit to fix it. Sounds pretty freakin' hardcore to us, but we'll wait and see if it makes Fallout more fun.

Gears of War 3
Epic will be on hand at Microsoft's E3 booth, at a special evening event on Wednesday, and probably as a part of the big Microsoft press conference Monday morning. They'll be showing off Bulletstorm, sure, but all eyes will be on Gears of War 3. It will be our first time actually getting a look at the conclusion to the war with the Locust. Hopefully Epic will even let us play.

You can expect the focus to be on the newly updated squad, particularly on the fact that Anya is now part of the crew. Epic is sure to hammer home the fact that this final act in the trilogy will be filled with high drama and life or death situations. And chain saws.

Halo: Reach
Most of us have already played Halo: Reach through the massively popular public beta that just wrapped up a few weeks ago. Bungie is promising that it still has something left in the tank to get you even more excited this E3. The way I see it, there are only two things that Bungie could show that would get the Halo faithful in a tizzy.

The first would be the campaign itself. This prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved details the fall of Planet Reach, which means we should see some of the biggest and most impressive battles ever fought in the Halo universe. The other option is for Bungie to let us get our hands on an updated version of Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode. If you haven't played it, think of Gears of War 2's Horde Mode or Call of Duty's Zombies. Excited yet?

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
Back in April, Capcom announced Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and fighting aficionados everywhere cheered. At the time, we only got to see a trailer and a preliminary list of combatants. At this year's E3, we should get a look at the game in action -- and so should you. Hopefully the game will be playable and people will get to test out the new engine to see if it can stack up to its much-loved predecessor.

And though Chris Redfield has been confirmed to be in the game, we all know you're just going to pick Ken all of the time. Admit it.

Medal of Honor
Electronic Arts is bringing back its popular shooting franchise, this time switching the setting to a modern warzone. The game's single-player story mode is being handled by Electronic Arts Los Angeles, and the multiplayer is being done by Battlefield developer DICE. From what we've seen of the story missions so far, it looks like the game will offer intense first-person shooting action with high quality visuals and sound. We unfortunately haven't had much of chance to play yet, but in the realm of first-person shooters set in the real world, the more competition the better. We're all hoping this game will turn out to be more Allied Assault than Airborne, and are looking forward to whatever EA's going to show off in a few weeks.

Portal 2
It almost goes without saying that Portal 2 is one of our most hotly anticipated games. We, along with the rest of the free world, fell in love with Valve's too-short brain-bending first-person-puzzler, so when the announcement came that the sequel was to be on show at E3, we squealed and clapped our hands giddily. Then news that the Portal 2 event was to be cancelled and replaced by a "surprise" trickled through, and confusion set in. Now we're excited for two different reasons. We still want to get our Cheeto-encrusted hands all over Portal 2 for as long as is humanly possible, but we also want to see just what Valve and Aperture Science have in store for us.

Rage
It's surprising to think a company like id Software hasn't actually made a game in-house since Doom 3. Even at the time of that game's release, some criticized the its decidedly old-school mechanics like corridor crawling and monster closets. For Rage, we get quite a few things new from the studio that gave us Wolfenstein 3D and Quake. We get wide open environments and a story backdrop far more developed than anything the company has ever produced. It's also a gorgeous game from what we've seen so far, which makes sense for id, a company that's always been interested in pushing technical boundaries. With plenty of options for customization and ways to play, we're all hoping id's newest title can again wow us, and introduce the company's talent to a new generation of gamers.
