Killzone 3 - http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-201...e-3/101187 - Could really care less about Killzone.  First one sucked, 2 looked great, but didn't pull me in and had very clunky controls.

Shmeh. Killzone 2 was okay, graphics were awesome but I absolutely hated the controls. All it looks like they did was add jets and a snow environment so they could show off graphically.

Bought by MS, staff did not want to work for MS, they all quit...

What is the point in buying a company when its main money producing mechanism is it's staff, and they all hate you...

...I mean...sure you get some IP, but what good is IP without a good staff to utilize it.

Ah, didn't know they all pretty much quit.  Makes sense as to why the games have been so bad or just plain..."meh".  Disappointing really.  Does not give me hope for a proper BK sequel.

Ask Activision. They're probably using all the money they made with MW2 to build a vault for the money they make with MW3. People like franchise names.

donkey kong 64 was probably the best game on the n64 i played the shit outta that game even though i sucked, i dont think i ever made it past like the desert level but man did it own

I loved it also.  I played that, Banjo 1 & 2, and Super Mario 64 so many times.  I still have the cartridge of them all.  DK wasn't my favorite, I think BK was for me, but it was still awesome.

Yup, just as innovative and revolutionary as Kinect with it's totally original bowling and boxing games, dancing games, and cat simulator called NintenCats, err...I mean Kinectimals.

Also I hate this name.  I keep having to stop to make sure I spelled the word wrong from what a regular word should be lol

no section for valve? wasn't there supposed to be a surprise or something?

even if they just hire a bunch of strippers to dress up as pyros and unveil themselves to an audience, it would be forum worthy.

i read that the 'surprise' was canceled

iI remember reading on Kotaku that the Portal 2 event wasn't the surprise.

[SAVAGE-0]

read an article yesterday about the possibility of the big surprise being a new engine source 2 and HL3 not HL2 episode 3

They get one shot, if MW3 sucks in the eyes of the people that buy them, then 4 will crash and burn. People will only buy solely based on name once, but if they get burned they won't again.

Someone tell that to Sega.  They are still making Sonic games, so they must be making some kind of cash from the name.

The problem is that MW2 sucked and ppl will prolly buy MW3.

This is true, but I dont think they make anywhere near the amount of money they used to with the earlier games, still making money, yes? Multi-Million copies sold, hardly.

They could probably make much more money if they just sold the franchise to Nintendo.

Watching the Microsoft Liveblog at the moment.  Of course it's at the most exciting time...WII FIT! Oh, I'm sorry...Your Shape or something for Kinect.  Yeah...this is exactly what people are wanting to see.

Apparently Harmonix made a dance game for Kinect.

Man I hope they have some actual games prepared for the show.

Kinect is out November 4th.  15 Launch Titles. Don't need a new console for it.

[KarthXLR]

Watching the live show on Gametrailers....Kinect looks really lame.

[Dtrain323i]

Gabe Newell is going to come down from the heavens riding a golden chariot pulled by a flaming unicorn and announce......


No engie update

[Maxon]

Bah, even the Star Wars game seems lame.  Nothing more than a generic tech demo for Kinect.

The idea is alright I guess for the racing, but I hate the fact of losing your tactile feel of a game that could really use that feel.  You don't want to pretend like your not holding anything for a game like that, you want to feel like your racing.

Turn 10 studios proudly present....walking around and looking at a car.

With realistic looking and walking! MIND BLOWING...THIS IS THE FUTURE OF RACING!

New 360 revealed.  Silent, built in wifi, 250gb HD. Little smaller, no price difference from the others, which I'm guessing the others might be cheaper.  The 360 will be out...this week? Wow...That is surprising really.  Bah, they pulled an Oprah XD Everyone got a 360.
