So assuming I can find my E3 badge and that LA isn't destroyed by an earthquake in the next 24 hours I should be at E3 tomorrow. Anyone want me to look at anything in particular? Last year I wrote up some impressions of what I saw on the show floor and looking back I think I pretty much nailed it, everything I said looked good ended up being good, everything I was iffy on ended up being not so hot. So you can trust me far more than any professional website! Of course I'll check out whatever MMOs are there at least a little. Other than that I'm planning on spending most of my time playing sequels to shooters and Nintendo-game knockoffs, since that's apparently all the video game industry makes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTYtH28esTg&feature=player_embeddedHighlight of E3! I don't think Portal 2 is going to be on the show floor, seeing that the event for it was cancelled. If the new Rock Band is there I will definitely check it out given that I can play bass and a little piano...although last I heard there was no pro-mode bass guitar, just normal guitar.

I think our taste in games differs too much for me to have any specific recommendations though.
Maybe if there's anything special being shown off at E3 for FFXIV though?

Posting here because it doesn't deserve it's own thread. So apparently Kinect is some sort of device you use when you want to carefully mimic the motions of a video game character. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_y1-xAXv4g&feature=player_embeddedThat is one hell of a fail demo. They could have at least had the guy rehearse until it wasn't so blatantly obvious that the character was moving first.

Oh, and on the subject of E3, the first day of press conferences is over and schild hasn't even posted since the 12th let alone made any E3 threads. It feels like someone canceled Christmas.

They just showed the MS360 demo on tv including that SW game demo. That guy wasn't part of it. That video is probably fake.

That was the pre-E3 (like a day or so prior) 'sneak preview'. Oh, and Bullet Storm is Game of the Show.

For those interested in games being shown, here is a list (posted May 5th so some changes surely occurred). If anyone has a better one, I'd be interested in seeing that for updates/changes since this one still shows Portal 2 for Valve. So far, I'm interested in the FF14 info, the Trion Worlds games, Wahammer 40K MMO, whatever Valve has up their sleeve, SW:TOR. I'm kind of interested in Yakuza 4, Monkey Island 2, Crysis 2, Bulletstorm. Though it definitely feels weird having that many MMOs I'm interested in seeing more from.

I'm most interested in Ubi's Maniaplanet, though it'll invariably be saddled with their crap DRM.

I'll be on the show floor as well. I'm checking out 8 FPSes, 4 MMOs, and Rock Band 3 as my must-see titles. Go figure.

Maybe you guys on the floor can check out new Marvel vs. Capcom & Civ V? Or maybe the Warhammer 40k MMO. I wouldn't mind some updates on those. Is Valkyria Chronicles II only going to be available on PSP?

Is Valkyria Chronicles II only going to be available on PSP?  Most likely. The only thing I've seen stating any hope of a console version is from Wikipedia: In a blog post on the official website, executive producer Shuntaro Tanaka has revealed that the game will keep the BLiTZ system with wireless ad-hoc to be implemented. In addition, Tanaka said that the game's development for the PSP was done "to allow a broader spectrum of users to discover and enjoy what makes Valkyria special." with the possibility of the game being seen in consoles in the near future

Ask the Civ V people when Fall From Heaven 3 will be released  (to clarify: I'm serious!) Nobody excited for Mafia 2? The first was pretty wicked. I'd like to hear a Gothic 4 vs Risen comparison, if anyone has played Risen.

NCsoft doesn't have an E3 booth this year, so no go on that front.
I'll see what I can do about checking out the other stuff. The first Five Hour Energy has been consumed, and I'm one of those bums charging all my electronic devices at the last minute in the hallway.

If they are actually showing any real info on the WH40K MMO, that would be nice.

Motion controls for everyone!  The pricing is a bit steep for both of the HD consoles' solutions as well.
