If Kevin Butler shows up to present with Sony, I wonder how they'll pull it off, considering the VERY recent PSN problems. Will they laugh it off somehow, or completely ignore the subject?

I'm really looking forward to EA's presentation. EA usually does pretty well in the Advertising/PR/Presentation department.

So that list continues to be plausible. There was a moment today when people discovered a "Nintendo Beem" website but it was proven to be a hoax. Also, the person who works at the ESRB's story checks out, they do rate trailers not just games.

Also, more info from that same guy. Again, spoilers: If this turns out to be fake I really apologize, but I wouldn't post it unless I was 99% sure it was real. Most likely it is, but there's always the 1% chance that the guy is trying to perform suicide on his credibility.

Even worse, they announced the presentation is 5 hours. Ya. That sucks. Is it 5 hours of them begging our forgiveness?

@Fusion: Haha it's entertaining. I love E3 rumors. I'm uberexcited though, like you.

I actually bet that Sony has prepped Kevin Butler on what to say should the PSN thing arise.

Unless Microsoft's website got hacked...

Lucasarts is hidding something, i tried to go on the official forum on lucasarts and i can't access to the page, and i am on starwars.com after ...

Both Halo 4 and Halo CE Anniversary (Halo 1) were announced. Halo CE Anniversary looks like its running on the Reach engine and will feature 100% visually enhanced maps and characters, plus remade versions of the original multiplayer maps. Online co-op is also supported. Halo 4 is the start of a new trilogy.

Halo CE Anniversary


Halo 4 (poor quality)

I don't like how the chief looks in Halo CE Anniversary. IMO they should have taken the helmet that is already included in reach. Other than that, I can't complain.

I'm really curious about the new trilogy. It offers a lot of potential, which could be sadly easily screwed.

Halo Anniversary Interview:

Campaign:
Runs on the old engine
Can switch between 2011 graphics and 2001 graphics with a button press
Terminals

MP:
Reach map pack
Six multiplayer maps
One firefight map

I think I'll avoid Halo 4 at first, though if the reviews are good and my friends get it then I'll be there right away. However, Halo Anniversary looks completely bro and I'm definitely getting it.

Posted the interview.






By the way, I totally agree the Chief's helmet looks... odd.

@fusion- even if the exact details are not true Nintendo would be commiting suicide if they didn't make a new mario title, zelda title, Metroid title (with or without the fps part[though i wish it was fps I loved metroid prime, and was unimpressed with Other:M]) and a SSB title, those are some of their top sellers and every console has contained one of these title so long as the title has been in exhistance (with the exception of metroid during N64)

It is generally accepted that nintendo will release a Mario SSB Zelda and *Possibly* a Metroid title (though with the high success of metroid prime I think Nintendo is fully realizing the potential the game has and is striving to keep rolling the title out)

This is ridiculous. Only 7 classic CE maps? What about all the maps that were released for the PC version? There will always be 16 classic CE maps. Also, the revamp looks kinda strange. It doesn't seem to fit in the Reach engine.

As for HALO 4, WOW. I wonder what Bungie feels about all this. Then again, I kind of hope Bungie knew whose hands they left the franchise in, and trusted the devs.

I agree with Grev in every point. Some more multiplayer maps wouldn't hurt, but it's alright if it's gonna be a low budged game. The reach textures don't fit everywhere and the fog/lightning is odd at some places, I really hope they work on some of it.

Here's GTTV/Spikes interview to Halo 4/Anniversary:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2011-halo-4/714845

Just saw the Battlefield 3 gameplay and it looks sick. The tank battle demo could've shown less driving and more actual gameplay though. I really liked the cute dino at the beginning.

The Campaign isn't on the Reach engine. It's the original engine. Trust me, that thing is friggin' powerful. All they're doing is updating textures, models, sounds, etc. However, I wish they wouldn't use the Reach Army instead of the Marines, or the Reach AR instead of a revamped old one. The MP is on hte Reach engine. Also I think the MP can use the second Reach mappack, as Fusion said, though I might have misinterpreted that.
Also, notice the pistol in Halo 4. Weapon attachments?

I really don't know what to say. The new improved Halo 1 looks awesome but I'm not sure I'm particularly fond of the new Master Chief look. I'm really eager to see how Halo 4 plays out. Are we going to be fighting the Covenant again or does this take place after Halo 3? I wonder if we'll find out what happens to John and how he went MIA in the last one.

I just saw the gameplay for BF3 and as soon as I saw it, my jaw dropped. It looks totally awesome. So many good games coming out in the next couple years. Dunno which ones to get.

I would guess at some point you'll get all the HCE maps as DLC, but to have 13 maps in one pack, historically speaking, would cost 2400MSP+. They're likely splitting it up. All I want is for the multiplayer to be cross compatible with Reach.

Saw the new trailer for Star Wars Kinect. Looks pretty sick. Wish I had a Kinect. Is there anything new about SWBF3 or is that the only thing they announced?

I dunno, it looks fun, but the saber combat would make you feel silly.

Oh, you mean going...

LIGHTSABER...

ON!

is too silly for you?
