The Big E3 List: 2009 Edition

The 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo has ditched its lower-key approach from previous years and is supposed to put the "big" back into the "big show" once again. Scheduled to run from June 2-4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, E3 2009 showcases several of the year's hottest games from the industry's most powerful publishers and developers.

Went to the washroom. Be back any minute now.

torontoml6226d ago (Edited 6226d ago )

Its a list of confirmed games not companies, but you know that and are just making a joke.

Why dis6226d ago (Edited 6226d ago )

They don't need to talk right now because they are not hurting. Just like Nintendo. Who cares the devs are leaking some of the non highlight titles without MSFT anyways.

morganfell6226d ago

Don't know Ghost. I fly out on the 1st and will be there for the entire show. This should be good to get back to the E3 of days past. I will be at the keynotes for Sony and MS. We haven't decided if we will attend the Nintendo show or not.

ps921176226d ago (Edited 6226d ago )

The guy above morgenfell is the epicly delusional 360 fanboy. BTW everybody our bubble votes are renewed for him, meaning if anybody feel like he shoud STFU plz feel free to press the red button to the top right of his comment.

Why dis6226d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

Yeah this list is set in stone that all folks.

The irony in your response is staggering. Why would companies not in trouble need to hype games before the event they are suppose to do this? lol

Get some help thats not normal.

Is there something wrong with saying MSFT is not ready to talk? I'm sure that fanboy knew this is the case.

RememberThe3576225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

MS and Nintendo probably have submitted what they're showing just yet. This has nothing to do with them not wanting to hype their games. It's a timing issue.

@below: Good point. I just waisted a bubble...

I think the only people saying anything different are the PS3 only fans in here. You really think - Ghost of Sparta - doesn't realize what you said. I don't know why 1.3 got so many disagrees Microsoft's strategy has always been a shock and awe one when they're able to keep their content secret. They simply do not talk about games when they are not ready to be shown with the exception of delays.
The PS3 fans are nervous this is why they take note of the 360's software comforting themselves with nonsense all the while.

Hell I own the PS3 and I don't even pay attention to whats coming for it. You can imagine the trouble Sony is in when their own fans show more interest in the 360.

Even some PS3 fans know the list is broken based on solid info given so you know #1 was trolling.

morganfell6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

People talk about PS3 fans yet I garner 4 disagrees for saying I am going to E3. If that isn't desperation then nothing is. I'll keep pics posted as I take them.

This is too funny really. Sony is the only camp that has titles this year and everyone knows it. The other two are really sweating, Especially over the fact there might be a PS3 price drop. There isn't a counter for that at all.

Also it's funny Whydis has chosen an avatar from Japanese manga who has titles that have only appeared on Sony platforms.

I did not murder him6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

"Capcom has promised we'll get to try out the boss battle for ourselves this E3 and mentioned plans for a public demo around the same time. As for the final release, that's a ways off still and Capcom won't commit to any specific time frame aside from this winter."

You just should ignore what PS3 fans say they seem to be about as bright as the midnight sun.

Always - Ghost of Sparta - and morganfell

ps921176225d ago

Ignoring the whole entire console wars, just some advice to ppl, when trying to put yourself in a none partisan position as to make your opinion be of more value, try to make it so that it is not obvious to tell that you are lying.

I did not murder him6225d ago

You guys are being laid down without vaseline

morganfell6225d ago

Let them sweat. Sony has 20 first party studios, MS has 3. Who do you think will be showing the most. This get's brought up and the list isn't even close to being complete. Still they are desperate. With what do they respond?

Lost Planet 2 - A meh game who's first iteration wound up on the PS3.

Mass Effect 2 - A game who's predecessor balked on every promise made and who has yet to be denied as coming to the PS3 AND a game that we won't see this year at all.

Forza 3? Maybe? Possibly? Could be?

If that's the only thing they can throw back then they might as well try to take down a flight of F22s with a slingshot.

ShabzS6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

ofcource sony has more first party studios... they have been in the biz for 12 yrs with 3 generations now... microsoft came at the time of ps2 where the 3rd party support was really heavy for the ps brand... gta, resident evil and final fantasy were enough reason to buy a ps2... but microsoft had a good strategy coming into their first generation... they came out with original franchises like halo and fable ... and this generation they took as much thrid party support as possible... and now they have completed that task with the succesful shift of gta, resident evil and final fantasy onto the xbox brand... even with some thrid party exclusives like mass effect and gears of war.... and now i think microsoft will push for more first party support..

they (ms) need a lot of money to come up with first party studios.. i know most people think that ms is rich and has a much larger budjet than sony.. but that is not the case.. except for live and 360 slaes ms does not have a steady revenue ... as opposed to sony's ps1, ps2, psp and now ps3 sales with 20 something first party studios... they are cemented in the industry... ms still needs some time ... sony ruled the previous gens and garnered support from most studios coz they were alone and had no competion.. back then as a dev if you wanted to make a next gen game you'd go to sony because ther was no one else to turn to... but now you have a choice... hence it will take a longer period of time for ms to build first party support... but i'm sure they'll be building it regardless

pippoppow6225d ago

MS may show Lost Planet 2 but.... Takeuchi told the group, "Right now we are concentrating on development for 360," before saying people should stay tuned for any potential announcements. Another timed exclusive? Most likely. Game does look great.

snaz276225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

its so not as simple as that! so your saying ps1 had no competition? what you on about? lol so the n64 wasnt around then? (which i prefered) the reason sony won that gen mainly was their tech choice! and heavy advertising... they chose the cd n64 chose cartridge... even tho cartridge was better it was exspensive so people choose cd... ps2 had no competition? dreamcast? gamecube? xbox? they mean nothing to you? you make out that sony were the only guys making consoles over the past 20 years lmao what the hell are you on about? as for ms now concentrating on first party studios how come then not long ago they decided to axe some studios? seems abit backward dont you think? they are relying on dlc and buying the odd exclusive oh and being cheap (seemingly when in reality they are far from cheap) thats it... will sony win by a big margin like last 2 gens, not a chance... is that a bad thing? hell no i dont care they brought me the best console/media center i could wish for and top notch exclusives to boot!

ShabzS6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

n64? really? apart from mario 64 i cant remember n64.. what do you remember psone for. final fantasy 7? metal gear solid? resident evil 3? ... bluntley putting it ... game cube was a faliure... resident evil 4 came too late in its gen to help it, sega dream cast failed even more... coz even though it had a good tech but with no marketting and no support it failed.. and the original xbox was discontinued oh so suddenly becoz again it came in late on a firmly establishe ps2 market and thus not much support from third parties... this is the first gen that sony is actually facing competition ... this is the first gen that almost all games are evenly spread on both systems.. this is the first gen that everyone is literally fighting for exclusives to stand out from the competition..this is the first gen where sony are forced to change their tactics... psn and trophie support .. this is the first gen they've faced true competetion... which is win win for gamers..

morganfell6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

Shbzshar, you a pretty far off the base. It isn't like MS had zero first party studios last year and now have 3.

They had more studios...THEY HAVE BEEN CLOSING THEM!

Saying they will push for more first party support is a something to laugh about. They had more first party support! They just got rid of it! In fact they just shut down Ensemble that built HALO Wars!

ShabzS6225d ago

this again goes to show that they dont get as much revenue as sony to support their first party studios... they really aren't concrete yet in terms of their revenue ... this is why they charge for live.. imo they need time

Chuk_Chuk6225d ago

To say MS don't have enough money to support first party studios is silly.

MS just don't priorities where their cash goes. Look at all the advertisments that is where MS money goes. if they stopped with all this advertising they would have more than enough cash to open at least 2 studios. Then theres the exclusive DLC. Fallout 3, GTA 4 and the (possible) money used to secure FF13 as a multi. That cash could have gone into opening studios and funding projects.

and the reason they charge for live is to keep the servers running but they make a profit out of that something like over 50 billion is made from live just by subscription but yet we don't see this money go into new studios. They use it to secure timed exlcusives and DLC. All those ways that MS have made money but are not spending the cash wisely.

You said sony where financally sound, but looking after 20 studios is not an easy task thats why you very rarely see a sony AD cause they need that revenue to feed their 20 studios and fund the projects.

FamilyGuy6225d ago

Does it really need to say "New" next to every game?
When does Bayonetta come out anyways?

I did not murder him6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

I fail to see what that has to do with my point which was IGN being all over the place. Little kiddies do that, they can't control what lies beneath emotionally and will mold thought, comments or what they read based on that.

Arnon6225d ago

"Mass Effect 2 (PC, X360) NEW"

WOOOOO CANT WAIT!

Toenado6226d ago (Edited 6226d ago )

cant wait for E3, hopefully WKC gets a release date thats not too far away. also team ico?

RememberThe3576225d ago

And I think the Team Ico game is going to be shown at TGS.

pippoppow6225d ago

Really should be out by the end of summer the latest, I would think. I know they are working on voice chat before the NA release but a whole year to localize seems pretty long. I'm sure Sony has more than enough to show at E3 that they can push the unveiling of a new Team ICO game until TGS. Hopefully they keep a similar visual art style.

SmokingMonkey6226d ago

you know Sony is going to show MAG...they have to, or was this a list of new stuff? or just confirmed?

ps921176226d ago

Only the ones that are confirmed, meaning that the developers have said so themselves that the games will showcased.

kingme716226d ago

Where has Darksiders gone off to? That had alot of press back in '08 and disappeared. I hope that isn't a bad sign.

Maybe E3 is a 2nd coming out.

Sony Rep6225d ago (Edited 6225d ago )

Looks like someone forgot to phone Microsoft-- unsurprisingly... haha

Don't miss my keynote ya... hahaha

RememberThe3576225d ago

They're easy to forget. Hopefully they'll show some games that gamers want to play.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle19d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg25d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree25d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai25d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
