E3 2013 Hype Thread!

Forgot that it was coming up next week!  Don't know if I'm actually looking forward to anything, but I'll keep an earpiece in and a small video going on my work computer those days...

Haven't paid attention to E3 in a long time, but I'm actually kind of curious about how Microsoft is going to handle things. After that pathetic Xbox One reveal, their attempts to win back the fans are probably going to be hilarious.

I am interested to see if Sony and Microsoft differ much. This last console generation, it really came down to which controller one liked better. Same games minus a handfull of exclusives. This is one major positive I will give microsoft, they announced 8 new IPs from their studios. This is something the video game world has been missing. And a lot of their exclusives are fairly good and unique such as viva pinata.

I'm also anxiously awaiting the release of the DudeBro sequel from Microsoft.

Does anyone know if there's any T.V. coverage of it this year, since G4 is no longer with us?

Man, I hate Geoff Keighley, but if they're the only game in town, then I guess that's what I'm watching. I know, there's PC coverage, but I've always watched it from the comfort of my couch with the convenience of a DVR to FF through stupid crap.

Yeah, Spike will be showing Microsoft's and EA's press event and playing the movie Dodgeball during Sony's. Probably not showing Nintendo's 1 hour Direct.


Personally I'm most hyped for Nintendo's showing (Smash, new 3D Mario, Mario Kart, whatever Retro is working on, definitely more), since today's news about the Xbox One pretty much removes all chances I'll buy one new anyways, and I'm still waiting to see what Sony's plans are in regards to DRM. I'll still enjoy seeing what all the new games are for all the systems though.

I think Apple Pippin 2 and Atari 9500 will finally be announced this year.

Psshhh. That's nothing. I've heard the Gizmondo 2 is gonna be announced. Sticky Ballz: The Return!

I guess "Stickier Ballz" was just a development name.

It's for real:



But I thought it was spelled with a Z.

The Gizmondo was a handheld system released by some guy with ties to the mafia, and the system died because he went to prison. Sticky Balls was it's exclusive "killer app".

I hate him too. He reminds me of someone that would be the #1 salesman at Gamestop. Just ugh ... Glad you guys are here and will give me the highlights!

I'm excited, SquareEnix will be releasing a ton of new info on FFXIV.  I've been playing the beta but they don't share much with us either
