Ballots are in: Nope.

Golden Sun DS! Happy Happy Joy Joy

but no new Zelda

Modern Warfare 2 didn't seem that innovative to me. The ice climbing looked ace, but they turned Soap into a thug.

The combat looked rather boring.

**Ozymandias**

It seemed just like CoD4/MW1 but that's not a bad thing as I really, really enjoyed that game.

How do we know Soap wasn't a thug?

I mean, given that we played as him, never talked, etc...

Going into Sony's press conference I was wondering if they would just beg their loyal followers to wait around another year or not. But after the tech demo of their motion controls I feel slightly more optimistic. But I still have to ask myself, "What does PS3 have that isn't coming out on XBox already?" and the answer is, not a lot I want to play.

Final Fantasy 14 . . .

but. . . but. . .

**BrookM**

In the console wars it's all about exclusive titles these days.

**Anung Un Rama**

Since Jak&Daxter 4 will come out for PS2 I'll hold my enthusiams for the PS3 until they finally announce a FF7 remake. Square-Enix is remaking and releasing their old stuff left and right. A return to Midgar is only a matter of time.

No, no. You've got it all wrong. It's only called Final Fantasy 14, it's actually Final Fantasy 12 (2).

Ah so true the evil EA empire must march on as always.

If this wasn't a MMORPG that takes place a thousand years before anything else I'm interested in in Star Wars I might actually look forward to this.

Someone got some anime fan on my Metroid, quick, get a towel!

**whatwhat**

Anyone else not recognise that project natal thing is just complete bulshit, like nothing exists yet all it is is an idea. The videos were all mock ups. It's obviously some panic induced reaction to sony's motion device.

Honestly they should be getting ripped to shreds for that. And stephen spielberg says "what an achievment", what achievment? it doesn't exist! Its comparable to someone hosting a press conference about an idea for a time machine.

**Squig_herder**

I am abit behind and i already know most of what micro$oft has coming out, is there any more news on the PSP Go? or anything ground breaking from sony?

-I know about heavy rain & the FF's

**BrookM**

PSP Go lacks a UMD drive and costs $250,-- USD

**Anung Un Rama**

huzza!

1UP wrote:At a recent developer roundtable with Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed director revealed the first details on an as yet unnamed Zelda title scheduled to come to Wii in 2010. The title will definitely use the recently released Wii MotionPlus, and, depending on the popularity of the controller, it may even require the peripheral.

During the discussion, Miyamoto briefly showed an image from the game featuring a mature Link barely visible through a broken wall. Although the picture only showed Link from behind, a short girl in a long robe stood in full view at Link's back. Wearing a crystal necklace and emanating a blue aura, she gave off an otherworldly look -- akin to Zora from Ocarina of Time.

Miyamoto had hoped to show off the game at Nintendo's E3 press conference, but his development team wanted to focus on defining the concept for this Zelda iteration. The team has been experimenting with different gameplay and dungeon designs and they decided that their time would be better spent focusing on the game, rather than a demo.

What? It does exist though. They had people playing a few tech demo esq mini games with it during the show. From what they've told us, the Peter Molyneux thing was operating in some capacity but only seen behind closed doors.

Motion control is probably one of the things we will never get rid of at this point. It's going to be hounding us and getting into all our games, we will never be able to veg out on the couch and just play video games anymore.

er, what?

Did you not watch the tech demos, done on live TV?

Don't be such a blind fanboy that you deny it when facts are in your face.

Natal's been registered with the US Patent Office for a few months now, but everyone was of the opinion that Microsoft was just patenting the IDEA, and didn't have a working tech.

And boy were they wrong.

Here's another game that looks pretty sweet

Hideo Kojima is working on a new Castlevania

I guess in the end we'll find out, that the main character is actually the clone of Draculas long lost son and everything was just a training excercise to find out if he had the skills to become the next lord of Castleva....lalelulilo.....

You right I never saw the tech demos, I'm talking about the press conference. They didn't show nothing in that.

And I own a xbox you douchebag I'm no "fanboy."

Please don't derail this thread guys.
I haven't seen natal so far, but I heard Molyneux was very excited about it and...well, Tycho from Penny Arcade put it very eloquently when he said:

Peter Molyneux has no credit with me - he must always pay in advance, cash only. I am completely impervious to him, so when he says that he's invented some kind of digital boy this firm assertion is refracted into harmless light. Illusions of the kind he proposes are tremendously fragile - it's hard enough to maintain them in raw text, without the idiosyncrasies of the nested recognition systems in play with Milo. Please understand: I love the future, and I long to live there. I want very much to simulate a cognizant digital imp. But this man has broken my heart so many times that it can no longer contain love.

I would play it and love it, just like I did with MGS. Can't wait for "Rising" and "Peacewalker"

On the other hand I think I'll get the new Halos, and can't fething wait for Mass Effect Two
