The E3 2008 Thread
Storm Rider:
Final Fantasy 13 is officially multiplatform, and coming on the same date as the PS3 version.. Definitely the biggest bomb of the Microsoft conference. Other tidbits from Square Enix's segments include release dates for Infinite Undiscovery and the 360 version of Last Remnant (September 2nd and November 20th, respectively). Star Ocean 4 is coming to the 360 in Spring '09. I assume they would confirm it as an exclusive if it was, so it's probably just leading on 360.
The rumored karaoke game Lips is real, and is being developed by iNis, aka the Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan developers. You can turn music from your iPod/Zune into songs, which is a big deal, and the microphone has some sort of motion sensing built in that affects your score. I guess it's encouraging you to dance or something while you sing, which is neat.
Full Rock Band 2 tracklist is announced, pretty much the same as the one leaked a week or so ago. All 75 licensed songs can be found here.
KvP:
Sony's going to have to pull out something huge to overcome that FF13 bomb. Looks like Microsoft is gonna win this E3. Because it's a competition.
Ozymandias:
FF vs. XIII is still PS3 exclusive, FFXIII is only going to 360 in NA and EU(which makes sense because...uh...why would Japan car eif it's on 360?)
Storm Rider:
It's all but assumed that Sony's going to pull out some God of War 3 in their press conference, but unless it's both actual gameplay and looks really good, I don't think that it'll be enough to overcome the FF13 bomb. Still, Sony has some neat stuff on the horizon, I don't want to belittle what they're offering.
Storm Rider:
Alright, that's about it for today. Tomorrow should be the biggest day for announcements, with 5 press conferences rather than only 2 (Nintendo, Sony, Ubisoft, Capcom, and Activision, in that order). Fallout 3 and Dead Space look fucking fantastic from the footage I've seen, but most of the other stuff looked promising as well.
I played through the Too Human demo earlier today, and my reactions are mixed. On the one hand, the combat isn't as exciting as I had hoped, even considering the genre. However, I didn't end up totally hating it (as I had feared I might), and as the demo ended I really did want to play more of the game, which means ultimately I guess it succeeded. I got some neat looking shit by the end (including a bigass warhammer that looked pretty awesome), so the loot aspect certainly seems right for this type of game. I still love the concept, and the demo definitely presented enough of the story to get me interested to see more. I especially loved the contrast between cyberspace and the 'real' world, it's a cool effect.
Several publications are going to be putting up podcasts with impressions on the day's conferences (and other stuff, if they saw it in private). My personal favorites are the 1Up Yours and Giant Bomb podcasts, for those who want to hear some insider opinions.
