Too bad you couldn't see GHIII versus Rock Band footage by GrantChastain	Jul 16th, 2007 10:51:45 AM
To me, that's the true test of which game franchise gets my money. Put aside all the animosity these two groups obviously have for each other and tell me -- which one is going to be more fun?
Very impressive, Amoebalove. by GrantChastain	Jul 16th, 2007 10:52:48 AM
How about tomorrow morning you get up nice and early and pedal your Huffy down to the local Wal-Mart and wait there at 4am? Then you can be first there too! Won't your mom be proud? I'll be sure to ask her after we clean up the wet spot.
First!!! by azzezino	Jul 16th, 2007 10:56:32 AM
Holy shit I'm first. Guitar Hero 3 looks awesome.
Damn, fourth. by azzezino	Jul 16th, 2007 10:57:35 AM
I took too long to type. Call of Duty 4 looks great.
CoD4 by Salamander	Jul 16th, 2007 11:09:34 AM
Be interesting when it does come out how it compares to GRAW2. I personally loved GRAW but GRAW2 was better albeit too short for single player but much improved satellite control! Loved CoD2 especially the big feel when on the beaches and attacking gun turrets it just felt big whlist CoD3 felt too restricted, better graphics but too linear and not the feeling of a vast battle field IMHO. Look forward to this CoD4 especially with the CoD2 guys at the helm..looking sweet and if its as good as it looks then GRAW will have to raise its game for number 3 - sure looks good for us gamers!!
couldn't get into GRAW by FILMFUNK	Jul 16th, 2007 11:35:50 AM
Felt too fiddly, Rainbow 6 Vega was the nuts and am waiting for Crysis with baited breath. This does look like a well needed shot in the arm for the Call of Duty games with some stunning looking action sequences. Anyone know when it's out? Oh! and is GRAW2 a lot better than GRAW or just a wee bit because I'm tempted. :o)
What I really want to know is... by Johnno	Jul 16th, 2007 12:36:03 PM
Does the Guitar Hero III guitar on PS3 have backwards compatability with Guitar Hero I and II??? Can anyone freakin tell me???
GH3 vs. Rockband Guitar by Baltimoron	Jul 16th, 2007 01:06:14 PM
What sucks is you buy GH3 and get a guitar, but then when Rockband comes out it's a different guitar with more features! The pics of the drumset look awesome though. They say that playing the drums in Rockband on Hard difficulty is basically learning how to play the drums.
I love Guitar Hero by Leopold Scotch	Jul 16th, 2007 01:12:42 PM
But Rock Band looks like it'll become some sort of gaming-music institution. It looks absurdly good. The druming looks cool, but apparently the guitar part alone is more advanced in gameplay (five extra fret buttons) and content than any previous GH game. Oh yeah, and there will be the ability to download entire classic albums to play on, the first of which is Who's Next, one of the greatest Rock Albums of all time. The only downside is the potential price, and the fact that singing part would probably be pretty embarassing. Still, I'm a drummer myself, and the drum part on expert should be able to teach people things actually aplicable to druming, which GH was never really able to do for guitars. As one of the developers said, if you can play the drum part on expert, you can prety much play the drums.
And I'm with Monki by Leopold Scotch	Jul 16th, 2007 01:13:53 PM
"It goes up to eleven" is possibly the most overused joke ever. It achieved cliché status long ago.
Baltimoron by Leopold Scotch	Jul 16th, 2007 01:17:35 PM
You beat (get it, beat?) me to it.
Call of Duty is gonna rock by kilik777	Jul 16th, 2007 01:44:02 PM
I have all the major e3 trailers all gathered here. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
No Unreal Tournament 3? by RowanM	Jul 16th, 2007 02:09:12 PM
That's the one I'm waiting for. Out November.
hey....more of the same by professor mctoots	Jul 16th, 2007 02:21:22 PM
since sequels and games based on movies are so popular, why doesn't somebody get crackin on kotor3? i need something to take up 60+ consecutive hours of my life again.
Guitar Hero backwards compability by Bouncy X	Jul 16th, 2007 05:13:39 PM
i couldnt see why you couldnt play the previous games, i mean the guitars are all the same right? same amount of buttons and all so i'd find it odd if you can't. so i'm sure PS3 owners will be able to play parts 1 and 2...and 360 owners will be able to play part 2. as for Rock Ban, it shouldnt be too expensive because one of the producers said you wont have to buy the whole band set, each instrument will be available individually. i'm sure there will also be package deals but yeah. the guy said u could just get the guitar then go online to find other people to fill the rest of the band.
Bee Movie is an awful title by keanho_in_nyc	Jul 16th, 2007 05:55:08 PM
and Bee Movie Game is even worse.
E3 sucked Michael Bay's coke covered cock by Doc_Strange	Jul 16th, 2007 07:43:12 PM
They went to big exposition to absolutely nothing. The LA convention center has dozens of unused rooms to conduct business in while the trade show is going on over at the main floor. I don't see why they felt the need to fuck with something that was a great spectacle. The problem is these game corporations are beginning to think they're great, unlike most of the games they put out every year. Seriously, how many truly great games come out in one year? Maybe one or two. Others are delegated to sequels and formulas that have become stale. The only game that anyone should look forward to this year is fucking Crysis. That game alone WILL BEAT THE SHIT out of you and your Halo sequels. Honorary mention goes out to Call of Duty 4.
Doc_Strange: What the? by Darkhart	Jul 16th, 2007 08:30:38 PM
Crysis? You've got be fucking kidding me. On topic, I am going to have no money for the rest of the year thanks to some of these titles.

Best part of E3? Jade Raymond. by Boondock Devil	Jul 17th, 2007 01:58:25 AM
...oh... Assasin's Creed looks pretty damn good too I guess.
Keanho by half vader	Jul 17th, 2007 02:36:18 AM
You do get the joke though right?
So Monki you're going to punch yourself in the face? by half vader	Jul 17th, 2007 02:38:54 AM
For using "11" in an article yourself. Stupe.
Guitar Hero video is fucking broken by RokurGepta	Jul 17th, 2007 03:05:20 AM

Isn't new Metal Gear by FILMFUNK	Jul 17th, 2007 04:53:42 AM
Coming on XBox 360 and PS3 ?
FILMFUNK by Boondock Devil	Jul 17th, 2007 05:06:38 AM
I think it was rumored that Metal Gear 4 "might" get ported to the 360. My money is on that it'll get released some time well after it's out for the PS3 like they did with MGS 2.
i liked the first guitar by misnomer	Jul 17th, 2007 02:47:49 PM
i liked the first guitar hero, but the second one was pretty stale. plus, the games still dont beat the fun of playing a guitar solo for real. maybe they could make a controller with like 2 or 3 rows, get some simple chord shapes in there to spice things up more. playing as famous lead guitarists is a nice touch though.
and some of the soundalikes by misnomer	Jul 17th, 2007 02:49:26 PM
and some of the soundalikes were pretty bad in GH2, heres hoping theyve got that down again.
Rockband Video by Baltimoron	Jul 18th, 2007 01:25:34 PM
First video I've seen of Rockband. All instruments. Crap video (probably off someones phone), but it's something. http://tinyurl.com/377cgd
