It's good news as far as I'm concerned. I thought I was going to have to miss out on it because I'm waiting for a PS3 price drop now.

I just woke up in Japan after a late night of watching the Nintendo conference until 3am, I kinda forgotten that the MS show was on the same day, so I ate my breakfast and turned on my 360 to play some BF.
HOLY FUCK 32 of my 45 buddies are online... usually it's around 4. "Why?" Checked Market place "OMG" etc. Checked GAF "OMG2" etc
Been said many time in this thread before but 360+Wii for the motherfucking win. Bye bye Sony, maybe if you weren't resting on you laurels and being so arrogant (ala N64 era Nintendo) you might have had a chance.

They cut a few seconds short of the end of the HALO 3 trailer, like 15 seconds short where the H3 logo is flashed and Cortana says the it's the end of the world. You can get the trailer from Bungie anyway.

Okay, i left GAF for work, and the last thing i read was that GTA4 was 360 exclusive on nov. 17
not only did i fucking think it was exclusive, but i thought it was THIS YEAR. now it's 2007, and a simultaneous release with ps3/360? gaf had me worried.
btw, we're getting calls all day about ps3 pre orders, and most say theyre getting the $600 version

i do agree that nintendo had a solid if not spectacular show just like ms did but sony's conference was just plain bad...........it was extremely uninspiring and dissapointing in so many different ways (2 skus,downgradeatons,20 mins of hd gt..etc)....it was truly the one of the worst moments in sony history..sad, reallyHimuro said:
I think Nintendo's conference just beat Microsoft's personally. Wii games just looked like fun. I'll also be picking up a DSlite when it's available here. So they sold me on that as well.
Nintendo>>MS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sony
I was interested in the Windows/Mobile/Xbox360 Live features however. I see a lot of potential there.
Oh btw ignore the sig. I was more in MS's camp prior to E3.

not sure if its been posted but the new 1up podcast is up
Shane goes MIA today, so I hop in as we evaluate Nintendo and Microsoft's big press conferences earlier in the day. What do we think of the Wii (and why is Nintendo downplaying a new Mario game?), just how much does Halo 3 excite us, (a lot), and Shane sends his love via text messaging, with his letter grades for both publishers.
Download today's show here, and head on over to the show's official message board to give us feedback and answer our E3 Question of the Day.
Tomorrow: hands-on with the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 games. You know, the real reason why we're here.
HMMMMMMMM.....

Overreacting about Shadowrun I expected, I'm disappointed they don't have a gameplay trailer up on shadowrun.com yet. I've been lucky to have seen this game beforehand and the gameplay will not let you down.
I can only describe the game like this: Think of Halo 2 or PDZ multiplayer, but mix in the customization of a game like Tribes, add the force type magic from KOTOR, and then to make things really interesting add a bunch of things which have never been done in FPS games before:
- Magic such as resurrecting dead bodies to fight for you, throwing people against walls KOTOR style, teleporting through walls
- Tech upgrades you can buy which make you do cool stuff like see through walls or jump 100 feet in the air.
- Elves running with katanas and chopping people in half, nuff said.
The graphics they are working hard to revamp - they have until next January. It has the same problem that PDZ had - it was originally an Xbox 1 game and I believe it was originally targetted for 2005 before the push for 360 started. I expect it will look very nice when it comes out, considering it needs to handle large amounts of characters jumping around the screen without unfair slowdown on the 360 version.

By the way, technically this is very true:

"Most games Ive worked on in the past only got fun right at the end of the project, but our approach on this one was prove the gameplay now, and make it look pretty later. The game is rock-solid, and now that we have a team of artists cranking out the next-gen content, its starting to look awesome."
FASA is a very programmer-heavy company - they did a great job making a great game, and the game isn't going to change very much between now and January so I expect them to be cranking 100% on making it look as nice as possible.
This will be the #1 which people come away saying about Shadowrun - possibly the most fun game at E3:
"One thing thats great about Shadowrun? Its fun as hell to play. Weve been playing this game in one form or another for quite a while now. Still fun."
