If we don't have a release date for TOR by 9th June, I'm going to lose the plot!

[Peter McCoy]

I really like the sound of Prey 2 - read about it in a magazine the other day. I'm hoping for some Skyrim footage and info. And for GODS SAKE Valve, please fuck off with your Left 4 Dead sequels and your Portals - I WANT HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE 3 AND I WANTED IT LAST YEAR! DELIVER, DAMN YOU! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!

I feel better now, the voices have stopped.

Oooh, more Bioshock Infinite as well, please E3!

[Sanis Prent]

That Prey 2 trailer looks fucking amazing

[Morgan Evanar]

Man that trailer is awesome.

I never thought I'd be excited for a Tomb Raider game, but this new one looks quite pleasant so far. As a series reboot it holds a lot of potential compared to the other sequels that have been droned out of the last few years.

Starting to look pretty polished to me...

[Droo]

That was a stunning trailer. The game is really starting to look dynamic and fun, and the locations are jaw-dropping.

[Captain Untouchable]

I'm really, really looking forward to all of the little characterisations. I can't wait to have a snarktastic sidekicks following me around. :3

[Atreyu]

The game looks fantastic. Now we just need them to release it. :shakefist

[Peter McCoy]

Apparently Sega will be featuring Aliens: Colonial Marines this year. A new teaser was released the other day so hopefully E3 will have some actual gameplay footage for us!

I'm also looking forward to Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Also, Dark Souls, the follow-up to the incredibly difficult Demon's Souls that I've yet to finish but absolutely adore. There's also the expectation that Nintendo will official announce what they're referring to as Project Café - their new home games console.

Does anyone think that one of the big 3 is going to announce new hardware?
The Xbox 360 is in the 6th year of its lifecycle and if Microsoft wants to stay ahead of Sony in North America they need to make a move.

I think Nintendo would do everyone a favour if they released Zelda on their new console since to be honest Skyward Sword looked even for a Wii game dated.

GET READY TO ENTER THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE IN AN ENTIRELY NEW WAY. FEATURING ICONIC SETTINGS, CHARACTERS AND ACTION, KINECT™ STAR WARS™ PUTS YOU IN THE STAR WARS YOU KNOW AND LOVE, AND LETS YOU UNLEASH YOUR INNER JEDI - WITH NO CONTROLLER IN THE WAY.

[Peter McCoy]

While unleashing Force Powers with my barehands would be cool, I doubt it will actually be any good.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Yup. Aside from the fact that I don't own an Xbox, it doesn't appeal to me at all.

[Tear]

Mmm like my some far cry 3!

Also saw the trailers for Halo 4 and Assassins Creed: Revelations. Right now though im busy drooling over the Battlefield 3's tank and multiplayer trailers. Oompha!

[Tear]

Battlefield 3! TANKS! Oompha!

Tanks for the memories!

I like the new fully Kinect enabled dashboard for the Xbox360 since I already use voice commands for watching DVDs and even starting the not kinect enabled games this sounds like a good idea.

Plus voice commands for Mass Effects in battles and in dialog trees. This worked well with games like Rainbow Six Vegas and Endwar before so this could really help the immersion.
...Now you just have to punch into the screen for the physical dialog interaction so that you can feel more badass as Femshep!
Oh and there are melee weapons in ME3.

AC: Revelations had an awesome CGI trailer.

[Peter McCoy]

The expectations were correct - the Nintendo Wii U has officially bee announced:

http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=15644

Some very brief but very awesome footage of Aliens: Colonial Marines. The article I read mentioned that the Wii U controller can be held and used like a motion tracker - you wave it around your living room to scan the area for movement, and the built-in screen can display a map of the colony. ,like when Hudson is checking that overhead map for the colonists PDT's. Sweet!

EDIT:


"Pitchford says Colonial Marines is set months after the events of Aliens, and that he sees it as a sequel to the movie. Gearbox’s Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel says that Colonial Marines will tie up some elements from that film. For instance, players might learn what happened to Hudson when he was pulled through the floor by a xenomorph."

Fuck yeah! Game Over! My Ass!
