So, yeah, E3 and stuff.

Speak your mind, or lack thereof. There may occasionally be on-topic discussions.

How can you like cords better? Wireless just feels so....good.

Oh, and where's this FFVII tech demo you people speak of?

-DOA4 is going to be for the 360. Didn't I say so, Gibbon?

However, this is one of those times where I wish I wasn't right.

-Also, it seems FFXI is going to be ported to the 360. It's surprising, although I don't really care.

-360 will be backwards compatible with X-box 1 games

-360 will have around 25-40 games at launch.

360 is only confirmed backward compatible with "top selling Xbox games"

We don't know if it will play them all yet...

FFXI for 360 is stupid, the damn games like 3 years old and everyone who wants it already has it. It was probably a cheap deal allowing Microsoft to brag about Squeenix support

FFVII material can be found at Gamespot.com

It won't play them all. It will have to be specifically built to emulate specific titles... that's the only way they can do it without including a second graphics chip.

This popped into my vision and made me screech like Mariah Carey:

No, not because a Pirates of the Caribbean world is going to appear in Kingdom Hearts 2, oh no; because I will have to stomach Keira Knightley in something else. The horror! Parley!

Dude! It has Jack Sparrow! Jack. Fucking. Sparrow. More than makes up for Keira Knightley. My respect for KHII just went up several notches.

It wasn't nearly as great as all the nerds who obsess over and repeatedly quote every vaguely clever line make it out to have been, but it was good.

Yeah. I was surprised by the movie's decency, and the appearance in KHII even moreso. Doesn't seem like something they'd do. You have to admit, this news is pretty cool.

As of right now, The Revolution has to be the most embarrassing piece of crap (aside from “Nintendogsâ€￾) to have been showcased at the E3. Nintendo is really disappointing me right now, which is a shame, because I fucking love them. But this, THIS, is just pathetic, and there is no excuse to have showed off this half-assed, unfinished, black square. You go to X-Box’s site, Sony’s console site, and they give you their specs for their consoles. You go to Nintendo, and you get this.. “will deliver game experiences not previously possible.â€￾ Seriously, grow up. This is unprofessional. Show me one game. Anything. I don’t care.

They don’t even have that ready for you.

There is a rumor going around amongst Nintendo fanboys saying Nintendo will release everything about The Revolution, as well as games, and basically a complete overhaul of what we saw. That there, goes to show you they are disappointed, aswell.

Oh, and is anybody here really excited about the new GBA style? I so desperately want to eat my words about Nintendo later, but as of right now.. all hope is lost for me.

I’ll have another beer, please.

The Revolution won't be released until well into next year. Considering that, it doesn't seem unusual to me that they're not showing everything off just yet. The only reason they showed as much as they did was to remind everyone that hey, they're coming out with a new console, too. Sony was in the same situation; they were just more prepared. Not a big deal, though.

So that explains that, I suppose. Nintendo could have shown off some diagrams, or pictures, or specs (for that matter) to atleast give you an idea of what to expect. This goes far more beyond being unprepared. This is just laziness.

Still, there is hope for tomarrow. I have a feeling they might release something worth showcasing. Because Metroid Pinball, Mario Party, and Mario Baseball just don't cut it.

I thought Jack Sparrow was getting a more cartoon-ish look when I heard about it. His current form is fine and all, I just thought.

I'm still a bit unsure of Jack Sparrow in it when I really just wanted them Disney cartoon films, but then again, it does have Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Caribbeen was a decent film...

Nintendo isn't going to surprise us with anything else this E3. Their surprise is the Revolution, and they aren't ready to show it to us yet. So what we get is some shitty filler. It sucks now, but at least it means that they could still potentially be working on something worthwhile.

I hope.

It's not laziness. Microsoft and Sony just rushed their systems out the door so fast the fucking spooked Nintendo into releasing half-finished information too early.
