E3 so far: Ultra Edition

Fuckign shitloads shown:

Sony

PS3

Final Fantasy XIII

Looking as sexually awesome as ever, with some new details available. Apparently each character has a specific summon they're partered with, which might go some way to making the character choices for your party less arbitrary. Also there's a predictive auto battle type mechanic to get you through the grinding with minimal effort.
Apparently the summons join you on the battlefield in the same style as X and XII and can then transform. Shiva turns into a fucking motorbike and then you can ride around and smash the shit out of stuff. And you do this via a little action minigame, which sounds ace.

Gran Turismo 5

Absolutely fuck all on this except a trailer showing rally stages. No date, not info, nothing. It's almost like they don't want us to give a shit about it.

Final Fantasy XIV

Fucking ace. It's a sequel to XI and is an online game, so I'll probably never play it, but that doesn't matter because it looks lovely. There's a trailer and screenshots here.

PSP

GT Portable

Sony seem to have finally got off their lazy arses and done some fucking work of GT Portable. Apparently it's due out on 1 October alongside the new PSP and has 800 cars, 35 tracks and 60 different race routes.

When it was initially announced back at the dawn of time it was supposed to be a near perfect port of GT4 but it looks like they're taking it in it's own direction now. Fuck knows how anyone who's got used to playing proper GT will cope what that stupid analogue nipple for driving though

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Kojima has shown the above logo and stated that the new MGS for PSP will be a proper MGS game, directed and written by him and set ten years after MGS3. It's about Big Boss founding outer heaven and will probably be just as unwieldy as the other PSP versions, but a shit load mentaller if Hideo is directing.

Resident Evil Portable

Absolutely fuck all on this so far. Seems that Sony are desperately trying to make the PSP a viable platform without remembering that all the big franchises in the world wont replace decent controls and something to protect your giant shiny screen.


Nintendo

Wii

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Awesome, now there will be like, four Wii games worth playing. Due 2010, it's got Yoshi in it and Mario can straddle ride him. Also he can puff up like a balloon or some unimportant shit. The key point is this: It's a fucking Mario game.

New Zelda Next year

Miyamoto has stated that they'll announe the next Wii Zelda game next year and that it “may” be Motionplus exclusive. Apparently there was artwork showing a Link similar to that of Twilight Princess and a femal Zora. So pretty much fuck all on this so fa, except confirmation that it's happening, which means fuck all from Nintendo and their history of announcing stuff that never happens.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom

Apparently this is getting a US release with exclusive characters and online play. It's a MvC style fighting game with Tatsunoko characters, which is a Japanese animation studio. Supposedly quite good, this is no way makes up for the lack of MvC3. You hear that you cunts at Capcom? I WANT MY FUCKING MARVEL VS CAPCOM.

Sin & Punishment 2

Also unlikley to make it over here, this looks badass just like it's badass forbear and everything badass Treasure have ever made.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Five! Five decent Wii games. This is the sequel to the painfully fantastic NSMB on DS, a game so good it caused my penis to swell up and offend passing strangers. This version is four player co-operative and will be fucking amazing. Apparently there's a new Propeller suit, where Mario has a propeller attached to his head. While playing you yank the remote up to make them fly into the air. That's all kinds of amazing.

DS

Golden Sun DS

Fuck yeah, a sequel to one of the GBA's best original IP's. Not developed by camelot but hopefully still awesome. Trailer:


WarioWare DIY

Genuinely didn't expect to see Made in Ore ported this quickly or at all. It's a WarioWare game where you make and share your own minigames and uses the Dsi camera. I'm personally planning to make a game where I photograph my arse and erect cock and then force other people to make me fuck myself.

Microsoft

Avatar Store

MS are finally going to do something with their stupid Mii ripoffs by ringing yet more cash out of you. You will soon be able to buy and unlock clothes for your avatars, as if anyone gives a shit.

Hands on with an 8 year old boy Milo

People have used this now and seem to be quite impressed by it. Milo can talk to you, remember your name, remember your face and address you by name and Natal will let you grab things he throws to you and splash water and stuff.

Still genuinely struggling to see how this will work as anything other than a tech demo, I'd imagine if they make it into a game it will be boring, like Nintendogs, which was basically a tech demo gone too far. Molyneux also confirmed that you can have a girl instead f Milo, if you've always wanted to hang out with an 8 year old girl.

Still, it's less retarded than Microsofts own uses for Project Natal, which include beating up old men.

Metal Gear Solid Rising

No new info, just this picture with a logo. MS have had such a shitty conference so far I feel the need to post this as they're showing so little that I give a fuck about.
