E3 2009 Hitlist!

Littlefoot1616 · **on:** June 05, 2009, 09:45:24 PM

Hey fellow gamers!

Anyone been keeping in touch with the latest E3 news?! By the sounds of it there are some huge titles on the way across all platforms for the end of this year and the start of next. Some big surprises announced on the gaming front including these hot hitters:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Yoshi's in this one as a rideable character!
New Legend of Zelda Title - it was only announced but nothing released in terms of footage
Metal Gear Solid: Rising - Raiden's story as to how he becomes how he does in MGS4 (so it is speculated)
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker - the bridging story between MGS3 and what was to become Outer Heaven in the first Metal Gear game back in the 80s
Trico - From the makers of the PS2 smash hit ICO and Shadow of Collossus
Metroid: Other M - With the Prime series over, this all new Metroid adventure is under development of Team Ninja (the same guys that made Ninja Gaiden and NG: Sigma series). Unlike Prime, demo videos show a much more dynamic pitch shift jumping from 1st to 3rd person perspective whilst showing off some stylish Samus flair
The Conduit - Wii's hardcore shooter is grounds for some serious competition for those who think the little white box is just for kiddies!
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 - not much need to be said for this. Kinda goes without saying
God of War 3 - Bloodier and more brutal than ever. The final chapter of Kratos versus the Gods of Olympus. Seriously, you could become a surgeon after seeing the body parts fly about in this game!
Uncharted 2 - the first one was great and this one looks even better!
Assassin's Creed 2 - Now set in the Italian Renaissance peroid, a descendant of Altair takes to the streets with all new moves, new weapons...and the ability to swim (chants: HALLEUJAH!)

Those are the ones that peaked my interests...anyone got any others? Failing that, any other news on what's been shown? looks like

Lookinh forward to Ratchet and Clank a Crack in time. Theres a new Lombax character in it, and Qwark's in it too. I hope Talwyn's in it too, she deserves to be Ratchet's love interest

F-14 Ace · **Reply #6 on:** June 06, 2009, 02:38:51 AM

I'm waiting for mainly BioShock 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

Noname · **Reply #7 on:** June 06, 2009, 02:45:55 AM

Here's hoping the new Final Fantasy and God of War will be as good as the previous entries in their series'.

Explorer · **Reply #8 on:** June 06, 2009, 05:10:15 AM

Well, you better stop nibbling your cuticles now Lillefot. An English translation to FF13 isn't due until at least March/April next year. I guess it's an improvement from December 2010 so I guess we can be grateful for that much. At least we've got Dissidia (PSP) and the 2 other Kingdom Hearts games to look forward to this year.

There has been a formal announcement of Final Fantasy 14 but like #11 it will be an online only but it will be across PS3, 360 and PC.

You have no fear of that Noname. Check out some of the trailer on youtube or any big gaming site. They've got all the reviews and videos there. They look just a little bit awesome

Don't worry there. This new title is for Wii. Apparently, Miyamoto-san is looking to break away from the ready made formula of tying all Zelda storylines back to the Ocarina of Time series. Apparently he's looking for a fresh idea that's unrelated to any of the previous games.

About time, if you ask me. For much time, we've been into the controller to, well, control Link's sword, it would be a pretty good change to start using the Wii remote to swing. Some consider it might not be a good idea, but I'd actually think its a good innovation. Same goes to voice-acting. As long as we don't end up "Mah boi", I think voicing a Zelda game is a pretty good idea. Its that last bit missing. Then again, they've never done it before, I doubt they'll do it now. :s

Yet, I didn't know details about the storyline. ._.

Spartanguy88 · **Reply #11 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:28:27 AM

Halo 3: ODST
Halo: Reach
Bad Company 2
Modern Warfare 2
Bioshock 2
Final Fantasy XIII
Mass Effect 2
Brutal Legend (Long live Jack Black!)
Splinter Cell: Conviction

Bolded letters means it's the game I'm most eager for. Yay for Firefight mode and 24 multiplayer maps!

Nick22 · **Reply #12 on:** June 06, 2009, 12:31:33 PM

I'm hoping for a new Star Fox game in the near Future..

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #13 on:** June 06, 2009, 02:56:35 PM

There is also a new Super Mario Bros coming out for Wii that is apparently Quad-player! So you can play classic Mario Bros action but with up to 3 other friends! Looks pretty sweet from what I've seen so far and it plays pretty well.

Word is, the new Zelda for Wii may include the usage of the new MotionPlus feature for the Wiimotes. There is somewhat a length of uncertainty as to whether MotionPlus will be a necessity or not as of right now but there are considerations for it. As for the voice acting, somehow I don't think that is a factor that is liable to change. Most fans of the series wouldn't want Link to suddenly start talking having spend nearly 20 years of him NOT talking. It is an establish normality fans have come to recognise in the Zelda series so I doubt something that well set will be grounds for any amount of alteration.

Therein the legend of the mute Link, right? =D

Well, the voice acting I was referring was actualy to the rest of the characters. While grunts and such have worked till now, a small variation wouldn't hurt, I think?

@Nick - That would be real good too, well noted.

Since everyone is on the topic of Zelda i thought i might share this with all of you, during the Roundtable with Miyamoto, they showed one illustration of the new zelda game.

The major thing that was mention is that Link does not have the master sword in the picture, in fact, he doesn't have a sword at all...

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2009, 03:31:28 AM

I think this is what Miyamoto-san was talking about when he said he wanted to break away from the relativity of Zelda games to Ocarina of Time. Apparently he's looking to create a new series away from OOT with a new range of weapons and a brand new plotline. So far this is all he's revealed. By the looks of things it will still be set in the current Zelda universe coz that girlish figure looks like a Zora to me...

Explorer · **Reply #17 on:** June 08, 2009, 02:40:56 PM

A Zora, yes, but it also looks like the Great Fairy from Wind Waker. Remember? She also had a pointy hat like that... even though it was her hair... but the other Great Fairies had it like that.

If its a Zora, though, we can't complain either.

The fact that Link doesn't have a sword must be the change Miyamoto mentioned. In previous Zeldas, Link was depicted with the Master Sword, or the logo had it. In titles where the Master Sword doesn't enter, you don't see Link with it. Stupid theory, I know. Maybe this is because the Master Sword won't enter, then...?
