E3 2k4: the Thread* (Misc gaming related)

[Farid]

The first news about E3 are already leaking, here they are:

• - Square-Enix will change its behavior and will presente a new game at E3, it a sequel to the excellent Brave Fencer Musashi (Psone), it's called Samurai Legend Musashi, on the technical side the game appears to be impressive, and got cartoonish animation for its characters.
  That might be The excellent news of this expo if it turns to be at least as good as the first one was.
  
  - A fansite www.gcadvanced.com could get some photo of the Nintendo stand. Link to the photos
  There's a new (original) zelda for Gba The Legend of Zelda : The Minish Cap, as well as a Mario party advance, a DK: king of swing and a racing game neamed Raging Gear Advance.
  On the Gamecube, Fire Emblem will be presented, as well as Advance Wars : Under Fire and maybe a DK: Jungle Beat (DK got himself into the music that's for sure)
  
  - London Based "Team Soho" gave a name to their Getaway sequel : The Getaway : Black Monday. Hope it turns out to be a ... Game with...err Gameplay.

*The title is a homage to THG , it would be a 100% homage if i called this thread:"The Threat".

[I.S.T.]

[Paul]

Heh a new Brave Fencer... It would rock on the PSP, hell a remake or updated port of the first one would rock on PSP.

 

[I.S.T.]

Screw a remake or enhanced port, I want a sequal. I hope this is one.

As soon as the briefing concludes we'll have our finger on the 'submit' button ready to unleash a barrage of screenshots and new information. Stay tuned!"

Yes it look like it's Cube war.
Here's a link Megadrive.
They may have kept the title after a "Market Research", Advance war is now a franchise, so maybe...

A new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from Konami, i really hope that this one respect the quality of the arcade/Snes beat-them-all. The last installment of the franchise was "ass-tatic".

Screw a remake or enhanced port, I want a sequal. I hope this is one.

Hell yeah, i also want a sequal. Yes it appears to be a new game, so... Champagne?

Why, yes. Of course.

 

[Farid]

Confirmed.

It will be produced by Takashi Tokita. :?
And Nomura is still at the design "wheel".
The opening video will be an animé made by Gainax.

The graphics looks... let say, stranges, like a bad video output (i hope it's that).
Because it Over-aliased on those pics.

FFXII pics

The rest of the pictures and some Artworks, here.

It looks Terrific!!

Oh... And the US launch date has been confirmed for.... 2005, 2005 what, when, where wasn't specified... so...

 

[rabidrabbit]

What if it (Mushashi) is running on a PSP, not PS2...

 

[Guden Oden]

Have the Japanese gone completely out of their minds? All their male heroes look like cute little girls!

Oh well, as long as they're fun to play, hehee... That Mushashi game looks pretty cool, even though the cartoon rendering is a little over the top IMO.

E3 2004: Halo 2 confirmed for November but, otherwise, Xbox's pre-E3 briefing fails to inspire

Halo 2 will be released on 9 November, while Electronic Arts have agreed terms with Microsoft that mean their Xbox games will finally be playable online via the Xbox Live service. Those were the only two major stories to come out of this year's Xbox E3 conference

I think the effect is over-done and too exaggarated.

 

[London Geezer]

That fur just looks wrong. What is this running on?

It looks exactly like the fur of Fox in Starfox Adventures. They seem to have just ported the code to the XBox shaders.
