E3 is fast approaching and I wanted to post a little something about it to get a discussion (hopefully) started about it. Many people who are avid gamers don't even follow this event at all, I find myself dryhumping the news sites and even watching the live presentations if I can. I really can't even explain why I do this to be perfectly honest. I've always just been really excited about E3, and just find myself trying to get the information first.

Speculations:

I think that Microsoft will announce a new IP. I think they are also going to announce something HALO (almost a given) I think they may also be adding on, or improving their Kinect. I even have this thought they may add on something that attaches to your body to help the Kinect grow it's usable possibilities for game applications.

I think SONY will also launch a new IP. I also feel SONY will come out with a single control scheme for their Move rather than having the navigator as a separate entity, they'll combine the two somehow.

I think Nintendo will announce Wii 2. I also think they will demo it on the show floors this year.

Demands:

I demand Microsoft give me a reason to repurchase a 360. I liked Gears of War 1, but once Halo3 came out, that game died and I just couldn't get into the Halo thing.

I demand Sony to release more information on Twisted Metal, a release date would be acceptable. I WANT TWISTED METAL. Right this instant. Twisted Metal.

I demand Nintendo compete in the HD market with their next system. Clearly HD isn't going away, and I think they could capture more of the "standard" consumer by making the move into HD.

Twisted Metal.

I'm excited as always to see what they will bring, but I also think this year, even though my speculations are high, will be low key.

PS SONY, Twisted Metal.
