Electronic Entertainment Expo a.k.a E3

Taking place on the 2nd-4th of June which is just around the corner, gamers like me can't help but wonder what's it going to be like this year. Even though companies such as Activision and EA have already revealed quite an impressive game line-up for E3 , the real deal hasn't been revealed.

Companies such as Konami , Square-Enix have not revealed their line-ups and those 2 companies are the companies that are publishing the games that I highly anticipate. Here's a list of the games that I highly anticipate at E3. I've included links to trailers/game footage so just click on the game names if you're interested to watch any.


Activision

Modern Warfare 2
Now without the "Call of Duty" branding(whatever it's just a name), you definitely won't go wrong with this game. I totally loved CoD4 : Modern Warfare despite its short campaign and multiplayer connectivity issues. The game pace and controls is just awesome. Which is why I hope KZ2 1.27 patch allows us to obtain that same sensitivity.

Blur
A racing game that promises to "revolutionize" the racing genre, I wonder if it'll really live up to it.






Prototype
Not really anticipating actually. It seems to be a very uninspiring game. Nothing I've never seen i guess. Destroy everything with ease kinda game. They let u choose to go through the game in a stealth like manner or destroy everything. When you have the power to destroy everything, who wants to go stealth? It's even a waste of time for the studio that worked hard on tweaking the combat and its intensity. It's releasing on the last day of E3. Poison everyone at E3 and sell it off on the last day. Smart strategy eh!






EA Games
Army of Two : The 40th Day
Not much detail is given about it yet besides a trailer which shows Airplanes and helicopters crashing and no gameplay at all and that's why I'm interested in what they have to show at E3.



Need for Speed : SHIFT
Need for Speed : Undercover was a failure and a total letdown because everyone expected it to be good since Pro Street was considered a failure as well. Hence, I'm really curious on how they intend to redeem themselves. Graphics are good enough but the entire game looks like a GRiD copy so far. Can't wait to see what it has to offer at E3!




Capcom

Bayonetta
This is a game designed by Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya so the gameplay is familiar in various ways. He even expects the game to "Exceed" God Of War III so I'm expecting quite a lot from this game as well. Said to have around 12 hours playtime and with loads of contents, the game sounds very promising so far. Will this new game crush the DMC series? We'll have to wait and see!




Konami

Metal Gear Solid
After teasing everyone with countdowns for almost 3weeks, Kojima finally revealed that a new Metal Gear Solid is in the works. Giving teaser pictures like the one shown here and hidden letters on the latest countdown, everyone is left to speculate about the game and many are already coming up with out of the box stories. Knowing Kojima, the story will never be what we expect! Best part is it'll be at E3! MGS4 was godly enough, now what!?




SCE

White Knight Chronicles
I've already talked about this game before so not gonna say much. Just hoping that they'll reveal the release date at E3! The wait is killing me. Seriously.





Massive Action Game a.k.a MAG
Promising battles up to 256 players, I wonder how they're going to pull it off. I mean Resistance 30 v 30 was shocking enough as there was hardly any lag, but 256?! Most probably they'll be spending a huge amount of money on dedicated servers and most prob it'll be ready by late 2010 and everyone's internet connection will be much better then. Oh well I'll wait for the reports on the hands-on of the game at E3 later on.

God of War III

Another highly anticipated game, I'm not surprised if there's a playable demo of it at E3, or at least a live demo. The first 2 & Chain of olympus was nothing short of Epic & this will definitely be mind blasting(not mind blowing, anything can blow your mind!).







Tecmo
Ninja Gaiden Sigma II
After being an exclusive for X360 for awhile, it finally followed Ninja Gaiden Sigma's footstep. It's going to be available later this year and I'm excited. With the new coop feature, I wonder how's it going to be like. I've never played a game of it's genre which offers coop. It's just too cool! The first one was fun enough, this will definitely be awesome. Especially when you have to face Liberty. Watch the trailer and you'll know what I mean.





Naughty Dog
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
One of the highly anticipated games of 2009, with awesome looking graphics and gameplay so far, I'm sure everyone is dying to hear more about this game. With 4 player coop & 5v5 competitive, the replayability is going to be wicked. Sadly enough I haven't even touched Uncharted : Drake's Fortune yet. Am gonna borrow it from Adly when I'm back!





Namco Bandai

Tekken 6
Nothing much to say about this since it's been out in arcades for quite some time and they're taking their sweet time to port it! Let's hope it's worth the wait and hopefully a release date will be announced.








Eidos Interactive
Batman: Arkham Asylum

Holy I almost forgot about this game. With top notch graphics and promising gameplay, I wonder what else they're going to show at E3. With The Joker, Bane, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy & many more as villains, it'll be one hell of a game.







Square-Enix
Final Fantasy XIII / Versus XIII / Agito XIII
I'm just expecting the release date of this long awaited game as it already has a fixed 2009 release in Japan and 2010 in US. I'm really curious about Versus XIII as no gameplay footage is shown yet. Hopefully it'll be shown at E3. I'm totally not expecting a release date for Versus XIII at E3 because last time SE said FFXIII was going to be released in 2007/2008, but it still hasn't been released until now.

Kingdom Hearts III
After poisoning everyone with the secret ending shown in Kingdom Hearts II, there was no other released footage since then(if I'm not mistaken). There wasn't much news either. I'm hoping they'll announce something at E3. I'm expecting a 2010 release since the footage was already made in KHII which means they've been working on it for quite some time.



Hmm.. That's about it I guess. I'm quite disappointed with Namco Bandai's game line-up for E3. There's no Tales of Vasperia which is supposed to be ported onto the PS3. I'm a Tales fan and I'm really looking forward to playing it on the PS3. Apart from that, Sony has not revealed much about E3. Most probably there'll be a PS3 price cut, news on PSP Go!, long awaited PS3 features and so on. I'm sure there'll be updates on Gran Turismo 5 and I'm hoping there'll be some out of the world jaw dropping announcements during E3! Oh shit, most probably they'll show us the new sixaxis controller!



Whatever it is, This year's E3 is going to be the best ever. The competition is freakin tight. A lot of good games are going to be shown there so I'm pretty sure everyone's doing their very best to prepare for it. This makes me even more excited! Most probably I'll be depressed after E3 because there'll be too many games to buy. SIGH! MONEY TREE WHERE ARE YOU?

I'd really love to attend E3. Never before seen or heard details of games unravel in front of you. Man, that hype is a potential killer I tell you. Imma be rich one day and attend E3 & the TGS! Shit, I'm dying to go to TGS. Japanese FTW!

Took me quite awhile to compile everything and I just realized that I'm looking forward to so many games! As if I have the cash to buy everything! Dayummm! Oh well, let's just wait and see! E3!

HARUHI SEASON 2, KICK OFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Damn, my house in Langkawi used to have the crappiest connection ever. But now it's even faster than my connection in KL!


Thursday, May 21, 2009

Langkawi

Yes, that's where I am at now.




Yes, I am currently playing Star Ocean : First Departure (PSP)




Yes, I can't freaking wait for White Knight Chronicles(PS3)




Yes, I can't wait to get back and play InFamous




Yes, I bought RE5 & I love playing it online. Offline is strictly off limits! Just because I'm a pussy and I don't want to play with an AI partner!




Yes, I haven't been to shabby in DotA lately. It was a 3 vs. 5 match as well!




Yes, I'd love to have a Nendoroid Yoko!

The Revolution of Final Fantasy

Not gonna post pictures of all final fantasies but just a few to compare :)

Final Fantasy




Final Fantasy VI




Final Fantasy VII





Final Fantasy X




Final Fantasy XII




And finally, the most anticipated RPG for the PS3, Final Fantasy XIII


Square-Enix(used to be known as Squaresoft) has come a long way and they keep getting better & better. Becoming successful from a game made as a final resort to compensate for the company's loss before it closes down, this is one hell of a company. But making FFXIII multi-platform isn't a very wise decision I must say. Oh well, we still have FF Versus XII & FF AgitoXIII as PS3 & PSP exclusives respectively so life's still good!

Sigh I'm seriously RPG deprived right now. Can't remember when was the last time I played any RPG. Am downloading Star Ocean : First Departure & Second Evolution as well as few other PSP games to bring along to Langkawi.

Apart from that, I can't freaking wait for Tales of Vesperia to be released on PS3!!! Keep talking about games and can't wait for their release but the best part is I have no money to spend at all and that explains the current Facebook status. Really wish that money trees exist right now!

Just what I need!


I remember mentioning that there will be something new for the blog last night but I fell asleep early so I ended up doing nothing. Oh well hopefully I'll get it done today!

Kojima Productions Teaser Advert.

PLEASE BE ZONE OF THE ENDERS 3 I BEG YOU!

Kojima said expect an official announcement at E3 next month. Shit ZOE3 is all the hype I need to study my balls of at University until the game releases!

oh besides that, expect a change in my blog tonight! :D

Trooper K-ON! Opening!

Danny, being a huge fan of K-ON! decided to do his own version of the K-ON! opening video. Respect man!



Here's the actual K-ON! opening

The Project!

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!


I bet many are turned off by this! Quite predictable? Sorry but that's what I was doing all along. A tribute to Gurren Lagann. It consists of most of the battle scenes arranged accordingly so that it will be easier for people who've watched the series to remember the story & epic moments. It's also quite inspirational in a way(IF you've watched it. You won't get a clue why if you haven't). YouTube screwed the quality but it's not too bad! ENJOY! :D

- Am uploading a better version of the AMV so that it won't turn out as bad as this one on YouTube and wth I didn't know it's already 5a.m.! Shit!

EDIT: Didn't have to upload a new one just click play and watch in HQ

A Dose of Trooper!




Vader decides to tag along!


Danny Choo is just amazing. Have a look at his website!
http://www.dannychoo.com

What's new?
  1. Aidi started blogging! - http://answersbyoutlier.blogspot.com/
  2. Justin is getting his PS3 this Saturday!
  3. I'm getting RE5 this weekend!
  4. Finished the video I was making. I'll upload it later.
The end!

The Day After The Day of The Mothers.

I've finally took out my PS3 Bluetooth headset from its box.
But all I did was charge it up.



I exploited a bug on the Wolverine demo that may threaten its sales
Not.



And I guess it sucks for most PS3 owners out there because...
I get to play the inFamous demo before all of you. Oh well!
This video is good enough to hype you up for the game


Oh! I apologize to anyone who tried to contact me for the past two days. Left my phone at Adly's and I don't find it urgent to take it back so I'll go whenever I'm free or feeling text deprived. Till then you can contact me via msn. I'm on 24/7 if you haven't noticed.

....Am working on a new project now. It's a video! Will upload it when I'm done! Ciao!

I AM UP EARLY TODAY!

After 2 freakin weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry. I couldn't resist posting this! Hahahaha!

EDIT: Ok to avoid posting two consecutive short posts in a row, This post shall be about someone that I'm pretty sure most of you humans that are reading this now do not know. Now who is this someone I'm going to talk about? He my friend, is the man who has changed the way many people think of the future. He my friend, is the man who has explained the possibility of some events which are now known to be impossible. He my friend, is Michio Kaku.

Michio Kaku is a Japanese-American theoritical physicist specializing in string field theory, and a futurist. I'd love to tell you much more about him but most probably 9/10 of you won't even read it. So why not let him explain himself? Watch the video below. If you're short of time or not interested in physics at all then don't bother.





Got you interested? Here's the continuation.

Anyway, his explanation of Time Travel, Parallel Universes & Reality is quite interesting! Watch!


Teleportation?


Mind reading?


The host was freaking annoying though. Well, hope you enjoyed all that! Do you feel smarter now? Or you didn't watch a single shit!? LOL

TAKE MY QUIZ!

http://apps.facebook.com/quizdoyouknowme/take_quiz.jsp?q=944463&key=HM9X

Nothing Is Coming!!!

Gosh , it's been almost two weeks now and my sleeping habits haven't change. I just woke up 5minutes ago what the quack! My mom rang me 8 times(I didn't lock myself in the attic ok? My mom was out) and a few friends rang me and what I heard? NOTHING! Most probably I canceled my alarm without noticing as well.

I was out everyday for the past one week. Watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine and god it was epic! As usual, I won't talk much about movies so you just go watch it yourself. Even so, most probably die hard X-Men fans will be complaining about so many little things as usual.

X-Men Fan 1: There wasn't enough scenes of deadpool :(



















X-Men Fan 2: There wasn't enough scenes of Gambit! :(















X-Men Fan 3: I have no complaints about Silverfox! :D

















Those were not X-Men fans actually. It's just me! Oh! I went to Euphoria for Din's birthday as well. Chicks were flooding the place which is obviously awesome. Was dancing with nobody I knew for the entire night. The songs played were awesome! Especially Right Round & Krazy! Too bad most of my buddies were already sitting down when the song played. There was a lil drama here and there but what's life without drama anyway. Sadly, i'm not hyped about going there again. I won't mind going again for a special occasion but besides that I just can't be arsed. Pictures are on FB. I look poo ugly so I'm not posting any pictures here.

I've already watched Gurren Lagann up to episode 6 and just like Adly said, quite a few scenes were removed in the movie. Some of the scenes are actually important in order to understand some of the character's source of motivation.

I'm still hooked with ACfA! I've finally S ranked all normal and hard missions! Been tuning for countless of hours and online matches are still as hard as ever. I guess it's mainly because of the lag. Some of my shots & missles don't register damage sometimes & most probably it's the Japanese mentality. The game was created by them anyway. I'm organizing a mini LYN tournament for ACfA. If you're interested to join then head over to the LYN ACfA thread. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/613086

I'm also planning to get Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2. Bet you people who don't know what the game is like already thinks the game is stupid based on the name of the game right -_-. Well, if you have no love for mindless button mashing and Gundams then yes, it is stupid. The fact that you can control over 50 Gundams which I could never imagine being playable on a next-gen console & in dynasty warriors style makes me more tempted to buy it. I guess I'll just get a 2nd hand copy since I'm so damn broke now(I say that all the time don't I).

Aite, time to bathe & spend the rest of my night on ACfA as usual!
