Tales from E3
Figured I'd post some of the headlines from E3.
Microsoft
- Halo 4 looks... interesting.
- FIFA 13 will use Kinect to allow you to swear at the Referee (and promptly get booked for it)
- Gears of War: Judgement features Baird and Cole as its leads, who take the fight to the Locusts.
- There'll be voice commands in Madden 13 as well.
- Ascend: New Gods allows for interplay between the 360 and a Windows Phone as well as look pretty.
- Tomb Raider: Reboot will have timed exclusive DLC for the XBox and looks a hell of a lot like Uncharted.
- The XBox Smart Glass will let you use your iPhone to control your 360.
- Have some more footage from Black Ops 2. ALSO: more timed DLC for the 360.
- The inevitable Dance Central 3 does indeed exist. There's a focus on 'classic' music in this one.
- LocusCycle exists and it looks like Carmageddon... ON BIKES. Excuse me while I squee.
- XBox Music will let you buy and stream music on your console, phone or tablet.
- Have some shakey-cam Halo 4 gameplay footage.
- The 360 is getting a web browser at long last - and of course, it's Internet Explorer so no-one will use it.
Wii
- The WiiU's Smartphone Integration won't be ready at launch.
- It's just a rumour, but there may be a new 3DS model coming. Confirmed. OR IS IT?
- Nintendo's got SO MUCH STUFF to show off, it's holding a separate 3DS event on Wednesday evening.
- Rayman Legends looks INSANE on the WiiU.
- Killer Freaks from Outer Space is now known as ZombiU. The start of a trend? Ugh.
- Avengers: Battle for Earth will feature Spider-Man and the X-Men. SWEET.
- Chasing Aurora looks beautiful.Tell me I'm wrong.
Sony
- Dust 514 will be on the Vita via a little app thingy that you'll happily live without.
- From the guys behind Heavy Rain, introducing Beyond (with Ellen Page). Some images.
- Sony All-Stars will have cross-PS3/Vita play, and Big Daddy (with Little Sister).
- New DLC will let you control LittleBigPlanet2 with your Vita.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified: Convoluted Name will be coming to the Vita.
- PS1 CLASSICS F**KING FINALLY COMES TO THE VITA. Took 'em long enough.
- Assassin's Creed: Liberation is a Vita-exclusive title with a lady as the lead.
- Here's Wonderbook. I literally cannot describe it myself. It's... it's odd.
- God of War: Ascension will hit NEXT March. Here's a look at the multiplayer.
- Sports Champions 2 exists. As if anyone still cares.
- LittleBigPlanet Karting has a grappling hook. This automatically makes it interesting.
- The Last of Us is kind looks just as brutal at the setting suggests.
Assorted
- Splinter Cell: Blacklist continues the tradition of moving away from classic Splinter Cell, this time with no Ironside!
(Yes, no Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher. Boo! Also, here's another trailer.
- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will be download only and on consoles as well as PC/Mac.
- Leron Kennedy looks more badass than Chris Redfield in ResEvil 6.
- South Park: Way of the Stick looks awesome. That is all.
- New Forza. This one's called Forza Horizon and will feature, of all things, horizons.
- The Devil May Cry reboot has a trailer now. Stilll don't like Dante's new look though.
- Better look at the good X-Com game. Anyone else think the music's from Tron?
- Here's a trailer for the new Sin SIM City.
- Oh hey, Star Wars: The Old Republic's getting an expansion.
- Here's a teaser for Dead Space 3's co-op. Here's what they've changed. Still lovin' it.
- EA's picked up the license for UFC, meaning it'll now be a yearly release that never bloody changes.
- Some Medal of Honor: Warfighter for you. And here's another video.
- Madden NFL 13 will have real-time physics. Uh, woo?
- The Need for Speed rebooty-thing (aka NFS: Most Wanted) was shown off as well.
- Want some Crysis 3? Well, tough. Here's some Crysis 3.
- Here's some footage from Far Cry 3. Remember - this is one story out of LOADS.
Also, it'll have four-player co-op, though how that'll work I'm not sure.
- Assassin's Creed III looks awesome both in motion (thrice even) and in screenshots.
- A new IP? AH! Watch Dogs looks pretty good, too. ALso: Screenies.
- Just Dance 4 exists (of course it bloody does). What more can I say?
- SimCity: Reboot still looks good, BUT HAS ALWAYS-ON DRM. FUCK YOU EA.
- Never thought I'd say this of a STAR WARs game, but 1313 looks amazing.
Random
- So, Iron Man 3 started filming today. At Epic Games. Yep, THAT Epic Games.
I'll keep updating this with newer stories. They're breaking all the time, so expect plenty of updates.
(And yes, I use Kotaku as my main news source. This should not be news to you.)

Hopefully Sony do something nice, I won't watch EA's one cos it's 50% EA Sports and the new guy's right off the scale on the smug charts, he's actually making me pine for Peter Moore.
Commented on that in the Wii U Speculation thread, but no one jumped on the bandwagon. *shrugs*
Uncharted felt ugly scripted (yup, tried it at a friend's) although it looked nice in its third installment.
Thanks.

I think Mario is shiny and golden in at least one of them... can't go wrong with shiny!
Tomorrow dude, then they're having a 3DS thingy on Wednesday, and they already had a Wii U thingy on Sunday.
I just wanna see Miyamoto and Iwata on stage, those two have a real flair for pantomine style theatrics.
Well Uncharted is Indiana Jones with a female lead with a male lead.
Why YOU guys are following this I've no sodding idea.
EDIT: Seems like the news has stopped for the day, touch wood. I'm going to bed, so if there's any more news, one of you'll have to take over. Or not. Whatever. Not like I care, I'll be asleep. So nya!
Rayman Legends looked like more Rayman Origins (which is a good thing) and AssCreed 3 looks like more AssCreed (which is a good thing if you're still playing the series)
Because I like games.
Not going to happen. Majora's Mask 3D won't even be mentioned until an original 3DS Zelda has already been released.
Correct it seems.
Very last thing at the bottom.
I will be completely fine if even one of my two Zelda predictions turns out to be true.
This was not shopped in anyway. It isnt my screen shot but I saw the tags first hand. I didn't think to take one but other people did
Updated the first post, as if anyone cares.
Fixed that line about the new 3DS model for you, in light of the update in that story you linked to.
Avengers game could be interesting if it's...you know, good. Devil May Cry...geez, I hate admitting it, but I'm starting to get used to it because, despite the changes to Dante's appearance, his attitude is the same and the gameplay looks the same. Couldn't care less about PlayStation's Smash Bros. rip-off because, unlike Smash, it won't have characters I particularly like. Star Wars 1313's premise has made me too annoyed to even watch the trailers since we've already had a bounty hunter game, and the title is stupid.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Nintendo's got up their sleeves tomorrow, mostly hoping for a 3DS Zelda teaser and a mention of Wii U Zelda, though I wouldn't say no to an HD collection either. Also looking forward to new info on the Star Trek game.
And one final note...I seem to be the only one that really likes the look of Tomb Raider. *shrugs*
This E-3 is kind of lackluster.
I wouldn't call that confirmed. Nintendo had nothing to do with the original statement, and now they've come out and said its nothing more than conjecture.
Just like the 3d Ds and the wii u were...
