E3 2011 Topic of Legends, Moving Your Body and Googly Eyes

What happened to the SEGA press conferences? I'd think this year would actually be a good one to have a little speech. Announce more Generations stages, show off some PG titles, etc. Ubisoft did one last year at E3 and it sucked (aside from Rayman and Child of Eden), SEGA needs to show devs how its done.

They blow all their money on TGS probably.

Still, Takenobu singing Daytona last year was awesome enough.

Ubisoft has a some pretty good games this year.

- Children of Eden
- Rayman Orgins
- Assassins Creed Revelation
- From Dust

Everything else they have is really shit. Ubisoft needs to focus more on quality over quantity.

NeoGAF rumour that Metal Gear Solid Rising is going to be developed by Platinum Games and directed by Hideki Kamiya.

[George]

Doubtful. 99% sure its false.

^lol, that Sony opening act is spot-on.

[George]

Pretty much 3 hours worth of them being sorry.

New 'desert' game teased. Wait doesn't Uncharted 3 and Journey take place in the desert? Is that the new hipster place games are headed?

Another funny thing:

How Sony makes accessories:

It... all ... makes sense now.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the new Nintendo console is all about. I predict that it will have a Super Monkey Ball game announced for it.

Konami has a Pre-E3 show this year. Check it out:

Missed it, but from what I hear, HD collections galore?

Does the Metal Gear HD collection include Peace Walker?

edit: just searched a bit

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

VERY COOL! I've only played MGS1 and rented MGS2 for a long weekend. This would be a great collection to pick up! I especially look forward to the Snatcher references.  

[MadeManG74]

Why would they not include a version of the first MGS? Or is Peace Maker a remake or something?

[CosmicCastaway]

Personally, out of the titles in Konami's lineup I'm most excited for Silent Hill: Downpour. It looks really interesting.

...And I will be buying the "Resurrection" DLC for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow the moment it comes online. ^_^

I wondered the same, I can only guess that both the PS1 version and Twin Snakes are locked into contracts. PS3/PSP owners can get MGS through the store, but Xbox folk (like me) are SOL.

Its up on PSN already.

Few more rumors and announcements going in!

SONY

Announces Payday: The Heist. 4 player co-op FPS that will allow you to play with PC/PS3 players. It is a PSN/Digital download game.

Sony announces Papo & Yo for PSN. Part of their 'pub fund', this has funded games like Joe Danger and that was awesome.

Sony announced Starhawk about a week ago. A sequel to Warhawk, this game will have a full fledged single player mode, unlike Warhawk that was online only.

Announced NGP games so far:

- Uncharted: Golden Abyss
- Super Stardust Ultra
- Hustle Kings
- Sound Shapes
- Wipeout (working title)

Wipeout on NGP can be played online against PS3 players.

Microsoft

Seems that Microsoft is saving everything they have for E3, they have been really tight lipped about anything so far and I expect them to try to surprise to hell out of everyone. This one slipped out as a rumor:

Microsoft Xbox LIVE Diamond subscription IPTV tipped for E3 2011

Should be cool for US people and shouldn't effect the Gold members. An all around positive move for everyone. Sony has something like this in Europe. Though not as integrated as this rumor seems to make it.
