Gunstringer coming to RETAIL!!! :D

Well, considering that that was the same jackass who did the embarrasing Sega E3 booth tour in 2009, I would say he's improved a lot.

[CosmicCastaway]

Yeah, I saw that! So glad that woman took control and showed him around. That's what those dummies sometimes need, a little guidance. Otherwise, they'll just walk through and say incorrect things and mispronounce game names.

Seriously, the dude said "Aliens: Colonial Marines". So 15th century European marines?

Yeah, she was very cool. I just love the SEGA ladies! ^_^

Is it backwards compatible with the GamCube?

Turns out, it is not backwards compatible with the Gamecube.

One interesting rumor that I read today indicates that the Wii U controller is not showing a streamed image of the game, but actually has its own memory and processor and is running the game, which is being wirelessly loaded from the disc in the console.  But this hasn't been officially confirmed...

... ram and shit? Adding price to the console/controls...

Yay! My Wii purchase was not a total loss!

[CosmicCastaway]

I think the Wii U's controller looks like it could be a bit disorienting for me, hopefully I'm wrong.
 Still, does anyone else think it looks a bit big for a controller?

Not as bad as this:

 :lol:

But it does look a little wide. Can't say for sure until I hold one myself (that's what she said!)

Ubisoft actually impressed the shit out of me at E3. They have come a long way from being the joke me and Sharky always make them out to be.

Outland PSN demo was awesome. Though I think they are going retail crazy at full price. I think Child of Eden and Rayman Origins will suffer for being 'full priced' titles.

[Barry the Nomad]

Hopefully CoE and Rayman will do well at a $49.99 price point, and perhaps will get the VT4 treatment and get first week discounts.

[George]

Virtua Tennis is a big seller in Europe, Rayman 2D was a good seller... in like 1996. Rez never did amazingly well.

They are niche.

Gunstringer coming to RETAIL!!! :D

Yeah I heard about that, seems like it's coming in a pack with some others? Or am I thinking of something else?

[Barry the Nomad]

I think you're thinking of the Splosion Man/Limbo/Trials HD 3 pack. I think Gunstringer will be on it's own. Just hope they have enough content to justify a $50 price tag (usual Kinect title price). Unless they release it for $40 like Halo HD will be. Knowing Twisted Pixel, they'll probably cram in a lot of bonus content and (fingers crossed) characters from their other games. Would be cool to see Splosion Man and Captain Smiley puppets with unique weapons.

So now E3 is over, I'd like to know what your highlights are for this year's E3.

My highlight of this years E3 is defenitly Assassins Creed Revelation's trailer.

I favoured Altaïr from the first assassins creed alot more so I cannot wait to experience the story.

[George]

Altair was a boring character, especially in the first one. Wish they re-released it with an actually good narrative like Part 2.

Assassins Creed Revelations trailer can't be my highlight just because its CGI. I hate when they put CGI trailers up. Vita and Uncharted 3 gameplay where amazing.
