Real E3 2010 Preview

Yay, less than a day away till E3! Well I won’t be there to actually cover it, like in the past, I will just post up the most important stuff shown at E3. Its always been cool to see the trailers of stuff we usually won’t get until next year right? Well anyways before E3 has even started we have already gotten some trailers to some games that will be shown at E3 this week. Its said that its not even the important stuff. Wonder what else E3 has for us this year. There are a wide variety of brilliant games being shown this year. It may very well be the best E3 we have gotten in years. From more stuff being shown of [Project] Natal, as it comes out later this year, to the Playstation Move, which isn’t my favorite concept, and to Nintendo’s next peripheral (did you forget the Wii Vitality Sensor?) and new portable console, there is a bunch to cover this year. There’s already a bunch of posters being laid out in Los Angeles, I wish I could just go for a peak, and it looks pretty awesome. Especially that Marvel vs. Capcom 3 bus poster.

Now here’s a bunch of video’s showing either gameplay or cool CGI scenes for some video games. They better show off some actual gameplay at E3 after showing the cutscenes:

XCOM is now a first person shooter (went the way of Fallout 3):

Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions: This Spiderman game has potential. It features 4 different dimensions in which Spiderman is featured in. The third dimension was just announced:

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II: Really loving the graphics here. I haven’t played the first game yet, but this is looking good too:

I don’t really know why they didn’t show this at E3, but here’s some Dead Space 2 gameplay:

I really like the trailer for this next game. What I don’t like is how its an MMO. It should be more of an RTS. Why an MMO? I don’t know:

Here’s a Killzone 3 trailer. And here’s to another 5 year wait:

Here’s the new Gran Turismo 5 trailer which is missing a release date:

In case you missed it before or want to see it again, here’s the new Mortal Kombat trailer:

Here’s also a look at the new Rock Band 3 controllers. The controllers are slightly more accurate. Or should I say the Guitar is more accurate with its 102 buttons. I’m sure Guitar Hero is cooking something up as well, but for now Rock Band 3 stuff:

Yes, a keyboard. So you can play Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” as many times as you wish.

Not sure completely what this is (I’m no music tech guy), but I think its an extra controller for a mic. For some reason.

Lots of buttons.

And a gameplay picture.

There was also this 3DS mockup I found which they took from a circuit board which is supposedly the circuit board of a 3DS, but wouldn’t you rather wait till Tuesday?



Update: A New Opponent Arrives!

What's that?! Something new on the Xbox 360 horizon? A new Xbox? Well sorta. Its an updated 360 to compete with the PS3 Slim. More details will be shown at the Xbox conference. Oh, and Project Natal may have been officially called Kinect now.

The redesigned 360 is a great idea, especially if it isn't prone to sporadically breaking.
