On E3's Missing Cavalcade Of Games

Posted by simoniker on from the crying-fanboy-tears dept.

Thanks to the Gaming-Age forum regulars for discussing "notable games not actually shown at this week's E3 show", despite the insane flood of new titles, with particularly noticeable no-shows including Raven-developed PC FPS Quake IV, Sony's "oft-rumored [PlayStation 2?] sequel to ICO", Nico, as well as Microsoft/Level 5's "massively multiplayer Xbox RPG" title True Fantasy Live Online, in addition to Sony's PSX hardware, with the PS2/DVR combo now heavily rumored to have had its U.S. release canceled. Is there any other hardware/software you've been disappointed not to hear about, besides the obvious?

    There were enough games to make me happy, IMO (IANAL)!

    Including some new Thief game and Half-Life 2, anything else pales in comparision :)

    Mario 128's status is revealed here . Here's a partial quote.

    "Shigeru Miyamoto is still working on the game but is not ready to show it just yet. Apparently with his ongoing work with the Nintendo DS and his other projects, the next Mario game has dropped to the back burner for the moment. Kaplan assures that is has not disappeared and we will see it when Miyamoto is ready to show it. As soon as it is revealed you can count on GCA to bring you the information."

    I had heard they were going to be showing Mother 3 this year.

    Well if today is the last day, maybe some news will make it out.

    Otherwise, there's always Spaceworld.
