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?

    to see Doom III PC there. Also, Halo 2 was only being shown to the press and other extra special people today. Guess I'll just have to stand in line for hl2 again...

  2. Mario 128 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Seriously. "New Super Mario" and Mario 64x4 is nice and all. But I need the goods.

  3. Many videos to download at http://www.filerush.com by wheany · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In case you hadn't heard, http://www.filerush.com/ has torrents of a lot of interesting E3-videos.

  4. Gamecube add-on by Sayron1 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I personally was looking forward to seeing the mysterious GC hardware peripheral that Nintendo was theoretically going to show at E3. Hopefully, whatever it is, it won't do a 64DD and be poorly marketed in Japan and never release stateside.

  5. Fire Emblem... by damiangerous · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd like to know when Fire Emblem is going to make it over here. I saw a blurb in a gaming mag a couple months ago that said it was coming, but that's about it. There's not very many turn-based strategy or RPGs on consoles, especially the Cube (the only one I have). Besides Gladius, which rocks, I don't know of much else.
