E3 - Metal Gears, Jungle Beats, Unreal Tech?

Posted by simoniker on from the tentacles-and-keys-are-pimped dept.

Thanks to continuing coverage of the E3 Expo show from GameSpot, from 1UP, from GameDaily, and many other sources - highlights for the second day included Eurogamer's detailed write-up of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, apparently "an overwhelming spectacle" in both positive and other ways, GameSpot's first images of Unreal Engine 3.0, a "complete game development framework for next-generation consoles and DirectX9-equipped PCs", IGN Cube's hands-on impressions of DK Jungle Beat, allegedly "the sleeper hit of the show", 1UP's musings on The Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age, an "attempt to make a Japanese-style turn-based console RPG in America", and even GameSpot's brief impressions of a mobile phone-embedded Turrican, as the Factor 5 classic returns "pre-loaded on Siemens 65 Series phones."

    ...is that it's not a remake of the real Metal Gear 2 (as opposed to the poor substitute that America originally got, Snake's Revenge). Should be interesting to see a story about another Snake, though, even if it is as clogged with narrative as MGS2 was.

    right now just one person can make a custom character, and a team can manage a total conversion mod.

    with all the detail that one can put in a custom character, will its creation require a whole team?
