Preview of New Games at E3 2005

Posted by Zonk on from the but-are-any-of-the-actually-new? dept.

Joystiq (once again answering my hailing frequencies) has up a preview of some of the new titles that will be seeing the light of day at this year's e3. A smattering of some of the games: "The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, D&D Online, UFO: Aftershock, Battlefield 2, Black and White 2, The Sims 2: Nightlife, Guild Wars, Metroid Prime Hunters, Shadow the Hedgehog, Destroy All Humans" This year we're going to have an E3 topic for your browsing convenience.

    said it all: "2004 was truly a banner year ... how many years can we have that contain UT2004, Doom 3, Painkiller, and Half-Life 2?" (here)

    Not to mention LOTR: Battle for Middle-earth, Katamari Damacy, Prince of Persia ... It's hard to expect anything even close to 2004's precedent again. I'll probably be recycling 2004 for a long, long time.

    VG Cats did a great strip about this recently.

    Worth the read, if for no other reason than to watch Sonic cry.

    And because they're sort of relevant and funny, their strip about Black and White, Metroid, and Zelda.

  3. About time by focitrixilous+P · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Some quality titles for the DS! In order that I am interested:
    Castlevania DS
    Advance Wars DS
    Mario Kart DS
    Meteos
    GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
    Metroid Prime Hunters
    Shogun Warrior: Real-Time Conflict
    Maybe by next Christmas the lineup will be more filled out then it is now. Castlevania looks to be a triump of hand held 2d platforming, one of my favorite genres for any hand held. The touch screen is great for FPS games, possibly to the point that I will buy an EA title for the first time in years. Meteos looks alright, and the Mario Kart and Advance Wars franchises are entrenched in my mind. The touch screen might also work better than a controler for RTS, so I'll watch this shogun game. About time the DS moved out of the tech demo phase it seems to be in right now, with some full length, new content games. Looks to be a another fine year for gaming across the boards, though still suffering from Sequalitis. (Perfect Dark 2!!!!!111one)

  4. Re:What about "Spore"? by Swift(void) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Spore is not yet even officially a game. What Will showed was a tech demo, demonstrating what he believes could be the future of game design, and a way of keeping costs managable instead of having them spiral to the heights of the biggest hollywood films.

    Unless i have simply missed something, Spore is still only a tech demo. Considering the style of coding it was done it, i would be very interested to find out how big the tech demo was. Ive seen the 64k demos, and what they pack in there is amazing.
