Surprise? I hope it isnt that Wii mote copy, because that cant be called surprise, its rip off, not surprise. Everyone will go LOL.

Anyways, they all have "big" surprise.

I think we will see Dead Rising 2

gaffyh5771d ago

Every company has "surprises" at E3, and I feel like Sony's E3 will be the best again. And Nintendo's will be the worst the only thing I can see them announcing is Kid Icarus.

Dead Rising 2 will be multi-plat (Dead Rising 1 is crap anyway, I've got the game and I only played it for a few days and got bored). The best announcement MS could make would be exclusive Resident Evil 5 and Bioshock 2.

every comment in 1.X has 3 disagrees (except this one)

strange

dodgecity5771d ago

Oh my god, if they show dead rising 2, they'll automatically win the console war. :)

kosha5771d ago (Edited 5771d ago )

Although i would love to see dead rising 2 lets be serious that one game is not gonna end the console war. And there is always the possibility its gonna be multiplat.

Nostradavis5771d ago

Thought this was funny...

Just once I would love to hear a marketing exec (3D Realms doesn’t count) respond by with something like:

“E3? I totally forgot about that. I guess we’ll have to plan on winging it this year. We’ll likely wait until about 20 minutes before our keynote starts. I’ll pop a few Tic Tacs and make a mad dash for the stage. If I don’t see a podium immediately, I’ll do a quick fly/zipper check to make sure the family jewels aren’t exposed . Then I’ll bust out a few knock knock jokes and wrap things up by handing out free beverage coupons. Our market research shows gamers love free caffeinated beverages.”

-Gamerpad/ Mii ripoffs
-Wiimote Squared
-Halo 4
-Bluray (not likely...they're too pissed off about the loss, but u never know)

fusionboxer5770d ago

Halo 4 and more footage of Halo Wars and Gears 2. I also suspect some announcements of more exclusives and improvements to xbox live.

Other then that I can't make any other guesses.

The Xbox 720 to be unveiled? A black wii? :P

Ahh seriously though I hope they show me something which I can say that looks unbelievable, and without any cgi videos *rolls eyes*

dro5771d ago (Edited 5771d ago )

cool, i hope its something worth the suprise, maybe HALO 4 FOR SUMMER 09 =O.

Topcat-Lonewolf5771d ago

If it turns out to be the wii mote style thingymabob that is commonly used as a sex toy, then people would probably laugh at MS.

Blu ray add on would probably make MS seem like Hypocrits and i'm not sure that MS wants to become the laughing stock on the gaming playground.

Securing bioshock 2 as a full exclusive would be a good job well done, but I'm not sure that 2k games will be so sure about doing that, they need all the cash they can get, unless MS promises them something big which would just seem like them buying another exclusive which gamers for the other consoles are less happy about already as it is market spoiling. And if they have secured it as a full exclusive then, they made a blunder not doing so for the first one.

Bioshock 2 as a timed exclusive equals a failure imo, PS3 owners don't mind that they got it late, they are happy they got it at all, but with the DLC included for PS3 owners, well iI'd prefer to wait personally. :/

I think he is talking about something we haven't yet seen.

Ballistic Jay5771d ago

Why would you even want another halo? At this point they'll all be the same game...

Steve Ballmer killed bill gates and ate his soul and now he is more powerful !!!

Standing on the stage covered in blood , wearing bill gates glasses screaming !!

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis5h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 2h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 1h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK22h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake21h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon16h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
