In this article Gameplayer argues that E3 2007 will be remembered for the games that didn't appear, rather than the ones that did. With everyone scrapping over the few bits of new information to come out of the show, Gameplayer turns the spotlight on 21 big games that failed to recognize that the event even existed.
"For the most part, E3 2007 was old news before it even began."
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.
I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
With a lot of developers and generally companies not putting as much investment into the Smaller (and in my opinion less exciting) MP3. There does not seem to be as much incentive for developers or companies to really use E3 as their big time launching point. Usually E3 leaves people satisfied with the gigantic explosion of information and sensory wonders. But most people I talk to are left feeling quite hungry after the whole thing.
E3 was definitely a bit weak. I think we also have to keep in mind that it was intentionally scaled down from the previous years. I think some good news came out of E3, but nothing to write home to mom about.
and it's no longer recognized as the big game show of the year anymore. I think that title may belong to Leipzig(sic) now anyway, but then again, I suppose that remains to be seen.
In all honesty, Microsoft seems to have left quite a bit out of E3, if not intentionally for game shows later in the year such and the Leipzig convention. Two of Sony's biggest guns were shown in all their glory at E3 in KZ2 and MGS, and I honestly can't think of anything but the Getaway matching it's target trailer that can top those couple of presentations.
It should be interesting to see how Leipzig and TGS unfold.
I like the new format of E3... it's more business and getting down to the point, while at the same time, showing your investors, and chairpersons what you're up to, and how well you fiscal predictions panned out in the past year, as well as your predictions for the next fiscal year.
Also, journalists got a little taste of things to whet their whistles, and satisfy them for now.
I like the business format better- it's small, clear-cut, short, and less confusing. You can actually get things done at the new E3. I know all the gamers out there will hate me for saying this, but I'm a business man before I'm a gamer... but I am both!
The behind closed door negotations were always there though. There was just some big name game announcements too. Much more than this year. I think that given the smaller audience of more specialist press, they should have been showing more, not less.
