Assassin's Creed 2 The game has been shown off several times at E3 2009 and it is looking great The inclusion of new weapons, a new setting, and a flying machine all make the game look very promising. The new setting (Venice during the renaissance) opens up a lot of possibilities for gameplay and story elements. Gametrailers.com has some great interviews and videos on the game so head over there to check that stuff out.
God of War III- This highly anticipated PS3 title was showcased at Sony's press conference and the demo was shown on G4TV, the game looks great and has fans of the series satisfied which is always a good thing.
Heavy Rain- This PS3 exclusive is from David Cage, the same guy behind Indigo Prophecy. A 20 minute demo was shown on G4TV.com with commentary from Cage himself. The game looks fantastic and it almost makes me want to buy a PS3 just so I can play it. A cool feature that Cage goes over in his interview is that the story is told through 4 main characters and at any point the character you are controlling may die and you won't get a game over but the story will continue with that person dead, pretty neat.
Mass Effect 2- Bioware has been showing off this impressive Xbox 360 and PC game for a while and E3 has brought some awesome new details about the larger scale of the game and the fact that if you keep you Mass Effect saves on your Xbox the story will continue how you left it (ie if you let Kaiden die in Mass Effect he won't be in 2 but if he lived in your game he will be there)Bioware reps also have assured us that the game will delve more into the consequences of your decisions and you may have many more squad members die than in the first, also the story will have more branches than the first one so it will really unfold very differently depending on how you play it.
Splinter Cell:Conviction- This game has gone through a total make over and it looks much better after it, the story is based on Sam Fischer working on his own to find out who killed his daughter. The demo and the cinematics shown at the press conferences were amazing and this game looks to be a big hit when it launches this Fall.
Steve Wiebe Kill Screen- It was disappointing that Steve Wiebe did not get the Donkey Kong world record on any of his three attempts but he did reach the kill screen (for those of you that don't know what that is, in DK there is a screen where Mario will die for no reason,a glitch in the game that has become the end of the game so if you reach that screen you "beat" the game)on live TV and it was announced that he would be inducted into the video game hall of fame so good job Steve and I look forward to your next attempt.
Halo 3:ODST- The demo at the press conference sold me on this game and the idea that if you buy the game you will also receive a code for the beta of Halo:Reach makes me feel like that makes up for it being (pretty much) an expansion pack to Halo 3.
Project Natal and Milo: These two things from the Microsoft press conference really blew my mind and subsequent hands on impressions by journalists who were lucky enough to try these were very promising. Natal seems to be pretty sophisticated for being this early into is production and Milo shows some real promise though it is still early in development.
Ecto 1 and Stay Puft: Ok I had to mention it, the refurbished Ecto 1 and the giant inflatable Stay Puft are just outside the LA Convention Center (where E3 is being held) to promote the game and the refurbished Ecto looks beautiful, I can't wait to see the documentary on the Blu Ray about the restoration of the old Caddy.
Check back soon for even more E3 coverage.
