keep them comming guys. |
Most updates won't really come for another week or so, as the week before E3 is usually when the floodgates open for the majority of unconfirmed (and confirmed) stories regarding the conference.
But as a LOT of the community spends the weeks before speculating on what's going to happen, I figured we'd start it off now and just grab everything we can leading up to conference! |

Konami brought their first Revolution title to the public today, called Elebits.
link: here
SEGA is continuing their successful franchise Super Monkey Ball on the Revolution, titled Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.
link: here
interview: here
AMN is claiming that the Nunchuk extension to the Revolution controller will also include motion sensors. Take this as a rumour until further confirmation from Nintendo.
link: here
French videogaming site Jeux-France is reporting that the Revolution Nunchuk extension will include - besides motion sensors - force feedback (not to be mixed with the normal rumble). Their sources appararently described the feeling as holding a "Powerball" (more info about Powerball: here)
As with the above news about the motion sensing nunchuk, take this as a rumour too.

Unfortunately, no new screenshots from Revolution games has been published yet, besides from Ubisoft Paris developed Red Steel. |

Halo 3 to be unveiled at E3 news conference.
| quote: | IGN reports that Microsoft will unveil the next Halo title during its E3 news conference on Tuesday, May 9. The preview is reportedly in the form of a 2-minute video. While the exact details of the footage are unknown, expect a doctored in-game sequence.
However, beyond this teaser, don't expect to learn much about the game. No one is going to rush this title in order to combat the PlayStation 3 launch. All signs indicate that the next Halo is far from complete and won't be out until 2007. |
Source: Joystiq via IGN... via someone else, probably. :p |

Updated.
Changed the format of the initial post, now there are sections with appropriate headers (Wii, Xbox... etc.) regarding each console, and the news for each will be updated just below as it comes in.
There are no DS, PSP, PC, or 3DO sections yet as there hasn't been anything really worth posting up, and they don't make 3D0's anymore. :p
Thanks for sticking with this guys... I think once E3 is all said an done we'll have kind of a cool little retrospective here! |

PrE-3 Rumors and Innuendo:
What are we getting excited for here?
So, as E3 technically doesn't start up for about 2 weeks yet, I figured perhaps something to entertain us until then would be discussing the possibilities for this years conference. Every year, those of us who follow E3 like hawks, both salivate and cringe in disgust at some of the rumors leading up to conference. Some come true, some don't, but they're always fun to speculate on. So who's got some solid rumors heading into E3?
**Note: PLEASE BE VERY CLEAR WHETHER WHAT YOU'RE POSTING IS A RUMOR OR E3 NEWS!!!
Anyhing without a source will be treated as uncomfirmed. :)
So let me kick off with a few unconfirmed tidbits here:
* PS3 will NOT be playable or will at least be heavily restricted at this years E3.
* Bioware working on an MMO (Or at least a few "suprises")? (http://www.computerandvideogames.co...e.php?id=137083)
* Fallout 3?
* The "final" Revolution secret? (Wii?)
Who's got some more juicy ones? These are just some of the obvious ones... I want to hear the outrageous ones! |

Sony PlayStation 3 + Microsoft XBOX 360
Ubisoft Montreal has announced Assassin's Creed, a next gen title for the PS3 and 360, to be in (possible) production.
The Holy Land is in trouble during the Third Crusade. You play as Altair, a member of the Assassins, intent on helping the fight to preserve the Holy Land.
They launched the game's preview site with a nice trailer to spark our interest.
This game will be seen at E3 next week even though one of the two (Sony) had yet to okay the concept for their console. |
