Ask Ubisoft something about Assassin's Creed 2 and what they're going to do in order to deal with complaints many gamers had about the first.

Atari Interview - Alone in the Dark was a highly anticpated next gen that was worked on for a few years. The passion the design team displayed really put alot of hope that this game would be something to admire. Instead, it end it falling well below gamers expectations. Is there any plans to revisit the Alone in the Dark world or was this a 1 shot deal for the franchise?

Ubisoft - The developer is known for releasing top of the line first person shooters. Games such as Call of Duty Fall by Infinity Ward, Battle Field Bad Company EA & upcoming titles such as Resistance 2 Gears of War 2 have all set the bar of what a FPS should be in there respected fields. What plans do you guys have to set that bar even higher for your upcoming games Farcry 2 & Tom Clancy's: End War?

2)Were you nervous about taking on the Fallout brand?
3)what do you think the biggest innovation was that you brought into Fallout3?
1:00pm Eidos Interview1)What do you think about the tax breaks that are being given to you in the UK? Do you think that the government waited till the industry was on its knees begging, or was it perfectly timed?

All the news (large and small) will be posted on the site by either Doc and Dave, or another member of the SG team like me, Yamster or Havok etc.

As well as all Doc and Dave's content, the rest of the team are going to be writing up posts of all the E3 news as it breaks.

Either way, you'll know of any big news immediately (dont forget we have to write the post :D).

07-13-2008, 07:02 PM
Wow. So many questions...

If you could try and ask Nintendo why they have/are avoided/avoiding (depending on what they announce at E3) the use of bluetooth headsets for online voice chat, I'd be really interested in that. Also, if they don't make any announcements or hints about their next console or handheld, if they could roughly estimate when we might be seeing teasers of them. I'd like the Wii Pay-and-Play described, too: Is it only DLC, or does it pertain to access to online features of certain games.

If you could set your ringtone to my Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 entry and catch some responses on video...:thumbsup:

9am Nintendo Press Conference

1. We haven't seen a lot of Virtual Console imports here in North America, I was wondering if that is going to change in the coming year and if so what imports do you plan on releasing in North America?

2. Capcom was big in the news a few weeks ago when they said they would be bringing out Megaman 9 to the WiiWare, I was wondering if you(Nintendo) were also going to be putting some of your big name franchises on the WiiWare? Maybe something like Super Mario Bros. 4 or a 16-bit Legend of Zelda Adventure

It was in a Majors Minute in an interview with Treyarch.
They said people who enjoy modern day war will continue to play CoD4.
Those into the WW2 scene, will probably move onto CoD: World at War but they could still play either one if you just can't decide. :roll:

If you can catch the ear of any Namco Bandai people, I've pre-ordered the regular SoulCalibur IV, but I want the extra CAC content. Will it ever be available for download on the basic version, or should I see if it's not too late to upgrade to the collectors edition? The rest of the collectors features don't interest me.

Also, kindly nag Nintendo to get Majora's Mask up in the Wii store for me.

Ask Atari about any sequels for Ikaruga and ask Eidos about Age of Conan and any possible expansions or sequels to it. Oh, and ask Eidos if they're going to improve the Conflict series by making a sequel that can be more ground-breaking and really wow us instead of being underwhelming like Denied Ops was.

If there is anything about Fable 2: Is Fable 2 going to have the same amount (or more) of character customization. Is the skill development going to be as generalized or will it be more specific (leveling up skills in only swords or only axes)

CoD WaW: How many maps? Will any of the old maps be brought back? Will you be able to create classes in MP and if so will you be able to use weapons from different campaigns (Using a Kar98k in Japan)

For the next Elder Scrolls: Will the monsters be auto leveled to you? Because I thought that was a very stupid idea.
