this is taking forever

carlosrodas

Dynamic DNA actually sounds kinda awesome.

SpishackCola

Meh. EA Sports. For those too lazy and friend-deprived to actually play the sport.

Lame.

Polterg3ist

@n64dude64: no. you'll lose lots of money. Just save up to cover the extra $160 you'll get out of selling the ps3 and buy a 360 as well.

Wii-Tard

*crosses fingers for Fight Night news*

@sascha23: Amen to that.

Satsuz

Bill Walton wtf!?!

SpishackCola

Creation vs. Evolution Vs. Spore

carlosrodas

Ask Peter Moore why he cancelled Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast for North America.

I will always, *always* despise than S.O.B.

GrandfatherParadox

Crecente is a down to earth dude... He knows how to use teh. lol

:P New age journalism is the type I like.

Megan Fox iz Hot ^-^ -ph15h

@Satsuz: suck up!

carlosrodas

Spore trailer was pretty good, that spore fans are 38% of god comment was hilarious.

D-Sovereignty

That was the most amazing trailer I have ever seen.... wow.

sovietspartan

Drools over Mirror's Edge. That game is beautiful.

Hurrah for saturdated colors in a current-gen game!

sascha23

@ Crecente: I voted for your ticklemekotaku creature ages ago, btw. :P

Satsuz

You ain't getting a single Watt of energy form me Will, not a single one you tyrant!!!! I'm on to you, we will stop you no matter what!!!!!!!!!

carlosrodas

Pics of companion cube creature?

deft0k

Will Wright/Spore's got nothin' on GOD!

UneasyMonkey

Guess we know who's gonna create the matrix, huh?

carlosrodas

Bungie will never live up to HALO expectations again, they are through

opiferus

companion cube creature? WANT!!!!!!!!!!

Dragoona

Blasphemy!!!!!!!!!

carlosrodas

Comparing his game to God is going a bit too far.

Corrin

"It took Spore about 18 days... it took God about seven, he points out."

Ha, great comment

yashichi8bit

Could this be the time for one last big Spore-related surprise?

And 18 vs 7? Is Will implying something about himself there?

Satsuz

"The game has been at the top of the PC charts since it launched." - That would be impressive if there had been a single other interesting PC release the the past few months! :P

CukyDoh

Will Wright wants to rule the world. It's official now. From the man himself.

UneasyMonkey

All I want is a PS3, I'm sure one of you guys is generous enough to come up with one

carlosrodas

@Brenneh: that's*

Brenneh

that's an observatory

carlosrodas

Hmm, they showed Mirror's Edge on a PS3? Guess that a good sign for those worried about yet another bad port to the Playstation 3.

Brenneh

@carlosrodas: Freudian slip?

Satsuz

@carlosrodas: lolz you made it funny again

UneasyMonkey

I mean they CAN'T touch me

carlosrodas

@UneasyMonkey: not funny anymore, somebody in the comments could be a fed or something, they can touch me all the way where I live but you mugh go down you perv!!!

carlosrodas

I do a lot of waggle with MY Wii

UneasyMonkey

SPORE

SpishackCola

In the Wii we get to do a lot of waggle

carlosrodas

My game boner is soooo hard right now!!!

Nullzero

@EnigmaNemesis: What would teh definition be?

Cwutididthar? ;-) (Please note, this was meant only to be a joke, not trying to be the grammar nazi that I am...just an advisory so people understand).

Dragoona

I want Mirror's Edge. It looks so sandboxy and awesome!

F4ceYourFe4rs

Mirror's Edge looks so damn fun!

D-Sovereignty

Bullet-time w/out bullets. Seems appropriate for Mirror's Edge, unlike most games that use it.

@carlosrodas: Ew.

Satsuz

@Marikir: makes puzzles not puzzles. maybe hard mode disables them.

sovietspartan

@carlosrodas: Only if you really want me to

UneasyMonkey

Figured the red items were gameplay additions. Don't think it'll bother me, but I'm curious why people don't like this. It's just a version of a HUD, I think. "Jump/Run here" kind of thing.

Marikir

@Dragoona:

Lame ass Webster would do that, surely.

EnigmaNemesis

@n64dude64: First play and beat MGS4 if you haven't already. Then yes, get teh 360

UneasyMonkey

@D-Sovereignty: Its being played through the space PA system and the lyrics are changed. its starts normal and becomes more and more mysterious. very cool.

sovietspartan

So, is 'teh' an official word yet?

Dragoona

So why would Bungie be at an EA press conference?

everybest

@UneasyMonkey: is that an offer? I live in a distant country though? are you willing to fly here?

carlosrodas

I'm still skeptical about how much freedom you'll have in Mirror's Edge. They need to give the player a bunch of paths and the ability to creatively string together unscripted jumps/tricks.

Blah8

I hope u can disable runners vision

sovietspartan

Give me something for the Wii

carlosrodas

I have a PS3 should I sell it for a 360?!?!?!?!?!?!

?!?!?!?!?!!?
?!?!?!

n64dude64

@carlosrodas: Just become a male prostitute...

UneasyMonkey

mirror's edge is a cool game, I wish they'd have just named the city singapore, I know they were thinking it when designing that city.

juc

Woo! Mirror's Edge time!

Satsuz

I wish I could afford a PS3, why? why was I born handsome and not rich!!!!????!!!!

carlosrodas

@LORDofDANCE:

Wish to elaborate?

Communist_Gamer

@sascha23: No i think he's talking about the sims... :P he didn't say he was playing dead space :P

Cchrist

The new dead space trailer was awesome, but was twinkle twinkle suppose to make it scary? haha

D-Sovereignty

Dead Space looks fucking amazing.

sovietspartan

Twinkle Twinkle? As in "Little Star"?
Creepy.

Satsuz

all we get is my F*@!#G
pets!!!!!!!!!!

carlosrodas

Sigh...I'm not sure if this awesome info about Dead Space can make me recover from the FF XIII info...

Alucrid

of course no wii

carlosrodas

CONFIRMED: Spitter dinosaur from Jurassic Park in Dead Space

UneasyMonkey

Does Dead Space = the fresh, new Doom?

SpishackCola

More game enemies should use ball-huddling as a defensive tactic.

Satsuz

@Cchrist: Haha! He's talking about Dead Space. Although a dismemberment factor in The Sims would get me remotely interested.

sascha23

Reading stuff like this just makes me wanna hate my Wii, the console that is.

carlosrodas

Dead Space is fully on my radar.

Sims can eat it as far as I'm concerned.

Give me dark, gritty narrative and thrilling gameplay over watching grass grow and AI call other AI on cell phones.

sascha23

@ZetaCrossfire: Oh, and vid feed at [e3.g4tv.com] Buggy as shit though.

The Magnificen7

@UneasyMonkey:

Seems like complex mental issues if you ask me buddy.

Yokai

I really tried to give the sims 2 a chance! I really really wish I would like it but I have it and don't like it! I wish I liked it it seemed fun before =(

n64dude64

Strategic dismemberment? Your sims can chop eachothers arms off? Or am i getting it wrong?

Cchrist

@Satsuz: YES!

The Magnificen7

holy shit DEAD SPACE!!!! describe the gameplay deeply!!!

UneasyMonkey

Is it wrong of me to be excited about Sims 3?

Satsuz

wish they had vid feed

ZetaCrossfire

Most complex characters ever in a game...Is that why they speak jibberish and wet themselves and can't get out of a pool without a ladder???

UneasyMonkey

I HATE THE SIMS 2 WORST GAME EVER!

n64dude64

I love how the diamonds get better looking every SIMS game

SpishackCola

Hooray Will Wright has created yet another way to steal my precious, precious time!

LaneWinree

Congrats to g4. this is the worst attempt ive seen to stream anything on the net ever.

Azures

Bungie? That would be great. Multiplat Bungie games without any Halo-references please. I'm over Master Chef! Yes, I said chef. Don't ask me why.

sascha23

white glove? Master Hand?!?!

SpishackCola

Giant white glove FTW! It's the new gravity gun

UneasyMonkey

What are the chances of a new SSX game?

Kung

Sim Animals? Curiouser and curiouser...

Satsuz

@UneasyMonkey: Is that the source of your Name? ~.^

Patient

Sim animals lol

riffleraffle

@Communist_Gamer:

says the communist gamer.

LORDofDANCE

Awesomesauce.

I want some Left 4 Dead info please.

Polterg3ist

Sim Animals: Beastiality Edition coming this Christmas

UneasyMonkey

@Azures:
Its worse than terrible :(

SpishackCola

Sim ANIMALS? Wth? Oh.. how I miss the sim days of old..

Antioch18

Bungie is probably sharing the theater later then... lol

Megan Fox iz Hot ^-^ -ph15h

@GViper: I'm still holding out hope for 'Pimps at Sea.'

Llanwar

is anyone watching? The feed on g4's website is TERRIBLE.

Azures

...Here we go?

zegota

@UneasyMonkey: yeah sorry internet running slow here. check out this post apologizing.

EDread83

@Ra is on That 70s Show:

I'm putting it simplistic terms so as not to clog it up with my ramblings.

I still feel Activision and EA are the worst companies. And that these two are the biggest is by no means a coincidence.

Communist_Gamer

Did we go? Or not?

Crippl3

Crecente is my hero, risking his health just to cover E3 for us.

@Brenneh: That's why I'm here, I know that much.

Satsuz

@Candlejack:

Halo 2009: Now with more Al Michaels and John Madden.

LaneWinree

Probably a new Dead Space trailer...hopefully some gameplay

UneasyMonkey

Not sure what to expect from this conference..

tomrutters

Hoping for info about Mirror's Edge!

Brenneh

Come on, Mass Effect 2 information.

LaneWinree

Don't die on us!

Crippl3

Bungie + EA? That doesn't mix very well...

Candlejack

@ReidP: rofl yeah. Or maybe just Madden 09 and/or Brett Favre

UneasyMonkey

the countdown on the bungie page is for ass-early in the morning on wednesday . . . 7:07:07 to be exact . . . or so i've been told. Bungie makes game and EA does the distribution . . . or something like that. New IP? Halo spinoff?

ehouse

@Communist_Gamer: @Mit:

To revise what I said, I needed some "if"s in there.

Communist_Gamer

Yay! I'm actually on time for a liveblog.

Satsuz

@Communist_Gamer: Ya EA is the devil... blah blah blah. Be more original please.

Ra is on That 70s Show

I say turn on your cellphone, to piss them off.

Yokai

DONT TURN EM OFF :P

Communist_Gamer

I'm calling it now. Half the event will be discussing Madden '09's soundtrack.

ReidP

@EDread83: yeah sorry check out my second post almost immediately after the first one

UneasyMonkey

Looks like we're about to get started

JoeyTheHobo

@UneasyMonkey: DAY:HOUR:MIN:SEC

EDread83

Spend 10 minutes opening a piece of candy!
Be that guy!

Patient

Ok, on second check of Bungie, it is tomar. I don't know how I mixed that up...

JoeyTheHobo

Mass Effect 2 info would be good too, since the first one was so damn short. 20 hours, come on! I spent a good 80 hours on KOTOR 1.

FLYmeatwad

@Communist_Gamer: Where does that put Activision? Just wondering.

And I don't understand why Bungie is with EA. Did I miss something? Have they already revealed some collaboration with EA?

Mit

Hopefully some Mass Effect 2 info.

D-Sovereignty

I hope they demo Rock Band.

FLYmeatwad

Wait. What does Bungie have to do with EA?

Crippl3

I'd imagine some Bungie guys are just EA sports fans too. Probably has nothing to do with their announcement on wednesday.

Shifty203

@UneasyMonkey: NO. The Bungie countdown has 1 day, 16 hours on it.

beat89

I guess they'll be announcing that they finally bought take two

carlosrodas

@zegota: I thought it ended on the 14th (today)...

JoeyTheHobo

38 games EA is showing off, will this press conference last forever?

MarioMan2.0

Bungie probably won't have anything to say today, unless the countdown on their main page is a lie.

Yokai

Uh oh @ connection!

Man, time for more press confin'. Lets see what we have in store.

Arelan

T- 1 minute?

Antioch18

O shit nvm. I thought the countdown had an hour and 16 minutes to go. But it's a DAY and 16 hours. So maybe the announcement is tomorrow. Or they may say something today and reveal a trailer tomorrow...

UneasyMonkey

@UneasyMonkey: Buh? It has nearly two days to go, last time I looked.

zegota

What does EA have in store for us this time :D?

-_- not another buyout attempt... rite?

Megan Fox iz Hot ^-^ -ph15h

Byebye Bungie. You were good for a while. Then you went from the Devil's Assistant to the Devil himself.

Communist_Gamer

bungie.net has a countdown timer on that "please stand by" or w/e page that still has a little over an hour to go. So expect this conference to be an hour long and the Bungie announcement being at the very end of the show.

Even though EA is hardly related, I hope they talk about Rock Band 2 some more. Like, showing the default drum set plz

UneasyMonkey

I hope all (or most) of Bungie's future games go to at least the PC. Maybe their partnering with EA to make that happen? I can only dream.

ShirtGuyDom

I wonder if they're going to mention anything about W:AR, especially in light of the recent disappointing news.

antialias02

What will Bungie pull out of the hat? I think that has become more interesting than anything EA has to say!

GViper

bungieeeeee!

juniorlikespie

Left 4 Dead trailer was decent, looks exactly like a mod for HL2.

D-Sovereignty

What exactly is up with Valve and EA's relationship? I hope they're not on the "to-be-acquired" list.

As for L4D, this Director thing may just be the next big thing.

@carlosrodas: Bye man. Good luck with work.

Satsuz

Left 4 Dead is my most anticipated game of the fall. It's going to be so much fun online.

argh

fail on nothing new with Dragon Age :(

SpishackCola

Dragon Age Origins looked sweet!

D-Sovereignty

I'm off to my 2nd job, I'll catch up tonite

carlosrodas

I'd rather have and iPhone that my crappy all play wii

carlosrodas

Cool. I've always wanted a game where I could die for a reason.

Heliophage

@Satsuz: Ah crap, now it's working and I look crazy.

Oh well.

Woo Bioware!

Satsuz

Ahahaha, the Rupture site is screwed.

"trogdor is burninating our servers" under an ASCII pic of the dragon-man himself.

Satsuz

"4:03 crecente - Could this be some big news???

4:03 crecente - Pleasants has AWESOME hair, btw"

god, I love this site.

also, liveblogging is awesome. :D

man in gauze is king ramses II, silly.

So...EA's trying to one-up Xbox Live now?

argh

I'm not liking this Nucleus/increased micro-transactions junk, but Rupture is mildly interesting.

Satsuz

Everybody gets awesome scary space shooters, and we get F·"%&G golf on the Wii!!!!!!!!!

carlosrodas

Cruise control for stalking?

Heliophage

crecente - They're talking about improving consumer experiences.

crecente - Wait, she just said they were going to make microtransactions a bigger part of your gaming experience.

hahahahaha

riffleraffle

seriously? microtransactions are such a crock of shit...

BDaiber

I have more EA IDs than I can count on one hand. I never remember my previous one by the time I get a new game or beta.

Heliophage

What the hell EA, Nucleus...making me make ANOTHER EA login community name thing.

SpishackCola

Natalie Gulbis is hot.

argh

@carlosrodas: Now that there's a lull in interesting stuff... In my defense, I voted for other creatures on there, too. Greg Grunberg's (sp?) was awesome.

Satsuz

AWESOME hair? More awesome than your own? Some of us might find that hard to believe, Crecente.

Pombar

Dude. I'd be upset too, Natalie Gulbis is freakin' hawt. Google for proof.

cable83

lol Natalie Gulbis is more famous for being hot then actually winning. She's only won one professional tournament.

riffleraffle

Ooh, Natalie Gulbis is hot.

Loreo

Obviously Peter would be winning. We all know girls can't play games.

Okari

What an amazingly descriptive live-blog.
Seriously..
"Okay they are talking about this game now"
>
"Okay now they are talking about something that begins with a T, I think, for a different game"
>
"I think the guy in front of me just farted."
>
"And now they are wrapping up, I think they show is iver.. they revealed a bunch of new stuff, announced some new games and like some guys from Bungie showed off their top secret project.. thanks for joining us for this up to the min live blogcast!"

Bastard11

@Satsuz:

That's what we all saw. Not sure why. Maybe NBA Live 09 wasn't that interesting. :P

Heliophage

I would drool at a cooperatvely developed Halo RPG with Bungie and BioWare, naturally published by EA.

Heliophage

I had nothing from 3:47 to 3:58, it's back now... but did I miss anything?

Satsuz

umm, check your connection fellas!

preskewl

@Dragoona: I wish... I wish

Megan Fox iz Hot ^-^ -ph15h

Natalie "bewbs" Gulbis, wooo!

SpishackCola

Could someone write something just to let us know you're still alive?

zegota

Brian come back!!

mike566

Anyone else's live blog about 10 minutes behind?

Thugmunk

Did we lose the feed or something?

riffleraffle

@Polterg3ist:

Some people arent made for sports.

I mean come on you're fighting a similar arguement to GTA makes you wanna kill people. In sports games you get to play as the stars you love, in GTA you get to do something else you'll never get to do.

In the safety of your home. Enjoying yourself.

Communist_Gamer

@Polterg3ist: I value my teeth too much (and the money I've spent on them for fillings and whatnot) to be a boxer, but I do play lots of other sports in RL and in games.

Also, Dynamic DNA just sounds like a fancy PR feature. Note the alliteration.

Satsuz

What the hell, Bungie.

What the Bunsen-burning hell.

Polterg3ist

I can't believe there was no Star Wars talk. I need my Battle Front 3 this year!

Okari

@Blah8: Yeah, his right hand was obviously off a row...or column?

Llanwar

This was fun, but no thanks to EA for that. I was hoping for something more "WOW!".

@argh: I could be wrong, you could be right. I'm just going with what I think I know here.

Satsuz

@crunks:
"Trailer is showing again"?

Blah8

4:25
crecente - Trao;er os sjpwomg

what in the hell was that supposed to be?

crunks

@riffleraffle: Seconded. It seems as though EA has shown their hand well before the press conference. Barely any surprises.

ThisCharmingMan

@Satsuz: Totally, I got a bit mixed up there.

argh

@Communist_Gamer: Yeah I was hoping for something new. I guess the id thing was new, but they just kinda announced it.

ZeroBlade

We couldn't see the rage trailer at the live feed so i started to search for crecente in the public.

[xs229.xs.to]

If thats you, you are very near from Will Wright Brian :P

LordCiego

@ Crecente: Get some rest! You're typing incoherently.

Satsuz

4:25 crecente - Trao;er os sjpwomg

WTF?

Shifty203

"Trao;er os sjpwomg". The news I have been waiting for. Thank You

MentalNote

Ricetello-We'd like to announce a new partner...

Me-OH MY GOD IT'S BUNGIE!

Ricetello-Id Software.

Me-Oh. Well. Errr...

Mascott

crecente - Trao;er os sjpwomg

Trailer is playing?

FeatherNET

Wasn't a bad show at all except for the iPhone and Rupture crap.

Loved Mirror's Edge. Would have liked to see the new stuff about RAGE. Left 4 Dead looks alright.

Candlejack

Lame EA conference

Thank goodness Bungie didn't get swallowed up

Snuffbox

Oh, and no Battlefield 3 ;_;

Mit

@ZeroBlade:

Aye. All a bit boring really its 00:25 in the UK and I'm left wondering why I'm still up for this.

Communist_Gamer

That was...underwhelming

riffleraffle

Thanks for the blog Crecente :D

CukyDoh

That was boring.

Mit

Boo, I wanted some WAR info!

SpishackCola

so uneventful...

ZeroBlade

@argh: I think there's a difference between owning the company and being partners with them. Unless EA is using "partners" as a new PR term for their takeover spiel.

Satsuz

Will *never* buy anything from those crooks at Valve again.

GrandfatherParadox

Damn, EA's got ID, Bioware & Valve as partners now? That's crazy. How long until they snatch up Epic.

argh

id? Unexpected. Bungie was just watching I guess xD

Heliophage

Why was everyone talking about Bungie when this is EA?

Fireblast

I've fallen in love with Mirror's Edge.

presidentrich

@beat89:

Because they were physically there, a group of Bungie people. Read up.

Heliophage

Please drop the BioWare KOTOR bombshell!

(dreams)

EnigmaNemesis

I don't see why anyone expected Bungie to be here. There were exactly no clues, and all evidence pointed AGAINST it. No idea why Kotaku seized onto that idea so violently.

beat89

So, uh...where the FUCK is Red Alert 3?

RedRaptor

I'd rather have a correct spelling of the, it makes me feel like I'm reading a report by a 13 year old on world of warcraft. Anyways awesome!

TheBryanTarlowski

@Fireblast: Apparently there were Bungie guys hanging out outside the theatre before the briefing. Some people were guessing that the new splash page on their website had something to do with EA (for whatever reason) and that they were there to announce a partnership. We'll find out when that timer hits zero!

The Magnificen7

I like the new software!

Cap'n Jack

Hm, curious about the red objects in Mirror's Edge. Do you actually see them change colors? I remember in the trailer, nothing was changing. I also liked the idea that the architects in this dystopian future randomly colored some bits of their buildings red for kicks. Either that, or some of the shipments got mixed up with the communist dystopia next door.

celery

Hmm... Interesting. I would like to hear more about Trao;er os sjpwomg, though. Sounds exciting.

Pablos102030

@Dragoona: on teh interntz its sur iz.
