E3 2010 – it begins
Monday, June 14th, 2010
This is it, guys – the big gaming event of the year running from the 15th to the 17th. While E3 is always an exciting event I feel like this year is going to be a big one. There’s a lot of new technology being shown off between Microsoft and Sony’s motion control devices and Nintendo’s next DS incarnation. There will be some big name games on display like the new Zelda title and Portal 2, and much more.
Things are actually already under way in some respects. Nintendo has revealed details on their upcoming Zelda game simply titled “The Legend of Zelda” – set long before The Ocarina of Time. Microsoft has announced a change in name for their controller-less motion gimmick from “Natal” to “Kinect” – a name which makes sense in theory but in practice kind of sucks. Though, given the way it is looking it’s probably suitable. See and judge for yourself:
I’m personally excited for more footage from the upcoming Scott Pilgrim title. Footage was recently released of the 4 player co-op sides crolling beat ‘em up extravaganza. The visuals are amazing, the music is fantastic, so my fingers are crossed on the game playing living up to the rest of what we’ve seen.
And speaking of multiplayer goodness I am also hoping for a good showing from Behemoth on their next multiplayer title. Previously titled “Game #3″ the anticipated “BattleBlock Theater” will most likely be shown off in more polished form this year.
Aside from all of these titles there is so much more to come in the next week – it’s going to be a killer show with a ton of surprises including an announced surprise from Valve which many are speculating to be Source Engine 2.

E3 and Valve: Let’s Speculate!
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
Maybe's he's cancelling it in favor of another theme party...
Admittedly it’s a bit strange that Valve decided to cancel their Portal E3 Event a week or two before the festivities but it certainly is an attention getter. Valve is no stranger to getting attention though, made clear by the clever “blue screen incident” from the GDC Awards. So one has to wonder what Valve has up their sleeves. Speculation is abound and gamers seem to be getting their hopes up about the possibility of an announcement on Half Life 2: Episode 3 – a game that has been highly anticipated, long awaited, and in Valve Time Hell. Fans are even speculating and hoping to the point of making screen mockups.
Other fans have been making jokes regarding the possibilities of Left 4 Dead 3 which Gabe himself has had a good sense of humor about to say the least. When one fan suggested Gabe would need protection if they announced Left 4 Dead 3, his response was “Uh… how about Left 4 Dead 2: Episode 1?”
Another possibility up for consideration is The Orange Box 2 – a follow up to the extremely popular Orange Box which contained the original Portal along with the debut of Team Fortress 2 and more. This would certainly be exciting but how would they roll it out? With all of the content updates for TF2 over the years it’s unlikely that would find a home in an Orange Box Sequel. Our guess is that IF Valve announced this we’d probably see Portal 2, Half Life 2 Episode 3, and maybe a few other surprises. It’s unlikely though because we can’t imagine any other material they would package with those two at the moment. Left 4 Dead 3 would be too big of a game to stick in with the others and given the success of the series, Valve would probably want to market that on it’s own. As far as we’re concerned, all of this is really up in the air.
Valve surely has no intention of disappointing us and everyone is certainly talking about what might be in store for us. Even if it isn’t the long awaited HL2:E3 (E3!? COULD IT BE?) – we know they will deliver and mostly likely in an exciting way. One still has to wonder what is taking so goddamn long with HL2 Episode 3…
Of course, this adventure MIGHT have something do with all of the delays…
