So excited. I’m heading out to LA next Monday for my first time at E3, teaming up with Russ so I can leech all the knowledge out of his head. (He’s a vet at this, and knows all the tricks.) Going to be getting plenty of coverage up on Chud.
Looking forward to checking out Rock Band 2 (next Tuesday!) and sitting down for a half hour with the guys behind Fallout 3. Nevermind Resident Evil 5, Gears of War 2 and all the announcements! Also, we’re going to see if it will be possible to liveblog the keynotes.
What are you guys most looking forward to hearing about?
Alex Riviello, I hope you enjoy E3, it sounds like a great show. I would like to know if King Of Fighters XII, and Tatsunoko vs Capcom will be available on the XBox 360 in the USA anytime soon. Also I am looking forward to coverage on…Battle Fantasia, any new Gundam games and of course 2009 releases like Street Fighter IV, and EA’s G.I. Joe.
Russ Fischer, Why would you do that? Why are you being so hostile to me? Were you an ant in a past live stepped on by an ancestor of mine? Just kidding about the last question…but is there some way I have offended you? Enjoy E3 or the beach.
I wanna see more PS3 titles announced this year! My 360 has had it too good for too long! But seriously, I want to hear more about Mirror’s Edge for the PS3. I’m getting a little tired of first-person shooters, but this game looks interesting.
Oh, and a confirmed setlist for Rock Band 2 and anything on God of War 3.

You bastion of journalistic integrity you, I love ya to death!
Personally I’m curious about Ghostbusters, Project Origin, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2 and Resident Evil 5. But I’ll take what you give me.
Nintendo’s big ‘Core Gamer’ announcement, any new info (or hands on impressions) of The Conduit.
Hands on Mirror’s Edge, on any platform, as I’m desperate to know how the control scheme is being done on it.
2K’ll probably be rolling out some info about X-Com, and despite my loss of faith in the former Irrational, I’m curious about what they’re doing with it.
Eidos Montreal. Deus Ex 3 info and anything about the as-of-yet-not-officially-announced-probably-Thief-4 project.
I recommend chatting with Arkane Studios about The Crossing if you get a chance (and if they’re even there). I’ll probably be getting info elsewhere, but these guys could use whatever notice they can get, especially with something as crazy and potentially revolutionary as The Crossing.
I still remember attending the E3 with the PS2 on display. That was back in the day where you could finagle a pass to the E3 pretty easily. It was one of the most memorable things I did in college.
As for the show, Im anxious to see how the Rock band/Guitar Hero war amps up. I want some big name bands being announced.
I want to hear about Resident Evil 5.
More than anything though, I want to be surprised. That’s one thing I sorta miss from the old days (like that E3 I was referring to). Before online journalism became the norm, EVERY May was a hallowed month for gamers because you were just itching to hear about what giant massive surprises the big 3 had in store for you.

#1 on my list of priorities. Activision isn’t attending, so we’re not going to get their side of things, unfortunately.

Completely agree about that, actually… and one of the reasons I haven’t been reporting on rumors. Better to be surprised with concrete details.
Oh, and how could I forget about Mirror’s Edge? So hyped for that one and hoping it’s playable.
Capcom’s supposedly got two more secret projects they’ll announce, including one for the Wii that’s described as “a cool take on a next-gen favorite” so any info on that would be cool.
