    E3 2008 - what are you hoping to see or hear?

    E3 kicks off in Los Angeles on Monday July 14th, and it looks like this year's could be a good one.

    There's loads of rumours flying around, and quite a few gamers have their own expectations, so, what are yours? What would you like to see announced or previewed?

    I think this'll be the occasion for Microsoft to unveil its motion-sensing controller, and I'm quite looking forward to seeing what that has to offer.

    In terms of games, I'd most like to see some form of announcement/preview of Forza Motorsport 3 - I'd love a demo, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

    From Nintendo I'd like to see some hint at better online options on the Wii. Perhaps Wii Sports 2 with online multiplayer.

    On the Sony front, I'd really like to see them expand on Home. It had a mild response to begin with, and that's fading slowly due to the time taken to release. Would love to hear some big Home improvements.

    How about the rest of you guys, any games in particular you want to see?

    Re: E3 2008 - what are you hoping to see or hear?

    Sony.
    Want to see Wipeout PSN. Its well overdue already, would like to see a release date.
    GT5 and wouldn't mind some details on the damage modelling.

    Nintendo.
    Couldn't give a monkey tbh.

    360.
    Halo news. Bungie are making some sort of announcement, so its either a prequel or Halo 4
    Lots of Fable 2 please.
    Infinite undiscovery, would mind seeing some more videos and information.

    PC.
    More info on Diablo 3 and the WoW expansion WotLK, though can't see either happening.

    I'd like to see more info for Project Origin, and an announcement that The Force Unleashed is coming to the PC after all. Also, I'd like to hear some news on GT5...

    Re: E3 2008 - what are you hoping to see or hear?

    mainly want to know about 'Real Pirahna Bytes new game'.. RPB- report on interweb says more details going to be at E3.. http://www.gamersglobal.com/news/1082

    and if they are there, then more details on..

    Gothic 4: Arcania
    Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods
    Fallout 3 ...

    (i'm a fan of Gothic - can you tell?)


    I take it your asking us this question so you know which areas to cover in greater depth for the HEXUS.E3 articles?

    Re: E3 2008 - what are you hoping to see or hear?

    I'm mostly interested in news on fallout 3 but I'd also be interested in hearing about KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) 3, which I believe is in development?

    Fallout 3
    Fable 2
    Diablo 3
    Starcraft 2
    Dawn of War 2

    I kinda had my fill of Diablo 3 from the gameplay video for now, so I'd like to hear more on the rest more. I'd also like to hear something about HL2: Ep3.
