anyways check this out
With E3 just around the corner it’s not entirely unusual to see plenty of confidential information leak ahead of E3 press conferences. Whether this information is legit is anyone’s guess, but there’s certainly quite a few interesting titbits that’s sure to excite many if this list of Project Cafe related information is true. What do you guys think, plain fake or legitimate information?

The System:

Uses a custom IBM triple-core CPU running at 3.6GHz per core
The development kit contains 1gb RAM, but Nintendo have hinted that the console will actually have 1.5gb
Nintendo will be releasing games that will run 1080p natively. Sources say that with Nintendo’s art style and the power the system has, the games look ‘stunning’.
The system does run on AMD R700 card, but the architecture is slightly different and the clock speeds are much higher.
The System resembles JPN/EU SNES machines in color only and not in shape
The development kit is about the size of a 360, not the console
Close sources say it’s as if Nintendo is in “damage control” with 3rd party developers.
Nintendo is trying really hard to get 3rd parties on board to develop games and have offered incentives such as not releasing big-title Nintendo games in holiday seasons to compete against 3rd party titles.
Nintendo went to many 3rd party developers on guidance on what they were after with the new console in terms of system specs, controller and online system.

The Controller:

Nintendo have been keeping this really quiet and have only given developers controller prototypes to start designing games. However, the final controller build with all the features have only been given to Nintendo 1st and 2nd party developers for now.
Nintendo had planned on inserting a screen on the controller back when the Gamecube was in development, but opted out due to technology not being advanced enough to be functional
The controller that’s been given to developers has a large 5.7inch hd (960x640pixel) screen, 2 analogue sticks, 4 face buttons, 3 middle buttons (select/home/start in that order), 2 shoulder buttons and 2 triggers.
The triggers aren’t as deep as the 360’s triggers, but have plenty of push
The big thing about the screen is that it’s a multi-touch screen, contains it’s own battery and is detachable from the controller unit
The screen when detached contains its own memory so developers can store data on it, so gamers can play whatever the developer designs for the screen-only use
When the screen is attached to the controller it works by streaming content directly from the console
Nintendo are giving developers ideas other than just having it function as a quick menu screen for games while attached, or as a simple tamagochi-like mini-game when detached
The controller contains a gyroscope, but motion controls isn’t the focus of the controller like it was for the Wii

Games:

Nintendo will release a Mario platformer as a launch title which hasn’t been done since the N64.
The Mario platformer looks to be the spiritual successor to Mario 64.
Gamefreak and EAD are hard at work developing a Pokemon online RPG.
The Pokemon RPG is not an MMO, but does have a large online emphasis and will be Nintendo’s flagship title when showing off the online capabilities of the console.
There will be at least one new IP Nintendo will reveal at E3.
Nintendo is working on a new Zelda, but didn’t reveal anything to developers.

Other:

Some developers have had the Wii 2 dev kit for going on 2 years now. When the Wii 2 is released in late, that’s 3 years to develop games on
Because of such generous development time, Nintendo have pushed 3rd parties to develop high quality games to be released at or near launch.
Nintendo have sourced an external company to develop their online network, which the developer has commented, surpasses both the PS3 and 360 in terms of speed and functionality.
Nintendo is pushing for the console to be online 24/7 and have seamless online integration with many of their games
Friend codes are confirmed to be gone
Nintendo has been toying with the idea of a game where the main character is your Mii
Nintendo will be pushing their Pokemon RPG to showcase their online network
Rockstar are supposedly hard at work in bringing on of their “most popular” titles to the console.

360 keynote summed up so far - If you don't have kinect then fuck you. Also re-releasing Halo 1.

Every single game bar Halo has been shown to show off kinect so far.

I'm gonna buy Kinect just for me saying 'SHOCKWAAAAAVE' all the time on ME3 :D.


The rest of the conference should be called 'Viva Actor Studio'.
 
Wow the new Star Wars Old Republic looks really good - been too long since KOTOR.

ME3 - day one purchase.
 
Watching Xbox's conference was the funniest thing i've seen in a while.

I was thinking about starting a drinking game for everytime they said 'kinect'. I assume i would have died of alcohol poisoning.

this coverage is great

They have some guys from Kotaku who are so in tune with gamers. Then there's the presenter who tries to make everything sound good, making it sound like a sports broadcast.

EDIT: Changed my mind. They now have a clueless female presenter too and are reading out facebook posts. The woman was about to pronounce Halo as Harlo before she realised. Her perpetual smile is overly creepy.

Dissapointed by BF3.
I'm not convinced that was really a live demo. I'm too impatient to see it working on console. It looks great, but the segment was boring.

I also think NFS jumped the shark. Need for Running... Really ?

BF3 makes me wish i had a pc rig if it was indeed a live demo
 
I saw something about mobile/iOS gaming but cannot find it now. Im sure its around FIFA/Madden but cannot find it atall. Where abouts is it?

Edit: Got it now :)

PSVita is the stupidest name I've heard for a console.
Nice job, Sony. The price seems correct.

With the exception of UC3, no game presented were really interesting.

Cole from Infamous playable in SF X Tekken...

I hope Nintendo's new console brings something new, because so far this E3 is weak.
 
Poor press conferences all round, the PSV price was a definite positive and the cross play with PS3 looks promising.

Super Stardust HD 2 and LBP look excellent.

That was a live demo. The tank section was live mate. On the pc of course.

BF3 will demo the MP later today
 
Have to say watching the FIFA 12 E3 trailer again... anyone notice the whole time you see Lil' Wayne playing he's controlling everything with the D-Pad?? He obviously doesn't play FIFA then...

More EA bullshit.
