Is anybody here going to E3?

Sun Tzu · 05-10-2004, 01:06 PM

Just wondering.

SackAttack · 05-10-2004, 01:22 PM

Yeah, I am.

sterlingice · 05-10-2004, 01:58 PM

A friend and I were going to fly out there as "buying representatives" from the used game store he pretty much keeps in business because they have tickets every year that they don't use. Unfortunately, after syllabuses (syllabi?) were handed out the first week of the semester, that fell through because I have three projects due this week

I doubt I'm going to have much time for EA at E3, given their level of response to my PR inquiries over the months. Myy time will be much better spent with companies who actually make a fucking effort to work with me.

Mantle2600 · 05-10-2004, 02:33 PM

SackAttack, are you involved with the gaming industry? What do you do?

SackAttack · 05-10-2004, 02:34 PM

Heh, thanks, Neuq.

Mantle2600 · 05-10-2004, 02:52 PM

Oh thats cool, thanks, just wonderin.

Marc Vaughan · 05-10-2004, 05:11 PM

I'm at home in England working on FM .... Riz has gone over there however as has Miles who deals with all the PR/Biz stuff here at SI ... if you bump into them say "Hi"

tucker342 · 05-10-2004, 05:16 PM

That would be so great to go to E3....

Ryan S · 05-10-2004, 06:49 PM

One of these days I should take one of the guest passes Gamespy likes to email me about, and hop on a plane to LA.

I can think of worse ways to spend a week.

SackAttack · 05-10-2004, 07:52 PM

And about $1000, between your hotel and plane ticket, Ryan.

I'm fortunate in that for the last four years, it's been a simple matter of a train ride for me to get there. Means I can usually attend the show for $50 or less, total. Woo.

It would not be so bad.

I can get flights to LA for about £340. Hell, it probably costs me more to fill up my car over here!

I also have a cunning plan to avoid hotel bills. I will show up at your front door and sleep on your couch for a week.

DanGarion · 05-10-2004, 08:19 PM

I am going Wed thanks to Vivendi Universal for my website.

£340 is pretty close to $500, isn't it? Hell, even if the pound buys you $1.50 USD, that's $510. And if that's not round-trip, that's actually a total of $1,020.

Sorry, we just had the couches reupholstered. But we have a lovely hardwood floor for you!

Pumpy Tudors · 05-10-2004, 10:27 PM

I just want to know if NCAA Football 2005 will be on Xbox Live. I guess EA will make an announcement if this is the case, but if I could get some information from someone I trust who's at E3, that'd be great.

Um. Hint hint.

SackAttack · 05-10-2004, 10:44 PM

You clearly don't trust me, or you wouldn't be playing that EA crap to begin with.

Given that I've already graduated, and that the aforementioned graduation was from a university that does not have a football team, if I don't go with EA, how else will I play college football? Besides, the NCAA Football games are some of my most favorite ever. So nyah.

SackAttack · 05-11-2004, 12:04 AM

Bah.

Anyway, the answer is yes.

Francis_Cole · 05-11-2004, 07:29 AM

What games you lot looking forward to most?
For me its the usual: HL2 and madden 2005.
oh and eastsiiiiiiiiiiiide of course

Other than your guys' upcoming titles, I am really looking forward to NCAA 2005, ESPN NFL 2005, Gran Turismo 4, and the new Pirates! remake.

riz · 05-11-2004, 01:38 PM

Yep, as Marc said, I'll be there at Sega's stand to play around with NHL EHM. Feel free to drop by and say hi if you are lurking around

Noop · 05-11-2004, 01:40 PM

So........SackAttack please mention that players most progress in Dynasty please... I have a feeling they will do some F'd up stuff on Dynasty to totally ruin the game for me and leave me out of 50 dollars i have been saving for the game. So please oh please can you ask them if it progresses correctly... thank you

I'm not quite following your complaint - you don't think offseason player progression works correctly in NCAA 2004?

No I mean I am afraid they are going to mess it up like they did MVP Baseball 2004.

I am really interested in the new Nintendo DS portable. Sounds really fun, with the touch screen and all.

Feel Free to ship me a copy of NHL EHM right now, riz. That goes for you too, Marc, Francis and any other SI guy who might be reading this.

Ah. I doubt that will happen for a couple of reasons: 1) If it ain't broke, don't fix it and 2) NCAA is made by Tiburon while MVP is made by EA Canada, so it's different designers in charge of each game.

From what I've heard, the primary upgrade to NCAA 2005 is the home-field advantage stuff.
