    I wonder if we will see anything from Bioshock: Infinite. Mainly though, I am pumped about Batman.

    I'm fairly certain it'll be at the show. I think there was a contest a while back to win a chance to go see the Bioshock Infinite E3 demo.

    Kaz and co. have to bring up the PSN issues; it would likely still be too open a wound at that point. They can't ignore it but they cannot make fun of it; if something happens down the line (ie. the exposed credit cards go nuclear), then people will look back at any humourous attempt in a sour manner as well, so I don't see how they cab laugh it off.

    I'm MORE curious about any potshots Nintendo and (especially) Microsoft will take.

    Great write-up Jeff. I've been thinking about how soon Forza 4 actually is! It hasn't been that long since they've released a massive and substantial release. Are they just going to stack on top of that content or make a dramatic change as big as Forza 2 to 3 was. Rally racing would be a great addition from the Turn 10 guys, but would there be enough of that to make a new purchase worthwhile. I can't wait to see!

    My dearest wish for E3 is that Irrational will announce they've canceled Bioshock Infinite to work on that.

    But let's not delude ourselves: it's never happening, and if it does it will be some scripted corridor-shooter bullshit where you kill suspects on sight.

    I would not be surprised to see a Kinect and Skype in-game chat demo for co-op and online play games such as Call of Duty.

    Certainly a strage year for E3.  It seems that Nintendo is breaking all the rules for a new console generation.  I would ask, is the concept of a console generation as we used to know it dead, or is Ninento piggy-backing on 360 PS3 technology for a truly current gen console while Microsoft and Sony prepare for the next gen further down the road?

    Yeah Rockstar what ever happened to Agent? That was a Rockstar North joint so i have pretty high hopes for that one. What better way for all of us to forget about the whole PSN thing, then showing some gameplay of that?

    Things I'm NOT expecting from E3, but would be SO EXCITED to hear about:

    - Yu Suzuki comes out and says they're making a Shenmue III
    - Somebody announces a new Jet Set Radio game
    - Sega WoW announces that instead of a new Valkyria Chronicles, they're working on Skies of Arcadia 2, clearly the better of the two series.
    - Maybe Power Stone 3? hm? maybe?

    Of course, SEGA has moved on to other stuff and abandoned all of these franchises... blah!
    wait Power Stone is Capcom, right?
    anyways, SEGA should go back to the good ol' Dreamcast days.

    Man, if we don't get any solid MGS Rising gameplay, I will be pissed. At least give us the story context or something. As disappointed as I was with MGS4, MGS Rising manages to give me that pre-MGS4 hype. Just seeing an MGS game (whether you consider Rising an MGS game or not) on a current gen console gets me excited since we only really had MGS4.

    I'd also like to see Battlefield 3 multiplayer footage. It'd be interesting to see if BF3 can at least minimize the MW3 hype that is sure to surge and also if the multiplayer holds up to BF2.

    Some goddamn Final Fantasy Vs. 13 for a change. Heck, ANY new JRPG for PS3 and 360. But mostly VS 13, cause I get the feeling Squeenix is shitting their pants not knowing what kind of game Vs 13 is supposed to be.

    Extensive Dark Souls demo displaying all the features of the game.

    Looking forward to the inevitable Uncharted 3 demo featuring some crazy set piece moment.

    As an avid MGS fan who played through MGS1,2 and 3 maybe 10 or so times a piece, I was disappointed with MGS4. It was easy and the story left me unsatisfied. I loved Peace Walker though. Story was okay in Peace Walker as MGS4 lowered my standards for future MGS stories. But I won't discuss it further here.

    Also, I want to see if Kojima announces a new project at E3. Or if he's to busy being president of Konami to be working on a new Zone of the Enders or what not.
