E3 2010!

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the biggest video game industry trade show, and because of that there are tons of surprises every single year. Recently, a post on the IGN.com message boards (a place I have gone to literally three times in the past year) asked folks what they'd like to see, and these were my personal top ten desires for this year's show.

1. FFXIV release date (I played a bit of it this week but the 5-20 frames a second average I got in the test version made me so nauseous I had to stop; I was highly impressed by it and want to know when I can get the real thing)

2. Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy vsXIII info (probably TGS stuff, but one can hope).

3. A few more useful PS3 and PSP features (usefulness can never be overrated; I'd love better music playback and codec support on PS3 and some nice non-game apps for PSP)

4. Maybe another game from Mistwalker (despite ignoring one of their games and become bored with the other, I wanna see if Sakaguchi-sama can still entertain me while having a game that is at least somewhat modern)

5. Gameplay from Rockstar's Agent (hah!)

6. 360 Slim (mostly so stores can be flooded with cheap used ones so I buy that to replace my E-74'd system) 

EDIT: This one certainly came true in impressive fashion, so I'm gonna keep an eye out for prices now.

7. The Last Guardian (gameplay and release date)

8. PS2 downloads on PSN (EDIT: I'd like for these to have Trophies, but I'm not crazy enough to think that will happen)

9. Admission of PSPs faults (lately there has been a lot of good content thanks to comics, minis, and PSN game releases, but I want them to admit to making mistakes and appease us with hardware price drops and announcements; I love my PSP but there is so much hate towards it that I'd like something positive on this front from E3)

10. Any new Sony or Microsoft exclusive IP to relieve sequelitis (I'm more looking forward to what Sony will announce since Microsoft's software lineup is 99% unappealing to me; I wish it wasn't, but I'm not going to change my tastes to suit a corporation)
 
EDIT: Yup, Microsoft's announced new IPs were of no interest to me whatsoever. I hope tomorrow's Sony press conference will make me do more than shrug.
