As happy as I am about this, Quantam of Solace was total shit. The engine is dreadful. I don't see how changing the movie license to one that spawned a popular game in 1997 is going to fix this. It's also the final nail in the coffin for those that were hoping for a retro release of the Rare original.
My other E3 comments:
Nintendo are full of win. 3DS looks awesome, as do all the games. Apparently a 3D version of Ocarina of Time is coming. Awesome.
Sony gave me absolutely nothing to care about. Very dissapointed.
After watching the Goldeneye trailer and seeing that it is not a direct port of the original N64 game, I am disappointed. I'm sure it will suck, badly. Also, why change Pierce Brosnan? Is it a big deal? No. Is it annoying to myself? Kind of. As a huge fan of the original and still playing the game to this day, I am let down after the supposed rumors of a Wii release of the classic. I really hope one day a proper release/port/rehashing can happen.
Donkey Kong Country will be awesome, as that will be hard to screw up, and since Retro usually does a good job on games, I'm sure it will be good.
The new Zelda looks interesting to me. I'm sure it will be much better then what was shown at E3 as only small parts were shown off, and there was some hardware hiccups during the presentation. I particularly like the style better. It doesn't look exactly like Twilight Princess. It seems to have a bit of a cartoon/original feel to it.
The 3DS will be awesome. Standing in line for that one.
Now, since I don't have 360 or PS3, I have no other comments on their presentation, since I really don't care, and they were mediocre at best.
On the PC side of things, I really am only interested in Blizzard games. I was hoping to see some Diablo 3 news, but since they have grown to be almost bigger than E3 themselves, I'll bet they will hold out till Blizzcon.
The Goldeneye game is such a joke. When this was originally rumored as soon as I heard the name activision I knew it was instant fail. Anyways, besides it not being Brosnan, there are apparently only going to be like 4 levels BASED off of levels from the n64 version. Not to mention that the storyline is no longer about a post cold war conflict or anything to do with Goldeneye. Can we say Rogue Agent?

It's not the same way. It's 3333333333333333333333333D. Go watch an Imax movie then come back. If the 3DS is as good as everyone is saying it is I'll buy every game again.
But still, this was probably the worst E3 ever for crappy carbon copies of shit we've already played.
MS and Sony still haven't figured out that the only way Wii got away with having a waggle controller was to make it the default, and yeah, the Kinect launch lineup is aggressively lame. It's like they made the perfect blend of misguided "family-friendly" bullshit and Wii shovelware.

Again: neat hardware, absolutely no compelling reason to get it. Microsoft failed hard this year.
How do you go about launching class action law suits for deliberately misleading corporate communications?
What it means is, a couple of its games are being resurrected to no doubt underachieve on a new format.
Have you ever thought that the profits from these games might be funnelled into the development of a new Dreamcast console? I for one thank Bilal Xia and others for mass-mailing Sega to make this a reality. There won't be a need for a lawsuit in 2 years time when you're playing Shenmue 3 on your Dreamcast DX. I call it DX because I think it will be the original unit with HD and USB and WIFI enhancements for a low cost.

Give me back my GBA slot.
They never took it away from you. If a GBA slot is more important to you than a camera then you stick with the DS Lite.

Not with them starting the move to 3DS. One thing I liked about both the Gameboy (and, at first, DS) line and the Playstation line is that they retained full backwards compatibility. Over the course of the current generation, both of these product lines have limited or ended that practice. As someone who frequently replays his old games but doesn't want the living room junked up with a hundred consoles, I find this very obnoxious. I have probably 40 GBA cartridges which will be useless if I trade my DS Lite in for a 3DS, and yeah I know I could just keep the DS around as well but that's not really the solution I'm looking for.

Ask that to SEGA.
