CO-OP 0114 -- CO-OP @ E3 2009: Nintendo + Sony - Mario, Metroid, God of War 3, Mod Nation Racers, The Last Guardian, PSP Go, PS3 Motion Control
matt chandronaitThe “big 3” publishers have all had their say and it’s really been a banner year for top-flight announcements. These past years have seem some rather humdrum presentations and it’s been difficult to upkeep the ZOMG-face one is expected—nay, required to have upon attendance at The E of Three. This year, I’m pleased to say, the opposite has occurred and there’s far, far too much awesome to discuss to fit even into three episodes (last one’s tomorrow, folks!) and three live streams (last one of those is tomorrow, too!). More after the show:
We really could have spent two full episodes on what we saw yesterday and, to be honest, both Sony and Nintendo’s announcements deserve more in-depth discussion. Time, however, is not on our side and we figure we’re doing better by y’all if we bring many things into focus instead of few. Still, we’re not trying to be comprehensive and I think there’s much to be said for maintaining some brevity in light of the mountains of awesome this E3 has shoveled all our way! And, of course, where would we be without our friends? Dan “Shoe” Hsu of BitMob stuck around after the Sony event and talked with Ryan and Cesar about all we’d seen that day. Strangely enough, the view of LA was best from on top of the parking garage outside of Sony’s event.
Nintendo was a bigger contender for the core audience than it has been recently with the announcement of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Galaxy II, Metroid: Other M, and while it may not look like the contender in light of present company, Women’s Murder Club: Games of Passion may actually surprise us when it’s released. C’mon, you can admit it!
Sony was not to be outdone, though, and it was there that we, at last, were able to gaze upon the graces of gameplay inherent in Assassin’s Creed 2. The Last Guardian made an appearance in a newly-redone trailer that actually caused me to tear up a little given the pedigree of the team (Ico and Shadow of the Colossus) and a character setup that’s clearly intent on tugging on your heart strings. Uncharted 2 was also granted a lengthy demo to many a gasp and cheer, the PSP Go garnered nearly as tepid a response as Uncharted and Creed did rampant frothing at the bit, though it did have an array of software announcements to accompany including Gran Tourismo PSP and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Maker. The PS3’s foray into the world of motion-control impressed the crowd even with a rather early tech-demo it’s only visual aid. Until, that is, Peter Molyneux came out and introduced their Milo project. Hard to explain, just watch.
Our very last E3 special goes live tomorrow and will feature a broader look at E3 and some on-floor shenanigans. And, as well, it will be the final live RevisionE3 episode from the show floor featuring us and the TRS guys! By the way, working with those guys this week has been everything we ever hoped it could be. Jeff, Dan, and Alex are freakin’ awesome and the only bad thing about hangin’ with those guys is that they don’t live close by and we can’t do that kind of stuff more often!

Love this show guys, I throw it on my iPod every week and watch it during bus rides. Keep it up, you're the best thing on the net when it comes to gaming talks. Bunch of genuine dudes talking about what we all love!
"This is the life."
"E3 should be everyday."
I'm so envious, you guys are killing me! Anyway, great show guys, keep up the great work.
Holy crap. The intro to the show takes place right outside my window. I live at the intersection of Mariposa and Wilshire. As soon as I saw the McDonald's with the Carl's Jr in the background I knew it was so. It's crazy that I was probably just hanging out inside while you guys were filming outside. Wish I could have come to say hello! Let me know if you guys are around there anymore this week.
Again, great show. I like seeing Shoe around and to see you guys have special guests of some sort each week. I still really love the show, guys! KEEP IT UP
I just wanted to thank you guys for all the hard work. I know it must be insane putting these great videos together this week.
Is that it guys? you're E3 coverage is finished? what about the Left 4 Dead 2 shocker!!!!! Anyways great stuff, keep up the best gaming show ever. See you next episode, Fearghal, Ireland.
Nothing much to say other than Shoe is, as always, a great contributor to the show, and some good, level headed discussion. Last Guardian has sold me a PS3, as has Uncharted. I'm hoping you bring the gang together for the last one, and do another round-table.
Being a gamer is good ;)
"WHAT!?!?!" Best part of the episode hands down.
You guys did such a great job of covering E3!! All the specials and the live shows were awesome. I'm sure you sacrificed a lot of sleep getting it all done, but we DO APPRECIATE IT! Thanks, keep up the great work.
Awesome job covering E3 guys.
Can't wait to see other specials in the future.
I find it a little amusing that Dan Hsu claims the devs of C.O.P. "didn't get the memo" on how mature open-world games can't sell on the DS.
In reality, Chinatown Wars has kept selling solidly since release and is now at 500,000 sales after 10 weeks. (http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=24661®ion=All)
That might not be a "hit" in the style of the console GTA titles, but it's also not a flop by any definition. There's plenty of 3rd party DS titles that would be very happy to hit half a million sales in less than 3 months, and I bit C.O.P. is one of them. And given how consistently it's now doing week to week, it's entirely possible that Chinatown Wars will end up being a million seller in the end.
"Not getting the memo" indeed. ;-)
Thanks again guys for your coverage of E3. I constantly read the twitter feeds from you all and checked out everything to talked about. You guys have been doing such a great job and I have been telling my coworkers and customers about Area 5 and the great work you do. Keep it up!
P.S. -=- Your work has inspired me and some of my coworkers to create our own blog and video review site. Soon to be hosted by squarespace and domain by godaddy.com ;) We can't wait for the iphone app to come out from S.Space too so that when we are up and running we can update from the road.
what is the instrumentals you guys are playing in the background during nintendo (new 4 player mario game) conference??? nice mellow beat that you guys always play in your vids...
Hey guys! It was so great to meet Matt and Ceasar, I'm a really big fan. For my first E3 I was blown away by the spectacle and can't wait to attend another. The show was amazing, and I thank you all for your excellent efforts in creating the best gaming coverage. I love the editing and effort you guys put into putting them out, and they are always of the best quality. Keep it up, I love all you guys!
