With Next-Generation gaming materializing in a big way this year and DirectX 10 all set to push the graphical bounds beyond, there's no doubt that the gaming industry is really pushing forward at a fervent pace. Gaming is in the spotlight more than it ever was and at such a time you’d expect the biggest event in the industry, E3, to be bigger and more epic in size than before. But what gamers got was an extremely downsized E3 that was merely a shadow of its former self. Although it was announced a while back that E3 2007 would be smaller, I expected it to be more to-the-point and deliver a good amount of content nevertheless. In that respect, I was a little disappointed this time, since along with the glam, the event seemed to have lost most of its magic. To make things worse, a few other things (announcements included) saddened me even more; allow me to share a few of those with you...
Metal Gear Sony
During the last generation of consoles, the PlayStation 2 reigned supreme and almost every gamer had one; which means that a large portion of those people got their hands on the previous Metal Gear Solid titles. In the current generation of consoles, the Xbox 360 is undoubtedly more popular compared to the PS3 (at least where sales figures are concerned), which means that making MGS 4 a PS3 exclusive would restrict a lot of former PS2 owners and MGS fans who now own Xbox 360s, from playing the game. And that totally sucks. But it's exactly what happened this E3. Yes ladies and gentle-gamers, Metal Gear Solid 4 is a PS3 exclusive (your tears go here).
Couldn’t get any worse right? Wrong! Following the bomb he dropped at E3, Kojima said in a Sony Conference that E3 2007 was crap (his selection of words was slightly better than mine though), and he hoped that it would go back to its former self. Maybe that’s the reason he didn’t release any gameplay footage at the event; instead, he released another cinematic trailer (made using the game’s engine) featuring a bout between Vamp and Raiden. Why the hell would we want any of that stuff (we’ve already seen a ton of them) when we haven’t even seen what the game plays like!? To spit even more on E3, Kojima showed off gameplay footage from MGS 4 at Sony’s Conference in Japan, less than a week after E3!
E3 2007 Disappointments

E3 basically became more like a place for Hi Profile Guys, and there was little or no games of the quirky kind shown or found hidden by people this time.
Also no Kentai hall. So no chance to see those Strange and New kind of Gaming Peripherals. it was like a science museum in there.
With E3 planning on Moving(Rumour) I hope they get back to the old and huge show they were.

Now they FINALLY do something right and people get POed :P This is a never ending thing I guess. Atleast its COMING. Not like its not.
You always have the trusty PC to play it in. And if its anything like UT2k4 it will be compatible in Non ULTRA high end rigs :)

Also DUDE! That trailer was simply awesome. I mean, people already have gone so philosophically deep into that trailer describing the fight between Raiden and the immortal VAMP. The trailer even gave some info on how Revolver became such a huge force to reckon with from being that silly guy in the olden days (MGS3) The trailer was from Nowhere Disappointing.
This Trailer Teasing has been a long tradition of the series, Its always been like this!
