Heres my opinions on what I care about that has been shown so far:

PD Orta - I've almost ran out of clean pants from blowing my wad everytime I see this game.

Knights of the Old Republic - Bioware might just possibly be little gifts from god.

DOA Extreme Vollyball - Why do I keep hopelessly staring at these pics? Oh I know why, bewbies!

Star Wars Galaxies - Vader looks sweet, as does this game. Too bad we have to wait a year to get space combat.

Ninja Gaiden & Shinobi - I'm gonna be Ninja'd out by these two, looking forward to both.

PD Orta - Damn there went my last pair of pants.

Metroid: Prime - Possible Halo killer??? Looks badass from the screenshots, hopefully it won't play like ass.

Zelda - How could you not be excited to play this? It looks like a damn cartoon....a good lookin' cartoon at that.

XBox Live - I'm so happy to have broadband. I will be so happy to be able to talk with my fellow Phantasy Star Online teammates, as typing just takes too long.

and I've saved the best for last:

Doom III - Someone hold me I'm scared. id kicks my ass again.

Marvel vs Capcom 2 for XBox:

Very good to see more Capcom support for XBox, even if this game is an old one. Also good to see a 2D fighter for the platform.

 

[ChrisMatson]

SOCOM.

 

[BrianB]

I have zero interest in MvsC2 on the XBox etc... Are there going to be /any/ additions to the almost two year old DC perfect port?

 

[Michael St. Clair]

Brian,
I have no idea. PS2 is getting the same thing.
I would much rather see a disc compiling all the Darkstalkers/Vampire games.

What, like the two year old Vampire Chronicles on the DC?

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast announced for the X-box and the Gamecube:

Press Release: Jedi Outcast for Xbox and Gamecube!
Tue, May 21, 02 03:41:28 PM EDT
Pretty big news, considering I said it would never happen (well I said it could happen for Xbox). It looks like one of the best single-player Star Wars stories is coming to a console near you.
LUCASARTS TO BRING BEST SELLING STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT II: JEDI OUTCAST TO GAMECUBE AND XBOX
Latest in Critically Acclaimed Action Game Series to be Available This Winter for Two Next Generation Console Systems
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- May 21, 2002 -- Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, the popular action game predicted by many in the media as a favorite to win best PC title of 2002, will make its debut on Nintendo GameCube and Xbox this winter.

Armed with the power of the Force and an arsenal of weapons, including a Jedi Knight's signature lightsaber, players hold the fate of the Star Wars galaxy and the destiny of Kyle Katarn in their hands.Star Wars Jedi Outcast for PC was developed by Activision, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Raven Software. LucasArts and Activision will partner again on the GameCube and Xbox versions, which are being developed by Vicarious Visions.

Great-now as long as they play a LOT of Halo first to get the controls down, I'll be happy. Glad that I'll finally be able to play this without dropping a bunch of cash on a new PC.

 

[Michael St. Clair]

What, like the two year old Vampire Chronicles on the DC?

Yes, exactly like that.

I'm saying I would buy that for the XBox (for which the DC version was never released in the USA) before I would buy MvC2.

Do you think I'm silly for saying that?

 

[BrianB]

Do you think I'm silly for saying that?

Not at all. I'm saying if you've got a DC, why not just buy VC which is already out instead of waiting for the offchance of it being released.

 

[Michael St. Clair]

Not at all. I'm saying if you've got a DC, why not just buy VC which is already out instead of waiting for the offchance of it being released.

Because I have Hunter and Savior on the Saturn and haven't been that motivated.

I don't think there's a chance in hell of it actually getting released in 'region one' for any system.

No pun intended? Yeah, right!
So far this is the best announcement of E3 for me!

To go off the the main topic here, "Opening the Xbox" was an extraordinarily interesting read. Wow.
-Sony announced today that "The console wars are over". Nintendo cried all the way to the bank today, & MS offered to buy the entire country of Japan, but they "are not interested".

Has anyone noticed that the offical high-rez screens of Panzer Dragoon ORTA are widescreen?? Let us hope that the game is indeed in 480P/16x9....
