i think a lot of good stuffs have been revealed at the conclusion of E3 2005 Convention. I for one was impressed by Dark and Light, the Witcher and Full Spectrum Warrior.I guess ill be looking forward to those games as soon as they're released.

I have huge expectations for Auto Assault. D&L just screams Lineage to me and I plan on staying away from it. Fallen Earth seems like an AO clone, which is not a bad thing, since AO needs a graphic and content update and Fallen Earth will satisfy the most sci-fi hungry gamer. I will stay far away from Vanguard. Just looking at its interface screams "EQII! EQII! EQII!!".

D&Donline!

an u advertise D&D online way way way way too much.
DnL is probably the most technically innovative.
Age of Conan . For innovations in gameplay. i like their new combat system ideas.
D&D online for better questin(not a big fan of quests myself)
Imperator For Pvp
These are the ones i think are innovative in the most ways.
i am personally gonna purchase Imperator and DnL. day they come out.
and AGe of conan and vangaurd are sceduled for later release so if they seem better ill change.

I'm watching two more than the others right now (not that I don't try to watch them all).
Vanguard. Finally, the Vision (tm) that made EQ such a huge hit is returning. And this time the team has far more experience and the backing to get the job done. As for the interface, the game is in alpha and already has an interface better than many games on the market. The guy they have working on the interface is someone who became very popular making mods for the EQ interface after they switched to xml. He is a great artist and made some beautiful interfaces. I expect that they will not only have a great interface, but a number of different styles from which to choose.
Warhammer. There will finally be a DAoC 2. They promised that DAoC 2 would never happen, but with Mythic making the new Warhammer game an RvR game, it will basically be DAoC 2, they just have new lore to play with (and very good lore at that). I think (hope) they will have learned from their mistakes and make and just expand on the RvR system of DAoC which is the best PvP system out there today.
Well if the interface looks like EQ2 then it must be an EQ2 clone....................
Never heard of "never judge a book from its cover?
Anyway, Vanguard looks very promising (EQ2 interface or not), also D&L and Darkfall seems ok.
D&D will be the biggest disappointment ever..........instancing anyone? Now, that s screams EQ2!!! (sorry Anofalye)
For me:
Fallen Earth:I need to play a science fiction mmo one day
Hero's Journey:Looks pretty sweet
Auto Assault:LOOKS AMAZING! I can't wait to be in the cars and PvPing!!
Dark and Light: Kind of, do not really care that much.
Land of Ten Oceans:This seems the most interesting for me. You can build houses, etc. Can own shops, and do a lot more. I can't wait for this. This the mmo I want to get the most right now.

Currently Playing:
Nothing
Unless Mythic lied to me SEVERAL times when I was in their booth at E3, Imperator won't have PvP... Of course I could be on crack or just insane in general, but I seem to remember that for some reason...

If you ask me. Spore looks like the best game at E3

I've read that too. Imperator will have no pvp aside from gladitorial combat (ie: arena duels).
D&D online seems boring
)
its dosnt seems thats the game offering much(what.he got like just 4 proffsions?)
vangurad seems good.like eq2 without sony
sony just take good concepts of games and turn them to shitty games
swg could be a lot more than he is
so as eq2
lotr online should go out some time in 2006(if they didnt delayed from the last time i checked
well,the world of lotr is good,so lets hope the game will be to :P
I dont get it, even after numerous previews stating how currently DnL is so mediocre gameplay wise, everyone is still so hyped about it. I used to be, but honeslty, theres no way the game will release in a playable state with all its system working.
I loved the look of Hero's Journey since it was first (well, second time really) announced, and after reading all the good things about it from E3 I cant wait.

well i was wrong ill admit it i was lead to believe tehy ahd good PvP but thats what i get for trusting second hand sources.
anyway kunou are u sure because it seemed to me from the picture galeries that u guys seemed to dedicate most of your vital attnetion to the booth babes....
so maybe u missed a few details.
im just playing......or am I?

Actually none of the pics in the gallery so far were taken by me. Since I got back from E3 I've been absolutely swamped with one thing after another, by far not the least of which being a quite possible upcoming court battle between my wife and her exhusband over whether or not we can move out of state with the kids. So yeah, I've been a tad busy and haven't gotten my E3 Impressions article quite finished and submitted yet, along with which would be some of the pics I took. (For the record though me and Reed were teamed up so we both saw everything the other saw for the most part, except for a bit of free time here and there, so the articles he has written so far I was there for those as well).

so true, Warhammer is going to be amazing!
a few 'off the beaten path' ones. not so mainstream but have promise(maybe its all they have but we will see)
Trials of Ascension- http://www.shadowpool.com/index.php
I'm looking forward to seeing how this one plays out. very interesting ideas. (these are off top of my head and could be wrong/changed/abandoned)
no lvl's ! skill based, advacing by use(i.e. morrowind i would think)
innovations- where quite possible you could be the only one who has discovered a new way to craft something, or a new way to cast a spell, you learn this in ways i have no idea lol. but the information would become very valuable.
you can only chat to people around you, no magicly whispering a guy on other side of the world. rumors of trying to disable teamspeak for it(you real roleplayers should dig this).
18 player races from pixie to dragon. supposedly dragon is not like horizons where you hop happily around town letting humans pat you on the behind, but you chose dragon you do indeed have a very rough road to adulthood, being hunted for your scales/reagents and living in seclusion.
open pvp with semi-permadeath. 100 lives i believe. if you beat someone down they go unconscous and you have the choice to kill them or not. if you choose to though, and there are witnesses you will be flagged as a murderer.
many other cool things i dont know alot about like religion, artifacts, weird economy(very player driven, realistic mob drops making 99% items player made), player built settlements.
i have a couple more im watching but not really as closely as this so ill dig up some info on them and post again if it would interest anyone.
if this game look good to you though, check out this FAQ from their forums, i think you will be anxious to see if they can pull it off as i am.

only problem is that there is no announcement of when its going to be released, or even when beta will start. but hey, its some good reading regardless.
It wasn't at E3 but I'm waiting desperately for Roma Victor to launch, the twitch-based combat & no magic combination do it for me and if you're into crafting then the range of skills is staggering. Nothing else really catching my eye at the moment - bring on RV!

Hmmm well I guess Im easily please because Im looking forward to all of them
However if I had to name one it would be Vanguard. Im a big fan of BM's work and I know Marius Enge has the potential for greatness despite AO. Between them the chances of producing something outstanding seem high.
I salivate in anticipation

DIE HERETIC!
Imperator, Vanguard(if there is non-raiding servers), Tabula Rasa and CoV(depend on the PvE and what they do toward the nasty Hamidon for non-raiders) may be quite good as well since there was a S in the subtitle!
Imperator PvP and PvE systems are totally set apart, which mean a level to much PvE carbear wont be good in PvP, and a ultimatekillerofmothers.com will still be a noob in PvE, which is what is strongly appealing to me. I suppose I will be on the PvE more, but surprisingly, when I am given a real choice like this, I may stick more to the PvP and who know?
PS: Did I say how awesome D&Donline will be? (main thing I dislike in it, the action enforcing setting, but see, I cant judge rationnally any TSR product before I try it, so yes, I often bitch at Wizard of the Coast, they tend to mess up things and fail a LOT...but that is beside the point...it is D&D *start drooling*) Action packed adventure kill the Baldur's Gates...I guess D&D is run by masochists! D&D fans hardly are ''action pack adventures'' fans and we rarely like grouping strangers at any cost, but guess what, Wizard of the Coast is clueless and check Heroes of Might and Magic IV if you have any doubts about how deeply lames some changes can be! But enought of any nonsense! D&D will revolutionize the world, democracies will crumbles and tyrannies will be overthrown, worldwide!

Agreed. That game looks very promising and innovative. Skill system, innovation system, realistic mob-drops and the semi-perma death .. yup gonna be on the look-out for this game.
It is still far under everyones radar, but I am sticking by this game like I have been for over a year now.
Fallen Earth is the game I am most looking forward to.
I heard from my friend who went to E3 that Imperator was reallllllly sucking in performance. I don't know what he meant by that, but he did say that he's definetly going to Gods and Heroes when it comes out. Sounds like imperator is only got it's developer's name going for it now!
I've looked at the other ones and I'm not as impressed as I am with Gods and Heroes. They are all just clones... well maybe not AA.
GnH for the win!

Imperator was probably the most polished and "real" demo I saw on the floor. One of the few that actually let you just sit down and play their game from the start rather than throw an E3 smoke screen up. Not sure where he got "bad performance" from.

I think alot of people are mistaking screen shots of Imperator as PvP ones because they show "humanoid" vs "humanoid" type battles and they are assuming both "humanoids" are players but if they read the background on the game, they would see that it's all PvE in a massive battle against NPC's.
