The Games You Didn't See at E3

kotaku.com — There are a handful of key titles that we thought we could expect for this year's holiday season, so why weren't they showing alongside their seasonal bretheren? We rounded up for you a complete list of this year's no-shows and the hype that preceded them, and then tried to get to the bottom of their conspicuous absence.

  • Loornadune, on 07/22/2008, -1/+6I thought this would have been about the lesser publicized games, the title fooled me though. Still, showing you the drama of the games industry regarding this increasingly irrelevant event.
  • DragonForce4, on 07/23/2008, -1/+14sweet this means that we'll be playing Duke Nukem Forever in 2015, right after the release of Diablo 3.
    • Sornos, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11It's a simultaneous launch with Half-Life 2: Episode 3.
  • Isfacat, on 07/23/2008, -1/+28Duke Nukem Never!

    Somehow I knew the biggest joke in gaming history would make this list.
    • Llanowar, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6It will make the next 100 lists or something too.
  • Sornos, on 07/23/2008, -2/+4You know what game's absence caused the most disappointment? You don't. There were hardly any new, unheard of games shown or even hinted at E3. All are either sequels or follow-ups on already announced games. Hardly anything new and intriguing.
    • Murdats, on 07/23/2008, -3/+1dead space, spore, left 4 dead and those are just the ones off the top of my head and ignoring consoles.
    • shinythingy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Dude, Wii Music. Bringing the hardcore back to Nintendo
      • ericrous, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1It's not hardcore if I can't play it on my WiiFit board, poseur!
  • smashfest, on 07/23/2008, -3/+11"3D Realms' Scott Miller said at the end of June that the game, although 'coming along' (of course), would not be at E3. Why? Because E3 has become so unimportant that Miller just forgot it existed. 'It's just that we view E3 as irrelevant nowadays. In fact, I wasn't even aware it was coming up,' he said."


    lol
    • Eanix, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1That's code for "we're still nowhere near completion!"
  • alkajazz, on 07/23/2008, -4/+3What about the new Splinter Cell game?
  • Crazymaniacc, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4Mad World for the Wii looked awesome, if Nintendo showed that at their conference, it wouldn't have sucked that much.
  • xsquirrel378x, on 07/23/2008, -2/+2I am still really excited for Tekken 6 on PS3. I'm sick of people saying how Tekken is dead blah blah blah
    • Number23, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Same here Tekken has been a fantastic series and Tekken 5 is one of the best looking PS2 game. I can’t wait for Tekken 6
  • 007isbond1, on 07/23/2008, -5/+1whats this.. E3-4D? electronics entertainment expo for diggers?
  • AceAMasta, on 07/23/2008, -3/+4"After the original Xbox title first earned critical acclaim in 2003"

    It was also out for PS2, GC, and PC...
  • Vich, on 07/23/2008, -2/+4Dugg for Beyond Good and Evil 2
  • elmafudd911, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1Ah *****. I just lost the game.
  • jimbruno, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0Anything from Gas Powered Games
  • Bozmanbeyond, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Yes it was a bummer of an E3 so little titles and most of them we already knew about from the past 3 E3s ago. I realize now not to count on a games that's say their coming out in the next year, It usually means the next, next year.
  • iamnobody8614, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3Another Halo? Really?
  • HumanRecalled, on 07/23/2008, -1/+1Duke Nukem "Foerver coming" for ever ever ..! F

    For ever ever ??
  • exomni, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1What the hell? That thumbnail picture looks EXACTLY the same as my friend's basement, even down to the saw on the left and the pile of wood on the right.

    Which is even weirder considering they designed and built their house themselves..
  • smashingmonkey, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2How about Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Dead Rising 2, Jade Empire 2? Where are my 2s at??
  • Caleb83, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1"it's said to have entered development in 1997, a whole 'nother console generation ago"
    Aside from "whole nother" being bad english, it was actually 2 console generations ago.

    "the facts seem to point to a resource-limited LucasArts preferring to focus on Star Wars right now."

    LAME! Bring on Indiana jones, I'm tired of Star wars games. In fact, I'll boycott them just to spite ol' Georgie-boy
