E For All: the view from the floor

{ Oct 19th 2007 at 11:47AM }
Since we were running from appointment to appointment, we didn't have much time to shoot video, although be sure and check out our 200+ image (and growing) E For All gallery for your edutainment.
What video we did manage to shoot and cram into iMovie and then upload hastily to Viddler is here, also for your edutainment. As you can see, Rock Band and Guitar Hero III were popular stops, and Namco's Pac-Man heads were a hot commodity. There's a bit of Super Smash Bros. Brawl tossed in, although a Nintendo-bot came over and told us that we couldn't film the gameplay footage since, "The game isn't out yet." Strange, but we sort of thought that was the idea behind showing it off at E For All. Anyhow, she let us keep what we filmed, and then went off after another amateur cameraman.
We'll be bringing you more from the floor today and through the weekend, including more impressions of MGS4, some interviews, and more hands-on than you can shake a Wiimote at. If there's something you've heard about at the show that you want captured on video or with some photos, let us know ... just please don't make us document the selection in the food court. We beg of you.

If I was there, I would've never let go of a controller for Smash Bros.

oh thank god, the damage meters are smaller in smash this time
shivr @ Oct 20th 2007 3:45AM
my memory is telling me that I read somewhere that you can now control the opacity of the damage meters in brawl too somewhere in the settings... this may be totally made up though
oh yah, just outta curiosity, whats the TIDF?

The people playing rockband looked terribly bored.. maybe they didnt have their morning coffee?
NATO_Duke @ Oct 19th 2007 12:05PM
They didn't really sell the rock feeling did they?

The kid playing the drums reminded me of you, you sure that aint you?
NATO_Duke @ Oct 19th 2007 12:52PM

That dude in the Pac-man hat was rocking out so hard.
FOXHOUND @ Oct 19th 2007 12:13PM
LoL ... with a pac-man hat like that on, did he need any more attention?
Like that car commercial with people shouting out their insecurities... "Because daddy didn't like me!"

Hey that guy from Valve is playing drums on Rock Band!!!
Mighty Shockwave @ Oct 19th 2007 12:12PM
Whoa! Fatties playing Rock Band = Super Nerd. Seriously, couldn't the demonstrators have been a little less ugly?
Luke @ Oct 19th 2007 12:15PM
Uh, those aren't "demonstrators," those are attendees that paid to get in (or press who got it for free). What would be the point to just seeing good looking people playing the games, that's what the ads are for. ;)

You have to be honest,they know their public.
Tacoman @ Oct 19th 2007 5:20PM
Huh. I always wondered what a whale playing a drum set would look like.
Seriously dude, put down the Oreos and no one gets hurt.

Civilization well I'm not sure if I just watched the DS version but It looked good for the rest it looked meh.

ThornedVenom @ Oct 20th 2007 1:51AM
I'd rather have them playing our games than us playing their games. ;P
shivr @ Oct 20th 2007 3:37AM

samfish (MSDF- Nurse Outfit!) @ Oct 19th 2007 7:25PM
Dear God - if I ever get as fat as some of those people, somebody please kill me.
...y'know...assuming my cholesterol level doesn't do me in first.
shivr @ Oct 20th 2007 3:36AM
looks like somebody needs to 'wii fit' lol
Mr Khan @ Oct 19th 2007 7:47PM
Seems like nerd heaven
why the fuck do they keep putting these on the West Coast? Put it in Philadelphia and you get easy driving distance for everyone from New York down to Washington
