E3 09: GR's Absurd Photo Diary

Want to see the madness we're seeing? Check here often!

Words: GamesRadar US


This would be FINAL FANTASY XIV! ...Online. Exclusive to the PS3 in 2010.


Assassin's Creed 2 flying contraption in action at the Sony Conference!


Brett arrives just in time for the Sony conference; shields his eyes from the power of the Giant Red Screen.


Chris Antista (GR), Scott Butterworth (PTOM), and Joe McNeilly (GR) enjoying mimosas pre-Sony. The games press life is a hard one!


GR's Brett Elston takes the stage with OXM's Paul Curthoys to jam out "Back in the USSR" atop an LA high rise.


Jay and Em at the DJ Hero/Guitar Hero party!


A custom ODST controller will ship with the game. We snagged this sample version after playing the game's Firefight (aka Horde) mode.


Moments before the Microsoft press conference began, a study in green.


A whole gaggle of Jedi and Sith walked out, each brandishing glowy lightsabers, to promote Old Republic's seriously badass trailer.


You Tweeted, we responded - E3 toilets!

Is it true that Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were at E3, saying how much they loved the game. Sometimes I think these celebrity's have a Rock Band exec. at their back with a handgun and a Guitar Hero project manager hanging by a rope from the lighting with a sniper primed at his head. it's quite sad really. People actually think that because they can do Guitar Hero/Rock Band they can just pick up a guitar or a pair of sticks and start jamming. The music isn't even co-ordinated to the track.

Sometimes epicness is just everywhere. (Including the urinals)

Paul and Ringo's appearance was unbelievably weird. Seemed like they had no idea what to say, just sort of mumbled. Star power (pun not so intended) isn't everything.
But as for the article itself, do you reckon Final Fantasy XV will go back to multi-platform?
I'm getting way ahead of myself. And the industry.

Aw, no pictures of Paul and Ringo?

Shame that there weren't any vampires in this bathroom.

No Nintendo press conference pictures?

I have a feeling that Chris was the one that yelled out "woo"! during one of the shovelware games that Nintendo was showcasing (Seriously Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Golden Sun 3, Metroid: Other M, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 3, and Mario and Luigi RPG 3!!! and they still showed shovelware? What's with that?)

Final Fantasy XIV is another mmo like XI. Mark that off my list.

NO SHITTING DRACULA?

The shitting dracula may make an appearance, there is still more E3 to go!

@oryandymackie Stop being an elitist prick, if your going to complain about something maybe you should actually learn about it first.

We need pictures of the whole GR E3 team! GROUP HUG!

I was excited for FF XIV . . . then they said it was going to be online. Sigh, save that crap for the non-roman nurmal FF's.

i hope there isn't a bunch of short people there, cause they probably have to hold it in for a while.

dear oryandy
"People actually think that because they can do Guitar Hero/Rock Band they can just pick up a guitar or a pair of sticks and start jamming."
Are you kidding?
Who thinks that?
No one.
Thats who.
I am pretty sure people arent that stupid.
The only thing dumber then thinking guitar hero is the same as playing real guitar is thinking people think that.

@NipplesTheSuperHippo Lol I had a similar reaction to the FFXIV trailer. I was like oh sweet, Final Fantasy, who can't pick out one of their pre-rendered trailers, and at the end when it blended in online under the title I laughed.

As for the pics, I think the SW: The Old Republic was the best trailer ever and talk about nerdgasm with the presentation before hand lol! Just when they started to play Star Wars music I got goosebumps.

im curious to see how the flying thing will work in Assassins Creed II. if anything this is what could possibly break the game.

more, more.
