E for All increasingly seemed like a joke. Microsoft and Sony, in addition to a number of other high-profile third party publishers have
opted out of attending this new consumer game show. However, Konami will be attending the show and one of the games they have scheduled to appear is
Metal Gear Solid 4. How it will be shown is still unclear. It could be on video, or it could be playable. If a playable
MGS4 is present at the games show, it might almost be worth attending the show. Almost.
[
Update: A playable demo will be offered. It will be based off the TGS demo. With
Smash Bros. and
MGS4 both playable at the show, it seems like E For All has finally pulled off a decent showing.]

Are you serious. Not to sound rude but I doubt there will be any worthwile news coming their regarding PS3.
drizzlelicious @ Oct 8th 2007 10:43PM
you scared me for a second there. I thought this story was about MGS4 being rated E
Geoff Gibson @ Oct 8th 2007 10:32PM
I'll be there. . .
Any gaming convention is bound to be fun, and even E for All, despite its low attendence is still shaping up to be a good few days, especially for a fledgling convention.
Hopefully next year a few more come too, but I'd say with Nintendo, EA, Konami, and THQ as the makes publishers being there more than makes up for it for a new convention.

Erm main not makes. . . sorry for the typo.

Didn't Ryan Paytton say they weren't going to show any new trailers. They'll probably just have demo units, maybe English ones though...

Ecstasy for all? I'm down...
religiousjedi @ Oct 9th 2007 2:09AM
Ooo...Nintendo being there could possibly mean a demo for Brawl.
Konami confirming MGS4 at the show, hopefully as a demo...
Yup. I'm glad I'm going.
Brian Spence @ Oct 9th 2007 10:53AM
Lol, I also thought it meant that MGS4 was rated E.
Who didn't think that E for All was a stupid idea? If you're the leading electronics convention, hell, one of the leading conventions period, you don't scale back like this!! We all watched them commit suicide.

LMAO I had to read it twice because I seriously thought that was the heading LoL oh well I need to stop drinking LOL
Popfrogs @ Oct 9th 2007 10:42AM
Wow, there are a whopping 2 titles to be shown at E for All.
I really hope they can make this more than another ubernerd gathering like Comicon.
Neil @ Oct 9th 2007 4:15PM
I too had to read it twice to make sure that MGS4 was really rated E....lol
Tim Dunlap @ Oct 9th 2007 7:43PM
Nintendo has already announced that Brawl and Mario Galaxy will be playable. So while PS3 pickins are small besides MGS4, Wii pickins are great. There's even going to be Brawl tournaments all day. I'm excited, though I can't attend.

How long are they going to drip-feed this one game? What would be best is a downloadable demo, a-la Gran Turismo HD concept. Even better, one featuring online play. This would give people, as that did, a taste of things to come that you just can't find anywhere else.
