Some other no shows…

XCOM which is being retooled again. Thief IV which was announced in 2009 so who knows how they have been working on it. Where is the next Rainbow 6 game? There were no sign of Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 but Bearbox was busy showing off Borderlands 2 and Colonial Marines.

Yeah, the original Ultima series, Wing Commander… I vaguely recall others, but right now I can’t drum them up mentally. Ultima is the one I never stopped loving, at least 4-7. The closest anything comes to it nowadays is the Elder Scrolls series.

I think Apple would have a lot to contribute in principle, even sans games. All they’d need to do is talk about their upcoming iPad/iPhone hardware and they’d be as relevant as, say… SmartGlass talk.

But yeah, I completely understand why they wouldn’t bother showing up. They’ve got other venues and it’s not like they ever hurt for attention. Instead you can just watch their influence. (Again, to be fair, there’s an Android aspect to all of this too.)

Ultima X would be amazing – I’d also go for any number of Origin game reboots. It’s too bad that Syndicate lost its way when it decided to go on a guided tour, rather than a capture objective / mission based game.

Perhaps EA should be rooting through their archives for inspiration – they have a fantastic hold on some classic IP.

As for my take on Apple being at E3? They have no games to show and I’m not sure that they’d have much to contribute, honestly.

With WWDC around the corner, literally, I imagine anything they have to say w. regards to gaming can wait a week.
