This is the second in my continuing series of Morning Hangover's that look backward at the E3 that just happened last week. Our topic today: What was missing from E3 2010? Obviously we spent the week bringing you a metric crap-ton of info and looks at what was at the Electronic Entertainment Expo -- some of which is still trickling into our site -- so we didn't focus on what we didn't see.
Off the top of my head, here are a couple glaring absences:
- Rockstar Games: The makers of the most talked about game right now (Red Dead Redemption) had no official presence at the show as far as I know -- not that they really need it or anything, but I wouldn't have minded a GTA 5 announcement...
- Kinect Price-Point: We saw a bunch of Kinect games, learned the release date, and otherwise checked the thing out, but there was no mention of a price... Microsoft's site is listing it for $150, so it makes sense that they wanted to sort of slide that information out when no one is looking as opposed to trumpeting it.
- Kentia Hall: The hall itself is still there, but it's empty of the third-rate peripherals and weird, hopeless game companies that used to fill it up. I miss Kentia Hall!
What else was absent from the show?

I was kind of hoping for Dig Dug 3, or maybe Bump 'N Jump 2. A 3DS price range and release date would have been nice too.

Thankfully, the Wii Vitality Sensor was absent from the show. Who even cares about something that measures your pulse in a videogame? Completely pointless.

Anything on the Wii Vitality Sensor would of been nice. Unless Nintendo completely scrapped the whole thing.

Onimusha next gen game

I was actually REALLY hoping to see some FF13 Versus. Once the Kingdom Hearts team is done with that hopefully they can finally do KH3 for PS3. And where was The Last Guardian. No new trailer? No Pikman. And once again, no Megaman at all.
Valentinog
Legend of Dragoon 2!!!
Mrfurrytoes
Nintendo should have had a new Star Fox game
digitaldigdug
No pikmin 3 release date. Cmon Nintendo, we've been waiting for it!
ThePsychoGamer
Kinda wish we heard something about Persona 5
but the game I really wanted to see that wasn't there was a new Banjo Kazooie platformer
bolo73
I was hoping for a mechwarrior reboot, or a wing commander surprise.
Wert_Ac
Pikmin 3

I was definitely hoping we'd get some sort of Insomniac news, whether it be Resistance 3 or their new IP.
Zathrix
need you ask?
TES V... duh
BONERJAM
The Last Guardian
Resistance 3
Anything from R*
I Am Alive
Anything Half-Life
BigPoppaChunk
psp2 or a add on mini usb analog stick for the psp, with a patch from the existing game developers to allow custom controls so we can map the second analog stick.
if nintendo can make a guitar hero controller fit a gameboy advanced cartridge port, this could happen!
plus sony has the TECH to do this , just look at the usb camera add on for the psp they swowed off at e3.
The Emperor's Champion
Resistance 3
PSP2
Last Guardian
that zombie apocalypse MMO
that Megaman MMO....thing
Half Life 2: Episode 3
Diablo 3
Games that are always missing:
-Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura 2
-Megaman X9
-Megaman Legends 3
-Super Mario RPG 2
-Final Fantasy Tactics 2 (None of that "Advanced" junk. I mean a real sequel sans stupid rabbit people and other retarded anime stuff, and with a real plot. Same world, same art style, none of the androgynous weirdo characters that they have a habit of ruining games with.)
-an Age Of Empires reboot (great game, but hasn't aged well)
Notafanboythatiknow
I don't know...a PSP Phone, a Wii in HD? The software was all right overall. I would like to have seen more DLC for The Beatles Rock Band.
Ohface
Some sort of Half-Life news.
Tmidiman
I was hoping for info on This Is Vegas, Ride To Hell, and LA Noir. Also any info on Darksiders 2 and the next chapter of Dante's Inferno.
