Sony won. They used LBP to demonstrate sales numbers, at the same time. I think that was a neat idea. The Leviathan boss its okay, but its meh... The concept of MAG is ( lame name btw ) awesome, 256 players is just crazy, a year ago i was thinking 32 players and 40 players ( warhawk and resistance respectively ) was amazing. Only on the PS3. New video store that launches TONIGHT is good, i'll be for my debit cards soon. That's much better than having to wait for 360's Netflix deal this fall ( BTW you have to be a gold live member AND a Netflix subscription, and its STREAMED movies. wtf )
Even though the simpletons are blabbing dribble about FFXIII, consider this, when the japanese playstation 3 version is done ( who knows when ) thats when they will begin porting for the 360, at the same time that they would be translating the game ( when? ) Also expect more than one inferior dvd to be juggled around by xbots ( Lost Odyssey = three dics, no? ) Although it is the biggest BURN.

Ps sony wins

 

  • Before you spout off like this you should be aware of what the competition already has. The marketplace had Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos, etc... way before this Netflix deal. It will only strengthen the movie selection on Live. As well as the NBC Universal Deal. They now have all the Major networks on board (Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, CW, etc...). The movies there now are very current and Netflix should provide a great back catalog.

  • MAG is nothing special seeing as a game of that nature was announced for the 360 back at E3 05' (same time as Killzone 2) and it looks like Gears. Probably since it is running on the Unreal Engine.

  • We will only need one game disc since we will have the power to run the entire game off of the HDD.

P.S. You FAIL!!!



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

IMO, everybody lost e3. Seriously, it's got to be the most disappointing bunch of press conferences ever done. EA is the winner by default.

No one won E3.  Microsoft just sucked a little less.

@BengaBenga. They may own halo, but that doesn't mean MC couldn't pop up in another game, or that Bungie couldn't start a new franchise based in the Halo universe. Believe me if this deal goes down it's a possible and knowing EA probable

Again i find it funny people think Sony deserve it for showing a 20sec CGI clip of a tower, and a 10min CGI clip of people running and shooting guns. 2 games that are apparently 2 years minimum away. In 2 years i can bet you Nintendo and Microsoft AND Sony will announce loads of new games. But does 2 movies that show nothing of either game that are at least 2 years away deserve to be given the best conference tag?

Or does games that are shown live with a real person playing it live deserve it?

I'm sorry but quite frankly i find people bigging up the Sony conference what is wrong with the industry. The people who settle for shit games and hype up anything at all simply because it is exclusive. The wierd thing is it is only the Sony fans who are like that. You don't see the Nintendo or Microsoft fans bigging up each and every exclusive thing on their formats like it is the 2nd coming of Mario Bros or something. Like take INfamous for example. The game looks nice, but we all know it is a direct rip off of Crackdown. Take ProDriver for 360, the last in the series got 9/10 reviews (GTR2) but you don't hear the 360 fans proclaiming it to be another GT beater even though it got higher reviews etc...Games such as Alan Wake and Huxley are getting critical acclaim and generating huge interest and they wern't even shown...That is how poor this E3 has been.

GOW3 and MAG right now are just concepts that are years away. If all the companies came out and announced their concepts everyone would be like WOW. But they don't, Sony have just shown 2 concepts for the future. And now the cycle of hype begins once more from the Sony fans.

From a gamer perspective i got to see real games being played in real time on both the Nintendo and Microsoft shows, that is what E3 is about. Games that are incoming. Hell if things were going to be like that Microsoft could of said we got Halo 4 coming out and Nintendo could of said we got Mario Universe coming out. That would of generated loads more interest then those 2 games. The thing that makes them the same is none of them have started development. So no Sony did not win E3. They all lost.

That is ironic since a buddy of mine and both thought that Infamous looked like a complete rip-off of Crackdown. But all in all this E3 was a big disappointment.

Infamous looked kind of neat I'll give ya that. But tell me what would I personally find awesome about the conferences if I don't like 1st person or 3rd person shooter games.

Who won is always a preferance.  Did I think Nintendo won, no.  I was bored, though Animal crossings looked neat.  But still E3 was a boring as last year.
