Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Pachter: Nintendo won E3 2007

However, MP3 does play more like a FPS than previous Metroid games. The actual genre is more along the lines of First Person Adventure. Once I heard Bioshock could be considered the next Metroid game, I was a bit intrigued.

@ euclid

I agree the 360's most interesting exclusive games list is dominated by FPSs.

Although with (time/semi) exclusive games Unreal Tournament 3, Haze and Killzone 3 the PS3 has a strong FPS line-up as well, IMO most of the shown interesting PS3 exclusives are actually not FPS games (Home service is also interesting).

Lair, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Warhawk, Gran Turismo 5 prologue, Rachet and Clank Future, Metal Gear Solid 4, Singstar, Eye of Judgement, Folkslore, etc.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

I agree with DonWii...who "won" E3 is subjective...personally,it went Sony>Nintendo>MS.



Pulling a Blue3 eh Gballzhack? Aren't you making it obvious with the avatar and the doing it right after you were banned?

I believe that it's a matter of oppinion quite clearly. I did like Nintendo's presentation the most because Sony's was painful to watch. Sony did have the better game demonstrations that catered to the audience that it had much better than Nintendo did.



While he does tend to make bad predictions sometimes, he's got a good point regarding the show overall.

He's right that most people did not enjoy the show as much because of the size and that it lost a lot of its glamour with the new format. He's also right that there wasn't that much revealed at all and "there really wasn't a loser"

I like people who bash Pachter when what he says doesn't suit him but praise him when it does.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Pachter made stupid predictions in the past. I agree with ckmlb, we can't change our stance on him just because he changed his opinion. He remains anaccurate.

 

Damn, Gballzack was permabanned..and did the blue3 thingy very obvious. I thought she would be more subtle. No hentai avatars for a while then. Take care friend!

Frankly, I think he says stuff like "Nintendo won E3," when most video game journalists believe that Sony won, and "the PS3 will win this generation," when that isn't close to happening right now, just because it stirs discussion and grabs a bunch of attention for him.

Would we have posted this if he said: "Sony wins! I agree with most other game journalists!" No, we wouldn't have, which is why he didn't say that.  


 Most mainstream Journos think Ninty won

Right, but gaming journalists generally do not, and Pachter is much more one of them than he is mainstream (he's technically not a journalist at all, but if we have to put him in one category or another...). 

Again, would we be talking about this if Pachter had said that Sony had won? Probably not. He wants attention, and he got it.
