It was decent. No megaton like last year, but still far better. Halo reach and LFD2 was pretty awesome, natal not so much...


No megaton? Metal gear Solid Franchise going to 360 i would say was pretty big. That marks the end of a fully exclusive Sony deal which marks the end of pretty much all of Sony's old guard exclusive 3rd party franchises. Meaning if they announce MGS5 for PS3 there is a lot higher chance it will also be for 360 then MGS4. The fact Kojima walked onto a Microsoft conference set is a megaton.

Announcing a multiplatform game from the start isn't a megaton. It's a big announcement nonetheless.

 


Again i don't think you quite grasp the point of what i was saying. MGS2 as mentioned above was on xbox.

But that was then and this is now. The landscape is very different. Sony has one 3rd party franchise remaining exclusive before today. If someone said before the show started that Kojima would walk onto the Microsoft conference stage and say "The Metal gear Franchise is coming to 360", people would laugh. If you then said Kojima would then go on to say "the next metal gear, Metal gear Rising will be on 360" then they would think your insane.

The megaton is that the Metal gear Solid Franchise has now gone multi-platform. That is like the guy who makes Halo walking onto the Sony conference saying Halo ODT will be on PS3. That will not happen. But the point is now that all those old franchises Sony had have all gone multi-platform.

No. First of all, Versus XIII is still a big exclusive game (it'll go multi someday, but I'm saying that there are still big exclusives left).

Second, PS3 owners have lost nothing. Halo ODST would be a megaton, yes, because the 360 would lose a big exclusve. Rising has never been announced as a PS3 exclusive. Last year's announcement was also big, because NO ONE expected it. Quite some people expected MGS to go multi (I expected MGS 4 to be announced for the 360 as well).

MS' confere was good, they did what they had to. Announce new games, show new things of upcoming games, ... but nothing huge happened.
