| BengaBenga said: Sony only won if you're a fan of shooters. LBP was not amazing. No new RPG's shown (Folklore is out and bombed in Japan). GT5 was only CG. Killzone 2 looked great and MGS did as well, but I had the feeling Sony only wanted to beat Microsoft in a "maturity" contest instead of showing why all 360 (and Wii60) owners are wrong. Cause even though MS had a bad show, the games were there and people will buy Halo either way, no matter how good Killzone looks, they played Rockband live (was bad but entertaining), showed Blue Dragon. Unreal is a PC game and people won't run to the store to buy a PS3 to play NBA08. Put in the horrible peresentation skills and the best sentence of the show: "That's enough Motorstorm for a day" after 30 seconds playing it and it is clear that Sony had only 2 outstanding games to show, which may have won them the show, but I don't think they demolished MS which they could and should have. I'm not even talking bout Wii, since they showed two instant multi-million sellers (Fit, MK). |
Folklore may have bombed in Japan but at least it was not a highly anticipated game- that ended up as a flop there **cough** blue dragon,eternal sonata **cough**. As for GT5... being CG or not, it really won't matter. If people (like you said) going are to buy Halo regardless of how the competition looks then the same people will buy GT, as GT has a bigger following than Halo and it also completely destroys it in sales. Unreal may be a "built-for-PC" game, but the chances of more people having the System to be able to run it better or as well as the PS3 version opposed to the install base of the PS3 is dim, especially since the PS3 version is supporting KB&M, User created mods and free online gameplay (same as the PC). Think about that.... Call of Juarez, Halo, Prey, Shadowrun and Call of Duty. All have BETTER graphics than the Xbox360 counterpart, but why did all those FPS games sell BETTER on the 360 than the PC??? b/c the console version is more affordable and the value and the price difference is not worth it to the average consumer. Fans wanted a cheaper PS3 and sleeker PSP, sony delivered. Fans wanted to see more big name exclusive games, sony delivered. Fans wanted more variety in games, sony delivered. Fans wanted to see sony try to get better 3rd party graphics and programming, Sony delivered. Fans wanted to see some new IPs, and sony delivered. and finally fans wanted to see what Killzone2 looked liked, sony delivered. I believe the only think sony coulda done better on their part was show a rumble six axis, but we all know thats coming in a matter of time. IMO, sony won this one with a clean sweep.
