Also, I only see one or two people claiming PS3 > 360 at this E3. There is STAGE and....that's it in this thread. It's fine to have your own preference, Wii, 360, and PS3 all failed to announce too many good new games. Just don't say one is better then the other because of all the games to competition offers, are not your type. The Wii games I am interested in weren't talked about at this E3, and Sony really only showed Uncharted 3 for PS3, but I don't go rubbing around the IMO superrior 360 upcoming lineup.

REALLY?

When do I? When i made a thread for PS3/Wii/360 Thoughts on E3, and outlined upcoming games. I included everything from Medevil Moves, to Twisted Metal, to Fortune Street, to Uncharted 3, to Gears 3 to Forza 4. I may not be interested in a lot of games, on all consoles, but I don't let that get in the way of arguements. I say things like they are, and for those threads I asked people to make sure I didn't miss any games. I did, games like Ruin, or Dungeons Crown I did not know were also coming to PS3 as well as Vita. I added them in.

I have my opinions for games like Twisted Metal (big fan of the franchise, own every title except Head-On), but I leave them as opinions. Only include opinions when people want to count something like God of War Collection as AAA, which is insane to me.

BTW That link, and you, have two completely different deffinitions for casual games. According to the Casual Games Association

"Developed for the general public and families, casual games are video games that are fun and easy to learn and play.

I really, REALLY doubt Ryse is being developed for the general public or families. Since when ever are M rated games casual? Same goes for Fable, it is a core franchise for 360, using a Kinect controller, versus a conventional controller, makes no difference.

Stop with this now, your own link contradicts you. Ryse and Fable are core, doesn't matter if YOU are interested in them or not. I'm not interested in Sly or Starhawk, but do I exclude them as core titles? Sly Cooper actually fits that definition much better then Ryse since it's an E rated game, developed for a more general audience.

If you really think that Fable Kinect is going to play anything like the Fable series proper then i got some ocean front property to sell you. The man said himself that most of the time will be spent on a horse. I never played a Fable game like that. Casual or not, does not matter, but to say that it will be a Fable game like the others only using Kinect is just ignorance. 

I'm not a fan of Fable, so I'm going to rip on it. The games battle system is basically 3 buttons X - Sword Attack, Y - Gun, B - Magic. A is used to jump, and I believe there is a button for block. There are almost no combos in attacking, and dodging is done by moving the joystick. This is one of the most simple 360 exclusives you could possibly play. Trust me when I say this, you can get almost the same experience with a Kinect controller. It might lack a bit since it won't have a social wheel, but then again Kinect reads speech. It won't be the same, but I wouldn't classify this as a casual game any more then a traditional Fable.

I mean, if they made a Conker's Bad Fur Day 2 Kinect, would you classify that as casual? Not with the adult humor it shares with Fable.

Control-wise, Fable: The Journey probably won't be as good as Fable 1-3, but the experience will not differ drastically. If this were Halo FPS, that would be a different story, but Fable has always been a simple franchise, it works with Kinect.


you must have been playing a different Fable game than i played, if you think that the experiences of the Fable series can be translated to to Kinect without losing anything then you either are clearly overestimating the power of Kinect and Peter Molyneux  or you are high on LSD. The man himself already stated that it would NOT be the same experience, its coming straight from the horse's mouth. I dont know why you keep harping on this casual thing, ididnt even make on stance on the subject either way. But screw, no, it wont be casual, you happy? ill say this, it will probably suck and it has nothing to do with the Kinect, at least not mostly

All I wanted to say is it's a core game. That's what STAGE and I have been arguing about, when you came in.

What specifically about Fable Kinect will make the game less appealing to a Fable fan? Obviously it won't be the same experience, but why will it be worse then any other Fable? Instead of a social wheel you tell it commands (wasn't Milo responsive to hundreds of commands?). Instead of A to jump, you jump, instead of an analog stick, you lean, instead of XYB, you have three different hand gestures. Heck, since Kinect recognizes hand gestures why not remove the whole magic submenu and make every magic spell a different command. Fable isn't a fast paced FPS or racing game, why would a different controller hinder the experience? Can't it just be different?

Also Peter Molyneux overhypes every game he makes. Why would he flat out say this game will suck? I've heard interviews, he is just as exceited for this project as he has been for any other.

Are you kidding? all that stuff you said sounds cool, but it will NOT be in this Fable Kinect game. Pete didnt mention any of those features, so im just gonna assume they will not be in the final game, at least for now. How the hell do you expect to move in a 3d world with just Kinect?? I havent seen a game do it yet. Im not saying it wont appeal to Fable fans, dont know where your getting that, hell the on rail REs appeal to RE fans, thats the point of those games. Cash in on the name of a popular franchise. FYI, did you read the part where he said that most of the game will be on a horse??

You do know Fable Kinect has movement? One big think Lionhead Studios was ripped on about was that people thought Fable: The Journey was "on rails." However it isn't it has free world exploring. Most likely not as expansive as Fable 1-3, but you can move around. Remember the Ghost Recon Kinect demo? Remember for a breif moment he played that game using only the Kinect controller? He moved forward by stepping forward, and shot by sticking up all his fingers.

What is RE? Fable: The Journey is not on rails. Peter Monyloux explained tha, and he said he should have showed other footage in the game then just that. From what i hear from Peter Monyloux, what I explained is what he wants, but knowing him, we won't get it until Fable: The Second Journey.

I read how most of the game you will ride a horse. Is that suppose to be bad? You ride a horse all the time in Ocarina of Time in Hyrule.

I'm not trying to argue Fable: TJ will be as good as Fable 1-3, but only that it won't be bad. I'm not ready to write off the game until it's closer to release.


where going to have to agree to disagree, because i have little faith in the game. For the sake of Fable fans and Kinect enthusiasts everywhere i hope im wrong. RE is Resident Evil. And are you serious???OOT you dont have the use the horse if you dont want and most of that game is spent in dungeons where there are no horses to be used, did you even play that game?

We could make a general list and Sony would still have a stronger army of titles from start to finish.

In your opinion, which is worthless to the rest of us.

Try it if you wish. It has nothing to do with my standards.

Yes it does...

I've had this argument with Michael before showing him how even adding Move titles to Sony's arsenal could make arguing about the consoles titles even less in anyones favor who argues towards Microsoft. Yes, its preference, but lets be real here, look at the strength of the library as a whole.

Once again, your opinion and completely worthless.

To be truthful I'd rather keep casual titles out of the argument because those arent the true games which give a console lasting value.

LMAO, Now I know you are full of crap. If casual titles didn't sell consoles, then why is the Wii doing so well? Why is Move and Kinect selling like mad?

When most of us on this site talk about games which will grab gamers attention, AAA exclusives are usually the titles we focus on. I've become accustomed to it, hence why we tend to ignore the casual by default, because on gamer sites like this, you can call 99% of us core gamers. E3 was mainly viewed by core gamers, which is why Microsofts showing was considered the most underwhelming. If it was viewed mostly by the general public who could only give a care about gaming in passing then Microsofts show would be an A+. Secondly, as i've said before in other posts, for Microsoft to assume there is a core market (for Kinect) is quite risky as the kinect has only been around a year and only garnered true value around one franchise (which shows you truthfully where your market is stemming from).

Yet it continues to sell well. MS made a smart move with Kinect. And putting more support behind it will only serve to boost the sales numbers of both Kinect units, and 360s.

Core gamers tend to waver to titles with stable or complex control schemes. Casual titles gather people who dont really game and give them momentary pleasure, whilst the core titles can have lasting effects and change the core gamers impression of system A, B or C via their exclusives.

Yet, core gamers make up a small percentage of todays gamers, this may have been true in the past, but this is 2011, grandma is gaming with her grandchildren now.

Casual titles are a passing glance if any. It's like going to universal studios. Oh yes....I forgot....you can now go to the Disney theme park with kinect on a rail. If you view AAA titles and casual titles as equal...then as erroneous as I believe that is, it's still your opinion and I cannot change that.

Once again, you are living in 2003, the demographics have changed drastically with core gamers making up a much smaller percentage of total gamers. Your whole argument is utterly useless now.




Stop wasting your time if arguing me with me completely worthless. Obviously it isn't by your actions. Secondly, I know that core gamers make up a small percentage of gamers. However, it has been proven that core gamers are the main set of gamers who have the most expendable income (or will) to give towards gaming. They are basically the supplort beam of gaming once the casuals come in and come out in large quantitites. Their interest only lasts in passing. Third of all, I know casual titles sell consoles, they just aren't AAA. They are low budget titles which rake in hand over fist. Ryse is probably going to be the most expensive mistake to ever grace the Kinect. Kinect is barely helping Microsoft hold onto their lead, because the core games definitely arent.

Wait....what AAA titles does Sony have coming out? The only high profile game announced at E3 this year was Halo 4, did I miss something big?

If you only debated core AAA games, then MS psns Sony. Forza 4, Gears 3, The Witcher 2, and Halo 4 next year, and Sony has Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 and The Last Guardian next year. However, like I always say, 1 or two game difference, who gives a hoothoot.

Thing is you debate "core" games, but then ignore "core" games that you're not interested in. Fable: The Journey, and Ryse being key ones. Also casual or not, Just Dance 2 is a fun ass game, and definatly should count in any silly comparisions. You complain about 360 not having enough variety, and then you dismiss the variety given, make up your mind.


Here you go again listing only Q4 of the year instead of the year as a whole. Our argument is Microsoft and Sonys year as a whole. Microsoft PWNed nothing. I have too many friends who had to sit and watch (and still are) me play my PS3 because their 360 has no exclusives. Then we all go and play third party games and talk about it. Ok...you want to add Halo four to the list ? A game coming next year? This makes the argument sadder and easier. Make a list right now of the top 360 exclusives between this year and next year and I will open up some hurt by listing the 2011-2012 Sony list. This is where I love Sony's theory on having stronger first party is correct. I cannot wait for the list. Since you like creating lists show me this years exclusives and next years. You have a very contradictory style now talking about AAA exclusives and then agreeing with the other guys that casual titles should be added to the list.  Either way....its still a loss.

The thread title is about E3, "Explain to me how PS3 and Wii had better E3 than 360."

Why would I talk about games already released. I have, since E3, only been talking about E3 press shows and upcoming games.

If we talk about past 2011 games, why stop there? I already said Sony will have a better 2011 overall, what more do you want? I even showed you pre-2011, 360 had significantly more exclusives. I thought we were done with that, what else do you need to clarify?

2011 as a whole PS3 > 360, Upcoming games 360 > PS3, 2009 and prior 360 >PS3, and even though in 2010 360 had more exclusives then PS3, I'll say 2010 360 = PS3.

Exclusives between this E3 and next for 360: Halo: CEA, Forza 4, The Witcher 2, and Gears of War 3 I'll get. Then there is Rise of Nightmares, Dance Central 2, and Steel Batallion. PS3: Uncharted 3 is the only exclusive I plan to get, but there is also Resistance 3, Dust 514, and Twisted Metal......360 Still wins buddy, now stop changing the arguement, stop excluding good games because you're not interested in them, and stop with this bull. Dunno what you're trying to prove, PS3 is still an awesome system, 360 just had a better E3 then the PS3 portion of Sony's Press Conference.

I'll agree that with the addition of the WItcher the 360's last quarter has become a hell of alot stronger. I just might pick that up. Twisted Metal is  is going to be massive and Uncharted 3 is going to be groundbreaking. Gears 3 is doing nothing new, same old crap (but truthfully I still love the mindless gore of the multiplayer). Microsoft pulled a smart move getting Projekt CD to get them the Witcher 2. Halo: CEA is not AAA though, it's just a revamp and I doubt it will get very much play compared to Reach. True fans of Halo will buy that. I put this in the same basket as ICO and Shadow of the Colossus collection and the second GOW collection. Theres also Rachet and Clank: All for one, Sorcery, No More Heroes: Fall of Paridise, White Knight Chronicles 2 (Which I am hearing is very, very good compared to the first),Bleach, Ape Escape. The entire year as been a blowout. As for E3 Microsoft had an amazing E3, just for casuals. As I said before, If I was a casual I would give them an A. Being a core gamer I would give them a C+. I am a huge fan of Gears 3 and will be picking that up with the Witcher 2. Forza 4?...I dunno.

Ryse is not core? I bet you it will be much harder for someone like you or me to pick up and learn the controls. This is just insane, then how is Sly core, but Ryse not? Think about it, M rated game built where you can gouge someones eyes out, or cell-shaded platformer?

I watch all Bonus rounds, what you say is your interpretation. They never say MS has given up on the non-kinect user base, they just say that that userbase is getting a lot smaller now, at least on the 360.

I'm sorry, but your definition of a "core" title removes a lot of core games like Super Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart, Sly, etc. None of these games have complicated learning curces (with DKCR it's just move and jump).

You're picking and choosing games to include in a debate based off preference. Fable Kinect is as much of a core title as Fable, the only difference between the games is The Journey has no controller. Ryse is also an M rated game, definatly not something built for casual gamers. That would be like calling Killzone a casual game, just insane.

When you use youre definition of core, you basically eliminate Wii's entire lineup except Metroid and Zelda, and that's complete BS. Ryse is as much of a core game as Starhawk, it was built by Crytek, for the core audience. Just because you're not interested, doesn't mean it's not a game "core" gamers can experience on the 360, but not the PS3.


It wont be hard to learn Ryse, hence why its called casual. Secondly you pick and choose games by prefrence. As I said before, I could list the whole Sony lineup for 2011, but you would disregard it because of your preference in waiting for Q4 releases when all the only 360 AAA  titles come out for the year. You chose to disregard that Sony has been giving giving out quality titles year round.

Secondly, my definition of core does NOT remove Super Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong or Mario Kart, because all of those games have a learning curve, and it seems like you dont remember our old conversation because this the same thing you accused me of before. My definition of core seems to be the media idea as well. Secondly I've told you already that Microsoft and Sony already seem to have similar audience of taste in their core section, who mainly play based on preference of system or have both. The Wii has its own loyal core fanbase, whom are loyal to their first party IP's complex or not. Nintendo stands out, hence why this gen turned out this way and Sony and Microsoft followed suit. Nintendo is the only company who can appeal to everyone with a gimmick. Kinect has none and Microsoft have none and Sony definitely doesn't have Crash (Sony's highest selling casual exclusive) or Spyro anymore whom the casuals remember so well from two gens ago when the Playstation was sucking up third party exclusives. Much like Nintendo said at E3 they are contradiction.

http://www.casualgamesassociation.org/faq.php

Look at the casual games associations concept of what a casual title is.

 

Ryse is one of the first Kinect games to use finger controls. Individual finger commands, such as gouging someones eyes, will be recognized by Kinect. However there will be many different types of ways to attack and defend in Ryse. A "core" gamer should have much more trouble learning to play this game then Call of Duty. This game is not like Wii Sports, it's a core title.

I'm not ignoring Sony's past lineup, but why would I include Sony's past 2011 games, when all we are talking about is E3 onward? Do you see the thread topic? We are talking about upcoming games, not 2011 overall. If you want to bring in past games and the library in general, make a separate thread.

Ryse and Fable will not have learning curves? So Fable 1-3 are core RPG's, but now that Fable uses Kinect instead of a controller it's no longer core? You realize the gameplay is very similar overall. This is complete bull, you're just looking for reasons to ignore core titles.

Will you just admit, 360 has more comming out then Sony has for PS3? Stop changing the topic, stop whining that 360 isn't satisfying the core.

BTW That link, and you, have two completely different deffinitions for casual games. According to the Casual Games Association

"Developed for the general public and families, casual games are video games that are fun and easy to learn and play.

I really, REALLY doubt Ryse is being developed for the general public or families. Since when ever are M rated games casual? Same goes for Fable, it is a core franchise for 360, using a Kinect controller, versus a conventional controller, makes no difference.

I'm not interested in Sly or Starhawk, but do I exclude them as core titles? Sly Cooper actually fits that definition much better then Ryse since it's an E rated game, developed for a more general audience.


Dude...Ryse will not be as accurate as The Fight: Lights out and even that game is considered casual. It is a kinect title being the same concept, except the Fight had wands for more accuracy and the same goes for Sports Champions. You're a expecting a little too much from a system with no controller. It is casual. This will draw casuals if Microsoft markets it properly and some core if the they have a Kinect. It might just be the rail, punch out game of the year.

The XBOX 360 is set to have its weakest year so far while the PS3 is set to have its best year so far. I just wouldn't expect to hear something like that when the XBOX 360 has next to no exclusives game coming out in the near future outside of Kinect games and the flagship titles like Halo, Gears and Forza.

I understand now because you were including Kinect titles, don't worry, I was thinking more about hardcore games.

I understand now because you were including Kinect titles, don't worry, I was thinking more about hardcore games.

But a lot of upcoming Kinect titles are core, even though most aren't. Steel Batallion, Rise of Nightmares, Ryse, and debatably Fable.

It is true though, that MS needs to establish a new IP. Those Kinect games won't be AAA, but they may sell close to what Sly Cooper sells.

Then agin, do you consider something like Sly Cooper hardcore, or casual?

That's really cool, and I wish more people on this website debated like you. deep enough to understand each other, but we actually listen to each other.

For RE, I didn't know where that came from, but good analogy. To be fair, both Wii RE Rail shooters got scores above 8/10, and although they weren't as major as a mainstream RE4 or RE5 title, I still consider them core experiences for the Wii. I should pick up those games, love RE.

I've beaten almost every Zelda out there, my point was riding Epona and playing those mini-games was still fun.

I like the RE analogy, I feel Fable: The Journey will be like that, just longer (those shooters are only 5 hours long), and well not on Rails. It will be a good spinoff, but a spinoff none-the-less. I don't have too much faith in anything Fable, but I haven't seen enough to eliminate Fable as a core title. It's definatly not designed to appeal to a family or broad audience.

I am a huge fan of Gears 3 and will be picking that up with the Witcher 2. Forza 4?...I dunno.

I copied you're other post for neatness.

1. Ryse of course will be more accurate then The Fight: Lights Out. The technology in motion gaming grows rapidly, last E3 they said finger commands would be impossible on Kinect, now Ryse has finger tracking. Ryse is levels beyond The Fight: Lights Out, it's become the flagship core Kinect title, and it's made by Crytek. Dude The Fight" Lights Out was a 3/10 Move title, with terrible controls and game depth. This is not a good comparision. Ryse could very well get scores of 8/10, just like Dance Central did. Not all controller free games are a joke, like you want to believe. Have you ever even played Dance Central?

2. Halo: CEA is not AAA, I'll admit that. From what I read before it seemed AAA, but in reality it's a $40 game and will only be a little better then ODST. Still awesome, likely a high 8 or 9/10.

Also I'm not sure how you call Uncharted 3 groundbreaking, but Gears 3 more of the same. Both UC2 and Gears 2 got similar ratings, and from what I've seen of both games, they both look similar to prior installments, just with improved graphics, controls, and more depth to the story. Uncharted being a more story focused game will see more of the story aspects come to light, where Gears 3 is a multiplayer game and will see more multiplayer come to light. Also, this is suppose to be the most in depth Gears game to date, Marcus might die in it.

As for Twisted Metal. Being a huge fan of the franchise, I'm very disappointed in this game. It was originally suppose to be an arcade game, and it still shows. Why does the entire building fall down when you just shoot the corner?

No More Hero's: Hero's Paradise is multiplatform, and yea you want to say enhanced by Move, but I never counted games enhanced by Kinect like Child of Eden (8.9/10 on this website), of Ghost Recon. So

Forza 4 will also be the best racing SIM ever. As someone who has played over 100 hours combined of Forza Motorsport 3 and GT5, I'll say they are about equal in terms of quality. Forza always jumps crazy with each nstallment in quality, FM4 will be awesome. I mean Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear will be giving audio biographies of every car in the game! And no bs minivans, all the cars in the game will be proper sports cars, with in car view and graphics above anything so far.

P.S. I like how you missed Resistance 3. Shows how big some of PS3's franchises are.

Lets just agree fall 2011 and beyond are about equal for PS3 and 360. It really depends on preference. You look at 360 and only see a couple Halo's, Gears 3, Witcher 2, and maybe Forza. I look at PS3 and I see Uncharted, The Last Guadian, and maybe White Knight Chronicles 2 (but I'm mega far behind in my JRPG's)

The XBOX 360 is set to have its weakest year so far while the PS3 is set to have its best year so far. I just wouldn't expect to hear something like that when the XBOX 360 has next to no exclusives game coming out in the near future outside of Kinect games and the flagship titles like Halo, Gears and Forza.

I understand now because you were including Kinect titles, don't worry, I was thinking more about hardcore games.

But a lot of upcoming Kinect titles are core, even though most aren't. Steel Batallion, Rise of Nightmares, Ryse, and debatably Fable.

It is true though, that MS needs to establish a new IP. Those Kinect games won't be AAA, but they may sell close to what Sly Cooper sells.

Then agin, do you consider something like Sly Cooper hardcore, or casual?

Core =/= Good

I don't have faith in any "core" Kinect game, it just doesn't seem feasible to have core controls with a Kinect game. I was focusing on games from highly rated and well respected developers, preferably without motion controls.

It would be great to see a new IP from Microsoft, they need to throw some spare change at Rare and kick their asses back into gear.

As for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, I wouldn't call it hardcore or casual, it's a game for everyone. I haven't actually played it and I don't plan to either, but it reminds me of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, it's a game that both casual and hardcore audiences can love.
