Forums - Gaming - So E3 conferences done. Shocked at Sony.

joora on 15 July 2008

Who would have thought that M$, whit a mostly dull boring conference, will win E3. I think it's an overall dissapointing E3, and that's a shame, because it's right in the most heated time of the current-gen console wars.

What a wierd E3. Who would have thought that Nintendo would shun the core gamers? Who would have thought that the PS3 was basically a shooters console? Who would have thought that M$ would have the more diverse lineup?

Sony showed about 2 PS3 shooters, they also showed Little Big Planet, Infamous, a little bit of MS 2, so there are still many shooters, but it is not just for shooter fans

E3 major points.

1. Live is so far ahead of PSN now it's nearly embarrassing.

We'll make that decision after Home, and now there are movies and TV shows on PSN (the free PSN which is what matters to me)

2. Nintendo only showed casual games.

3. M$ proved that graphically 360 is right up there (and actually Gears2 was the best detailed ingame footage of any console yet) with PS3.

Can you really tell from the cam footage that we have been getting, though they are very close

4.The place to be for JRPG's is 360.

We already knew that

5.M$ concentrated on their lineup for August 2008 - March 2009.

6. Sony concentrated on Spring 2009 onwards.

With God of War III (maybe by spring) and MAG? InFamous will be out in spring

7. FF13 is now on 360.

And PS3 still

8. Sony as usual used alot of CGI cutscenes.

They showed in game footage for many of the games, though several were missing that

9. M$ had the most playable stuff in their conference.

They just focused mostly on showing 3rd party stuff and getting developer walkthroughs

10. M$ walked E3.

No

@DMeisterJ

Because it isn't? Let's be realistic, you pay but you get much more than PSN.

Edit: Ah i see you edited your post, never mind then.

 

Why wouldn't it be? How long has Live been around? Now, how long has PSN been around? Someone deserves a cookie.=/

So it's Microsoft's fault that they started the online thing earlier than Sony? Maybe they should cut down their features to not make them feel bad?

Or did i say that it shouldn't be? It's just that DMeisterJ's initial post claimed that it's not even ahead of PSN at all.

Take a chill pill.

Don't forget MotionPlus. It got showcased with your average Mii game, but it will be very big. Actually none of the conferences were great, I actually think all were sub par and prove that E3 is virtually dead, but the FF13 announcement was indeed the winning goal.

1) lol, don't be a fool, Live is a tiny bit ahead of PSN and it cost over $60 a year.

3) lol, Gears2 looks so similar to gears1 its embarrasing, so many PS3 games blow it away.

6) lol again, maybe you should watch the conference, Sony showed so many games coming out this year.

8) Name them, the only 1 i remember is the MAG with its 256 online mode, i guess you must be upset the best the 360 has is the gears2 showing with 5 player battle mode against bots

@ 9&10, LoL, your fanboy vision is confusing you.

xbox live has been around longer than psn, also you pay for xbox live, and that is why the content is up there. psn is free, and its growing quickly.

i love how arrogant you are that all the hype was around final fantasy. final fantasy is only on the 360 for europe and the states. and thats AFTER they finish the ps3 version in japan.

and you really think that gears of war 2 graphics match killzone 2???? i wish i could laugh in your face right now.

microsoft had the biggest surprise this e3, but take out the ffxiii anouncement, and please, without being biased, rate their 90minutes.

Killzone>>>>Gears of war 2.

Live did improve quite a bit. Xbox360 is definitely the place for RPGS.

But if you can say that XBox360 the place for RPGS, doesn't that make the PS3 the place for shooters? If you are going by quantity its close. By quality, I dont think I've seen any game that looks better than Killzone 2 period if you watched the new gameplay footage.

Resistance 2 has more features than Gears 2, and IMO is a more fun shooter.

SOCOM is my favorite, I dont know about everyone else.

MAG is in a class of its own.

SO yeah, if 360 is now "home of the RPG" then the PS3 is home of the shooter.

Resistence: resurgance (psp)

GOW III

inFamous

MAG

and D.C. online

if there are others enlighten me

 



As my name suggests it took me awhile to getting around to posting...

I'll explain later...

Sony wins why? Movies have been available for download on the xbox for quite some time now. As far as new games go it was Nintendo that showed more. Only thing that they announed that is so different form the rest is MAG....of which we have no gameplay pics or vids.



Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?

Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.

You've got to be joking.

ROFL!
