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

Tigawoods on 15 July 2008

Going on how happy am I with each platform I own is prolly the best way to judge IMO.

PS3: Good showing of games but nothing really new. R2 looked cool but I thought the graphics weren't as great as I thought they would be. (My opinion) Im glad they are working on PSN but it still needs a good bit of catch up. Was kinda disappointed on how they left out a good bit of info on Home but it looked nice. I won't be a big fan of it as I suspect a lot of others won't but Home gives PS3 more identity. MAG: I don't want another shooter. It seems like they wanted to make a genric shooter and make it an MMOFPS. I think its slightly insulting: "We let FF13 exclusive go but were going to make another big shooter so you'll be distracted and you won't get pissed."  Btw the LBP lvl with graphs was an absolute awesome idea. That was the best part for me. I don't own a PSP but its full of win.

Ninty: /shudder nothing for me really. Animal crossing is nice but I was very disappointed.

Xbox360: Couldn't be happier really. The FF13 exclusive didn't matter as much to me. I was more relieved at the fact that they have are looking more into 2009. Gears2 looked great get over. Its not Gears 1.5. All the games the showed looked very well done. Though I wish they would have shown a few more exclusives but it seems like the devs are making their own showings during E3 (Halo Wars, Bungie announcement tomorrow but it may be multi-plat who knows) The additions to XBLA are excellent as im a big fan of the old Banjo. The middle part of the conference was a joke as we all know. Netflix is great (and the better deal IMO) the new dash looks pretty nice. Yes we all know they are a rip off I can make hundreds of arguments of Sony copying Ninty or MS so just drop it, we alrdy know they are a rip. All in ALL i give MS the nod.



Consoles Owned: Sega Genesis, NES, PS2 (RIP) N64, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii

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?

E3 major points.

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

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.

6. Sony concentrated on Spring 2009 onwards.

8. Sony as usual used alot of CGI cutscenes.

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

10. M$ walked E3.

 

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

wow 5$ for one month... you're really poor. And it's not a "tiny bit" ahead. It is ahead.

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

The level in that movie looked better than everything in the first GEoW. If they keep up the good work I can easily see 95% on Gamerankings and 7 million lifetime sales.

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

FAIL. Of course you playing against bots. IT'S A SINGLEPLAYER GAME !!!!!

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

MS had some playable stuff and is for me winner of E3. (Even though Sony showed more games)

 

 

How is it a sigle player game, its an online mode with 5 players, compared to 256players you fail and gears2 fails.

 

Because it has a story and is singleplayer in 1st place and multiplayer in 2nd. More players is not better in every game. Counter-Strike with 256 players . YOU FAIL AGAIN !!

Not true

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.

True for a short while

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

True , but ironicaly it's the worst performing japanese console currently.

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

Don't care

6. Sony concentrated on Spring 2009 onwards.

IF Resistance 2 , Socom , Little Big Planet, Teeken 6  , Motorstorm , Naruto Ultimate Ninja   is concentrating on releases after Spring '09 then MS is in trouble.

7. FF13 is now on 360.

FF13 & Versus was initialy developed for and still is on PS3 , on 1 disc I might add.

8. Sony as usual used alot of CGI cutscenes.

Your point being ? they are called "teasers"

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

M$ Can take the award for "Most playable stuff" like anyone would care about that.

10. M$ walked E3.

Agreed.
