Forums - Gaming - One major difference between Sony and Microsoft at E3

jman8 on 16 July 2008

They were both released after seeing heavy delays..... kinda like Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Killzone, etc will all see release after heavy delays.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Zelda Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime three released though....so I don't understand their inclusion.


jman8 : "Games get cancelled and delayed all the time"

I think that's why.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

You guys do know that GoW3 developers are already on different projects... don't you... oh please tell me you guys knew this. Why would developers go on different projects if the game they started needed more help to be finished...

Sony Santa Monica has been and still is hard at work on God of War 3. They're not working on anything else.

 

And as for the Getaway and 8 Days. Those games were in development, but got derailed by a number of factors. A) Home is taking up precious resources. B) Killzone is taking up precious resources. Ultimately, the biggest reason they got cancelled was because of C) Phil Harrison, Worldwide Head of Sony Game Development, left the company and his replacement didn't like the way the two games were shaping up. That's not empty promises. That's called changing circumstances.

Games get cancelled and delayed all the time. Ever heard of Splinter Cell: Conviction or Alan Wake? How about Zelda Twilight Princess or Metroid Prime 3? Oh noes! MS and Nintendon't keep promises! Where's my mommy!

The fact of the matter is that Sony is releasing two very solid well previewed games this Fall: Resistance2 and LBP. Early next year they have two more games with great potential: Killzone 2 and InFamous. How is this bad again?

 

 They are working on Killzone 2 =P true story.

Cause other projects need to be rushed out the door and are behind schedule?

It's been known to happen.

I love how the Sony fans are only comparing this E3 yet Legend says "A History". That means he is not just basing this off of one E3 but the majority. Killzone 2 was announced at E3 05' yet it's still not out at E3 08'. Lots of people were/still are hyped about this game and some bought PS3's because of it. Another example would be Tekken 6....anyone have a release date on that because that was another E3 05' announcement.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

And I love how all the haters are only pointing out E3 '05 and can't say the same thing about any of the other E3s.

Santa Monica is definitely not working on Killzone2. Guerilla said they used tools from Santa Monica and Insomniac but that doesn't mean either devs are directly working on KZ2. Sony has a system in place that allows all its first party devs to share each others tools and assets across the globe. There is definitely no one from Santa Monica, CA going half way across the world to Denmark or Holland or wherever Guerilla is from so that GG can finish Killzone 2.

I like that the "sony fanboy's" completely break apart the original post with fact's, and it's all of a sudden damage control -_-; Dmeister owned this poor thread...

Please. Dmeister doesn't even own the console of which he's a fanboy, let alone this thread.

I find that comment about DmeisterJ to be very amusing.

Anyway, Sony is the master of smoke and mirror there is no doubt about it. They practically destroyed the Dreamcast with that strategy, stunt 360 launch with PS3 announcement (which they conveniently delay afterward).

This has always been Sony strategy, they are the master of presentation and theartical. Home beta still hasn't debut after much hoopla from previous E3, we are still waiting for Killzone 2, BLP, Gran Turismo the real game, Afrika (the list go on and on).

Press complain and bitch about Sony vaporware and their bait and switch tactic but every year at E3 they all fall for the same Sony tactic.
