Natal is going to be a really huge thing I think. It's amazing. Tons of core games too ... I don't think Sony can top this. Alan Wake looks great, 1080p video streaming kinda nullifies Blu-Ray.
i think this was really lame and that fact that halo is the new guitar hero is really sad.
technically they are releasing 3 halo games in one year! FAIL!

But that was then and this is now. The landscape is very different. Sony has one 3rd party franchise remaining exclusive before today. If someone said before the show started that Kojima would walk onto the Microsoft conference stage and say "The Metal gear Franchise is coming to 360", people would laugh. If you then said Kojima would then go on to say "the next metal gear, Metal gear Rising will be on 360" then they would think your insane. The megaton is that the Metal gear Solid Franchise has now gone multi-platform. That is like the guy who makes Halo walking onto the Sony conference saying Halo ODT will be on PS3. That will not happen. But the point is now that all those old franchises Sony had have all gone multi-platform. |
No. First of all, Versus XIII is still a big exclusive game (it'll go multi someday, but I'm saying that there are still big exclusives left).
Second, PS3 owners have lost nothing. Halo ODST would be a megaton, yes, because the 360 would lose a big exclusve. Rising has never been announced as a PS3 exclusive. Last year's announcement was also big, because NO ONE expected it. Quite some people expected MGS to go multi (I expected MGS 4 to be announced for the 360 as well).
MS' confere was good, they did what they had to. Announce new games, show new things of upcoming games, ... but nothing huge happened.
Seriously,
The motion made me cry. Im praying for Sony not to announce anything like that and if they do not waste more then 3 minutes on it. I DONT want to be a part of console gaming if it means everyone using fucking sensors and moving. I WANT CONTROLLERS! So all of that was pure SHIT TO ME. I hated the whole Natal thing.
The games were really expected werent they?
Forza 3 looked great, But Ill get GT5 over it any-way >.
I thought it was good but everything was expected really. Even a MGS on 360 I figured was odds on from the rumours, etc.
It was nice to see everything but nothing surprised me, really, so I can't say I thought it was close to best ever. Certainly nothing struck me as coming close to the FF bombshell of last year (and yes I'm including MGS announcement in that).
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Again im sorry mate but you don't quite get it. Sony has lost nothing as your rightly say. They will obviously be getting the Metal gear games too.
But if you were a gamer and were after a new console to play the game would you pay £129 to play it or £299 to play it?
And that is what we have. The old people from the PS1&2 era who helped to sell 120m PS2's have not yet all bought into this new generation.
The fact that a game franchise that was used as a massive selling point especially in Japan has now lost its exclusive tag is a massive blow to the draw power of the PS3. You would have to be a raging fanboy to pay double to play the same game.
So now Sony has to concentrate fully on its 1st party titles to draw people in. Something which im not sure they are as good at as they once were.
MGR for the 360 was pretty far from a megaton.... Alot of people expected it...

Metal Gear fans (most of them atleast) already have a PS3. This game won't sell alot of consoles, 360 or PS3.
It may not be a "megaton", but Microsoft hit several very important announcements and Skynet... I mean Milo has peeked my interest.

They aren't. 2 out this year and 1 announced for next year. You can't compare it to GH because one of the games released this year was a RTS and the other is FPS. They aren't of the same genre, plus they are from different developers.
