But how many new games did they reveal?

Left 4 Dead 2, Halo Reach, MGS:R, Project Natal.

None of those are significant blows. MGS fans have already bought a PS3 because of MGS4. L4D2 isn't a big deal. Project Natal might cost $200 and is releasing next year along with Halo: Reach.

I would call it a significant blow, more a stinging jab. It shouldn't be too hard for Sony to match that.

Crackdown 2 was a big reveal. That said, yeah man, you got your opinion and I got mine. I appreciate yours. /bow

Forza 3 we saw coming, but it looked pretty good. Plus that new epic game on XBLA. 10ish new games in all. Some looked great.

L4D2 is by valve. It is a pretty big deal to me, fyi.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

WOW!

people are really under-estimating NATAL big time.

I am telling you, if advertised correctly, NATAL will be huge & cause a bigger blow to the Playstation 3 than anything else.

Xbox 360 now truly will be a different experience from PS3......this is for you too zenfolder.

NATAL diffrentiates xbox from PS3, it makes the experience different & games different.

MGS:R is a small cut to PS3, NATAL is a "blow".

Machina and I were trying to figure out if this Natal thing could really resonate with current 360 fanbase.  And I was thinking that if they really play up the technilogical wonder of it then maybe it would.  Obviously it could all go really far south if they screw it up and look like their abandoning the "core" and going "casual", but if they make it look amazingly futuristic it could really work.

..........................wow your not a fanboy

You're in damage control mode, so I'll forgive you for that.

Look around the industry. Do you think more reporters agree with my opinion, or yours? Read any articles about E3 yet?

Just because I liked the show, doesn't mean I'm a fanboy, and YES, losing the MGS franchise as an exclusive 3rd party franchise is a significant blow. AM I WRONG!?

What am I wrong about, please tell me. Nothing.

Look at your thread title before you assume things, and ofcourse I know reporters dont care if I think your a fanboy..

Also news flash, the metal gear solid franchise has NEVER been exclusive to any platform to begin with.

Neither was FFXIII, it is important for the same reason.

Now, sure, you can argue that the 360 game is a spinoff, but I'm willing to bet that if there are more numbered games in the series, they are to be multiplats. That is MY OPINION.

How can I fail with my opinion, which many agree with, like most of the internet.

 

Whatever though. Sorry I gave my E3 opinions, sheesh.

 

Yeah, MS e3 sucked, lol. That is the direct opposite of the truth, but I'm not interested in fighting with you because you are obviously in a flaming mood. I've seen your other posts since the conference.

Notice how I said " Look at your thread title before you assume things", I dont care about anything else in your post. Your thread title is what made me call you a fanboy.

One final thing

how can it be a significant blow if all people who would buya PS3 for an MGS already bought it with MGS4

FF13 announcement was 100 times more powerful

yet again, I suggest you edit the post with NATAL....that will cause a RISE in Xbox 360 sales MUCH MORE than MGS:R

Because...losing the MGS franchise as an exclusive to your brand is bigger than one game...obviously. Maybe I should have said "blow to the playstation brand"

Also, the blow came in more than just MGS. It was also due to a strong lineup of games from MS, like L4D2, and Crackdown 2, as well as some interesting new control stuff that most people(Sony fans excluded) liked.

Again, am I wrong, if so how.

 

I sort of agree with you.  They did deal a significant blow, no matter how you want to look at things.  The PS3 has essentially no big third party exclusives left at all.  All the BEST SELLING PS2 third-party franchises have now gone multiplatform.  And let's face it, as much as I love Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted, they are simply no match for Gears of War and Halo.  Sony's first and second party developers need to step up their game.  Yes, there are a lot of Sony exclusive's still left.  But they need a catalyst, something that will get people excited about the PS3 again.  Trico is one of my most anticipated games, but it is NOT going to get people excited about the PS3.  Neither will MAG or even God of War.

Sony really needs to pull off a flawless E3 conference tomorrow.  And by flawless, they need to announce a new franchise that is going to sell 5+ million copies.  And no, it can't be Gran Turismo 5 because I don't think that game will do as well as people think it will for PS3 sales.

By the way, I'm not saying that the PS3 is doomed or that it's a sinking ship.  But if Sony wants to get any momentum back from Microsoft, they really need to do something big and game changing.  Unfortunately, I doubt they have anything that will do it.  I guess we'll see tomorrow.

This wasn't a flamebait attempt. In fact, I wish a mod would like this. It's becoming a place for PS3 fans to vent.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Well this was the last major 3rd party series that stayed a PS3 exclusive and now it's not. Like it or not that's a pretty big blow to Sony. Also before today the end of year exclusive lineup for 360 didn't look too great.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

It was the only part of my post that I didn't take the time to think up, lol. It was like, wrote the whole thing, took 2 seconds to think of title. :(
