*SONY win E3*

Eh, why is a FFVII remake so great? I'm not saying that it wasn't a great game, but I just don't see why it's considered such a megaton...

Its got to be the most hyped up and wanted thing on the internet.

SONY would win with just a teaser trailer.

It may be a wet dream for a few fanboys, however for the remainder of the gaming public it would be a massive let down if that's the best Sony can come up with.



Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

I think that we hardcore Sony gamers shouldn't be worried at all. We were set to win from the beginning, as we're getting what we want, which are video games. We're going to get the impressive line up that was known for months, and perhaps a few more surprises.

Honestly, do you really care if Sony comes up with the same exact thing, even better lets say, than the 360's camera controls? Will you really use it? I don't think so.

Would you really care if you saw sweet footage of GoWIII and release dates for all the games you're waiting for? Yes.

So stop worrying about the console wars, and about Sony appealing to the casual gamers. You should be worrying about Sony appealing to you, the loyal core base, and they will deliver.



as a psp owner sony will win easily if they will show gameplay videos from al those already announced games.
as a ps3 owner(and i'm not one) after 360 conference Sony will have many problems to top 360 performance with ps3 announcements.

That is also my feeling so far... let's see...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Wasn't this a foregone conclusion? Sony underwhelming at E3 because their method is to make all their big announcements during the "down time" between the holidays and E3 to garner hype and support, whereas M$ does a latter-3/4 of the year drive to the holidays?

Sony "loses" E3 every year, but takes the first quarter with big news. I'm pretty sure it's been that way all generation...

I was mentioning this months ago, and had folks just flaming me for it, but it just seemed like SOP for Sony's "wow" line-up to be "yeah, we've seen all that already..." at E3, and M$'s "dead line-up" now looks extra-ordinary (Natal and TWO Halo games would have been enough to wow, knowing the power of the Halo trademark... let alone L4D2 and all the new functionality). It will be the same next year... When all this stuff hits, M$ will be riding a wave up to January or so, then Sony will announce 6 new games that sound awesome, and we won't hear from M$ and Nintendo until E3... And the cycle continues.

I'm not a Sony fan but i couldn't agree with your more.  In fact you could take out the word Sony, replace it with the company of your choice and the general message would still hold true.



Sony only "wins" if it improves its sales of software and hardware. It only does that by actually releasing games and features a large number of people without PS3s and PSPs want. And they need to price their products at a level to attract those same people. They don't win by just talking about games and features with an unknown, or 18 month + release horizon, and showing a few pretty pictures and videos.

thats the problem though...its one of the most hyped "internet" games.  So was K2 which has still failed to sell 2 million copies.  I'm not trying to diss on K2 since its an awesome game but just remember internet hype does not mean real world hype is there.  Natal is already making waves in mainstream press all over right now whie a FFVII remake wouldnt even register a blip on big sites like CNN, MSN, etc.  I think in order for Sony to really "win" they either need to show something to go up against Natal's mainstream appeal or announce a price drop.

I might eat crow here, but fuck it, I was thinking about it and:


Sony can "win"  this E3 so easy, so fucking easy


This is what they can show on their conference, without counting 3rd party or unknown games, only known 1st and 2nd party games, no new IPs or sequels to IPs that are not confirmed to be coming, I'm not even gonna consider megaton stuff like PS2 BC SE or a PS2 Store on PSN :

Show for PS3
GT5
TRICO
Uncharted 2
Heavy Rain
GOW3
Ratchet ACIT
MAG
DCUO
Demon's Soul
White Knight Chronicles
The Agency
Free Realms
Singstar Vol 3 and Queen
EyePet
Eyedentify
Waggle and/or new PS Eye

Show for PSN:
Fat Princess
Under Siege
Vidzone, Music Store
Integration with something
New FW for cross game voice chat and invite
Home Spaces and new Home upgrades to make for a better experience

Show for PSP
Motorstorm Artic Edge
LBP
GTM
Jak&Daxter TLF
SOCOM FTB3
PixelJunk Monster Deluxe

Show for PS2:
Jak&Daxter TLF
Motorstorm Artic Edge
Anything just to keep it alive and show support

Sony wins easily.

Really this E3 is for Sony to lose. The better question is can Sony fuck this up?

Are you serious? there are only TWO PS3 games there I am even bothered about (GT5 and unchartered 2), Sony will be losing this E3 easily and i'm also glad i'm selling my PS3 as REALLY don't need one anymore lol,
