Forums - Gaming - Penny Arcade on Sony conference

Sardauk on 03 June 2009

"Sony's "Agent" announcement is precisely the sort of thing you shouldn't do when the eyes of all the world are upon you. They suggested that Rockstar was making a game exclusively for the Playstation 3, and that it was going to be as big as Grand Theft Auto, popped up a logo, and that was it. It was ridiculous. It would be like a magician gesturing at a hat, suggesting that the hat in question contained a rabbit - you'll just have to trust him - and then proceeding to the next trick. Even the God of War demo, which should have plunged the whole earth into an eon of fiery doom, had no consummation - ending an interminable conference on a downward trajectory. Time was, you could count on Sony to at least deliver some questionable video! We may come to look upon those times with affection."

Note that Tycho also question the credibility of the Milo demo, says he liked Uncharted 2 + AC2 and the possibility to buy and download full games from XBL...

Fixed your link so it will work Friday when the new comic is up



 

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.

If Bungie announced they were making a new game but nothing else, it would just be interesting but nothing huge just like with R*'s announcement.

Why do you get excited about a games name?  You know *nothing* about the game other than it's called The Agent, it's a Sony exclusive, and it takes place in the 70's.  If they actually showed something about the game, then you can get excited, but until then, it's a pretty worthless announcement.  About the only use it has is for fanboys to increase their fighting stick.

Guys, I've been secretly working on this thing, it's called "the dongtacular Punchartz". I can't say much, but it will be revolutionary. And It will be made by me. I don't know when it will be out, what it will look like, how it will perform. But trust me, it will. And you will all be amazed!

You gotta show a logo, dude. Come on.

Also, it has to be PS3 exclusive. This is the most important part!

Yeah, if you guys don't see why the Sony fans wouldn't be excited about a Rockstar exclusive (supposed being developed by the Houser brothers?) I'm not sure we've been watching the same console war?
