E3 08

[Krandor]

For voice chat yeah. But will you really be able to see all other combatants on screen and such

What would be the point otherwise? That's obviously what they're shooting for from a technological standpoint.

[Bingbong]

Killzone 2 has its own event at 6:30 est but all and all Microsoft won that E3. Sony didn't have anything to counter FF13 on 360 but it did have some nice stuff shown.

What should they have countered with...

Hmmm.... FFXIII on PS3!!!! OMG WINZ!

[Akiyama]

This is one special olympics where nobody won

Quoting Maxx for the truth. First time in my life. Good one Maxx.

[Gilthas]

You know, it's STILL coming out on PS3 right? Like we've all known about since PS3 launch... that hasn't changed.

You're completely missing the point. The game was supposed to be a system seller, that effect is gone now that its multi-platform.

And what does Sony show us to make up for it? Absolutely nothing. You'd expect them to at least try to pull something out of their ass to impress RPG fans.

Star Ocean multi-plat

[Akiyama]

Sadly it's going to Xbox 360 first, and they aren't sure if they are bringing Star Ocean 4 to the PS3 or not. Though to me, it'd make no sense to have 1/2 on the Playstation/PSP, SO3 on PS2, and SO4 on Xbox onry. Ah well.

If sony was expecting FFXIII to be a system seller, then they'd of tagged it exclusive. They probably realize that if they have to wait the 2 years til 13 comes out to sell systems, they've already lost. What a stupid comment.

[BRP]

Sorry, I'll still be playing my 360 90% of the time. Yay for movies I won't watch being added 2 years after XBL did it.

Do we still care about who does these things first? At this point companies should be taking past ideas(like say from 2 years ago) and make their current consoles better. And PC did it first.


For people who think Microsoft won: Can anyone even provide another reason besides FFXIII going multiplatform? One game? Really? A RPG? Not even a revolutionary one?

Nintendo won because they announced Mother 3 for USA-- oh wait... shit

[Stee]

uhh I'm sorry but Final Fantasy is not a system seller, maybe in Japan but ff13 is exclusive to ps3 in Japan.

Not even newly announced or a super exciting brand new trailer or demo. >_>

[Osede]

I'm sorry if you think Microsoft topped Sony.... wow. I don't know. That's some serious Final Fantasy loving.

One multi-plat RPG doesn't make it okay for your conference to otherwise look like crap. Sony actually did a good conference and had more than one reveal and almost no casual shit. This is how you do a conference. Well, maybe less "history of blah blah", but otherwise. It was good.

Nintendo and Microsoft got knocked the fuck out and Sony didn't even do that amazing. And it's stupid people are even giving Microsoft credit when it came out of a SE rep's mouth.

Anyway, MAG interests me greatly. It sounds like it's going to be very hard to pull off.

But Jack fails alots in the presentation, he made too many mistakes.

Keep repeating "this is the best of the best" or similar kind of stuff..... I had already heard enough from my douchbag friend and I really hate this sentence lol

1.8 million ps3s and 1.6 million psps, and 1.5 ps2s = total of 5billions? lol

Said that all of the titles being showed are exclusive while some of them are multiplatform -_-

If somebody is more interested in the games on the 360, they will probably say MS won.

To be honest, if you bought a system for one game, you need to find something else to do.

I'm watching a replay of Microsoft's press conference... they started out by announcing all the third party stuff that PS3 also has. Going back over Sony's stuff that I saw, they had far more exclusive content than Xbox.

And did you hear the Bioshock guy talking about PS3 coding... wouldn't be surprised to see that ported over shortly.

Not to mention when home finally comes around, PSN will outdo Live, without the monthly fee.

[Krandor]

I'm lost.

I can partially understand the people who were buying a PS3 for like 2 or more games specifically (I know Xavier made the comment about MGS4 costing him 550 bucks), but are people seriously complaining that they bought a PS3 only for FFXIII and nothing else? If you were buying the system for 1 single goddamn game, why would you have bought it 2-3 years before the game even comes out?

Besides, FXIII Versus is still a PS3 exclusive. By what I've gathered so far, the game is basically going to be on equal footing in all areas to FXIII.

@ the above, Bioshock on PS3 is November I believe, added content for time delay yadda yadda

Blu Ray fucking the shit out of HD-DVD is a 10 times bigger blow than FFXIII.

They'll probably "pull something out of their ass" in TGS.

Yep. One game, really, a RPG and not even a revolutionary one.

There's just better games on the 360. Microsoft won because of all the playable shit they showed us. If you hop off the bandwagon and skim back like 20 pages, you'll see that I said I'd purchase FF13 on the PS3 regardless.

While were on that subject, are you seriously denying the fact that exclusives titles make or break a gaming consoles life sometimes?

[Kenai]

Wow people are acting like RPGs are the be all end all of gaming.



It's a shooter http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...6tmvy42dn3.gif!!!!!

Yea cause everyone is real starved for a good shooter amirite? If I'm not even going to play CoD4 I'm not going to be excited for The Shooting Adventures of Generic Bald Space Marine #225. RPGs have their cliches too but I can only handle so many re-releases.

[Sythe]

How bout this. THIS holiday the Xbox looks more fun. ps3's stuff isnt coming for a while from what i saw
