sony's turn

Sony certainly knows how to open with a bang. Now lets see if they have content to bring with their bang.
 
Hope Sony doesn't fuck this up like they manage to do with everything else so far. Microsoft set a really high bar yesterday.
 
Resistance 2 looks pretty cool, but the sequence they showed wasn't very "wow." Looks like they're about to show another video though.
 
I'm looking forward to Little Big Planet. Have they given a release date yet?
 
so far in my opinion based on their ps3 presentation. Sony has tanked.
LBP will be fine for casual gamers, but its nothing mind blowing.
 
I'm sure once this PS2 stuff is done they'll go back to the PS3. Or maybe PSP will be next, and then end on some big PS3 stuff. If not then they really blew it this E3.

Surely that's not all they're going to say about the PS3...

There's supposedly four PS3 games to be formally announced during this presentation, that were not announced previously. They are probably being saved for last. We've already known about all the games they've shown us so far.

Edit: Just as I hit submit, new Rachet and Clank.

That's pretty sad if all Sony can do is keep releasing rehashes of the same game. We already have a Ratchet and Clank for PS3 :(
 
They have said nothing so far......other then being forced to support the PS2 because they haven't been able to convince PS2 owners to upgrade to a PS3.
 
Resistance finally gets a price cut. I will probably pick it up now!

I would also like to be able to download and play PSP games on my PS3, or can I already do this? I have no use for portable gaming, but I hear great things about Patapon.

You mean as opposed to gow2, fable2, animal crossing, and wii sports from the other companies? The only "original" thing is wii music and that looks stupid as hell.
 
Nice! Movie rentals and purchases are coming to the PSN. Hopefully Microsoft will lower their prices, since it sounds like Sony is slightly less.
 
It's available tonight. I can't believe that Sony kept their mouth shut on something and just provided.
 
I don't remember hearing it specified. Sorry. If I missed it can someone fill it in?

Resistance, Patapon 2 and Valkyria Chronicles for PSP. Three good reasons to keep my PSP.
 
On the movie stuff, he said to the crowd that they could download it Tomorrow! :eek:

I now need a bigger HDD, 160GB is going to be too small soon :D
 
What you saw here, (besides resistance 2) is Sony clutching at straws.

MAG? Nice CG animated cutscene i guess. Of course no gameplay.

God of War 3 : I somehow guessed this would be nothing more than a cinema.

Give me a break, I thought Nintendo was weak but Sony takes the cake.
 
Sony much for Sony saving us. Jesus... who knew that the PS3 would end up more of a shooterbox than the 360?
 
they are on the "ten year plan"
by the time they get around to making decent games quoted "year 4" "year 5" the next version of a microsoft console will be out hopefully not having hardware issues.

and this vicious cycle will continue.
 
Sony's conference looked just above average, in my opinion. I think Microsoft takes it this year, with some of their big announcements, and of course the Final Fantasy XIII bombshell.

MAG sounds pretty cool though.
 
MAG will be up to the players.. imagine squads turning the tide of war just like a real squad would. Imagine like a group of people kinda like the SAS from COD4 changing the game.. would be awesome. But yeah.. the FF13 bombshell took it this year. Besides that the microsoft and sony conference was just more of the same.

Key word is IMAGINE. Too bad it will likely suck balls by the time 2010 rolls around.
 
I wanted to be sold on a PS3 based on what I saw at this conference. What I actually saw was the fact that I'm waiting even more to buy a PS3, especially with the planned 80GB for the same price as a current 40GB. Seriously, why the hell would they do this right now without cutting the price of the 40GB? I'm confused.

No matter. I'll see you PSN guys in Spring 2009! Thanks Sony!

QFT

All Sony could pull out of their sleeves is more pre-rendered propaganda!? I mean seriuosly, MAG? God of War 3 only had a cheesball cutscene? In fact the only gameplay worth noting was Resistance 2 (which I did enjoy, I would definitely pick that title up).

Oh wait! I almost forgot about HOME! How crap-fag-tacular will it be to run around my buddies' virtual homes and dance like homos!
 
FF13 going multiplatform was the only bombshell (but the game itself is incredibly uninteresting with its prerendered garbage), this E3 sucked ass for the console events as a whole.

Like usual its all about the third party games, especially Fallout 3 and Mirror's Edge which were the 2 best games shown. We already know everything that needs to be known about LBP, yes its awesome, we dont need to see more videos of it, just release it already.

Sony could have easily stolen the whole show if they showed an ICO game, but apparently they are fans of watching their stock go down the drain.

It looks to me like they're simply doubling the hard drive and probably leaving out all the readers, extra usb slots, and backwards compatibility.

the current functionality of the 40GB PS3,

Pretty dissapointed, i agree that ms stole the show, i was hoping for some kind of new motion sensing pad and more games. Im well impressed in the movie support though, dam i need a bigger hard drive!! Think ill hang on for the 1tb hard drives in next few months.

Nice catch, didn't see that at first. Guess I'm either buying used or not at all... in 2009.

I agree. There was nothing new and amazing shown at this E3 at all. I was expecting better of Fallout 3, but apparently I thought too much of the previous games when I played them so long ago.

FF13 was a big deal since SE has been making their games for PS for the last two generations. Caught by surprise.

The movie service is a big deal because it was announced the same day that it will be up and running. Typically Sony is the opposite, like Home, so this caught me, and I'm sure others, by surprise.

To me, those were the only two things that were actually surprising about E3.

Sadly we live in an era where content delivery is amazing, but the content being transferred is terrible. I liked it better when it was the other way around.

Edit: Actually Valkyria Chronicles for PSP caught me by surprise big time. They just kind of slipped that in there. Discussion in threads like these seem to normally ignore portable consoles though.
