E3 Preview: Kaz Hirai’s Pink Suit Set to Return for More E3 Domination

SDF has obtained leaked details of the E3 press conferences for every single major first party attending this year’s event. Here’s the rundown of what you can expect at this year’s show which starts next week.

Microsoft:

Microsoft, like Nintendo before them, will copy Sony and come out with their own brand of motion control. The SixAxis revolutionized the gaming world with the motion control phenomenon we’re seeing today and Nintendo has already copied it with their Wii mote controller. Microsoft is next in line to copy Sony, and from what we hear the technology offers nothing new and is very disappointing. Microsoft will focus this year’s E3 on a shift away from hardcore gamers and will attempt to compete in the casual arena. Expect to see a direct copy of Sony’s HOME service in some form or fashion. This is simply a company where “innovation” is nowhere to be found. Expect massive disappointments on the gaming front too as Gears of War 2 looks downgraded compared to the original and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts leaves us wondering why Rare is still in business. Microsoft may have some new game announcements, however they will all look terrible.

Sony:

Expect to see Sony return to form at E3. They will start the conference off with a bang by detailing the tremendous sales growth of the Playstation franchise in 2008. The Xbox 360 continues to sell in last place in every single region while the Playstation 3 enjoys the first place crown for next generation systems. There will be quite a few magaton announcements, especially regarding a title that we are under strict NDA not to speak about that will amaze everyone. It is simply the best looking title ever. If you thought Killzone 2 made the Xbox 360 look like a Wii, you ain’t seen nothing yet — and no, this title is not God of War III (which will also be revealed and which also looks incredible). Game of the show? Little Big Planet.

Nintendo:

Nintendo will devote much of its time at the conference discussing how the Wii’s sales are nowhere near as good as the Playstation 2. Nintendo is deeply entrenched in the last-generation race against Sony’s 100+ million juggernaut. Unfortunately for them, the Wii still has 80+ million consoles to sell before they can come close to overtaking Sony. Luckily, this will never happen due to the Wii’s lackluster ongoing sales. Expect Nintendo to focus more on low-IQ gaming; shifting resources away from hardcore franchises and more into peripherals and games that soccer moms and young children can only enjoy because they don’t understand the concept of buttons.

    Sony:

    Expect to see Sony continue it’s lack-luster form at E3. They will start the conference off with a whimper by detailing the horrendous sales of the POS3 in 2008 and the badly QA’s 2.40 downgrade. The Xbox 360 continues to sell 10 to 1 in every single region while the Playstation 3 enjoys the last place crown for next generation systems. There will be quite a few boring announcements, especially regarding a title that we are not under strict NDA (since we have no journalistic abilities and no relationship what-so-ever to $ony) not to speak about that will bore everyone. It is simply the worst looking title ever. If you thought Killzone 2 made the Xbox 360 look amazing, you ain’t seen nothing yet — and no, this title is not God of War III (which will also be revealed and which also looks like crap). Game of the show? Gears of War 2!!!

    “The SixAxis revolutionized the gaming world with the motion control phenomenon we’re seeing today and Nintendo has already copied it with their Wii mote controller.”

    Actually the Wii was released 9/14/06 and the PS3 was released 11/17/06. And Nintendo started work on the wiimotes in 2001.

    I love you guys. Keep up the non-biased reporting :)

  4. My shit would have made a better story then this.
    It had integrity.
    It smelled better.
    It made for a better read!
    This article is all fail.

  5. Sony:
    Expect to see alot of lost exclusives, and Kaz Hirai shame himself. He will downplay all of the advantages of the competition, and try to put a positive spin on all of Sony’s fuck ups. It will be a no show for the very games that were supposed to make 2008 “Year of the PS3″. After the meager presentation, be prepared to see Kaz crying to himself as he lay in the floor of the stage in the fetal position. He will then come out of the closet, after which George Takei will have him killed for giving Asian fags a bad nam!

    So I’m guessing you didn’t see the Gears of War 2 gameplay videos? GoW 2 already looks graphically superior to its predecessor and there are tons of new features. The multiplayer in GoW 1 was great, but it looks even better in GoW 2. Need proof? Look below.

    “Microsoft may have some new game announcements, however they will all look terrible.”

    Really? Too Human looks awesome and so does Gears of War 2. If Mass Effect 2 is in the making then I have no doubts for that game. Microsoft also announced another Halo game that is yet to be unveiled. I have high expectations (and anticipation) for this new Halo game. I’m also excited about Banjo Kazooie 3 since I was such a huge fan of those games when I was playing the N64 back then.

    Microsoft: will demonstrate hands-on Gears of War 2, which will show a direct contrast to the (barely) interactive CG movie that is MGS4. All journalists present will be amazed except for the clowns at SDF since they won’t be there because they are not, in fact, journalists.

    Nintendo: will not say too much, will probably talk about their “Blue Ocean” strategy, will allude to a new in-house IP. SDF will make disparaging remarks about this new IP, even after it is released and eclipses anything done by Sony, both in review scores and sales.

    Sony: will, as usual, pretend all is roses, will blatantly lie about how much they love their customer base, will announce another PoS3 price drop (conveniently neglecting to mention that even MORE functionality has been removed, will show a few 1080p CG movies, claiming they are “In Game” scenes, and will finish up by promising that if everyone in North America buys a PS3, cancer will be cured by Christmas.

    HAHAHAHA! There ya go SDF! Awesome! HOW do you guys get all these exclusive news? You guys are the best!

    I really can’t wait for Sony to reveal that secret game everyone is buzzing about. Hopefully it’s the same game that left people “speechless” from a few months back. Not getting my hopes up too high though, might end up being something good, but not great.

  9. Lets see.

    Wii is beating the PS3. So rather Kaz is taking it in the caboose from Nintendo rather than pimp slapping them.

    The Wiimore predated the Sixaxis. Furthermore the suckatude of the Sixaxis was so tremendous it caused Sony to release the DualShock 3 to replace it.

    And recently Sony bricked a shit load of PS3 systems when they tried to copy Microsoft’s features (not the other way around. But really you can’t fault Sony for that. You can’t expect that much from a free service.

  10. Not only has SDF outted themselves as gay (funny how no one on the SDF team has claimed this thread?), but more to the point, what the fuck are you on about?

    I know you come up with some right royal bullshit, but this time you have exceded yourselves. All you have proved is that you love to suck on Sony cock and have ABSOLTELY no idea about gaming.

  11. Erik got this thread summed up perfectly tbh.

    You mean the getaway 3?

    News to me, i thought that was cancelled

    Hence why no more has been said about it

  13. Am I the oly one who is radically disgusted by Kaz’s sense of stile?
    PINK dressing shirt? Really?

  14. Typos all around… I suppose SDF is getting into my brain and turns me into fanboy. Oh well…

    But really, at E3, I SERIOUSLY hope they show some more of Diablo 3, the game that will put God of War III to shame. And Spore, which looks absolutely amazing, so much so that a fraction of its character creation program puts most of the full-fledged games on any console to shame.

    @the chosen one – No not the Getaway 3 (if you were being serious) some are thinking it’s going to be Heavy Rain, because the “secret game” that was showed a few months back was described as having never-before-seen “story-telling and immersion” but this game is supposed to be unnanounced and some are guessing it’s the Team ICO game, which would be something like SotC 2.

    @Goronian
    Yes, go ahead and discount the fact that Blizzard made three of the most successful and influential franchises ever: Starcraft, which set a benchmark in RTS that no one else has managed to match, even after ten years, Warcraft, THE most successful game of all time, and Diablo, also an incredibly successful game that set the stage for dungeon crawlers everywhere, like God of War, but pulled it off so well that none have been able to capture its essence.

    Although, if you want to judge a game based on previous games, lets look at Guerrilla. KZ2 is obviously the best game ever created, and Guerrilla has NEVER made a flop before…

  36. rider: Although, if you want to judge a game based on previous games, lets look at Guerrilla. KZ2 is obviously the best game ever created, and Guerrilla has NEVER made a flop before…

    So true -.-

  37. @rider of the short bus
    Weeeeell… While I admit, I’m a huge fan of Warcraft II and to lesser extent Diablo II, I also can grasp the fact that Blizzard have created the most mind-numbing set of game-junkies with EVERY SINGLE GAME they’ve released that had online play.
    Warcraft series.
    Starcraft.
    Diablo.
    World of freakin’ Warcraft…

  38. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 11:22 am

    You have to admit, the hype went through the roof after Blizzard simply announced Diablo 3 and gave just a few details. Think what will happen if they give bigger details, maybe on the story or the new classes.

    I totally agree that Blizzard is an influential company. Just look at all their massively successful franchises. Let’s not forget about Diablo 2. The Guinness World Records even noted Diablo 2 as being the fastest selling computer game ever in history.

    Microsoft:

    Okay 2 things about that motion sensing controller, one, Sony didn’t invent motion sensing controllers, it was Nintendo, back in 1986 (or sometime around then) that invented it with the power glove, sure might not have been as good as SixAxis, but it was avalible LONG before Sony was making video game consoles. Also, Microsoft isn’t making the motion sensing controller, that is a third party making it. I do agree with you on the part about Rare though, the original Banjoo Kazooie games where great, and this one looks like crap.

    Sony:

    Okay, I agree that Kaz will say on stage that PS3 has been selling well since the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, but I HIGHLY doubt that they will even talk about there competitors, Kaz is a smart, nice man, and I highly doubt he will make fun of other companys on stage, that is something Steve Jobs already does. I agree that Garrys Mod- sorry, Little Big Planet, will be there big thing at the show, but I also think GoW 3 will be HUGE since that is one of there best selling series on the PS2 and a great game on the PSP. And for the record, Killzone 2 may have great graphics, but the AI looks like shit. An enemy jumps over a barrier, why? To not shoot his gun and die.

    Nintendo:

    After reading what you said for Nintendo, I laughed my ass off, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY doubt that Reggie will say that the Wii is selling like shit, I don’t think ANY company will insult there own product. lso, the Wii is next generation. Nowadays, the only way a console could be a “Next generation” system is if it has good graphics? Nintendo’s contorller is what makes it revolutionary, and Nintendo had the Idea for a motion sensing controller before Sony. Nintendo announced motion sensing controller what, 1 and a half years before launch, Sony snnounced sixAxis what, 6 months before launch? Technically, Sony ripped off Nintendo. Is it just because that PS3 came out 2 fucking days before the Wii, it shows that Wii copied it?

    There is mah post, now to go play MGS 4 :P

  44. Funny how this console war is about the second place now, not the first.
    But major companies still focus most their money on PS3/360.
    I gues there IS some honor among thieves.

  45. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 10th, 2008 at 3:47 pm

    Yeah, while LBP does look like a lot of fun, I hardly think that it is fair to call it a revolutionary, innovative, original game. Hell, most PC games come with the developer toolkit which gives free range for user-created content. And, like noted before, Garry’s Mod is INCREDIBLY similar to LBP. It’s not like user-created levels and content is a new thing.

  51. Goronian – You forgot someone buddy… I might get ignorant if nobody steps up to the plate.

    Paul is too busy being a hilarious thug.

    So are MS and Nintendo both going on Monday with Sony going on Tuesday? (at E3 that is)

    The Wii hasn’t had new exciting games in a pretty long time. Just an observation.

  52. @Stickemup
    Just another observation – as of now only ONE exclusive game interests me on PS3. Folklore. Not even MGS4.
    And sorry, I forgot you. Really hard to keep track in comments format on everyone.

  53. Ah, I see… Miamoto went forward in time to the release of the PS3 to copy the PS3′s sixaxis motion controls, then put the identical technology into the Wii’s controller.

    If the sixaxis technology had been used for the Wii, it would have been a useless piece of garbage. The PS3′s sixaxis is only good for gestures, it’s not based on an IR camera like the Wii.

    And as far as Gears 2 goes, at least the footage we’ve seen is real…

  54. “And as far as Gears 2 goes, at least the footage we’ve seen is real…”

    @Stickmeup
    How did I forget you? Probably because you aren’t rabid like Paul. But anyway, I think Nintendo has something awesome up its sleeve for E3. They’ve been pretty secretive so far about their lineup.

  56. @Goronian – I don’t know how to respond to that Folklore comment. It’s funny how you picked Folklore though, because keri didn’t even know what it was.

    If I say Gears is the only game I want to play on the 360, does that make the 360 any less desirable for people who own one or already have one? Nope, so who cares, really?

    I’ve thouroughly enjoyed Uncharted, Warhawk, Resistance, GTP, MGS4, Folklore, and Heavenly Sword. But again, it doesn’t matter.

    MGS4 looks as good bud.

  57. I CAN afford to buy all three consoles. I just have this simple rule -
    Does the console have 10 exclusives I want to play, compared to it’s direct competitors (thus excluding PC)? Then I’m in. Currently PS3 for me has Folklore and potential LBP, new Jak and new Shin Megami Tensei games. But most of it is “in potentia”. So until the war is over OR ten games I’m interested in are released I won’t spend my money on it.

  58. @Stickemup
    Oh, and that was directed at you.
    I know this site is a joke, but maybe we could have a flame-less argument, at least among us, semi-intelligent people? I’ve yet to find a CALM and CONSTRUCTIVE argument on the matter.

  62. @Stickemup

    “I don’t know how to respond to that Folklore comment. It’s funny how you picked Folklore though, because keri didn’t even know what it was.”

    That is because I really don’t care to follow obscure failures for a system I loathe. To put it in perspective, without googling can you name all of the Zelda games for the CD-i?

  63. keri – You loathe a gaming system? Wow… You need help bud, really.

    And when you use a comparison that is in the same realm, then I’ll answer.

    @slimster – You do know the only reason the 360 has more games, is because it was out more than a year before the PS3 right? I’m just wondering.

  64. Well folks, it’s off to California.

    See you on the other side. SDF will have plenty of E3 coverage throughout the event and we’ll be sure to report whether or not Microsoft and Nintendo drop out of the console race since Sony is owning them left and right. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just gave up.

  65. @Hans
    I LOVE wishfull thinking!

    @Stickemup
    Weeell… They’re not really from different realms, PS3 just sells better as of now, purely on big brand names. We are not prophets, we cannot predict the result of the war. But as of now PS3 is yet to show to me that it’s worth buying.

  66. @Hans

    “Well folks, it’s off to California.”

    Pride Parade?

    I mean because we are all fully aware you are not going to E3. You know with this being a joke site and all. So I mean you would have to be going to a Pride Parade right?

    @Stickemup

    “And when you use a comparison that is in the same realm, then I’ll answer.”

    Well its the best comparison I could come up with. You just have to imagine that the CD-i as even worse than it was for it to be a fair comparison.

  67. @Stickemup

    Although you are right that the 360 was out 18 months before the PS3. Within it’s first year, it still had over 10 exclusives, on top of all the other games released. The PS3 is bearly hitting 10 games still at the mo. The PS3 would be hard streched to have 5 games worth having, let alone 10 exclusives.

  68. GeneticallyDifferent Says:
    July 12th, 2008 at 5:38 am

    @ Stickemup

    In my opinion, the PS3 has had a while to start releasing some nice exclusive titles. I’m not interested in buying a PS3 just to play just one nice exclusive game ( i.e. MGS4). If there are at least 10 really good exclusives on the PS3 then I will consider buying one. Right now, MGS4 is the only game that really catches my eye. I’m still looking forward to Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. I’m just not ready yet to buy a PS3. If this “war” is over and the PS3 doesn’t have enough exclusives then there is no point in buying it. (This is entirely my view. Don’t take it the wrong way. I do not hate the PS3.)

  69. @Slimster – They were exclusives because the PS3 wasn’t around. If the PS3 would have released at the same time, all those third-party exclusives, wouldn’t have been so exclusive at all.

    It just gets old, you can compare the first year line-up for both systems, and they are not that different.

    And to be honest, you can’t fairly compare them. Because you will want to count all those third-party exclusives that the 360 had, that wouldn’t have been if they PS3 was around. They had completely different first years. One had no competition, and the other one had A LOT of competition.

    I know you’re going to say you’re not interested in playing Uncharted, Resistance, Folklore, Future Tools, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, EOJ or Warhawk, but you also can’t say it didn’t have good exclusives.

    I know you’re going to say no, but if those games would have been on the 360, a lot of you, if not all of you would have played them.

    It’s that thing where fanboys see the other companies exclusives as boring. I don’t think they realize they do it, it just happens.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again though, one of the things I like about the Sony exclusives is that they are truly exclusives. You wont see people playing Uncharted or Resistance on PC.

    I can go out and buy Gears, Mass Effect and Bioshock and play them on my PC. I just choose not to because I’ve never liked a mouse in my hand when I’m playing. (crazy huh?)

  70. As it happens ive played 90% of the PS3 exclusives u posted up, the only ones that really got my attention was Heavenly Sword (i quite enjoyed it), and Uncharted (but i much prefer tomb raider to it tbh). The others were so-so.

    Although im more for the 360 as it’s a better games machine, i wouldnt all myself a fanboy cause ive owned them all except a PS3. The only reason i dont own a PS3 is because of the games.

    The PS1 got it right witht eh games, the PS2 did too. The Xbox got it right, and the 360 did as well. But the PS3 is so far behind, theres nothing that makes a gamer want to go out and get one like they did with the PS1/PS2. Until that day arrives where the PS3 has enough features and games to warrent a purchase i’m still not buying into it. I see it as a flop compared tot he other 2 playstations.

    TBH, i can see Sony admitting they flopped witht he PS3 further downt he line, Xbox Pheonix (next gen 360) has been announced at E3 and dev’s are making games for it, so the PS3 maybe a little too late with nothing to stand it apart from the others for a gamer.

    There is a flaw in your logic – Dreamcast got a two years head-start and I think Genesis got around these numbers as well. But both PS2 and SNES upped them just in one year with a big list of really good exclusives. 2000/2001 for PS2 were a LOT better then 2006/2007/2008 for PS3.
    Of course we MIGHT get something better for PS3 by the time of Christmas, but I highly doubt it. Considering first-second-party exclusive titles are looking rather bleak – Final Fantasy with bombed reputation due to XII and Killzone 2/Resistance 2 which for a lot of players won’t be console-sellers due to high number of FPSes on 360.
    At this rate only GoW III and SCIV (because Darth is cooler than Yoda for some. Although he might become downloadable.) are looking promising. I fear Christmas sales won’t show anything spectacular.
    Oh, and most projects might be pushed to 2009, due to console’s curse of delays. Make your own conclusions…

  72. @goronian:

    Resistance2 will sell zero systems. Not a single one. Everyone who buys R2 will do so because they had R:fom, and they obviously have a ps3 already.

    kz2: everyone hypes this game, but frankly if you have ever played kz1 or liberation you will stay clear of this disaster of a game. Even halo3 is better and that game got a 2.5 on this very site.

  73. Damn moderation land. I said that R2 will only be bought by R1 owners in effect selling not a single console. KZ2 is worse than h3 which got 2.5 here.

  74. Street Fighter 4 and Pro Evo 09 will be the deciding factor come christmas. The console who offers better gameplay and better online support will sell the most this christmas.

  75. @Slimster

    Not really… Sport games are barely major console-sellers, and considering that Soul Calibur II was pretty hot at the time and while Gamecube version was technically better it still didn’t manage to push consoles. So there ya have it.

  76. Soul Calibur and Street Fighter are in 2 different leagues. Thats like comparing Super Mario to an avarage platformer.

    Streetfighter 4 is a gurenteed console seller. Exactly the same as when Streetfighter 2 was released on the SNES, SNES sales rocketted.

  77. @Goronian – FFXII bombed? Really?

    And I don’t think you’re aware of the anticipation for RFOM2. Read around, and you’ll see.

    Which games sold you to get a 360?

    LBP and RFOM2 are going to be huge.

  78. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 12th, 2008 at 6:58 pm

    LBP=Garry’s Mod+console

  79. rider of the short – Yes, and no. You guys that say that, are completely missing the appeal that the Sackboys and LBP world have.

    Plus it’s a side scrolling world that has so many different things that Garry’s Mod doesn’t have. I’m not saying it has more, because I have never used Garry’s Mod, just seen people use it, but the things in LBP are completely different.

    I can’t freakin wait to be with 3 of my buddies, playing my sick ass levels. Co-op!

    And scanning things with the PSEye and putting them right into the games. It’s going to be incredible.

    (I also think a lot of the people who are quick to comment on LBP are ignorant to what you can do in the game, there has been a lot of stuff revealed that the average PS3 fan doesn’t even know about)

  80. It’s like comparing the platform aspects of Uncharted to those of a Mario game. Yes they are under the same umbrella, but are so different, and each appeal to different people.

    I think LBP is going to appeal more than any mod/game creating game before it.

    They managed to make an extremely cute but cool mascot that just screams “The Next Big Thing”

    Sackboy is so simple, but the faces and expressions on them say a million words. I can’t wait.

  81. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 12th, 2008 at 7:55 pm

    Well, Stickmeup, I hope you enjoy LBP, and if I ever get around to picking up a PS3 it will probably be one of the top games on my list to buy.

  82. @Stickemup:
    you keep mentioning R2:fom, but that’s not a console seller. Only current r1:fom owners will buy it, therefore it won’t shift a single console.

  83. Ninsonysoft Says:
    July 12th, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    @marnick

    I rented R:FOM and am going to buy R2. I beat your logic.

    @Stickemup

    I understand that LBP is going to be big, I’m buying it myself. But understand, Garry’s Mod has multiplayer too. LBP will be kind of like a Garry’s Mod for consoles, so its still going to be great, since so many people have never experienced the joy of Garry’s Mod.

  84. @Stickemup
    LBP – Well, again, kid games barely sold any console, even party games. Wii did pull out this gimmick, by ORIENTING on it. For every “games are cool and art” there are ten macho-crazy fuckers, who won’t buy anything with rating less then “T”. Yes, I’m serious. I think LBP, while being one of the rare wickedly cool games on PS3 will barely push consoles.
    SF4 – Again, I doubt it. For every guy who buys it from pure nostalgia there are a lot of others wo are simply not interested in fighting games. Believe me, even 3D ones are somewhat a dying genre. Did KOF: Maximum Impact sell? Remember Street Fighter: EX? Don’t set your hopes too high.

  85. @Stickemup
    COntinuation:

    FFXIII: I wrote “reputation bombed”.That means a for good chunk of players the series lost it creditibility after XII. Heck, a lot of players jumped the ship after the X-2 and Compilation madness! Seriously.
    Count off the players, who are simply not interested in jRPGS, or this series in particulair. Again, every PS3 owner under the sun will have it, but it won’t push SIGNIFICANT amount of consoles.
    Oh, and that’s the only major jRPG exclusive for PS3. Yeah…
    And it COULD be delayed ’till 2009. Remember XII?
    Resistance 2: Again, another FPS. Believe me, Gears of War 2 will generate as much hype.

  86. @Stickemup

    “Sackboy is so simple, but the faces and expressions on them say a million words. I can’t wait.”
    Remember Worms3D? Not really good reviews and sales…

    “Which games sold you to get a 360?”

    Happy to oblige!

    Let’s talk pure exclusives first:

    Ace Combat 6.
    Beautiful Katamari.
    Blue Dragon.
    Chromehounds.
    Crackdown.
    Dead or Alive 4.
    Dead Rising.
    Kameo: Elements of Power.
    Lost Odyssey.
    Ninja Gaiden II.

    Ten REALLY good exclusive games, even without PC-360 exclusives and future releases. Easy.

  87. @Stickemup

    I won’t even dwell now into future releases and PC-360 ones. Too much effort. But here’s PS3 games I’m interested in. I only use Wikipedia’s list, mind you:

    The Eye of Judgment.
    Folklore.
    Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
    Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (mildly only, though.)

    And… That’s it! For released games, at least. And even from future releases I’m only interested slightly in LBP, next Jak game, next SMT game(s) and White Knight. Sorry, PS3 is not a seller for me in at least a year.

  88. Get Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox if you want to play NG Sigma. They are the same game, and NG Black can be bought for a fraction of the price.

  89. @Slimster

    I know. I just did a comparsion of what exclusive to PS3 games I would buy if I had it.

  90. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 13th, 2008 at 9:20 am

    IMO, Eye of Judgment relied on a horrible gimmick during an E3 when Kaz Hirai claimed that the PS3 didn’t use cheap gimmicks at all.

  91. @Goronian – Bud, I don’t care about system sellers. I care about games I want to play. You typed way too many comments, and I don’t wanna go down the list to try to answer back to everything you said, BUT the games you listed aren’t any better than the PS3 exclusives I mentioned. Not at all. I’m not going to say they aren’t as good, because I haven’t played many of them, but I’ve read reviews.

    It’s that syndrome I mentioned, where people only get excited over games for their system, and not for others.

    And LBP while having a “kiddy” look is far from being a kid game. Stop going by appearances. Read up on it first. And please don’t compare the Sackboys to freakin worms…not even close…

    EVERY single piece I have read on LBP has praised it left and right, I kid you not, I cannot remember a single negative comment about LBP in everything I’ve read. It’s going to be awesome.

    And 8 player co-op and 60 player battles doesn’t get people excited. I beg to differ.

    im gonna side with u on the co-op thing i was so excited whe i heard that halo 3 was four player co-op sure halo 3 was ok but the co-op made it last longer and 60 multiplayer sounds cool i was excited about gears 5 on 5 o 1 more thing are u 1 of the few ps3 fans who say gears 2 looks GOOD?

  93. @Stickemup
    Sigh…
    Let’s grind it down to dust, shall we?
    I do not own any console YET.
    I am not saying that PS3 is a BAD console.
    I do not care about system-sellers.
    I just can’t find enough reasons to buy PS3 now.
    Everything cleared?

  94. “EVERY single piece I have read on LBP has praised it left and right, I kid you not, I cannot remember a single negative comment about LBP in everything I’ve read. It’s going to be awesome.”

    I can confirm this was well. Everything about this waste of a blu-ray disc that I’ve read has been completely positive. Its sickening. Its the “Emperor’s New Clothes” of video games. Frankly I’m sick of hearing about it. I don’t want to read about it, I don’t want to see screenshots of it, and I don’t want to see anything having to do with it when I walk into Gamestop. I’ll stick with Garry’s Mod thank you.

  95. @Stickemup
    Multiple-posting AGAIN… Oh well, me and my memory.

    Look. I’m not saying LBP is a bad game. In fact, I think it’s one of the truly bombastic titles coming to PS3 at ALL. But other games? Uninteresting to me. ME. PERSONALLY AS A PERSON! (Ha-ha! Ha.. Okay, that was bad…)

    And seriously? I don’t give a flying dualshock about “60 players multiplayer”. And why should I? I have MuMORPGers and PC online shooters for this kind of shit. For all intents and purposes this would make a clusterfuck and could be WERY short on players.

    Goronian is right about his comment about “there are ten macho-crazy fuckers, who won’t buy anything with rating less then “T”. Yes, I’m serious.”.

    I work with a guy that owns a PS3 and told him about LBP and he won’t have anything to do with it at all. Even showed him screen shots but since it looks “kiddie” he doesn’t want it. He does admit that the concept of it is cool but he won’t buy it just simply because it looks like a kids game (I on the other hand would buy it in a heartbeat).

    You gotta remember no matter how cool of a concept a game might have, there are people who will not buy a game just on the principle of how a game looks.

    BTW Worms is still the shit to this day and those games still crack me up.

  97. InfraredChimera Says:
    July 13th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

    @goronian

    I agree with the 60 player online shit. I think alot of “mainly” console gamers think its awesome, but like you said “a clusterfuck” could happen and not make it fun at all. Alot of factors are going against R2 online MP; maps, players, weapons, glitching, matchmaking, and most importantly balancing. If they don’t get the balancing down, then it could severly knock the game down big time.

  98. @InfraredChimera

    Imagine… Instead of 5-7 hooting, immature, “ur mom lol”-spawning idiots you get 59! With headsets, I would imagine!

    About Resistance 2′s 60 player online, you really can’t just throw that fact out there as a raw positive for the game. 60 player online is not necessarily a good thing. More=/=better. Gears 2′s tight, fast-paced 5 on 5 could be way better than a 60player “clusterfuck.” But if Resistance 2 pulls it off, then it might be better than Gears.

  103. there’s must be some serious lag issues if Resistance 2 is going to have 60 players. The PS3 lags like fuck now with the likes of COD4 and Bad Company, so only god knows how laggy it’s going to be with 60 people playing at once.

  104. The PS3 lags with CoD4 and Bad Company because those games are multiplatform titles that are designed with p2p in mind for the lowest common denominator (Xbox Live’s terrible p2p service). So it plays laggy like a typical Xbox Lag game.

    Resistance 2, on the other hand, features dedicated servers like Resistance 1 which means that there’s zero lag. Resistance 1 boasted of 32+ players and there was never any lag.

  105. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 13th, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    And the PC has boasted 60+ player games with zero lag for years. The consoles are barely managing to incorporate even these rudimentary elements into their games.

    WOO HANS IS BACK.

  106. Man you guys sure posted a lot in such little time…

    @random – Yes sir I did, Gears 2 looks awesome.

    @Hans – I’m not sure if that’s right about CoD4 and Bad Company, but the Resistance part is. That was one of the great things about the first one.

    @Goronian – I wasn’t dissing Worms, but they are completely different from Sackboys. The animation on the Sackboy faces are downright hilarious, and everytime I see a video I can’t help but chuckle at their expression, and they are CUSTOMIZABLE to look however you want, from a pirate, to a bride (probably what keri will be using as soon as he gets his PS3 out of lay-a-way) to a mexican dude with a sombrero hat and a huge mustache.

    Like I said, completely different from Worms.

    Cold – I’m not sure if you guys know how the 60-player online is going to work, but it’s not you and 29 other guys, it consists of you and 7 other guys working in smaller groups. With every group in your team having a different task. It’s a lot to explain, and I don’t remember all of it verbatim, but it seems to work well. I have complete faith in Insomniac to deliver.

  107. Luckily though Xbox Live’s P2P service has never bricked a 360 system. Unlike when Sony tried to rip off Live. Furthermore if Live is so terrible why would Sony try to copy it?

    Oh wait, I forgot, Hans is full of shit. Hey Hans, why hasn’t GTA4 RROD my 360 yet or had any of the performance issues your farce of a review stated?

    60 players is impressive for a console game, but it will be total letdown if it lags like shit.

    Let’s not forget one thing. You don’t need tons of players just to have an epic multiplayer experience. I remember Gears of War was only 4v4 and yet it is still enjoyable. Sometimes games can be a lot more fun if there are less players in multiplayer. Sometimes it goes the other way around. If Resistance 2 offers plenty of multiplayer game modes, balance, variety, and new features then it will be a great multiplayer experience. It’s good that they offer us 60 player games, but they should also offer us games 2 man co-op tactical rather than mindless 30v30 deathmatch. As long as the game isn’t going to be a lag fest then Resistance 2 will be great.

    So your BS reason for laggie multi-platform games is utter crap as well.
    BTW only select games on the PS3 get dedicated servers (R1 and R2) but the others are all p2p and if it sucks then it also is fault of the network code for the games for that console.

    You’re probably one of the same people that claims Halo 3 never lags. Sure buddy. No one is going to believe a biased fanboy like yourself.

    So basically on the PS3 only the best games get dedicated servers, while on Xbox 360, the worst games that no one plays gets dedicated servers while Halo and Gears get p2p lag.

  123. All good and well having dedicated servers, but what if say 10-15 of the 60 people online are on a 512kb connection and live half way across the world? it’s going to lag regardless.

    Wait… ASDFGH… It all makes sense!

    I just played through the Too Human demo, and the game is actually incredibly fun. I would give it a solid 8.5 based on the demo. The combat is actually very satisfying. It’s easy to get into, but deep enough to make for a very fun experience. Online co-op should be a blast.

    Before all of that millions of Wii owners convert to the PS3 for LittleBigPlanet, and realize how superior the PS3 is. Spore will be defeated easily after its month of reigning freedom. When Microsoft tries to rebuild their crumbled inferior games library, KillZone 2 will come and leave nothing alive in its wake, thus prompting Microsoft to leave the gaming business.

    Odd, this doesnt seem like the Killzone 2 trailer we seen like 2 years ago where SDF compared it Gears. In fact this looks like a complete and utter generic piece of PS3 poo. Smashing shades of gray though, didnt know there were so many variations.

    The MS spotlight is kinda boring…

    Gears 2 looked amazing

    Fallout looked cool, LIVE is getting exclusive content, which I don’t care much about.

    RE4 looked okay, nothing too crazy, kind of a letdown for me.

    Banjo looks fun.

    LIVE is going to be real robust now. It’s definately worth paying for if you want all the things it has.

    That You’re In The Movies game is extremely lame…anyone else think so?

    You didn’t know that Microsoft secured a large lineup of JRPG exclusives? Tales of Vesperia coming out in the same month as Too Human, and Last Remnant and Star Ocean both look amazing too.

  144. Final Fantasy 13 on Xbox…ouch…that one really hurt…

  145. News from E3:

    Final Fantasy XIII for the 360.

    How do those apples taste Slim?

    That one hurts…

  147. I’m quite pleased with that. I thought that XIII was going to be the very first Final Fantasy I was going to have to miss. Looks like I lucked out.

    Sony has to have something HUGE to counter that.

  150. God of War 3? Wardevil? Infamous? Team Ico game? Suprise unnanounced game? I dunno.

  151. Well… I gotta say, that everyone seem to jump the ship.

    Final Fantasy is bigger than God of War III. Its much more successful and has a gigantic fanbase. I don’t think a GoWIII announcement could counter losing FFXIII

  153. @rider of the short bus

    True. It’s like having a breast implant won’t compensate for losing a dick.
    Hey, a good metaphor!

  154. By the way, Fable 2 looking fucking amazing.

  155. WHAT!!!! What a double blow for Sony, both thier absolute trump cards have backfired on thier faces in spectacular fashion. Killzone 2 looks omplete shit, and FF13 is now a multi platform.

    SDF normally says “It Begins..” I say “Sony, the game is Over!!”

    @JustinSaneV2

    That’s gotta hurt for Sony. I also realized something else. Why is it that a lot of companies working for Sony are starting to release their games for Microsoft? My guess is that they want to boost the sales by releasing it on another console that sold more than the PS3. Not that they hate Sony. Sony has tons of friends, but the PS3 hasn’t really lived up to it’s predecessors’ success.

  157. There is NO WAY that Sony can counter the fact that they have just lost thier Final Fantasy trump card. That game was the ONLY thing that would have tempted me into buying a PS2.5, now whats the point?

    If i ever get RROD before you PSbots say, the price of the 360 now i could buy 3 for the price of of 1 inferior PS2.5

    This gen is over, the PS2.5 is destined for epic fail this time around. Start building hopes for the PS4, wait, isnt the PS2.3 part of a 10 year plan? Only 8 years of epic failness left, lol.

    @Stickemup

    Those exclusives you mention don’t really appeal to me. I have my eyes on Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. My only worries for Killzone 2 is the AI. The AI didn’t look that intelligent from their gameplay videos.

  159. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 14th, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    Resistance 2 looks like Battlefield 2 but not as fun. Killzone 2 looks like a watered down CoD4 clone, and the new gameplay video they released looks nothing like the 2005 CGIfest.

  160. GeneticallyDifferent Says:
    July 14th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

    @rider of the short bus

    Not really. Resistance 2 looks like the first one, but with more features and slightly better graphics.

    If Killzone 2 is like CoD 4, then that would still make it a fun game wouldn’t it? Yes, it wouldn’t be original, but it’s still a Sony exclusive that should be worth getting if it lives up to the hype.

  161. @GeneticallyDifferent

    But it STILL won’t push a lot of consoles, though.

  162. GeneticallyDifferent Says:
    July 14th, 2008 at 1:26 pm

    @Goronian

    That maybe true. I don’t think that many PS3 games had as much hype as Halo 3 so it really didn’t boost the sales the way that Halo 3 did for the Xbox 360. MGS4 may have done it for the PS3, but nowhere near what Halo 3 did. Not saying that these exclusives suck. Sony’s exclusives aren’t awful (except for Lair and Haze) but they are so obscure compared to Halo 3.

  163. @GeneticallyDifferent

    If Sony loses more interesting or simply big-name exclusives what will it have left?

    BOOSH!

  164. GeneticallyDifferent Says:
    July 14th, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    @Goronian

    Yep. Sony better start releasing A LOT of good exclusives. Just a few games wont’ cut it. On top of that, Micrsoft is still releasing more exclusives.

  165. @GeneticallyDifferent

    INTERESTING eclusives. Not just “only in Japan, or some weird shit, or some false-promise crap”.

  166. rider of the short bus Says:
    July 14th, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    Killzone 2 looks like it is trying to be CoD4, but the gameplay looks horrble. Shooting barrels? And the AI looks awful. The Helghast sat there in a machine gun turret with bullets whizzing past him and didn’t fire a single round.

    For $ony, it’s Game Over man, GAME OVER!!!!!!

  173. @rider – Thanks bud. I’m really damaged right now though. This hurts. It feels like unless Sony does something drastic tomorrow, the PS3 is destined for third place.

    I will say this though, I thought they were going to show more games.

    I wonder if FF13 Versus is also going to the 360?

  174. They literally have to show something close to this tomorrow:

    LBP
    Killzone 2
    Infamous
    Wardevil
    Reistance 2
    Socom
    The Agency
    Motorstorm 2
    White Knight Chronicles
    God of War 3
    a new Naughty Dog game
    and their BIG suprise, if there is one.

  175. @Stickemup

    All at once. And ALL of them must be awesome. Whatever anyone says, heck, whatever I say, Final Fantasy XIII is BIG. In fact, it’s release on 360 can REALLY shake the Sony boat.

  176. @Goronian – I don’t think they ALL necesarilly have to be awesome. Because that’s saying that 10 games equal one Final Fantasy game, which is far from being the truth. They just need two or three to cover the ground.

    And to answer my own question, I just read that Final Fantasy 13 Versus is still an exclusive. That’s good news.

    I wonder how Hans is reacting to this down there in California. I bet his testicles castrated themselves. I really can’t wait to see his GTAIV- style review of both versions.

  178. @Stickemup

    Don’t forget about Fable 2, Gears of War 2, that OTHER Square jRPG exclusive… DFefinetly more than two-three awesome games.

  179. EscapeTheFate Says:
    July 14th, 2008 at 3:07 pm

    Napoleon Dynamite says yesssssssssssssssss @ FF13 on 360…….

  180. While Gears 2 looked awesome, it does look like Sony will have more exclusive games coming soon.

  181. It’s funny though how this works. It’s that syndrome I was talking about.

    Where a game is more appealing to people when it’s on their system. Before FF13 to a lot of 360 fans was just a JRPG with a bunch of girly men, now it’s the second coming.

  182. If you look around the net, it’s clear that Xbox is determined to be the No.1 brand and has well and truly shafted Sony right up their royal ass. MS has pulled out all of the stops at E3, and what has Sony done to counter it? Show a shit demo of Killzone 2.

    @stickemup,

    No one has complained about JRPG’s, your just making that up. Alot of people really enjoyed Blue Dragon and Lost Oydessey. It was the PSbots who were always making assumptions that all Xbots liked was FPS shooters.

  183. @Slimster – Making it up? Are you kidding me? What did G4 give Crisis Core? They complained about everything that makes Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy.

    It’s happened here too, including my good friend ColdYellow.

    Pulled out all stops? I wouldn’t go that far. PS3 is still getting FF13, and who knows when. It’s still probably more than a year off.

    They needed more games announcments to really cement themselves as this years winners.

    Let’s wait and see what Sony has.

    @Stickemup

    If the 2008/2009 exclusives for the PS3 do not live up to everybody’s expectations then Sony is finished for this generation. We only have about 2-3 years until the Xbox 720 is released. That will start an entirely new generation.

  185. @Stickemup
    @GeneticallyDifferent

    Sheesh, guys, calm down! We don’t now anything yet! Why don’t we simply ait and see?

    WTF is wrong with you guys?
    Microsoft, like Nintendo before them, will copy Sony and come out with their own brand of motion control.
    Shouldn’t it be:
    Sony will copy Nintendo and come out with their own brand of motion control

  190. In case anyone WAS wondering
    The only reason that a large proportion of “exclusive” 360 games are ported to the PC is because……..Microsoft IS PC

    Just if you “somehow” didn’t manage to figure this out on your own…
