Official Sony E3 Discussion Thread

[whYeNQue]

Was pretty obvious ...

that's why it was in the sarcasitc apostrophe quote :p

infamous looks ok, hope the whole star wars-esq electric hands doesnt get you thrown down a long shaft to your death during your regin over an empire by your apprentice's barsteward son :D

I mean no disrespect to Sony fans, but I feel this press conference has been a massive fail. I've actually been considering getting a PS3 recently and look forward to Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, but this conference was just... absolutely horrible.

Yeap, I'm absolutely with you on this one. I was really coming into this press conference hoping for something to sway me towards a PS3 purchase, but I'm not seeing anything too compelling. 360 has my hands more than full.

I'm going to reevaluate in September though, when that new SKU hits and see if it's worth the purchase at that point.

[Sethos]

They actually called the game "Massive Action Game" ... :|

Sounds great, but a CGI trailer, that's to be expected. :rolleyes:

MAG looks awesome!!!!

[HTF]

def looking forward to mag

looks great

[Brad.]

MAG really doesn't interest me, it'll probably grow on me for sure though.

[CY:G]

Wow the rumors were true, about the 256 player action game

[Dev Null Zen]

MAG makes history, period. Just hope it delivers.

[HTF]

yeah

[what]

MAG sounds like it'll be in direct competition with ARMA 2 ( http://www.arma2.com ). The original ARMA was awesome on PC.

[Kushan]

I'm a little dubious about M.A.G. considering all they could really say about it was "256players and 8player squads". No hint about the gameplay or anything, but it's early days yet. Hopefully it delivers.

What, "Sounds", you heard it features 256 Players and you saw a CGI trailers. Then it's suddenly a direct competitor to a realistic combat simulator?

256 Players sounds decent, but I can just imagine the overall look and feel of the game and dodgy hit-detection when you need to compensate for that many players :s

I'll wait till I see some real Gameplay footage and perhaps some previews.

GoW 3 confirmed

Resistance 2 looking awesome

inFAMOUS looking good

MAG unveiled

Video store going up tonight (Yeah, USA for now...)

LBP looking like it's progressing well

A glimpse at game rooms within Home

Flower/Siren and some other PSN titles look pretty good

PSP is still getting good support

PS2 is still going

PS3 80GB price cut to $399.

Not a bad conference, glad it didn't turn into a casual gaming fest which I expected.

By the way, those upset at Killzone 2, it has a 30 min developer walkthough on IGN Live in about an hour or so. I'll be watching!

Large scale combat taking place in a single world.

Sounds like the same sort of thing to me.

[Ayepecks]

Oh, better than Nintendo, but I still don't feel it was good. Sony really messed up with this one. Normally they do a much better job.

[Tech Star]

Eh, not the best conference, but Nintendo's are always worse.

[magik]

MAG sounds really cool, but as of now it's nothing but another Sony promise. All we saw as a CGI trailer and an amazing idea. I really hope it delivers because a game like that would be my determining factor for a PS3 purchase, no doubt!

[popisdead uk]

Overall E3 has been a big disappointment for me. One big bit of news (FF on 360) makes no odds to me in the slightest.

Armed Assault has nothing to do with a big persistent battle, it's just based on a big island and filled with missions and campaigns. Multiplayer supports like 64 Players.

They are miles apart.

[CY:G]

All in all i think it was a good conference, not great/excellent, just good...

In my opinion it was the best conference of them all, they should have left the GoW 3 announcement in the end tho...

[magik]

I think Microsoft get's the nod, easily, in comparison to the conferences.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Apart from GOW3 and Infamous, it was an absolutely crap conference.

[CY:G]

even though M$ had the FF13 bomb in the end, all the crap they talked about casual games killed it for me.

They appeal to the same audiences so I don't see how they are.
