This was possibly one of the biggest disappointment ever. I mean Nintendo's are always bad but this was a joke.

The Microsoft keynote blew this away entirely. It is worrying for Sony really.

Worrying, how? They have shown some good titles that will be coming out.

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

I kinda doubt it. Arma2 looks to be a tad disappointing so far. Very few details about it. And recommended system specs for the PC version say Quad core? That's a load of ****. How is it going to be that important when the damn OS it runs on doesn't even properly interact with multi-core systems?

If you've played the previous games, OFP/ArmA, you'd see why the requirements are so high.

The game is so gorgeous and huge, you'll need a killer PC. Specially since ArmA 2 is gonna use VBS2.

Yeah I know...

GoW3 announced

RFOM2 and inFAMOUS shown to be looking awesome

DC Online MMO announced - No other console has a good MMO

80GB coming back, and at a cheaper cost of $399 (Was $499 previously)

Video Store going up tonight and you can buy movies (In SD yeah...)

MAG unveiled

LBP looking awesome

Home gaming rooms unveiled

If you own a PS3, hardly anything to get worried about. No they didn't bring in Jesus to announce FF7, but if you expected that, then :laugh:

What happened to the FF7 remake??!?!?! Lol....

Couldn't really watch the whole thing as I am work. But it looks to be about on par with Microsoft's E3 showing in terms of content. The only difference is that MS showed informative demos, while Sony mainly relied on videos and boring talk. MAG, if done right, could be huge for Sony. But seriously, whoever at Sony designed the conference should get fired. The pacing, the presentation (aside from LBP business level) are all wrong; and where is the enthusiasm?

Worrying in that this was supposed to be THE year for Sony. It was supposed to be the year of the game for them, and then they show how many PS3 games? It's a letdown, to be sure. Sure, they had some good announcements, like God of War 3, but nothing major. For the year that many people have been proclaiming to be Sony's make or break year -- yourself included, I believe -- it's disappointing. As someone who is considering buying a PS3, it's disappointing. I wanted some reasons for me to get one (specifically more good exclusive games)... and they really didn't give me any.

QFT, but nobody expects any different from him.

The year is 2008.

Half of the stuff you're expecting to come out, like FF7, would never come in 2008.

Dunno how you can ignore 80GB at $399, video store launching tonight, MAG being unveiled along side GoW3. Plus we actually got to see a decent clip of 2008 title RFOM2.

We'll see how things sit at the end of the year, right now Sony is on top in America and Japan. Dunno about Europe.

Audio, not to sound rude, but you were the one on here who was always proclaiming this to be the year of Sony and now you're backing off on that? Come on, man. A bigger capacity PS3 is no different than a bigger capacity 360, and I've said the 360 going to 60GB isn't exactly huge news either. I mean, they're both good for new buyers, but how is it big news?

Sorry, but these games have been shown at E3 for 2 years now, and still aren't released. There is no more excuses, they have screwed up so much.

RFOM2, LBP, MS2 are just around the corner. Sony weren't suppose to show them?

What does that mean?

Because I found the conference pretty good I'm wrong?

Clearly.

I found the conference dull, but the line up of games and new features coming are great. People see and hear what they want too, that's the problem. According the usual suspects the MS conference has blown Sony away - how exactly has it done this? MS have revealed more sequels and nothing really new. Sony have shown brand new games.

It's swings and roundabouts.

Proclaiming?

You make me sound like God, awesome! :D

I dunno how 2008 will turn out, let's wait and see.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
