Sony E3 Conference livestream thread

[TripleA]

TripleA, SC, and Methodis faggotry has made it impossible to look in this thread.  Can anyone tell me what was announced so I can avoid the gaming board for a few more weeks?

You're confusing faggotry with reality.

[cool breeze]

what am I looking at

[TripleA]

Yeah, I think I will go back to the playstation. I don't enjoy a lot of what the xbox has to offer outside USA. Halo, gears and fable? I don't play any of them. No netflix or espn, don't use zune, twitter and facebook are useless. Gran Turismo, God of War, Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Heavy Rain are games that I enjoy.

I'm sorry, but are you saying Uncharted is better than Kinectimals?

*RAGES*

[fistfulofmetal]

In order:

Microsoft: 4/10 - Buncha Kinect bullshit that I don't care about. Biggest problem is that it doesnt seem like it can carry a game on it's own. Coupling a controller plus the camera? Sure. The games the showed up front where cool. Enjoyed the Halo: Reach video but nothing really stellar. Rising was interesting

Nintendo: 3/10 - The only thing in the entire show I cared about was the new Metroid. Nothing else was interesting.

Sony: 7/10 - Games. They showed games. Sure some of them where multiplat but I got to see games and I'm happy. Plus Kevin Butler was funny. I don't really care about the Move stuff but I think it's more likely we'll get better games out of it than Kinect. Sorcery looked kinda interesting, kinda. GABE NEWELL WAS LIKE WHAT. But talking about Portal 2 at a Sony conference  is completely uninteresting because... well... that's a PC game. Still cool to see some footage of it. Then Infamous 2 trailer was cool and yep, Twisted Metal.

Day 1, the Wii Zapper is quite effective.

This will be as well.

Dead Space 2 for the PS3 will exclusively have Dead Space Extraction on the same disk.

Medal of Honor will have exclusive BEARDS..

A short Portal 2 trailer.  Apparently Steam will also be on PS3 now at least for things like saving your game to a cloud server and patching.  Gabe apologized for his comments on PS3 development.

Move will cost $120 for one person or $370 for four.  A new PS3 bundle will have one Move controller stuffamabobs for $399.

A new Twisted Metal.  It doesn't look bad for what it is.

Gran Turismo 5 will come out this November and Killzone 3 will come out next February.

It is for me, my 6 years old sister might have a different opinion though.

God you cry like a bitch. I've been involved in all of the, what, last three pages?

and at all the fucking dick toters rushing to help their boy out. How's about he just read the thread from the beginning instead of being a lazy twat?

[Beezy]

Move will cost $120 for one person or $370 for four.

$130 for one person.

What was so atrocious about Sony's 2006 E3 briefing?

I... I have no idea?

[TripleA]

Interesting.

Score-wise, for me, it would probably be:

Nintendo: 10/10. Everything was perfect save for the minor technical difficulties at the start. 3DS will be the trojan horse for 3D in the portable space, bet on it.

Sony: 7/10. 1st hour was very boring, 2nd hour was very good.

Microsoft: 2/10. Maybe if I had gone to the Poncho event and got a free Xbox Slim I would "get" Kinect. As it stands, I firmly believe Kinect has the ability to undo 5 years of extraordinarily hard work.

I found both Nintendo and Sonys conferences to be, for the most part, disappointing.  While Nintendo started strong out the gate with a waggle catastrophe for the ages, the remainder of the show was uncharacteristically corn free.  Reggies snaggle tooth was amusing, as was that completely tone deaf 3DS add.  Bowser charring off Reggies screaming face was probably a few notes more unsettling than was intended.  Overall C-

Sony's show was also for the most part kitsch free.  I was really looking forward to an hour long glowing dildo minstrel-show disaster but not one of the presentations came off as over-the-top.  The best Sony had to offer came at the very end when that horribly dated Twisted Metal clown was wheeled on stage for no reason, and Jaffe flapped his gums for 5 hours.  Overall C

Microsofts show was a much better example of what I hoped every conference would put on the table.  Nearly every segment offered something either desperately image conscious and/or awkward for the viewer.  At one moment full on dude-bro and the next fabulously metro, I loved everything about the MS conference.  The emphasis on GIF-generating spectacle over actual game footage was inspiring to watch. Overall A-

EA conference. The Sundance of videogame conferences?  Couldn't tell you, but I can't remember even one act of misguided exhibitionism. Yawn. Overall D+

Finally the Ubisoft conference.  If you missed any of E3s major conferences THIS IS THE ONE TO SEE.  Watch Joel McHale enter the heart of darkness as New Age flim-flam and Corporate-Sponsored Anarchy makes everything you knew about game design more radical.  Half-way through the conference McHale loses it and begins lashing out at the presenters with insults.  The cherry on the sunday is the "remember Michael Jackson?!?!" closer.  Overall A+

[Saint Cornelius]

Ironic Iconic hipster battle between Corny and Cohen! 

I'm too old to be an ironic hipster. But seriously, all this fucking guy does is whine whine whine. You should see him in the icon forum (actually, no you shouldn't. Your time is best spent doing anything, anything else)

If this is for real then FUCK YES

Once she has quenched puberty, show her this thread and explain to her why her love for Kinectimals was distinguished mentally-challenged.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Duckman: have you upgraded your HD on your 360?

Even if you've upgraded and done the transfer tool, if your HD shits out or your 360 breaks, you don't get to acess ANY of YOUR content that YOU bought ofr a year.

Yeah, that ain't right.  I've tranfered to different HDs and different 360s and I still have access to my content.

I don't know where you boys are getting your info from.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I don't think you guys understand the significance of having Gabe fucking Newell, one of the biggest industry heads, come on stage infront of MILLIONS OF PEOPLE and APOLOGIZE. APOLOGIZE. GABE NEWELL. APOLOGIZE.

[duckman2000]

He didn't apologize, wtf

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Apologize?  WTF are you talking about?

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Him showing up was apologizing for his comments about PS3.

[duckman2000]

Urgh. Alright, that's it, I'm out of here for another month or two.

edit: are we sure that methodis isn't in fact Borys?

[MCD]

he just dumped a free pc game on the ps3

[MyNameIsMethodis]

He said it was the superior version on the superior console when in the past this man said the PS3 was shit.

I guess if you're a xbot it's more impressive to have moneyhats thrown around to your favorite journalists.

[TripleA]

:'(

[CajoleJuice]

sylar is a master

[brawndolicious]

I guess if you're a xbot it's more impressive to have moneyhats thrown around to your favorite journalists.

Well they obviously paid for the exclusive EA content in MoH and DS2.  Who cares about those things is the question.  Steam itself doesn't seem to really add any incentive for a PS360 owner unless it's for free DLC.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Him showing up was apologizing for his comments about PS3.

I'm sure Gabe's appearance had more to do with Sony filling his wallet with the monies than "apologizing" to a horde of fucking nutjobs about what he thinks about the PS3.

I swear the Nfags have formed Voltron with the Sony brownshirts today making one ignorant fucking bitch.

[cool breeze]

Move will cost $120 for one person or $370 for four.

$130 for one person.

only $100 actually ($70 if you don't mind holding a dual shock)

correct me if I'm wrong, but the Playstation eye is $20 (I bought it for $18 2 years ago) + $50 wand + $30 nunchuck

the bundle includes Sports Champions, which seems like it will be $40 on its own.

but technically it would cost $150 to get the "full" move experience since some games have options to use two move controllers


btw, they were just showing portal 2 gameplay on TV.  looks really awesome.  tons of new mechanics.

[Eel O'Brian]

can you still use the sixaxis analog stick with the move instead of buying the chuk?

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

can you still use the sixaxis analog stick with the move instead of buying the chuk?

Even if you could, would you want to?  That'd be incredibly awkward.

[fistfulofmetal]

to save 30 bucks? sure why not

[Eel O'Brian]

nah, i checked it out when they first mentioned it last year, felt fine for me although i could see where some wouldn't care for it

[TripleA]

Taken from the other board



 I love it 

[Eel O'Brian]

for some games requiring a lot of flailing it would probably be awkward, but for a standard shooter sitting on the couch it should be fine (again, for me)

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

to save 30 bucks? sure why not

Just seems like it'd be a bitch to hold the move wand in one hand while trying to manipulate the sixaxis stick in the other.  Personally, I'd rather spend the 30 bucks on the sub-controller.

[Eel O'Brian]

i want to spend as little as possible in case i hate it

[cool breeze]

to save 30 bucks? sure why not

yeah, I'm probably going to get a wand but I won't drop $30 on a subcontroller right away.

[maxy]

That'd be incredibly awkward.

Can someone give me a summary of what was shown? I just got home from work and missed the whole thing.

[cool breeze]

Bundle only comes with glowing dildo thing,no analog

Bundle is the wand, a game, and the camera.

when I'm saying $100, I'm including the nunchuck, but removing the game.

[Eel O'Brian]

Yeah, because I fucking LOVE Kinect.

they've been flailing around with these gifs (seriously?  given all there was to work with, these are the best gifs out there?) like they're playing a kinect game for the last few pages

[Eel O'Brian]

Pseye retails for $40, but you can find it for $30 if you hunt around, and I got mine for $25 used

[maxy]

Sfags are secret Kinect lovers,they will all buy it(secretly)

Imagine if Kinect was Sony stuff...boom

Ah,i see...my apologies

[cool breeze]

geez, that's more than I thought.

Ah,i see...my apologies

nah, my fault.  I thought they announced the PS eye was $20 after price drop a while back.  Guess it's still $40 (checked amazon and it's $33).

fwiw Kinect is a better value if you have nothing

[Eel O'Brian]

this is the only reason to own a PSEye, they ought to just go ahead and permanently drop the price

[TripleA]

Hopefully there will be a discount (or two) before Move comes out 

[Shurs]

I liked a lot of it, but it would have been nice to see The Last Guardian, Gran Turismo 5 gameplay footage, plus SOCOM 4 and Motorstorm demos. I would've also liked to have seen more info about the MMO's coming to PS3 this year, including whether or not they'll be free to play. Plus a Team Ico collection would've been great.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

All these Move wands and Kinect sensor bars are going to look awesome next to your Sega CD, Super Game Boy, SuperScope 6, Sega 32x, Nintendo 64DDs, etc.

Just awesome.

[Eel O'Brian]

i hope my PSEye still works, it's been catching dust by the TV ever since I spent an hour trying to line up pictures for my shitty LBP level

[BlueTsunami]

I'm really diggin' the look of the way Tiger Woods handles with Move. Looks very exact. Give me Hots Shots Golf: Move!

[Eel O'Brian]

I just want to point at shit and shoot it and make pew-pew noises

[Brehvolution]

I'm glad I still have my pseye from the game Eye of Judgment that I never played.

[BlueTsunami]

Man, what happened to that "Augmented Reality" shit they hyped out a year or two back. Oh Sony
