"I noticed that Kojima's presentation on the Microsoft show seemed very scripted, like he was reading from a teleprompter, whereas his presentation on the Sony show seemed more natural. I also found it kind of interesting how he went out of his way to point out how the Sony title was a TRUE part of the MGS storyline, how he wrote the script and directed it personally, how it was NOT a spinoff and how it was exclusive to Playstation Portable."-Some Cow

 srsly....

NATAL, maaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd potential to make games a more complete experience, but you're still gonna need a controller for most games (especially fps and competitive fighters). The voice recognition stuff alone is worth it...imagine the interactions with NPC's in games if all had Milo's A.I....*drools*fat_rob

Molyneux is so notorious for blowing smoke up everyone's ass... that Milo thing will be nothing like how it was shown.

Euro gamer already has played with the thing and detailed its limitations. It is common sense on our part to assume that this AI is not going to be as advanced as it appeares, but it uses tricks to make it seem more advanced. That could be useful in games where situations are not as open ended as Milo. While fighting a hoard of Elites for instance, you are not going to ask Cortana about her day or feelings, but you may want to engage in some actual dialouge with her about surrounding events in the game and that dialouge, while slightly scripted, could be really dynamic and fresh if it used the Milo tech.

The Last Guardian looks great, kinda makes me wish I got a PS3. It's by the guys who did Ico and Shadow of the Colossus which were pretty amazing imo.TheAbstrakt

[QUOTE="HaSheeSh_basic"]dat new splinter cell is amazingfat_rob

and splinter cell is a dope game.

im curious about how the multiplayer is gonna be if any

gameplay wise splintercell>any metal gear except 4

The only thing that I'm interested on the PS3 is GOW just because I've played the first two numerous times and beat them both on God/Titan mode.

I'm a big Halo fan so ODST looks really awesome. Assassins Creed 2 looks pretty good but those are the only real things I'm interested in.

I would like to get a PS3 but the price is still to high imo, im hoping for a price drop soon so i can get one.

Mkavanaugh77

Same, their exclusives are nice. They might be making a PS3 Slim so I'll wait to see if that happens.

fail.

Although Conviction does look like it's gonna be dope. I liked Chaos Theory but MGS is just better.

Hey so this whole E3 thing... what was yous guys' favorite press conference? I didn't watch the 360 one in entirety, but I watched most of the important stuff and I really liked it. Sony one was alright but I don't own a PS3 so it's hard to enjoy that one. Didn't watch the Nintendo one... I own a Wii but I NEVER play it.TheHimura

I watched them all on G4 and of the 3, I liked the Sony one the most. I only a PS3 though because I sold my Wii and XBox360 about a year ago. Of those 2, I liked Nintendo the most only because they announced a new Golden Sun for DS. Other than that, I though it was bad.

 The Sony conference has some big suprises for me. I wasn't expecting Mod Nation Racers or The Agent although they didn't release any info then. They have now. I knew about these games, but they looked amazing: The Last Guardian, MGS: Peace Walker, GOWIII and Uncharted 2.

I liked the Sony one because of their references to a lot of their news leaking. I thought it was funny/cool that they took that stuff lightly and poked fun at it... plus Jack Tretton is just a cool guy.

Yea, he is. The Nintendo guy and lady aren't very good orators imo. I just think they look goofy up there. 360 had good cameos with Steven Spielberg and the 2 Beatles, but they didn't really contribute anything other than their appearence. I guess that's all Microsoft wanted. 

Wow. I just watched the Xbox show. WOW.

They are truly revolutionizing everything in the industry. I thought Nintendo was doing a lot with the DS and Wii, but daaaaamn. MS is really breaking the walls with their new stuff. Natal = the future of gaming. 

lol at there even being a Sony conference lol. Sony who? PS3 is garbage with barely any good games that are exclusive, all its shooters are better fit to the 360 and it does nothing new. Honestly, the gaming industry is one big beef between Nintendo and MS right now. I lol'd hard when that dude who designed Natal took a shot at the Wii...

I am dumbfounded by your comments. I hate to make this seem like a SW thread, but to blatantly call a console garbage that has more quality exclusives(this is fact, look at metacritic) is a bit innaccurate. I'm trying to sound PC because apparently some of you get offended by me and report me(snitches) as I was just recently suspended because of a comment on these boards, but when someone makes such blind comments as these, it's hard.

Killsone 2 for one could not be made for 360 with the same quality as the devs said. Also better fitted just means you prefer the 360 controller...guess what, not everyone does. Opinions are not facts. Sony has some of the best in house development teams and they put out a lot of top quality exclusives. I could make a long list but it is pointless. I always say to each his own because what someone likes is up to that individual, but don't go blindly bashing a console when you don't provide legitimate reasoning for why you feel this way. You come of as a fanboy and childish.

I agree, the PS3 has a lot of exclusives but only 1/3 them are actually great. Hell I haven't touched the thing since april.

As I said to each his own. I can name plenty of exclusives that are rated high and imo top notch. I once had all 3 systems to determine which one i liked...I ended up selling my Wii and 360 because neither of them offered me the kind of quality games and variety of games I wanted to play. Killzone 2 is not overated...that is your opinion not fact.

Here's a list of exclusives I feel are good games(some great):

MGS4

KZ2

Resistance 1 and 2

Motorstorm and Motorstorm PR

MLB The Show 09(if you like baseball and haven't played this you're missing out)

inFamous

Uncharted

Folklore

Valkyria Chronicles

R&C both the PSN one and the first one on PS3

Little Big Planet 

Ninja Gaiden Sigma(technically it is an exclusive)

Disgaea 3

Heavenly Sword

Warhawk 

All of these are rated well on metacritic. I have enjoyed all of them. No other console could have offered me this kind of catalogue along with all the multiplats that are out. It's that simple for me. If you don't enjoy these games, then that's fine by me, but don't try to say they are garbage especially if you have never played them. Opinions should only be made on your experiences...not what your friends tell you. Also these are games already out not unreleased. Notice I haven't bashed either the Wii or the 360.

Says the guy with MischaBarton as their username...really? 

My comments are blind because I think that the PS3 is a poor gaming console with poor exclusives? :|

That is called my opinion. It is a unique thing that all people have. 

Most of the games you listed are meh at best and don't even begin to stand up to the 360 or Wii lineup.

Who is this character?

All you said was it was trash...where's the reason in that? List your complaints and I'll argue with you if that's what you want. Also I am not making fun of your name to insult you, I just find it funny. IMO I don't find her attractive or to be a good actress. Maybe I should use emoticans to get the point across.

I happen to love KZ2 and find myself playing it a lot. The multiplayer is intense and is rewarding to play imo. List your reasoning behind your opinions, and we can discuss it but to just call something trash is not a valid argument or worth me given you reasons why it is not. As I said before, this is all subjective. We all have our own opinions on what we like and what we don't like...some of us are able to better articulate it though. When you provide valid reasoning, I'll respond with what I find to be valid myself.

This CM dude makes me lol hard. He says I come off as a fanboy but he is the one pulling his hair out over someone disliking PS3 and saying it sucks :lol:.

360 controller = better for shooters than the PS3 one. I don't even see how it's a competition.

PS3 has barely any good exclusives.

360 has a MUCH more promising future (both games, community and hardware wise) while PS3 is offering little in each of those categories. 

Must I go on?

Who said I came here to argue :lol: ? I don't give a hell what you think about the systems or games in general. I was just pointing out that I think the PS3 is horrible and that offers very little in comparison to the 360. Chill out and drop it lol...

elpooz

Your opinions are just that yours. All I am saying is that to make comments like what I highlighted is inaccurate. All the games I listed have good ratings on metacritic(takes into account all the ratings a game has received) and in fact stand up to the Wii and 360 catalogues in quality. If you read what I said you would see I said most of this is subjective. None of you have provided reasons for your opinions. All you have done is call a high quality system poor with no evidence or reasoning. Make some sense. Have you played all the games I have listed? If you haven't, then your OPINION is lacking credibility.

I believe I am cmpepper23 on these boards if you want to characterize me.

:lol: Now I know what Colt and Cali mean when they say I should just shut up and stop taking things so seriously :lol:

NO ONE REALLY CARES. I'm not even going to start to explain how much better the 360 and Wii catalogue is, or how much more they offer as whole systems. Keep telling yourself the PS3 is better and has better games ;). Whatever makes you happy...

Moving on.

i'm picking up a DSi soon guys. Anything I should know about the system in general? And if anyone has one can they tell me what games are really worth playing?

I want...

• Chinatown wars
• the world ends with you
• partners in time
• mario kart ds
• phantom hourglass
• pokemon platinum
• animal crossing
• new super mario bros
• super mario 64 DS
• the FF12 game

elpooz

If you want a discussion please do.

I liked the 360 controller. It was comfortable, but I still prefer the PS controller because I am more used to it.

I listed the exclusives I found to be good already. Future exclusive look to be great as well. The new metroid game does interest me. List some you like from you console of choice.

Detemining which has the more a promising future is really up to the person using the console. In my case the PS3 has a more promising lineup of games and I find the hardware to better because I use it for bluray movies often. Community wise, I like PSN because it's free and I still manage to find people to play with.

See that was easy. No one has to pull their hair out as you say.

I want...

• Chinatown wars - I've yet to play it, but want to. It was on sell for $20 awhile back so I am waiting to see if this happens again before I pay full price.
• the world ends with you - Good game
• partners in time
• mario kart ds - If you like mariokart you'll like this
• phantom hourglass
• pokemon platinum - I played diamond and this is diamond and pearl put together so yea it's good.
• animal crossing
• new super mario bros - this game is fun but does not las long and the replay value isn't that high
• super mario 64 DS
• the FF12 game

 atm.

elpooz

I'll move on as well, but my point was there is no need to insult other consoles. Be an enthusiast of the one you like and be done with it. When you insult or degrade something that people enjoy people will defend it. 

Other DS games I would suggest are FFIV, ChronoTrigger, any of the Ace Attorney games are good, Professor Layton is a fun puzzle game and at E3 they announced a new Golden Sun. Both GSs on advance were really good.

1. Yea I probably shouldn't have commented on it like that but oh well my bad.

2. I can live with that. Personally I enjoyed the campaign. It was intense and action packed. I like the gameplay but to each his own. IMO Modern Warfare is not a good game, but that is more because I don't like it when a company spits a new edition out every year and expects me to buy it. I know it's different from WAW, but to me the are only changing the setting. My friends love them though. Hypocritcal I know because i buy sports games pretty regularly but sports are an addiction for me. I have yet to play the orange box, but I have played HalfLife and I enjoy it. When I had my 360, the only games I liked was GeOW, GRAW, and FIFA World Cup 2006 but there wasn't much out back then.

I'm glad you are sensible and don't overload me with lols and emoticons.

[QUOTE="cmpepper23"]I'm glad you are sensible and don't overload me with lols and emoticons.iHeartCali

Now I know. 

I can agree with that but modern warfare is amazing, the infinity ward games, cod, cod2, cod4, and modern warfare 2. waw and cod 3 arent nearly as good. so I only consider it getting them out ever 2 years.mischa_barton

Word. All the IW COD games have been amazing. COD2 and COD4 are both amazing FPS. I don't think WAW is bad, but that game has SERIOUS balance issues with the multiplayer, whearas I've had MW since it was released and I still play it pretty regularly. WAW is flawed as hell.
