Can the Sony Press Conference beat MS Press Conference, honestly?

[QUOTE="MadExponent"]Discuss, this is a big topic now.TREAL_Since

It depends what games they announce.

I'd love to see a true Socom 4, a new Sly Cooper, or even better yet Everquest 3. It's going to be really difficult to offset this magnitude of a loss, it is almost the equivalent of nintendo losing the exclusive rights to Zelda or Mario.

Sony will probably just show titles we won't see till 2009 and 2010.Stevo_the_gamer

Notice the date. That was back in my Cow days, and when Haze still looked good. :|

If you *really* looked through my posting histroy as you claim, you'd know that I admitted my mistake a long time ago and even admitted my stupidness in my sig for a good month or two.

Got any more?

Dude, why are you bothering with him?

I don't even know... I have problems with people questioning my integrity in public. And the fact that he's digging though my past posts from early last year (when admitadly I WAS a cow) to claim that I'm STILL a cow gets to me.

I think MS's presser was very good because 90% of the stuff showed was all coming this year and had something for everyone. with the FFXIII bomb and alot of the 2008 PS3 exclusives going into 2009 I'm sitting here wondering what I'm actually going to buy this fall for my PS3.

I have a gut feeling we will see Tekken 6 tommorrow (with a release date hopefully this year) with atleast a timed exclusive period. This game has a ton of characters and I hope they all have CG endings for the home versions.

> Can the Sony Press Conference beat MS Press Conference, honestly?

Honestly, does it really matter? What is to be gained from speculating about this? Sony does not have to prove anything to anyone. If anything, I would be more interested in seeing how the unanswered questions that emerged

So FFXIII to Xbox 360, eh?

Ok, when? Similarly, when will the game come out on Playstation 3 in Japan? (I am worried that the game is going to get pushed back as far as Q2 2011)

How comparable to the Playstation 3 version will the Xbox 36 0 version be?

Will the Xbox 360 version see a release in Japan (this is a personal one of mine)?

Will Versus XIII also go to Xbox 360?

etc.

[QUOTE="aznfool07"]Anything can happen. I just hope Sony doesn't spend too much time on casual stuff.II-FBIsniper-II

Exactly! Too bad they are though.

Mike Hart has moved onto the NFL, so I'm probably going to be putting up a new sig soon anyways.

What're you? A Michigan State fan? Or... eck.... Ohio State? You better not be...

yes it cantheperson121

lol, how? Even if they announce that Halo 4 is a PS3 exclusive, that still wouldn't beat Microsoft's move.

I'm thinking of changing my sig...II-FBIsniper-II

As a rule, I do not converse with Ohio State fans. Also, does the name Maurice Clarett ring any bells?

Yes I realize I just broke my own rule.

[QUOTE="MadExponent"]

[QUOTE="II-FBIsniper-II"]Yes it can, but I don't know if it will. Microsoft press conference wasn't really that impressive. I was chatting with my cousin while watching it and half of the show we were saying "dumb" "don't care". The first part was nice. Middle was horrible. End was decent. All in all, n33d5 m04r halo.Metsvideogame

Supposedly the next Bungie game follows a squad of UNSC Marines from the Halo universe. Be happy man.

you do notice the ticker right?

You do notice that Microsoft has a majority share in Bungie's stock. So unless Sony crept in the middle of the night and bought them, it won't happen.

And you do realize E3 is only 3 days this year, right? It has to fall on one of those days.

Face it, you're just a Sony fanboy hoping Bungie will make a game for your PS3. If you want to play a Bungie game, you'll just have to buy a 360

Are you kidding? Sony has about 7-8 exclusives lined up to be talked about at the press conference. They have it in the bag.

M$ press conference was par. I'm sure all the lemmings liked it b/c they peed them selves when they announced ff for the 360. But from a gamer's stand point it was complete trash. They only had one exclusive. They spent about 5 minutes on it.

And who said the Bungie game will be for 360? They broke away from them for some reason.

NinjaSkills247

You are right. They broke off to make more of the profit from their games.

Hm? Pardon?

Well, in the eyes of system wars Sony could easily beat MS's conference. In my eyes they also can, but it will be much more difficult. MS talked about a huge update to live and the dashboard, as well as a host of games that will be out this year or first quarter of next year. I mean Gears 2, Fable 2, Banjo Kazooie N&B, Portal Still Alive, Viva Pinata 2 for exclusives, plus Rock Band 2, Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Resident Evil 5, Fallout 3. The list goes on and on.

Why I say "in the eyes of system wars" is because Sony could come out and talk about 3 or 4 titles that won't see the light of day for two or more years like they have done in the past and people will say "Wow, that was so much better than MS's conference. They talked about new IPs and Games!" But in my mind, the only way they can trump MS is to announce features and/or titles that will counter MS in the next year.

I mean everyone was talking about how X360 had "nothing after Halo 3" because of the lack of new titles at E3 last year, but here we are in 2008 and it looks like MS is poised to have a fall/holiday lineup that is just as good if not better than PS3's. For Sony to earn my respect they need to show stuff that will differentiate PS3 from X360 this holiday, not stuff that could differentiate it two years from now.

i seen your haze post from last year..it says you had 3840 post...now it says you have 3851?? you only posted now 11 post in one year?

blazinpuertoroc

Oh. Going back and looking at old posts doesn't scale back the post count. I may have had like just 500 posts back when that post was made, but it will show my current post count regardless of the date that post was made.

Final Fantasy 13 was too much of a hit for Sony to bounce back. Still I hope that they at least have something planned to counter attack.

K, to all those confused about the Bungie situation: Bungie is still on good terms with Microsoft, they just don't HAVE to make 360 exclusive games. And Microsoft themselves owns the Halo license. Bungie could start making tons of PS3 exclusives hypothetically (though they'd have no reason to start burning bridges) and Microsoft could hire freaking EA Sports to make Halo 4, but it won't happen.

FF13 was HUGE. Some kid posted it on the IGN boards before IGN did and everyone I knew thought he must be trolling.

Here's why I like Microsoft's conferences more. They talk about stuff that will all happen either this year or VERY EARLY next year (except for Final Fantasy, but they already had Square Enix people up there so that was logical). All the stuff for next year/the year after is still talked about, but not at the Microsoft conference. What was Sony's conference last year? Home and Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet? If Sony starts talking about things they won't be talking about still at NEXT YEAR'S E3, I'll start paying attention to them.

I still don't think it was stellar. I could care less about avatars/new Dashboard. Netflix, new Banjo, NEW PORTAL, the original Banjo on XBLA got me excited. Other than that, Fable 2, exclusive content for Fallout 3, and Gears 2, like everything was multiplatform news. And those system exclusive news don't matter to me as much: I loved the prequels to those games, so I'm buying them regardless.

On a side note, Rock Band 2 > GH World Tour.

GH World Tour: You have to shell out ANOTHER $170 on instruments that are unnecesarily different from Rock Band's. By the end of the year, you'll have 100 total songs with DLC. You can make your own music, but it pretty much does for GH what Forge did for Halo - no one except hardcore people will use it.

Rock Band - You DON'T have to shell out more money for instruments. Buying the disc alone will get you 84 tracks immediately and 20 free DLC. By the end of the year you'll have 500 total songs with DLC. Oh, and we'll be out sooner. QED Red Octane.

God Of War 3, Heavy Rain

Not-A-Stalker

i really wanna see GoW3 but i wanna hear more details about Heavy Rain - that game is gonna be awesome

I can't believe "yes" is winning the poll. What do you guys expect to be announced that would outdo FFXIII going multiplat?

FFVII, come on, we've been hearing that for years. It's just not going to happen. And why would they release FFVII on PS3 only but not other platforms, anyway?

So, no, probably not. I just expect some footage of upcoming games.

Microsoft showed footage of a bunch of games we already knew about, and announced yet another exclusive they stole from Sony

If Sony just showed off 1 new exclusive they would outdo that.

Hey I never said I expected Sony to do it

Only Nintendo announces new exclusives at E3

so now 360 is getting FF13, but so does PS3

as long as Sony can still show some of its own exclusives, I think PS3 is gonna be ok

games like Killzone2, God of War 3, GT5, Resistance2, and Tekken6

there's still a lot to see

You mean, Cause a complete meltdown with a gigaton exceeding that of yesterday?

Hmm, i think if the Sony exec utters the words "Blizzard Entertainment" in relation to something (WOW or Diablo III console exclusive) then its game over.

I think they can, however I doubt Sony will show off any of their RPG's until the Tokyo Gameshow.

So here's what I hope they'll show off,

• Killzone 2 + release date
• Home + release date
• Resident Evil 5 gameplay demo, (make sure they are allowed more time on stage)
• Resistance 2 + release date
• Infamous + release date
• LittleBigPlanet + release date
• GT5 with vehicle damage + release date.
• Motorstorm 2 + release date
• Tekken 6 + release date

And finally, the big one,

• God of War 3 trailer

That would be a great E3 for Sony :)

Not unless they Pay Square Enix to cancel the 360 version of Final Fantasy...BlackNine11

That would be Hilarious :lol:

Why don't you expect an announcement? Not necessarily FF VII, but you think Wada flew to Los Angeles just for Microsoft and nothing for Sony?

Short answer: No.

Unless they secure gears 2 or something, which is impossible.

Yes Sony can top MS Conference. I really think they're going to announce a FFVII remake....I mean why would you have a tech demo of PS1 game running on the PS3 for no reason. In that case, let see how would Dino Crisis look on the PS3 just for fun, heck lets see Resident Evil 2 running on the PS3. They did the tech demo for a reason

As much as i want it, i dont think a tech demo is enough evidence of a remake. Lets not forget, when the PS2 launched, they had a Final Fantasy VIII tech demo, and that never came to fruition as a remake.
