E3 2008 Sony Conference
- Thread starter gofreak
- Start date
Well, that was boring. They had two interesting sections (resistance 2 and the LBP demo which was awesome), but the MS conference was miles ahead as it kept me interested throughout - opened with 4 amazing games, went on to some casual stuff which was at least showing me stuff, the dashboard redesign and then the 'megaton' at the end.
Didn't watch the Nintendo one, but by all accounts it was dreadful.
Happy about Quest for Booty, but was gutted that nothing about Jak4/Uncharted was unveiled. I <3 ND

Hard to believe that the biggest announcement this E3 was a Final Fantasy port. No amazing new IPs, no new Bungie game, nothing. And since I don't give a shit about FF, this E3 was absolutely pointless to me.
I must have missed the live demos of Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5 with co-op announcement, Fable 2, Gears of War 2; the trailers and information for Viva Pinata 2, Banjo, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean, The Last Remnant, Rock Band; the reveals of Geometry Wars 2, Galaga, South Park; plus the casual stuff.
But you guys are right. PS Triple's about the gamezzz.

I hope you're right about TGS. As someone who isn't a fan of shooters I have to say this conference didn't exactly make me want to rush out and buy a PS3. In fact, I found most of it quite boring.

My ratings:
They all fucking sucked.
Now we need to determine how much they sucked. Consider this inverse scale, where 1 = lowest possible suck and 10 = highest possible suck.
Sony = 4
Microsoft = 6
Nintendo = 11
That sums it up pretty nicely.

MAG sounds promising, but how many shooter franchises does Sony need? They seem to be so focused on waging a futile battle to capture the shooter market that they've left their back door wide open while the diverse library of games that sold many gamers on the PS2 are moneyhated away by MS.
The only things that excited me were some of the new PSP games, and Quest for Booty. I'm sure God of War 3 will be awesome but we all knew it was coming and a CGI teaser does nothing for me. As much of a fan of Insomniac as I am, the Resistance 2 gameplay demo paled in comparison to Gears of War 2.

Are you serious? Personally, I prefer to get news and ideas about new IP from 1st party studios, rather than 'now on our label too'-news.
MS would get a 5/10 from me without FF13. Nintendo... that was a joke.
Sony is a mixed bag. The PS3, with the exception of this intriguing MAG thing, did not get a lot of love. The PSP I think exceeded all expectations.
Overall winner: MS. Sony wins in terms of having the best presentation, but MS I think won it with their fatality.

It's also very telling that games like Re5, Rock Band, GHWT, and Fallout chose the MS conference to drop BIG feature news at THEIR conference. I was expecting Sony to do the same with something like Mirror's Edge or Bioshock PS3.

This is baffling. It looked close to release and now it hasn't been shown in quite some time.
Have they decided to make a full blu-ray title?

Guys, Sony totally takes this:
Resistance PSP
Patapon 2
Super Stardust PSP
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty
God of War III
Massive Action Game
Not to mention all the already announced stuff (LBP graphs = win).

True, and I agree with you, but that MS/FFXIII megaton will be talked about 157 years, eight months, and six days from now.doicare said:
That was the ultimate jack-move.
I'd go with :
Microsoft : B+
Sony: C-
Nintendo : F
Microsoft easily won though, it wasn't close. There were a lot of things we've already seen but it was game to game to announcement to announcement with not a lot of bullshit lecturing inbetween that encompassed a vast majority of Nintendo and Sony's conference. Sony had a lot more games to show than Nintendo. Wii Music was laughable.

:lol Oh this is better than yesterday.
One thing I have to know is why DC Universe looks like some terrible exaggerated block colour shit when all the recent success stories relating to comics licensing has been in the more realistic style?

Did I call it or did I call it. I had a hunch Sony would play the hardcore, tits n' ass, guns n' mullets to the max angle and showcase their wares in a stark contrast to what Microsoft and Nintendo showcased.
Microsoft had the better balance between all 3 conferences, so +1 to them.
So in return for losing FF13 exclusivity, we get CGI trailers of games everyone already knew were coming out? Does Sony ever learn?
They had the best presentation of the three, but I can't honestly say I'm that excited about the PS3's future. Don't care about MMOs... getting tired of all the shooters (is Sony trying to turn into the original Xbox?). Where are the Japanese games for the system? I really don't recall seeing a single one. The only non PSN title shown that seemed to have a hint of innovation was Little Big Planet, and we were shown nothing that we hadn't seen before on that.
Well Sony, say goodbye to cutting into the 360's lead. It's interesting how Microsoft will seemingly beat Sony to the punch at releasing a '3d' interface, despite Home being in development for several years.
The biggest announcements seemed to be playstation life, which I am hard pressed to say I really care about, and the video service... Both of which have little to do with PLAYstation. I'm not here for a multimediastation. I'm here for the games.

If you list FF13 with MS then they win.Slurmer said:
If you list them separately, MS had squat on Sony. Nothing unknown at all.
Microsofts conference was good, it was interesting and they showed great games with live demos. Gears2, Fallout 3, RE5, Fable 2 with trailers of banjo, vp2, the last remenant and the new interface, casual games, portal, old banjo games and other xbla stuff and the FF13 announcement
Nintenos conference was just lol
Sonys conference nearly put me to sleep, they showed resistance 2 and 1 or 2 trailers with too much talk, sure they have more systems to split time between but really that was so dull.
Microsoft = B
Sony = D
Nintendo = F
