Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Yea, this will probably devolve into the usual console war bullshit, but I thought people might want to share a few honest observations if their into that....
-This is the biggest opportunity for the console makers to just flat out lie about upcoming hardware. No one knows much of anything yet. Sony seems to have lied the most and impressed the most. It seems REALLY fucking troubling that the next Xbox is launching in 6 months and no one thinks the games look that great and everything is running on early alphas. Nintendo is essentially walking around with an empty, pretty box and this funny lie seems the most honest to me. At least they haven't shown too many fake games or given questionable specs for people to lie to each other about.
-IGN is flat out unreliable. Whether it's their bad reviews, rip-off "insider" coverage, or sucking off to travesties like Perfect Dark or an empty Revolution. They seem to do everything possible to discredit themselves at every available opportunity.
-Zelda seems like the best playable console game. And yet....I may be alone in this...the whole werewolf thing is potentially a jumping the shark moment. More than cell shading. I crack up every time I think about it.
-The DS is a lot more interesting than the PSP at this show. Doesn't anyone think that's sort of odd? Where is the really good PSP software that doesn't involve racing or cars? The DS looks like it's about to burst with a flood of good software.
-Sonic Rush might be great but Shadow sure looks bad. Sega seems to be all over the place, but their games don't look that great for the most part. VF5 for the win?
-Collossus looks like the latest game in an increasing list (Killzone, GT4, etc.) that are suffering from being on the PS2 technically. They really need the next gen technically for some of their developers. And Killzone was never a good game, no matter how much you like the new movie.
-Don't you kind of feel like the bullshit sessions about new hardware has stolen the thunder from getting more immediate info about games we're actually going to play this year? That will probably change today and tomorrow but it's a little bit of a bummer since the hardware talk is so much bullshit.
