Hitler Stole My Potato

Banned
The worm has turned tonight. I'm formally turning in my Xbox membership card and Microsoft underwear for some brand new Sony jackboots and a PS3 vest. I just can't get over what a fucking shitty conference that was. It was almost too painful to watch. Striker? Velocity Girl? Jesus Christ.

I'm out.
 
Do you realize that MS at least showed more "gameplay" footage and that the specs of the PS3 are not that high.

maybe I'm not with the majority but I'm not dissapointed with the xbox360, and if finally xbox360 doesn't deliver I think I will upgrade my return to PC gaming.

That's fantastic.

In your opinion, they had a bad conference. In your opinion, that's enough to drop support. Microsoft is probably saying "with friends like these..."
 
What a horrible horrible conference.

Rare is so fucked, I wonder what kind of heat they're getting from MS for PD looking like complete shit.

Xbox 360 = All fluff no substance

Where are the games?


SOMEONE PLEASE HAND ME A SONY UNIFORM
 
I'm actually really impressed with how well the Xbox 360 holds up to the PS3. Didn't think they'd pretty much be identical graphically.
 
I'll just repost from the other thread:

A console with a launch window that includes almost all major sports including a version of Madden not found anywhere else, a gorgeous and popular RPG (Oblivion), and NFS which looks very fun. Plus Kameo is looking very good, Odyssey looks incredible, a free Live package, PGR3, GoW, an absurdly good looking basketball game, and Ghost Recon are all coming out in the foreseeable future. I don't know how that is not considered to be impressive.

:lol

tempted... but i'll hold out a while longer ;)

but yeah, ps3 at launch looks to be set in stone
 
I'm really surprised by everyone's reactions so far. I'm extremely impressed by the package they put together between the Xbox media center capabilities, the next version of Xbox Live, the system power (although not nearly as powerful as PS3 it's still remarkable), the development package, the controller, and at least some of the games we've seen. This coming from a guy who owned an Xbox for a year and only bought two games...
 
:lol Comedy....... The real lesson here is that if your not a fanboy than you won't ever be disapointed, you just get whichever looks the best .....fuck brand loyalty, thats for suckers.
 
I'm OUT! :lol

But it's not a major surprise, my leading console has never been made by the same company 2 generations in a row.

Genesis, Nintendo 64, (Dreamcast), Xbox.

It's about time I give Sony a shot. I always hated their controller designs though.

You know when it's not impressive?

WHEN SONY PUTS ON THAT KIND OF A SHOW.

Someone post that Kutaragi picture, you know the one. Sony just kicked Microsoft's ass. And I was partial to X360 when the first hardware details were leaking out. I really thought Microsoft could take it to Sony. Forgive me Playstation, for I have sinned!
 
Did everyone forget were 6 months from launch? Would any of you fair weather fans like some cheese with that whine? MS will pull it all together, they were just more about stressing Xbox Live tonight and the community aspect. Gears of War was sick, DOA 4 was well done, Project Gotham looked hot, and Ghost Recon 3 looked darn good. Go ahead and wait another 18 months for PS3, by that time 360 will have a large selection of great games.

I thought the Xbot excuse for the poor showing on MTV was because "ALL GAMES ARE ON DEMO STATIONS" that use a dual processor G5 Mac and the latest ATI card.

:lol

Now, the games look better than the PS3 or just as good? Which is it?

And, why are the PS3 games "CG" despite the fact that at multiple points during the conference they specifically stated that they were in game? Seems like a classic case of denial and DC.

Tough, tough day for Xbots.
 
both are capable machines , just get both.
In the end of the day, there are gonna be excellent games on both.

Oh well, if they say they are, then they must be! EA said those renders were IN GAME as well, and we know they aren't! Both companies are full of tricks.

I'm all over the 360...but let me get one thing clear here. Microsoft is not my friend, it is a business and if they don't produce what I or someone else wants/needs...fuck em

Where are you getting the "bunch of CG" from? Most of the sources I've seen (such as IGN) indicate the demos were all real-time...and running quite smoothly.
 
Im disappointed with everything so far. So i'd gladly turn in my uniform only id have nothing else to wear.


MS presentation was a joke. Doesnt seem like they'll have anything worth buying the console for until Gears of War.

PS3 controller looks about as comfortable as a guillotine, and the console looks like a George Foreman grill. And as for games, sequels sequels sequels with no real information on any of them and i think i counted 3 seconds of real time footage in the killzone clip (impressive 3 seconds, but that wont change the fact that it's killzone).




Maybe nintendo will do better (at least they have one game i want coming out this year).
 
I thought the original xbox was doomed after that first E3. Its far to early to judge, 6 EA titles and a launch during the holiday season guarentees it will at least start well.

Puts on a show? I am talking about games.
 
This thread has lead me to ponder what will become of the xbox troll, the classic article, with all of his gamefaqs next-gen gaming forum newspeak now that Microsoft doesn't have a hardware advantage!
What's this internet cliche going to turn to now that all the medals and badges of hardware superiority have been stripped?
Obvious answer: Buy a PS3, or prepare to suffer!

Oh I know I'll end up buying them both. Hell, I probably even buy the Revolution too. But after watching that Killzone footage and looking at Warhawk, the 360 presentation just paled in comparison.
 
I didn't watch the conferences. Maybe that's why PS3 isn't making me swear off the 360; I wasn't subjected to the undiluted hype. I simply read a list of games announced and looked at screens, and the reality is, when you don't have heart-pumping music blaring in the background and on-stage pyrotechnics or whatever great presentation technique Sony used, the games look a lot like 360 games. I definitely don't want to see the conferences now, seeing what they have turned some of you into. I'd rather just see the product without being brainwashed by presentation.
 
Im sorry sir but its over. It was a pleasure serving with my xbot brothers but i have accepted defeat. I have been shamed to the point of no return by M$.

Preach on brother. It's all about games no matter the hardware
 
If you wanted to support just one console next gen I think a case could still be made for 360.

- Built in HD with native support in all games (PS3 doesn't build it in so maybe it will be ignored by many games)

- Much better controller with longer battery life I believe?

- Squenix games and by all accounts better 3rd party support than Xbox (which was already good) + great exclusives like GoW, Kameo, PGR3, Forza 2 and Halo 3

- Live (PS3 has nothing like it) with new features like PGR TV

- PS3 hasn't really shown anything that 360 couldn't do - the jury is still out on whether PS3 will in practice be able to pump out better graphics due to bandwidth limitations on it's GPU

- Will have Forza 2 and Halo 3

- Price points have not been announced - 360 may be cheaper.

- All the PS3 games so far are sequels to sequels to sequels. Many people may be sick of those franchises. Many people I know are sick of GTA.

So it's too early to write off MS yet. Can't wait to see how it sells at launch.

At this stage I think I'll get both. If I had to choose one at the moment - I'd probably lean towards PS3 simply because it is backwards compatible and I don't have a PS2, so I could pick up a lot of cheap PS2 games for it. I've also missed the PS2 iterations of their franchises so I'm not going to be as sick of them as some people.

Lol.. I thought Nfanboy fickleness couldnt be matched.. but after this, Xbots are in a whole new league.. Though Nfanboys may redeem themselves tommorrow.
 
Yeah I really don't understand some people either. Most of the stuff MS showed was gameplay while PS3 was mostly cinematics. Huge difference there. I'm blown away by Killzone 2 and will be buying if that's what it really looks like, but I remain skeptical for the time being. OTH, I also saw some games on the 360 that blew me away that were gameplay footage. Even Test Drive...yeah test drive...so if test drive can look like that, I have to believe Rare dropped the ball and MS just put out a bad presentation. That deffinitely does not equal in a bad system. Although it certainly does not help their chances, that's for sure.
 
:lol you know it's bad when hitler stole my potatoe starts this thread. But yeah, Sony is going to outclass nintendo also.
 
Let's see....

No date set

No price set

NO MOTHERFUCKING BUNGIE WHERE ARE YOU HALO 3 FUCK SHIT AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH

PD0 nearly shuffled under the rug ("We showed PD0 at MTV...won't be making that mistake again....here's KAMEO!!")

Only partial BC - is PDO a 'top title'? Fucking better be.

My rating: 4/10

Fuck.
