Watching EA conference right now. WTF did they do to Plants versus Zombies.
E3 2013
-
-
It's not like the multimedia stuff is inherently bad, seriously, the reason why microsoft got laughs over that is because it was 70% of their console reveal.
Yeah, people have to remember we're not just comparing Sony to Microsoft at E3, we're comparing SOny's console reveal to Microsoft's a few weeks ago.
-
Are we seriously trying to give Sony a hard time for describing its console's multimedia capabilities for 5 minutes?
-
Aaaaaaaaaand, the book is closed. PS4 wins, the glorious empire has returned, Microsoft can go bury it's head in the sand. I'm sure the company is popping some sake bottles right now.
I am very impressed they went with 399$ though, as I thought that was bare minimum. It seems they have learned their lesson indeed. I hope they can make enough of a profit off of it, as I don't know how much it costs to make each machine.
I don't buy opening-day consoles though, I'll probably wait a year at least, if not until first re-design. coughmaybeatleastuntilda3cough
-
Yeah I mentioned it earlier but Sony spending a few minutes to just say their multimedia stuff was expected for investors and the business side, so as consumers we cannot complain. And besides it barely happened. They stated it very succinctly and knew not to dwell or point it out as a focal region
The guys presenting didn't even try to look like they wanted you to be excited for it, or expect applause
-
When Kingdom Hearts' release is right around the corner, then I'll buy a PS4
voy a comprarlo~
-
On one side I'm pretty happy if xbox gets slapped for their shit I hope though that they will see the error in their ways and try to get back into the game.
I think MS as a direct sony competitor is healthy for gamers. I tell you the ps3 would be pretty shitty if they didn't get their ass handed by the 360.

I was just mentioning how I was bored for half their conference.
Dont' care if they are showing off to investores, ect. This has been a complaint for E3 conferences for a long time. You guys remember past years were we would sit there for 20 minutes hearing how many PSN users there were or the ratio of boys and girls who own the system, ect. gamers have complained for years that E3 conference shoudl be for US. If you want to do something for investors do it seperate. Isn't Nintendo doing something like that this year? A seperate investors show.
And damnit, just saw that no One Piece this week.

Either you don't know what E3 is, or I don't
-
Makes you wonder what the Microsoft investors are going through.
-
@Rogues':
Hey buuhan, need a towel yet?
You don't even know, man.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW.
-

It was like 5 minutes out of a two hour conference.
@Cyan:

Microsoft as a company goes far beyond the Xbox.

That's cute. Is this your first E3 conference? Want me to tell you how E3 looked like in the past 10 years or so?
-
Well, sadly I wasn't around for commenting. Mostly because I was busy seeing the most clear beatdown in the history of E3 that I can remember.
Sony didn't just landslide win their conference from sheer great content, they also rubbed it in Microsoft's snobby little face. Fantastic.
-
I have to wonder though if online play is going to cost what about games like dark souls that have features that skate around real multiplayer a bit.
-
Wasn't Microsoft trying their hardest to break into the Asian market - wonder if the Xbone kills that market outright? I know a lot of gaming in asian countries is done through internet cafes. Sounds like Xbone isn't suited for that.
-
I hope nintendo direct tomorrow is just Reggie playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf in silence, with nothing audible except the faint sounds of his 3DS.
Only then will this be the BEST E3 EVER
On that note that's how good the Sony conference was for me. It got me to stop playing New Leaf for a few hours. W2G purstartion.

Watching it tomorrow with friends, that would probably earn some funny reactions and commentary.

After an hour and a half of this, Reggie looks up and says, "I just payed off my next home renovation. Also Earthbound. Also Pokemon. Also Mario. Also Zelda."
Then he walks off the stage without another word
-
I wish nintendo would announce their wii u revision version voltron. It docks on the ps4 and plays all the games you care about.
-
Well, we're getting Smash 4 tomorrow, so this probably IS the best E3 ever.
I don't think I've ever seen a console completely shut out another console.
I'm sorry. I like the XBox 360. I respect Halo and Killer Instinct. I wish I had a way to play future Dance Central, Banjo Kazooie, and Viva Pinata games.
I see no reason to buy an XBox One. At all.
-

Wait when was a new Viva Pinata announced and why was i not informed
-
@Cyan:

It wasn't. I said 'future Viva Pinata' games, in anticipation of possible games in the distant future.
-
Killer Instinct… if SSF4 came out way to late and was bound to nostalgia and the development studio that made GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
Other than that... THIRD PARTY STUFF!!
MGSV is what i'm hyped about. jesus christ.
Also this cause I feel childish.
!
-
Agree on this being a fantastic E3. Sony proved why they're in this business by bitch-slapping Microsoft, and Nintendo is bringing the games tomorrow. It's a great week to be a gamer, especially one who has owned both Nintendo and Sony consoles.
Xbox go home.
-
Never in my life have I seen competing consoles with a discrepancy like this out of the gate.
-
I can't see how anyone would want an Xbox One over a PS4 now. Even if they have a lot of the same games.
-

The best part about it is that it happened 3 months ago! Who knows how much lower the xbox one may go after today's announcements.

It is clear Sony has the consumer in mind when planning their moves after the Microsoft fiasco (for the most part). Thank god Sony is somewhat on our side (still an evil entity, but far more commendable than Microsoft's unusual self-destructive decisions). Seriously…the cost $400 and used games capacity in itself is enough to trump the XBONE by a long shot. I just love how Sony is relishing this entire moment over basking in Microsoft's follies. I mean c'mon.
(Though, to be fair, they certainly learned their lesson from PS3).PS: All of you complaining naysayers about this E3 conference are probably mixing this up with the Tokyo Game Show...I mean seriously, these are two completely different things.

"You are already dead.", indeed…
-
Ah, I'm really relieved. People were saying that Sony would adopt similar policies to the XBone, but I can say that I'm fully satisfied with how the conference went. It was exciting and even funny to see Sony address the used game and DRM issues. That second half of it was truly amazing.
-
This conference has made it rather painfully clear where my money should be going this winter. Sony pretty much winked and showed leg at all the right moments.
I wasn't particularly excited for the XBONE before, but I honestly can't think of a single reason to purchase it over the PS4.
-
MGSV is what i'm hyped about. jesus christ.
Same here, that trailer just, wow. I hear we are supposed to get another 9 minute trailer for it tomorrow as well. Microsoft sold me on the game, but sony will get my money for the system so i can play that game lol.

Sony PS4 $399 USD

That australia gets really bad prices for gaming in general is actually kind of normal, it sucks though, dunno the reason, taxes?
You still pay less than us in germany for the console though surprisingly not much though. -

Aus has the GST which is a standard 10% tax at point of sale - that 550 is including GST.
Although all companies seem to just charge Aus more because we have brainless people who will just take it - and then others who just import cheaper ones. Still $150 price descrepency is rough.

Isn't Australia's min wage like $16? Also PS4 my love~ <3

Around that yeah - average yearly income is 46k.
However our Dollar used to be worth half the USD - it's kind of rude that while our Dollar has increased the price has rarely adjusted. We pay $100-$120 for new release games here on consoles - and when all the companies are asked to justify it they basically shrug and say 'cause we can.

Aren't there a few high-ranking Australian government people that want to do away with video games anyway lol

Probably only the same percentage of any other country.
We had issues where some politicians were opposing an R18+ rating for games because they couldn't understand that the games that would be rated R18 were being rated MA15 instead because we didn't have a higher rating.
Common sense eventually came through - took an election to sort it out. -
i cant believe oda killed another one piece character
microsoft gaming will be sorely missed
