Sony really pawned last year, i think MS will take some ground back..

trancefreak6543d ago

i really dont think u have it all straight. Ms had a strong lineup last year and this year sony is really getting the ball movin

SmokingMonkey6543d ago (Edited 6543d ago )

M$ and NIN are going to go up against some serious competition, expect that

ash_divine6543d ago

he's talking about the press conferences, not the game line-ups

trancefreak6543d ago

Bazookajoe_836543d ago (Edited 6543d ago )

u see the way this author worded each consoles lineup. what a tool. some people have no clue.

jkhan6543d ago

Sony has some strong titles this year. Plus they will definitely be showing F-XIII & F-versus XIII plus White Knight Chronicles. We can expect something from Shadow of Colossus developers, Sony London's Studio, Sony Japan Studio, Infamous, Agency plus a couple of unannounced titles. Oh yeah and a little game called God Of War 3.

On Microsoft end we will see Gears 2, Fable 2, Halo War, Bungie Next project, Halo 3 on PC, Forza 3, SplinterCell Conviction, Too Human and a bunch of RPGs.

Superfragilistic6543d ago

I think Sony has a strong lineup, and much stronger than recent years, but other than the "secret game" they're a pretty well known quantity. Home, XMB, Square Enix, Resistance 2, God of War 3 and LittleBigPlanet are likely to dominate proceedings.

On Microsoft's side we know many titles for this year, but they've been uncommonly quiet on a number of fronts. I expect to see Halo Wars, Halo Chronicles, and Alan Wake all make surprise appearances. And Banjo and Too Human to get much better write ups than people expect. But the big unknown factor is the "Newton" and it's packaged games, along with XNA, Molyneux's "Dmitri", Rare's Mii program and those firm rumours about Netflix.

As for Nintendo, I don't forsee anything major although there is space for them to announce new Wii peripherals, a hard drive and better online features. Nintendo's third parties will make a much stronger showing than previous years with a number of potentially AAA titles to broaden its offerings.

I really think this E3 is less about the games than previous years and more about the technology and features of the competing consoles. On that note MS's uncharacteristic quietness towards rumours makes me suspect they are intent on stealing the show this year. I think most of that will hedge on whether the "Newton" controls are well received or not. It could be a spectacular success or an embarrassing failure. Not long now...

There are some really weird comments in here.

ash_divine6543d ago

if you're referring to the first comment, he talking about the press conference. not the games lineup. and i agree, considering all the pressure and crap people gave them last year.

Killzownz846543d ago

And I own both the PS3 and 360 but I have to say that I have a feeling it will be microsoft's this year at E3.. Grant it Sony will have a great showing and as a PS3 fan first I hope im wrong.. Now unless sony can show off God of war 3, announce a new Twisted Metal show some great multiplayer for Killzone 2 and give an exact Home release date along with when to expect ingame XMB then that would rock!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle13d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7713d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg19d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree18d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai18d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde19d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy20d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
