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

trancefreak6495d 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

SmokingMonkey6495d ago (Edited 6495d ago )

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

ash_divine6495d ago

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

trancefreak6495d ago

Bazookajoe_836495d ago (Edited 6495d ago )

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

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.

Superfragilistic6495d 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_divine6495d 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.

Killzownz846495d 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!

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (1996) Still Feels Like Peak 90s Star Wars

Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.

This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆

Redgrave1d 5h ago

Because it is.

Please re-release this.

SimpleSlave1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.

Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.

Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.

As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .

Yet another "article" based on a copium post from reddit...

jznrpg12h ago

Seems a bit late but you never know. Lies of P got a dlc way later

MayorPauline11h ago

I don't see Capcom revisiting the game outside of a Switch 2 port. It under-performed and generally when that happens any potential future content goes bye-bye.

Inverno6d ago

Yea so you can't jailbreak it ahaha. Best thing you can do with these old consoles is jailbreak em, finally have the freedom to do with em whatever is possible.

TheColbertinator6d ago

That's good. I needed more stability in my life.
