Was just another mediocre conference till FFXIII. OMG!!!!

When you think about it though, all MS just had multiplats and timed excusives to show off. Where were all these big games that they were dropping.

They are a company of money. They just drop it everywhere instead of earning it.

There was no mention of FF13 versus. I wonder how that fits into this whole thing. I don't mind as much about it being on 360 as long as it has multi-disc, cause i would like to think the 41gb of space isn't being wasted.

The conference was quite lame , you could count the people clapping their hands over MS's version of existing stuff like eye toy mini games , mii and channels , and their singstar ...

Still at least they kept the biggest announcement keeping it from being a failure : ff13

hahaha this was a very disappointing e3 conference i was expecting a big announcement like killer instinct but none came so it is official sony has won e3 2008

it was okay, only thing worth mentioning is that ff13 is multi-plat and star ocean 4 too.

mark my words, this e3 will be weak. this year it's pretty much about games we've seen or have already heard about (except nintendo but those guys play a different game). i want more surprises in my e3 =(

I'm going to tell you people this. Square has never been loyal to anyone but money. They are greedy and self serving developers who turned their back on Nintendo and have now turned their back on sony. You dong bangers should've realized that.

Square wants money and they got it. Funny how they have done nothing but downplay Sony's cell for the last 5 months. "Slow going best describes Cell game development" Please. You all should've seen the writing on the walls.

Square is boxed in by the dollar. Not loyality.

i was really hoping 4 a motion controller or a home like environment

know but I don't think SOny isthat STUPID. Sony MIGHT have something up their sleeves and if not they better hold on or they might come at a very very distant third in the console war.

Just doing what they do best Copy Paste & Steal

The only exceptions where Resident Evil Gears and........................... .........Oh my god do I have to say it? Everything else was very "Me too".

is ff13 reali going multi platorm?, awesome if it is.

There is no way the Xbox 360 version will be less than 4 discs, even compressed...so this announcement is only symbolic...but it is impressive for microsoft.

Sony will get the other final fantasy VS game exclusive...or maybe even a new IP from Squareenix exclusive.

We will have to wait and see what sony has up its sleeves tommorrow.
I think they can do better than microsoft keynote. Lets hope sony's demonstration of its games does not have any blackout or blackscreens like the GEars of War 2 demo.

LOL!

can anyone confirm the release date of white knight chronicles i am getting hungry for a new rpg experience

@Tempist

I think it's quite the opposite , they are making a play for the huge us and eu 360 market , alongside the ps3 one . There are still more us 360 than ps3 . While in japan 360 will get a boost for ff13 and each of those square titles , but wont fly high . The ps will probably win the japan market for ff13 , but it will softened by the lead of the 360 in usa .

Just like most major multiplatform games sell a couple more millions on 360 compared to ps3 in usa and uk

But Sony better have some damn big sh!t to top FFXIII.

I think FF XIII will remain exclusive to the PS3 in Japan but they are only releasing the 360 versions in America and Europe. Kind of a smart move by Square. (I can't believe I typed that)

Edit: The only move sony can do to counter this is to show FF VII remake :D

Okay, I sh't my pants. FFXIII multiplat.
Now, I'm not angry because people with a 360 can play it. I am angry, because Sony f'cks up big time. Seriously, how important was that one game? How many people said they will buy a PS3 because of this?
If they don't announce something big (and I mean BIGGER than what just happened, IF THAT IS POSSIBLE), they are screwed.

To all the 360 owners: Welcome to the game, I hope we can all enjoy it, not as PS3 owners, not as 360 owners, but as people who play FFXIII.
To Sony: You are now officially the most stupid corporation I know. You guys own F'in shares of SE. How could you drop that ball? I can't believe it.

Look on the bright side of things, if you believe Gayblow, Sony is set to announce Legend of Dragoon tomorrow. That's something right? hahahahahahaahah

Opps, this just in final Fantasy 7 remake will be announced tomorrow.

"crosses fingers" < ahahahahah man this whole thing is absolute funny. So much parody can be made from nothing now.

you know what's even worse though? sony will probably call in their E-3 presser from inside HOME, making it more distant, more ominous and more off beat than even last years showing.

Remember that? Remember when Sony did their entire presentation from within home and it was really bland? Well, expect that tomorrow only worse now they don't have any games to show off.

Edit to below:

The Dawin/newton is a 3rd party device. It's not a Microsoft stapple, man. Anyone who said it was was lying to you. It is up to 3rd party to promote it as it will not be the standard tool for interaction with the xbox 360.

MS focus was balanced for hardcore and casual gamers was good. FFX111 I never foreseen!!

final fantasy 7 remake announced tomorrow for the pstriple. i have a gut feeling

This was an absolutely atrocious presentation. Gears 2 looked great, as did Fable 2. However, everything else was multiplats....including FFXIII. About the other 90% of the entire showing was devoted to Wii rip offs, PS3 rip-offs and a slew of casual and multimedia garbage that most gamers could care less about.

Everyone is saying that FFXIII coming to 360 is huge, but it is still going to be on the PS3. And honestly, which version do you really think will sell more? Overall, it was a horrendous presentation in my view. Yawn fest extrodinaire.

honestly this showing gets an +A from me. good luck to Nintendo and Sony tomorrow(especially Sony, they really need it).

what did everyone else think of it? give your rate.

predictable

predictable

copies Mii's

Copies Singstar

predictable

Galaga remake

OMFG MEGATON FFXIII MULTI-PLAT WE JUST STOLE THE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!

THE LIST #1-15 = BORING S**T. TOMORROW IS WHEN THE SHOW REALLY BEGINS.SONY WINS HANDS DOWN!!!HAHAHAHA PLAY BEYOND.

mm there was no motion controller as well i think they realized they have copied too much from sony and nintendo

BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING

what a great show, especially the netflix thing. my wife will love the new scene it and GOW2 looks awsome. I could care less about final fantasy but it was a great show lots of other things to get excited about. although i was really really hoping for killer instinct 3, guess rare was too busy with the kiddie games. where was bungie in all of this? i was hoping for a taste of something form them too.

ps... fallout 3 looked pretty cool. might be a "must buy" now instead of a maybe.

Whats Sony's phone number?

Got to give em a call about something Important if they would like to keep a customer. Sony didn't just lose 1 customer but millions.

Sony gl

F*ck you Square.

That is all.

The money MS paid for FF13 must have been astronimical. They had to anyways. They really needed a shot in the arm to get back into the console war and this is just what they needed. Things will be get pretty interesting from now on. I wonder if FF13 now that it has gone multi will do much for either console holders. GTA was the biggest franchise last gen and yet it didn't do much for either consoles this gen in terms of competition.

On the other hand i am wondering what Sony's response will be. Perhaps Sony is shifting focus to new franchise. Either way this is a very big F up on their part and this is a very big win for MS and i congratulate them.

So after all that, no newton controller or Halo!

It shows how most rumors are just that and based on no evidence.

lol, not but seriously... I knew this was coming, look at the sheer number of SE titles for the 360 and then tell me it wasn't a matter of time before FF13 was announced for the 360.

Honestly, I would love to see it for the pc as well.

SPREAD THE LOVE!!

Wow it is impressive that FF XIII is going to Xbox360 and just recently there was this article about Top 10 exclusives MS should steal... Well they got 1 out of 10! just 9 more to go?

I didn't hear anyone telling 2K Boston to F@CK off when Bioshock was announced for PS3. Why the hate Juuken?

This is great news for gamers! First Bioshock for PS3 and now FFXIII for 360. Everyone with a next gen console will be satisfied.
