"In contrast with the arena-style lightshow of Microsoft's presentation, Sony's was slightly more understated, preceded by an outdoor pavilion hour, finger foods and cocktails -- yes, at 10:00 AM on a muted gray morning.
"If I were Sony I'd wanna drink right now too," an attendee was overheard to murmur. The general mood resembled something like sympathy -- like a prelude to a wake -- after Microsoft's high-powered, presentation yesterday. With so many early press leaks ahead of E3, many wondered if Sony had any cards left to play.
All the buzz revolved around what, exactly, the company could do to trump that dominant performance -- that is, when people weren't snarking about Nintendo's fairly by-the-books show. As the last of the Big Three to present at E3, Sony had a lot to prove."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
i pissed my pants wen ff14 was announced that was a bombshell to me
Natal was the game changer! It had every major media outlet talking about the 360. Sony had nothing like that. In actuality, there motion control is a joke....according to Sony fanboys themselves.
So if creating buzz is what it's all about then the clear winner is the 360! And we all know that the 360 will outsell the PS3 this holiday season....Again!!
Sony's definitely still got it.
I thought M$ bombed personally... Then again I didnt even watch.. Sorry Id like to bash more personal but just wasnt worth it.
I just frankly dont like a lot of the games xbox gets. Halo is lame to me. Gears was great until the community when on its glitching bindge. And other than that the other games just arent targetted to me.. Crackdown is still my favorite game on the 360.
Heck if I were Sony id see about them doing a remake on the ps3 at this point if they added a few exclusive features id buy it again.
M$ has lost all direction. Or maybe they never had any and just had the year start and bought the right game (gears)... Now it just seems like they have nothing. More bought Ps3 games and nothing original from them.
Alan Wake tanked. Game looks insane graphically but gameplay looked serverely jacked up as in they dont know what to even do with the game.
I mean wtf does M$ have now? Then add 59.99 for live? Why on earth would anyone still be dealing with that? Whatever.
Sony is old money while m$ is new money.
If you don't know what that means then you ain't got no money.
