Perhaps you should take your hate to the Open Zone?

MS has managed to keep expectations low, and their lips mostly sealed. Whatever they have tomorrow, I'm sure all N4G's true gamers will be happy.

Same goes for Sony & Nintendo.

I can tell you this: the trailers so far are 100% based on Xbox video capture. None of it is on PC.

Yes, but dont worry. That's the usual N4G nonsense.

You cant really hear them over all this awesome anyway;

At 5.3;
"In a leaked interview in the June issue of Qore, Sony's John Koller revealed new game announcements "

What. Are. You. Talking. About?

You just pulled that *right* out of your arse.

Perhaps it is SE that is chasing MS? Ever consider that FFS?

And, we havnt heard from Mystwalker in a while -- I wonder if we might hear something *this* E3 about Sakaguchi-san's current project.

"GT5 will walk all over Forza 3"

Forza 1 and Forza 2 each won piles of awards, have 90+ metacritic averages and sold millions and millions of copies.

You're highly mistaken if you think that GT is going to out-do Forza Motorsport 3.

forzamotorsport.net, custom cars, realistic physics, insane graphics -- all in Forza 2. Forza 3 is going to set the bar pretty high for GT5 to reach.

If GT5 releases this year, I dont see it re...

This bears repeating:

"Release dates matter."

Get it? MS announces what will be *released* at these shows, not what is underdevelopment and maybe sometime next year.

@GiantEnemyCrab

Regarding UMD games and PSP Go and PSP-Prior; I'd wager that Sony *MUST MUST MUST* have a plan to have you "register" your UMD games and then simply download them to the new Go.

If they **DONT** have this, I expect *A LOT* of very very pissed off PSP owners.

I just cant see them being _that_ stupid.

Is Sony telling its 15M-ish PSP owners to "frack off" with the Go?

6124d ago 0 agree1 disagreeView comment

The concensus pretty much *everywhere* outside of N4G is that the Go;

A) Is utter failure for not including 2nd stick.
B) Looks like a mylo (which was a massive flop).
C) Is a disappointment.

@1.3 "Sony is taking over, sorry industry analysts but youre all idiots"

Year over Year Xbox 360 sales are UP.
Year over Year PS3 sales are down.

The PS3 is *loosing* ground -- in a race where it was *already* third.

This has nothing to do with analyst subjective opinion; it is objective FACT.

The PS3 slim *better* have a significant price cut along with it if Sony hopes to stay viable this gen.

I dont think they'll make their decision in relation to Forza Motorsport 3. Both teams have goals and timelines they need to work too, you cant shift gears mid-development to meet/match your competition, it messes up everything.

Forza Motorsport 3 is already dead-center in the Sim arena, it isnt "moving" anywhere. The last two Forza titles are 90+ on metacritic and have sold many millions of copies.

The playing field -- and the challenge and expectati...

Forza 3 is a high probability too.

It will be a real blast to see them "head to head".

@iDystopia

You are absolutely correct. The Xbox 360 offers a real improvement in available features over the previous generation (same goes for PS3).

Now the mass market is going to start to see the Xbox 360 for more than the hardcore AAA games. Video on Demand, Windows Media Extender, CableCard, TVoverIP, Netflix, Zune Marketplace (Zune Pass?), Primetime, Avatars, XBLA, Casual games, Text/Voice/Video calling and more are going to make the Xbox 360 the "d...

Absolute Day 1 purchase.

I've got two Zunes now (16 and 120). I'll probably sell one and get the Zune HD at the earliest possible.

This is going to be a massive game-changer for a lot of markets.

@1.15

"xbox 360 sales plateau"

What is wrong with you?

Year-over-year Xbox 360 sales are increased for 2009.

The year-over-year sales for PS3 are in *FREEFALL*.

Everyone on this site sees sales data, what is your excuse for being so ignorant?

6127d ago 6 agree2 disagreeView comment

No.

They mention "real money", and real-time. This is almost, without a doubt, related to Primetime.

Do you know how many people are going to play 1 vs. 100 during the opening season? 300,000 is conservative I'd wager.

That said, Huxley, APB and Champions Online will all be MMOs and none will deal with "real money prizes".

That said, second life on a console doesnt make a lot of sense, it didnt make sense when s...

The vehicle sections were very good. Some of the base assauts were very good.

What I'd like to see is vehicle options that will increase the tactical depth; perhaps mapping scouts or deployable turrets? Perhaps a hover option?

@1.4 boldy; thanks.

This is going to be a *massive* hit. I played through ME again when the Mass Effect 2 info started to sneak out.

I liked it even more the second time, the depth of charcter, game world and story were wonderful. The combat is so terrific, it has strategy like X-Com and the character's abilities are varied and deep.

Utterly terrific title.

Mass Effect 2 is going ot be a massive hit. Just massive.

@1 & 1.2

Did you say that Home was unique, or "the first"? No. But as 1.1 pointed out, Home isnt unique. It isnt new at all.

For you to compare this posting to "home" is clearly an attempt for you to imply that Sony is being "copied". Sony copied SL, The Sims and a dozen other VR-worlds that came before.

That said, this article is truely reaching. It sounds like a position for PrimeTime development. For *this...
