I really hate Aaron Greenburg, he's just a douchebag.
@truth for gamers - Well duh, the game has been out for ages I mean I already played it on PC before I got my 360. That's like saying FFXIII will sell more on PS3 (everyone knows it will). On the other hand it Bioshock might actually be worth getting for PS3, I may give it a rent though
WOOT!!! DKS3713 better be good.
worst conference ever
@Fox01 - So...EU always gets ripped off, same as us in the UK. BC is kinda poitnless now, there are enough PS3 games, the BC was only needed at the launch of PS3 because there was not that many games available. But now there are loads.
I only used my 60GB B/C to finish Shadow of The Colossus, but since then I haven't used it.
@Capt Chaos - How many times do people have to say this...DVDs read faster on the outside of the disc and slower on the inside of the disc. Blu-Ray has a constant read speed on all areas of the disc meaning overall it is faster than a DVD.
The reason PS3 games require installs is because the games are much larger in size (upto 25gb and above), whereas DVD9 is only 7.5GB (cos of 360s layer break limitation). Also the install is used either due to bad coding on the game (i.e. 36...
Lol they could have announced a sequel to Oni (PS2). LMAO
This game is very likely to sell more on the PS3 in every major area. The standard 360 owner does not buy JRPGs, they are in to Shooters more. I have Lost Odyssey for 360 (which is very good), but I will hopefully be buying this game for PS3 cos it just feels right.
If I was in Japan I'd be buying Sony shares before FFXIII is released (in Japan), seriously you'd make sooo much money.
Basically MGS4 is possible on the 360, but it will not look as good as it does on the PS3. MGS4 also has got HD Audio 5.1 surround which would be downsampled for 360.
If the game is 33GB on PS3 and they kept everything exactly the same it would be ATLEAST 5 DVDs (because of MS' 7.5GB size limit on the DVD9). Then on top of that they would have to duplicate all major files on each disc (unless they install these on to the HDD), e.g. textures, music, sfx, menus (ingame and main ...
The way I see it is that the Sony showed a lot of games that I would like to play, plus they used LBP innovatively to do the boring stuff like charts.
MS was very good from the beginning, but I only liked Gears and Fallout 3 from the conference. The avatar and dashboard stuff IMO is pointless and copying Mii's and slightly copying the XMBs style. 2nd half of the conference was very boring completely casual. FFXIII was a megaton announcement though.
As for Nintend...
Resident Evil 5. WHAT?! Resident Evil 5 is March 2009 unless Sony has got it as timed exclusive (which I doubt), must be a mistake.
Nintendo thinks that hardcore means Mario and Animal Crossing, both games that IMO are crap. The only good announcement was GTA: Chinatown Wars, which I'm glad I've got a DS for. In fact the DS stuff was way better than the Wii stuff.
So this should mean the PS3 version coming out first in US/EU, cos I'm pretty sure that Localisation is a lot shorter process than porting the game.
I'm just worried about KH3 now, if that goes to the Wii (like we all expect), then Sony have lost 2 major Playstation titles.
It reminds me of Angeal's feathers in FF7: Crisis Core.
If these games (IU, Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4) sell too less on the 360 (i.e. Square Enix don't make enough money). Maybe it'll make them think twice before putting FF13 on the 360 (although this is the game that will most likely sell the most on all the consoles).
Good thing I didn't buy any of that stuff, I guess all the people that did buy that stuff just get shafted by MS as are all the Core and 20gb 360 owners when installs become mandatory.
Lol @Monchichi - I'll give you trophies but internal hard drives? You know the PS2 had an internal HDD expansion slot from launch right?
I've gotta admit, Gears 2 and Resident Evil 5 were teh only games that looked really great to me. But You're going to the Movies, looked like the biggest piece of sh*t ever, and LIPS seriously is a crappy version of Singstar.
Thank God. I never even expected FF13 going to 360 at all, even though I've got a 360, FFXIII should have stayed PS3 exclusive, it's like Gears should always be on the 360.
The biggest fail was the conference being mainly presented by that stupid woman rather than Reggie.
