The flawless 1:1 accuracy speaks for itself, not to mention that while the controller is new, the camera is already out and already supported, so Sony isn't pulling the rug out from under all the current Eye owners.
Yet, all that was shown for Halo: Reach was basically a picture and some non-specific background noise, yet people are pumped for that one. All that was shown for MGS: Rising was a trailer of Raiden. The reason why both of those trailers were talked about after E3 was because of the game they represented, not the actual gameplay shown.
So, why is Agent any different? An exclusive Rockstar North game is BIG news.
This game was '09 E3's "most ignored megaton announcement". By far.

Eh, I know what you're saying, but hating on Blu-Ray because "downloads are the future" is silly. Yes, downloads may very well be the future, but Blu Ray is now. It would be like refusing to play PC games in the early '90s because you were waiting for Valve to release their Steam service.
Do it, Sony. At least when you showed off your motion controls, you showed something genuinely new. Painting with broad arm motions and hitting kick-balls was really fun on the PS2, but I'm looking for something next-gen this time around.
Sorry guys, sometimes my time-traveling hobby interferes with my visits to N4G. I didn't mean to bring February 2008 back into the present time.
Heck yeah! Media Molecule delivered one of the best games of 2008, and even of this generation so far. I'm eager to see what they have to offer next. They've definitely proven themselves so far.
The only people still hating on Blu-Ray are the butt-hurt media outlets that wrote article after article after article about how Blu-Ray would certainly fail and how HD-DVD was the next step forward. Everyone else is getting with the program and buying Blu-Ray.
I've wanted something "different" from Bungie since the crappy ending of Halo 2.
Not everyone is still devoted to Halo series, so there's no reason why Bungie can't branch out into other IPs.
I've been playing the fan translation of 2nd G (Freedom Unite) already, and for Monster Hunter fans, this game is a 10/10, no questions asked. And if you haven't played Monster Hunter, give it a try. You might like it.
Monster Hunter is one of those games where if you're playing it alone, it's incredibly boring and you simply cannot understand the hype in Japan surrounding it.
Yet, get yourself a Xlink Kai (or better yet, a group of PSP friends with the game), and yo...
Nintendo won it, obviously, since they have the only system where motion controls come as the standard. They're also the only ones this gen who have proven they can take a first-party peripheral and make it almost as much of a standard as the "normal" controller (the WiiFit balance board).
But between Natal and PSMotion (not really sure what they're calling it), my vote of confidence goes with PSMotion. Yeah, their tech demo was just that: a crappy-looking tech demo. Ye...
If true, this would be so sad for so many reasons.
For one, a potentially awesome hardcore title like Alan Wake would be getting a healthy beatdown with the "gimmick stick", and we ALL know that's exactly what hardcore gamers want, right? I mean, if Nintendo had announced that Smash Bros Brawl would only use motion controls, would you be celebrating? And if Sony announced that your level of "sneakiness" in MGS4 was based on your facial expressions through the ...
Heh, I didn't even think CoD4 was "king" when it really WAS king back when it came out (TeamFortress 2 and Unreal Tourney III for me, at the time).
But I digress. CoD4 is a certain sort of game. It's just as easy to say that Resistance 2 or Killzone 2 are the "kings" of PS3 FPSs for very similar reasons the author listed.
That's fine if you disagree, but then you should name three other games that look better.
It's no big surprise to see the Top 3 games on that list be PS3 exclusives. The PS3 has -- no questions about it -- the best console graphics this generation. It's a simple fact that no amount of fanboyism will disprove.

Arguably, stores should stop selling the PSP, then, since tons of people buy one just to hack it and download games.
I'm with IrishAssassin.
What about all those Valve fans who bought it for the 360?
This game is awesome. It's nothing but fun, funny, limitless carnage.
