People are rushing to defend Turn-10 and act as if it's no big deal, but before this information was released, these same people were using the EXACT SAME POLL as some sort of "proof" that Forza 3 will be better than GT 5.
Oh, the hypocrisy. It smells delicious.
This is such a funny situation, because if it was Microsoft holding the exclusivity, the media and the fanboys would be hyping it into the stratosphere, but since it's a timed exclusive to Sony consoles, people are staying quiet and pretending that a couple of exclusive DLC maps for Modern Warfare 2 is a bigger deal.
I'm more fond of a nice butt.
Is that why I play the PSP so often?
So a "vote" says that Forza 3 (an unreleased game) is better than GT5 (also an unreleased game). Hmmmm.
Well shoot DARN! I better believe it, because I'm a stereotypical American internet-user who believes everything I read and I'm frightened to not match my own opinion with the popular opinion.
I heard of this other "vote" that says the Gran Turismo series is better than the Forza series, and when I say "vote" what I'm really talking ab...
Microsoft and their affiliates have had the dubious reputation of being "all talk, but no walk" for years...for DECADES. Microsoft's trash-talking is nothing new, and if you disagree then you are a 12-year-old child whose first console was the 360 and you have no concept of history.
Greenburg is a PR person.
You can be an avid fan of the 360 fan, but it doesn't mean that you have to agree with him. The "best" is up to personal opinion, but Metacritic would clearly show that the PS3 has plenty of "best" games to be envied.
And technically, the Wii has the most exclusives, so sorry, Greenie.
I wasn't aware that 360 games were region-coded. That kinda stinks for people who like to import (I do it all the time for my PS3).
Yeah. This game is getting far better reviews than I expected, which is good (I mean, who in their right mind would want a game to be BAD?)
Great for PS3 owners. First, inFamous (the first AAA title of the summer). And now, Prototype. And hopefully, the new Red Faction also delivers.
Well, I don't blame them for saying this! Valve hasn't made anything cutting-edge (in graphics, physics, or anything else) since the first Half-Life 2, so I can imagine that when they take one look at the likes of Killzone 2 and Uncharted, it WOULD be "too complicated" to compete with those titles.

#1 reason why E3 "fans the fanboy flames"
Because every news site, tech site, and blog site feels obligated to declare "______ stole the show at E3!" and "______ is the winner of E3!"
#2 reason:
Because fanboys get jealous when deep in their hearts, they know that the "other" console showed off better stuff.
And it's quite incredible to realize that the trailers for Uncharted 2 and Last Guardian were both in-engine.
Not only do the textures in this game look amazing, but the animations and physics are equally-amazing.
I guess all that boasting about "teh Cell" ended up being true.
Of course, it seems that the media would rather fondle Milo through a camera than talk about this. And to think that a mere two weeks ago, depth-perception cameras and motion controls were considered "teh casual".
And this announcement basically says, "This is what GTA4 could have been if it took advantage of Blu Ray".
Because the only people who played L4D were 360 owners, right?!?

Boycotts rarely work, but I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is brave enough to call out the Almighty Valve.
Valve has been going downhill for a couple of years now. This is merely the latest chapter in their history of mediocrity. I loved Half Life and HL2, but their devotion to quality has taken a nose-dive since then.
Yeah, it's all opinion, in the end. After all, let's say that you're a hardcore Ninty fan...well then of COURSE Nintendo will "win" in your mind.
For me, Sony won because they showed off twice as many games and dropped twice as many megatons as the competition (new Kojima-directed MGS on the PSP, Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo PSP, God of War 3 live gameplay, exclusive Rockstar title on PS3, Last Guardian trailer, Uncharted 2 live gameplay which blew away the graphics of ...
I'm puzzled why Natal is a "megaton". Casual motion-cameras are megaton? So why didn't Sony win with their "megaton" Eye camera? And I guess this is the year where "games" don't matter at E3, because Sony had them in spades. I applaud Microsoft for doing an excellent job of making an entire 1 1/2 hour presentation using only 7 games, because that's really all they showed off.
I understand that lots of the mainstream media sites have said "Micro...
I'm glad people are taking a closer look at Project Natal instead of praising it instantly. Not only does Natal fail to do anything "new" that Eye hasn't already done or isn't already capable of, but their "live" gameplay demonstrations were sorely lacking.
Go back and watch the "live" demonstrations of Natal. Go do it. Their demonstrations were rough at best, and downright embarrassing at worst. "You ever seen the bottom of an Avatar's shoe? BA...
Forrest Gump said it perfectly:
It's not that they're "lazy devs" per se. They just know that their games would look like rubbish compared to the games already available on the PS3. Heck, most of Valve's games (I'm starting directly at you, Left 4 Dead) already look pretty crappy compared to games already available on the 360.
