But again, it wasn't Microsoft's decision to have it shown so early. Ever since Microsoft acquired publishing rights, they have kept the game under close wraps.
Personally I am glad they are taking their time. Most of my favorite games of all time were games that were promised to be available "when it's done". And Alan Wake is certainly shaping up to being one of the most amazing-looking upcoming games.
Quit running your mouth, DownNflames. All that comes out of it is nonsense. Valve is easily one of the best development studios in the world. Their games are always top notch. People like you and the rest of the clueless PS3 fanboys on this site only serve to hurt the image of the console you favor.
Exactly.
If I remember right, HDgamer, you were supposedly studying to become a game developer and here you are apparently advocating piracy.
Piracy is wrong. Maybe if you actually ever become a developer you will understand why.
I don't really care which games sell more. All I know is that Halo Reach is going to be epic. Uncharted 2 and God of War 2 are going to be awesome games as well.
Trust me, Murderdolls, they will probably only use the aspects that work. It won't be completely controlled by motion and will likely have the option to choose between various control setups.
I agree. There are nearly limitless combinations that can be done using various elements of traditional physical controls and the new Natal technology. It isn't an either/or proposition. That is what excites me about it. I can see hardcore games as well as more casual games benefiting from this.
Some snippets from the article:
"Project Natal not only works, but developer kits have been in the hands of studios around the globe for months."
Interesting.
"Resident Evil 5’s DLC was very close to becoming an Xbox 360 exclusive. This had nothing to do with Microsoft spending money, and everything to do with Sony charging developers a hefty fee for each piece of DLC downloaded. As it was told to me; there is a cut off point where a game’...
Mass Effect is one of the best games this generation and you are smart to want to play it, but leave the fanboyism at the door please.
One of the best games ever created, and the graphics are also some of the best I have ever seen on a home console. Bioware are gods of game making.
"This Holiday: MAG, Uncharted 2, R&CF:ACIT, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Thats four games right there that counter MS's."
There is no doubt that the PS3 has some great games coming up and I am really glad I have a PS3. However, don't try to tell me that that lineup destroys the 360's lineup like so many PS3 fanboys are trying to do. Because, by any objective standard, it doesn't. I think if you go by empirically measurable metrics like sales and critical reception I thi...
It didn't look like gameplay footage to me. At least, not going by the way GT5P looks. It is possible some of it might have been gameplay footage, but unless they majorly improved the graphics over GT5P then I don't believe that was pure gameplay footage.

Let's be honest though, people like you (who own the particular combination of a PS3/gaming PC) make up maybe around 5% of all gamers.
So, for the vast majority of us, who only game on consoles, these games are as exclusive as any exclusive.
For someone like me, who only owns a PS3 and a 360, the concept of console exclusive is very real and very important. If a game I want is on 360, but not on PS3 I have to get it on the 360.
...
That whole "it's on PC so it isn't an exclusive" is such a cop out.
I'll tell you why. Most gamers nowadays are console gamers. PC versions of games sell only a fraction of their console counterparts, so obviously it is on the consoles where the games have the real impact.
Millions of gamers out there are like me in that we own a console (or two or three) and if a game doesn't come out for the consoles we own, we won't be able to play it. I own a PS3 a...
Hey Darkeyes, did they say Microsoft won only because of Natal? No, they didn't. So quit being so ignorant and putting words in people's mouths.
I personally thought both Microsoft and Sony had great showings. Even Nintendo did better this year. Nobody, no matter what console they own, should have been disappointed by this E3.
That said, Microsoft's was the best for me because of the games they showed, first and foremost. AT least 6 huge 360 games are coming out...
My game of the show is down to between Alan Wake, Uncharted 2 and Mass Effect 2. All of them are level 10 awesome games and I just can't decide on one.
Some good picks all around. I had no major disagreements.
Microsoft and Sony both had really good conferences. I just think Microsoft's was a little better because they had better games. And not just games that will come out eventually, but games that will mostly be coming out in the next 8 months. I'm sorry, but for my tastes Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Forza 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Crackdown 2, Halo ODST is a killer lineup.
Sony had some awesome games as well, like Uncharted 2, God of War 3, The Last Guardian, b...
All fanboys are not the same. That is just bullshit.
Look, I lean towards the 360, but I also have a PS3. I don't own a Wii.
Even given that situation I can see that Wii fans are the best of the bunch. How often do you see Wii fans saying ridiculous and irrational things? Almost never. They usually just defend why they like the Wii and that is it.
360 fans are next most rational and fair minded group. PS3 fans are the bottom of the barrel. I have n...
Wow, the PS3 fanboys prove their lack of integrity and honesty time and time again. They simply can't recognize anything good Microsoft does. Sony could have showed up with 3 games and the Sony loyalists would still be claiming Sony won.
Get over it. Microsoft had an awesome lineup of games and new features for the console. They had the best showing. It's not the end of the world. Sony had a good showing too.
@Gun_Senshi
Why is it that so many of you PS3 diehards always feel the need to mention that you are getting a game on the PC? Nobody cares what platform you get it on. You don't see everybody else just randomly mentioning that they are getting it for the 360 or the PC, do you? Your motives are transparent.
