Of all the three E3 2006 conference threads, the only one you just simply had to screw up was Microsoft's...

Zenien

Actually I messed up the Nintendo one as well, being at work makes this difficult so I rushed putting them up. I already sent Drakon a PM.

And cry me a river, Phaser.

I could just tell it's that exceptional "reading comprehension" of yours working it's magic again when you can't even grasp the very simple fact that it was a sarcastic post with a little side-reference to your shameless fangirlish allegiance to Sony and Nintendo on this forum. :rolleyes:

Why not just make "The Official E3 2006 Conference Thread"

Zenien
05-07-2006, 03:37 PM
If I did that we'd have the conversations walking all over eachother, this is the best way to give each system, and discussions/reactions that will spring from the conferences, the attention they individually deserve, at least imo.

And I have no problem with these threads being consolidated or absorbed into the E3 thread after the fact.

There's nothing that MS can pull out at this E3 that can reach the pwnage that Sony dealt out. No matter how hard I try to ignore it....

Sony will freaking own this gen. MS is ****ed. I just hoped it wouldn't be as bad as last time.

It will be worse.

Wait a minute, you have to be joking. Yes Sony and Nintendo are expected to pwn Microsoft at this E3 just like they did at TGS, but I wouldn't call them f**ked

What the hell can I say???

FFXIII, Virtua Fighter 5 and a freaking FFXIII fighting game.

So either MS announce Killer Instinct 3 and GTA exclusive or I'll just get a PS3 and get it over with. I thought that 360 would get more support then that.

Square gave us a crappy shooter game. For ****'s sake!

Two Final Fantasy XIII games. Square Enix also gave the Xbox 360, Final Fantasy XI, a game that has already been released on the Playstation 2 and PC. However that doesn't match Square Enix giving the Playstation 2 Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, the Playstation 3 Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the Nintendo DS Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates the Wii Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, the Playstation Portable Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and mobile phones Final Fantasy Agito XIII.

Man, Square Enix really did screw over the Xbox 360 :(

The chances of either happening are zero, Capcom ports all of their games to a Playstation when a game "underperforms" and Grand Theft Auto is stuck as a Playstation brand game even though it has gone multiplatform. If Grand Theft Auto goes exclusive at all, it will be with the Playstation 3.

TheCardPlayer
05-08-2006, 07:00 PM
Actually , MS supposed will be announcing a deal with Rockstar for GTA exclusivity.

If not, goodbye 360. All the games I want are on PS3 anyway. You're right, Dead Rising and Lost Planet will be ported and will have more content I guess.

Remember when Microsoft tried to get Metal Gear Solid exclusivity, Final Fantasy exclusivity and tried to buy Sega. Microsoft has a hard time getting "Playstation" games exclusive for their console :o

No I'm not. I was expecting great things from this E3. Square didn't even talk about the 360. Sega is sending all it's crap games to it. Test Drive isn't that good. And LP and DR will be ported.

Shadowrun isn't even exclusive. Why the hell did I buy this for then? Not Halo 3 for sure.

http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/1573/E3-2006-Microsoft-Reaction-to-Sony-Press-Briefing/p1

When asked to comment on the briefing from a competitive standpoint, Shane Kim elaborated, “I’ve said this before, but there was nothing from Sony’s briefing that would make us change anything regarding our plans. We are very confident in our approach, especially now. We have a much better online story and much better content. Finally, we feel that our superior price point provides us an advantage.”

As for Sony’s online focus, Microsoft appeared confused. “They talked a lot about building an online community, which is something we’ve already established very well on Xbox Live. Surprisingly, they didn’t mention anything about their online gameplay structure.”

-Once again they failed to show any real gameplay and the gameplay footage they did show was not the 'console war winning material' SONY would have you believe.

-The Tacked on feature of motion sensors in the controller and the lack of force feedback.

-No real online plan just that they 'will build an online community'.

-The crap price and the crap 'core' version which forces people to buy the 'premium' version.


Im sure its not all bad but SONY are getting off on the wrong foot.

'I'll pay, but I won't be happy...'

Yeah, THAT'LL teach Sony who's boss :rolleyes:


I mean 360 has better games (thats just my opinion, but its not like Sony has more than one or two good game exclusives, MAX, that you have to pay $600 for the privalage for), live community, and is much, much cheaper, yet people will pay anyway?

No wonder Sony treats the consumers like idiots if they can get away with pulling this crap.

Even Wii looks better, with an interesting concept, games and price point.

It just goes to show that people will buy a 360 for a few extra hundred dollars just because it has Sony's name on it :rolleyes:

lol I think it's cause you accidentally said they'd by a 360, just cause it's from Sony ;)


But yeah, I have to agree...

Sony has made, IMO, a HUGGGE mistake with this. The most glaring one is a lot of what they failed to mention in the conference...the TRUE difference between the Core and Premium packs.

As someone who works at Circuit City, I hear a lot of people say "I'll just wait for the PS3, cause it'll have a Blu-Ray player in it." Or sometimes an occasional "PS3 will output in 1080p...something XBOX360 can't do.

Well, with what Sony's put together here, unless you chuck out $600 for the Premium one, neither will your PS3! No HDMI means no 1080p. Even worse...no HDMI means your Blu-Ray movies will be down-converted to... let me know if I'm wrong here...something like 540i! "The only TRUE HD console" my butt!

Want memory cards, so you can take small save files with you to your friend's house? Can't do it with the $500 version.

Can't wait to save $100 by having WiFi built into the PS3? Well, you better make sure you get the $600 one.

You like the now-standard Rumble feature that your controller outputs during your games? Say goodbye to this COMPLETELY on the PS3. That's right, no Rumble AT ALL. It "interferes with the tilt-sensoring feature". Strange, Nintendo was able to have both for their Wiimote.

Can't wait to play those 7-player-at-one-time games Krazy Ken said the system would allow? Well if the pictures of the "new" controller are any indication, you can only have 4 players at any time. Note the four lights on the top of the controller that tell you whether you're player 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Hyped up about the dual-screen output? Well I read a report on...IGN, I think... that mentions that it won't be able to do this after all! :eek: Now whether this means no dual HDMI output or no dual output at all, they didn't seem sure, but here's yet another promise Sony has failed to keep.

So let's look at it this way:

You can spend "only" $500 for PS3 Core. But if you want the REAL PS3 you'll be screwed. For that, you'll have to buy the $600 one. This is as opposed to the $300 Core XBOX360 (which can be "upgraded" to a Premium if you just buy the accessories that make the difference...you can't "upgrade" the hardware that the Core PS3 is missing), and the $400 Premium XBOX360.


I'm just speechless...

imdaly
05-09-2006, 11:04 AM
And I'm willing to bet that there'll be a good surge of people buying the XBOX360 now that they've seen the $600 pricetag of the PS3. I know of MANY people who said they'd wait to see what the PS3 costs before they decide what to get.

Horrorfan
05-09-2006, 11:13 AM
No I did mean 360....basically meaning that PS3 is a glorified 360, with Sony's brand behind it :D






And a $600 price tag.







And crappier games.

Im sure its not all bad but SONY are getting off on the wrong foot.

- They showed gameplay of Resistance, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword.

- Apparently the tilt feature also allows for forward backwards and so on I'll find the article.

- Basically the thing that make it go from an 'ok' conference to an absolutely horrid one is the price. The games look good, but 500-600 dollars?

Horrorfan
05-09-2006, 11:36 AM
Keep in mind Microsoft's games look just as good, if not better as well as the price tag.

Also remember that even if you buy it for one game (IE MGS4), with the $60 tag, thats close to $700 for one game. Considering you will also want to buy one or two games at launch...well...your approaching a grand at that point.

Is it worth it when you can get a 360 and some games for the price of a ps3 on its own?

I can see a power difference between the top tier PS3 games and the top teir 360 games, for sure, it's their marginally, but I don't think it's worth 500-600 dollars. At if you think of the PS3 as an entertainment hub (as such it's a good deal for what it offers) then you can't get the 500 dollar version anyway.

Oh well, there are still great PS2 releases slated all the way into mid 2007, I'll see what the scene is by then. But I'll be gettinga Revolution at launch.

I'm sorry but do you think those games are even close to being finnished. Listen guys how can you even compare games with a system thats been out for months and a system thats not coming out for months. Come on. I'll reserve my comparisons when I see the finnished product. And as you said there already is a marginal difference between the two. Imagine when the finnished product is shown.

You get two big levels. One is an attack on a bug Hive the other is a raid on a pirates base.

You get to try out a heap of weapons and the mechs you drive around too.

Graphics are great.

Controls are good, a little loose and the aiming could be a bit tighter.

Swarms of flying bugs massing on you is freaking cool.

The giant bugs that pop out of the ground are a ***** to kill on foot... Best use a rocket launcher to blow a few legs off the go in for the kill :up:

HALO 3 TEASER...




White screen.

Fades in to a desert setting, huge structures lie in ruin on the horizon.

Flashes... A voice.

Camera passes through smoke.

The voice again... A woman voice 'Of gods and monsters' (not quite sure if thats what was said).

Its Cortanna.

Master chief walks through smoke.

More flashes and voices... Coming closer. "Sent a demon" (not sure if thats exact)

Master Chief standing in fron of camera

Voice - "I am your soul... I know you".

Master chief walks to the edge of a cliff, Huge Covenent mothership passes overhead.

HALO theme starts.

A huge machine in the valley stirs, a vortex swirling in the sky above.

More flashes and the womans voice...

The ground shakes as the machine awakens. A bright light appears and then a blast...

Cortannas voice 'This is how the world ends.'

Title 'HALO 3'

'Finish the battle'.

Yep, the very last thing... Here is another description.


A windswept plain, arches broken and tattered over the landscape. The Master Chief appears.

He turns. A huge ship - a fleet really - breaks over the horizon, with a giant hole ahead of him in what looks like a ten mile wide crater. Nope, it's some sort of building, arching up. To say it's vast would be... A giant white light. "This is the way the world ends."

We won't ruin the content of our short presentation by describing it frame by frame, but we will note that everything you're seeing here is being rendered in real-time on the Xbox 360, using the current version of our Halo 3 game engine.

Ah Halo you pull at my heartstrings so with your flashy visuals and music, yet Halo 2 left me feelling so cold and neglected... mayhaps you can find it in your heart to come to me, show me unto your virtues beyond that which lays at the surface, and I might be yours once more.

Not going to happen. The Xbox 360 is just like its predecessor in Japan, a flop. The Playstation 3 is getting games such as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Virtua Fighter 5, Tekken 6, these are big games for the Japanese market.

The only disadvantage Sony has in North America and Europe is its expensive price.

Which is very crucial when it's at the $500 and $600 range. Wii is going to be less than half of that. The 360 is going to do well in NA b/c it will be cheaper than PS3 and has good games on the way. Sony is basically helping their competition with the price and few good games worth the price.

Hope some of the stuff we were supposed to see in the first makes the cut in this.

A price drop would be good. It'd hurt PS3's sales even more and in business, you always want to hurt the competition.

I just saw the Halo 3 trailer, it is easily one of the best looking games graphically. Beating Gears of War, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Resistance: Fall of Man, the new Naughty Dog game. As a matter in fact it greatly rivals Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and the Final Fantasy XIII series.

I dunno man, I think it looks JUST as good as the PS3 games we seen. That stuff is in real time.

http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3story.html?sid=6149725&pid=926632

Looks like Bungie did the thing that those MGS people did with MGS, meaning showing it in realtime with the lighting changes and stuff.

[UPDATE]: Shortly after Microsoft's presentation, we had an opportunity to get a close-up look at Halo 3 with Bungie representatives. We spoke with Brian Gerrard, one of Bungie's community managers, as well as TJ Cohen, the cinematics director. Cohen stated that the trailer was a good example of where Halo 3 is going, in terms of fiction. By that, he means that the story is epic in scale, but dark as well, and Bungie is going for a distinct mood, since Halo 3 will represent the end of the trilogy.

The Bungie representatives made it clear to us that the trailer was running in real-time on the Xbox 360. The trailer is set in the African desert, and it was taken from roughly a third of the way through the game. Cohen noted that the constant battling has taken its toll on Master Chief, and you can see that by the many scratches and gouges in his armor. The flashes of Cortana seen in the trailer fill you in on the state of her mind, and the Forerunner structure seen in the distance at the end of the trailer represents a pivotal point in the story.

We next met with Marcus Lehto, Bungie's art director, who filled us in on the technology as he gave us a fly through of the locations in the trailer. The crater seen in the trailer is three miles across, and it's all rendered in real geometry. Halo 3 has a new global lighting system that now lights everything uniquely from the same source, which explains just how that setting sun looked that good as it illuminated everything in the trailer. Halo 2, on the other hand, used a lighting system that lit everything separately. Meanwhile, parallax mapping is able to give depth to structures in the distance, such as the clouds above the crater. A new particle system offers different levels of light diffusion to take the quality of the atmosphere into account, and that makes for different layers of light.

The demo shifted away from the crater to the part of the level you see the Master Chief walking in from. He was controllable, which means that the trailer indicates just how good the game will look. Lehto was able to zoom in on the Master Chief with the camera, and you could see the many different ways light reflected objects onto him. For example, you could see light reflect off the ground and onto his armor. A new materials system shows the difference between his armor and the rubber undersuit. It's so detailed that if you bring the camera close to the Master Chief's visor, you see everything in front of him reflected in it, right down to the ammo counter in his rifle.

It goes without saying that Halo 3 looks really impressive. We'll have to wait to learn more, but we'll keep you up to date with any developments.

watching Morgan Webb play Too Human last night... it really didn't look that good at all. and the 'new, innovative camera system' they kept talking about has been done before, in 'Path of Neo'. The backgrounds looked nice enough, but the characters and animations looked pretty damn sub par.

i know the game isn't complete yet, but what's the point of showing it off when it looks that bad?
