E3 2008

[Electro UK]

Guys.

I'm gonna be out for this conference REALLY annoyingly.

Can I ask a big favour of someone like Guardian or someone who I'm chums with? Once the conference is over, you could post a direct link to a blog of the conference then links of all the new trailers? I like seeing this stuff as its announced, but blogging will have to do this time round.

Thanks a bunch to whoever fufils my wishes.

I was just wondering, if Final Fantasy is coming out on Xbox does that mean they will get Final Fantasy Versus too?

 

[Electro UK]

No, that's still exclusive.

 

[RickO'Connell]

No, that's still exclusive.

The key word is "still" that can easily change especially with Versus being put on hold. That can easily change any time

 

[RickO'Connell]

I really hope that Sony's Conference is not as bad as Nintendo's. They need to wow & shock even Microsoft themselves I could give a rats ass about them showing off Home or LBP again because we know what they are about & we know we want it. They need something biger then those & God Of War 3 will not be enough to wow people alone because God Of War 3 will not have the impact the Final Fantasy announcement had

 

[StrainedEyes]

starting soon...

 

[RickO'Connell]

Gamespot says its live now but its not ?

 

[StrainedEyes]

It hasn't started yet. The IGN one has audio of several games being played, and the live blog people are waiting for it to start

 

[RickO'Connell]

Here we go

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Alright get on with the games already.

 

[RickO'Connell]

Am I the only one that chuckled when he said "I agree with CNET that 2008 is the year of the PS3" ? Of course he agrees he works with Sony I hope he is not going to be Captain Obvious today

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Wow. Resistance looks great and I didn't even play the first one.

 

[RickO'Connell]

Wow. Resistance looks great and I didn't even play the first one.

It looks like your every day shooter to me just with cool special features. The only thing that makes Resistance 2 really stand out is the 60 multiplayer online player matches. The story is just your typical aliens attack / mutants made by some kind of government mess up & you save the world type of story

 

[StrainedEyes]

Little Big Planet is one of the only reasons I'd buy a PS3.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

They better come back to PS3.

 

[RickO'Connell]

Little Big Planet is one of the only reasons I'd buy a PS3.

Final Fantasy & Star Ocean were my reasons to get one

 

[StrainedEyes]

Lego Batman has been getting pimped this E3. It was the game-in-disc during the Xbox dashboard presentation, and now it's getting bundled with the PS2.

 

[RickO'Connell]

Watch this or go in my pool the decisions

 

[Jennifer Walters]

So far your not blowing anyone away, Sony.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Woo racing.

 

[RickO'Connell]

So far your not blowing anyone away, Sony.

I think the Microsoft Announcement ****ed this one up because everyone is expecting them to have just as a big announcement. But so far this is worse then Nintendo's

 

[StrainedEyes]

I still find Home a little silly. Virtually sit on a couch and chat with your friends.

 

[RickO'Connell]

Is it me or are they trying really hard to push this video service ? Especially how Jack asked to explain the PSP thingy. They seem to be trying real hard here & wait when was Sony behind "Digital Content" ? That is Microsoft's thing

 

[Fading]

Didn't realize this was on til you guys said that. First thing I saw turning to it tho was the PSP deal, not bad tho I alrdy own one. $199 tho for a silver PSP, Ratchet and Clank Size matters, National Treasures 2 UMD, voucher for Echocrome and so on, not a bad deal. Also the Resistance game looked good for a hand held game, tho first person shooters can be difficult to control on the PSP, tho it looks to be over the shoulder third person.

 

[RickO'Connell]

I am out. See you guys later I will read up in here if I missed anything but I doubt I will
