    Sony A: The lineup for both the PS3 and PSP looks very good, I am disappointed we havent seen Agent, FFXIII Versus or Heavy Rain. Not alot of surprises because of the leaks.

    MS: A-: its very close bit other then the big 3 exclusives Splinter Cell, ODST and Forza, nothing else stood out. Natal(despite the stupid name) is very ballsy.

    Nintendo B: It was better than last years, which isnt saying much. Wii Sports looks fun and despite being Rail Shooters Dead Space and RE look good. It sucks that we wont see Metroid or Mario until 010.

    you cant give sonys presser an A. They didnt unveil anything that the public didn't already know about. If its cause of the leaks, then thats their faults. Obviously nintendo doesn't have much problem with leaks, why does Sony?

    Nintendo really shocked me with what they announced. A new Mario bros. Wii game. Galaxy 2. New metroid game. Golden Sun and Mario vs. Donkey kong on the Ds.

    Microsoft was good but i hate project Natal. Forza and halo 3 ODST look solid though.

    My one question is this, how the hell is MAG going to be playable with 256 players and not lag like a *****? Its ambitious as heck but I just dont think we have the broadband network to make it work.

    Left 4 Dead 2 was a shocking and awesome announcement. Don't know if you played the first one, but for my money the game was awesome all the way around. Can't wait for the sequel.

    Getting more of Alan Wake was great too. From what I've seen and read, this game has potential to be great.

    I never played the first one so I cant really comment on that, and I dont know what it is but Alan Wake doesn't look that interesting to me, maybe because it looks too much like Silent Hill and I never liked that series.

    I forget the technology... It was developed by a small company contracted by Sony when Planet Side had lag issues. I was gonna make a thread on it, but figured nobody cared.

    Basically (the way i gather it) it works like this -- It works very similar to the way MP games work right now. Think a standard 12 on 12 match. Every group of 24 players are in a separate room or game. MAG (similar to Planet Side) should separate the map into pieces so the that players in the same sections are grouped together in the same "room" and it freely allows people to go in and out of sections. The server simulates movement and basic actions of player out of your section in short packets so every PS3 can see where every other player is.

    Like PlanetSide, I'm sure if all 256 players crammed close together, there's no escaping the lag.

    I'll look it up and get some links and stuff when I get time.

    Ohhhhhhhh. That could indeed work, I like it. Though it kinda reduces the scale of the thing. Its not actually 256 guys playing on the same map, its essentially a bunch of maps all in the same area that are probably set up so there is little or no inter lap. You wont be able to run out and take shots at any one of the guys on the other team.

    Too bad Nintendo is fixing their system with an add-on.

    Well PS3 created sixaxis, and this new thing is clearly a better system then that, so what do you mean?

    Sixaxis is far more of a failure than the wii remote.

    sixaxis was never meant to be the main appeal of the ps3. It was a failure.

    Wii's whole appeal is the Wii remote. Yet it isn't very accurate unless I buy this add-on.

    Sweet, thanks for making something that makes your system work like it should of when it was released.

    I saw the thing about the Modracers at the end of it, and they went on about how awesome it looked, IMO, it just looked like Mario Kart and My Little Planet mixed together. Not impressed by alot of what I saw.

    Thats not true at all. You knew the details of Agent? ModAction Racers? FF XIV? The Guardian? Sure there were some leaks but there were also plenty of new games and details of games we didn't know about.

    Hence the reason I said..... IMO

    Its not about Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo. I own a Wii and a PS3. Its about the quality of the games that were announced. There were maybe two or three that I saw Nintendo announce that I would be interested in, Galaxy 2 looks awesome. But in comparison, Galaxy 2 and Wii Sports Resort don't really match up to MAG, Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed 2, most likely Agent, ModAction Racers, GT5, GoW 3, Heavy Rain, etc.....

    Obviously its all about what you are interested in, but thanks for clearing that up. :up:

    I think Nintendo surprised me the most because they announced a lot of games that I never knew were coming. Also, they spent a good amount of time talking about GAMES as opposed to Wii Fit-esque ideas. It was a good show. I think Microsoft's was the most effective (if that makes sense). By effective I mean advertising their coming products to the market they're addressing. That does not include Natal or whatever it is... Because I have to try it to believe it.

    What is this one supposed to be? Because I was going to download all 3 current ones (the DLC I mean) and start playing. But if this new one will affect early game flow, I may wait.

    Interesting. I saw the same thing and I was impressed. Especially if the Kart racing is as fun as Mario Kart.

    The only thing that kind of worries me is are the levels going to be mostly the same.

    well there was a teaser trailer out for the guardian a week or two ago, so we did know it was coming. We still don't know anything about agent, only that there is a game called agent coming. So i don't see how thats news.

    FFXIV bothers me just like last years announcement of FFXIII bothered me. Its one thing to announce a game that won't be out until next year. but to announce a game that won't be out until 2 years or more? Whats the point? We're going to be talking about FFXIV for the next two years. Heck, we're still gonna be talking about FXIII at next years E3 IMO. Announcements for games that are so far away annoy me more than excite me. Sonys starting to do this all the time with their announcements and its getting really annoying. Gran Turismo 5 announced 3 years ago. God of War III announced last year won't be out until next year, FFXIV most likely won't be out until 2011 at the earliest, MAG was shown last year and no date was given, Home was supposed to be at launch, etc etc.

    Just don't announce games that aren't coming within the next year, Because E3 is every year.

    And Nascar too... Nascar 2000 whatever sucks. They all do. The fact that GT is bringing nascar into their brand is amazing. That is enough to get me excited. Online should be a blast (at least I'm hoping).
