Sony just has so much. It's really hard to compete with that with multiplats and exclusives that we've already seen in past generations. I'm glad everyone had a great time though for the most part! ! For me best in show was definitely the Vita!!!!!! Dust and Ruin look crazy gooood.

Boody-Bandit4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

Sony won all of E3 (conference, games and new hardware) and they did it without showing fake games and not tech demos. Sony had it all this year and cross platform gaming is going to be sweet. Plus the Vita looks to be the most amazing handheld released to date.

They had games, games, games and more games plus new IP's. You cant ask for more.

Shok4734d ago

What new IPs? I saw Uncharted, Resistance, InFamous 2, ModNation, LBP, Starhawk (Warhawk sequel), and Sly 4. None of those are new.

Yea that had games but pretty much 99% of the things they we've already seen and knew what were coming.

Nintendo didn't even have any Wii games present though so they lost in that aspect.

HavenDan4734d ago

Great quality there, I can see the new shock mic is really working out!

-Mezzo-4734d ago

With Uncharted 3, Starhawk, Sly 4, Dust 514, Exclusive Cone For All The EA Major Releases, PSVita Price, PSVita Games, etc, I think Sony Nailed It.

jaredhart4734d ago

N definitely won. Ps3 2nd place.

carter204734d ago

why he have disagrees its personal opinion... or arent we allowed this any more

Pintheshadows4734d ago

I know it's my opinion but I don't see how Nintendo won. They showed a new console that was poorly explained and which bought them into the current generation. The controller is silly and looks like something you'd find in an Early Learning Centre. They then showed some target footage and some multiplatform games that are not even really confirmed.

Apart from that it was Mario, Zelda and Starfox all over again. I don't get Nintendo. They are moving forward yet they are still stuck in the past.

Bell Boy4734d ago

not only that they showed multi plats running on PS3 and 360...wow they will finally have HD...lol

KonaBro4734d ago

Going to disagree with you on this one HHG. Nintendo's conference was mired by misinformation on part of Wii U, obviously the biggest component of the whole press event. If done right, Nintendo could have taken both the conferences and E3 themselves but instead they kind of shot themselves in the foot. The 3DS presentation was good but I don't think it was enough to overcome Wii U. Also, Reggie must be a really cool guy to kick it with.

Pintheshadows4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

Frankly the PSV Eindhoven overshadowed the Wii U. I mean that controller should just be scrapped. It looks like a toy.

@kesvalk. I like Americans but the guys that were presenting made me cringe. One of them was wearing a suit FFS. You're not a BBC news reporter. I won't think less of you if you're in a T shirt and jeans. I might even forgive food stains.

Sony CEO says although AI "has been used for creation," it's "not a substitute for human creativity"

"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.

...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!

..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.

isarai5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

They used to be 😞 sure it was always a business, and money's always the priority, but they used to have a very strong stance on supporting artists and creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" was a phrase they touted a few times back in the ps1-ps3 era, a philosophy carried over from their music branch PlayStation was created from. It's not COMPLETELY gone, but it's barely there compared to what it was back then, i just want them to return to that.

Eonjay4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I am highly encouraged by their statement about human creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" is exactly what they are saying. But at the same time, I don't think people understand that Sony is a corporation. If they don't realize growth, they don't get to exist. When you say 'Sony', you are talking about a bunch of investors. To speak about them any other way is a illogical and incorrect. They haven't changed. They have been a group of investors since they became a public business.

isarai5d ago

Ugh, i really wish people would stop gambling people's livelihoods by turning a project/game into their political soapbox. Im all for statements and having your own opinion, but there's more people working on this than just druckman, ham fisting your political beliefs onto just seems inconsiderate for everyone elses job security when it can result in a failure due to people avoiding it for that reason.

I play games for escape, im so tired of nearly every AAA game blatantly dragging real world issues to shove in my face when I'm trying to take a break from it all. They don't even bother to be subtle about it, quite the opposite, it's blasted and force fed to you and it's just getting exhausting

Einhander19724d ago

People are taking a whole interview and cutting it down to clips that make him look bad and take what he actually was saying out of context. For example he also said things like this AI has "ethical issues we need to address"

-Foxtrot4d ago

@Einhander

Why defend him at this point?

It’s not taking things out of context, he said what he said.

Old ND would never talk about soulless AI taking over so many creative things they are well known for. The whole “ethical issues” is just a good PR spin people who push this crap fall back on to make their statements not seem as bad. So many AI lovers do this.

AI has no place is so many creative based things.

Einhander19724d ago

Well yeah, because everyone else is using it so they need to stay competitive. It's the same as paid online, they didn't want to go that route but their competition was making so much money they needed to add paid online just to keep up.

RaiderNation4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

AI will never replace humans in game development in terms of conceptualizing new games. Humans still need to come up with the ideas and what they want to implement. However much of the day to day menial coding could be AI driven to reduce production time and team size. I could also see AI being used for bug testing/optimization that could lead to better quality games at launch. I'm actually very optimistic about how AI can positively impact game development.

Good statement but hopefully this holds up

NotoriousWhiz4d ago

People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.

It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.

Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.

15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.

Eonjay4d ago

AI in and of itself is not a 'bad'. Money is bad. Money is evil, and corporations will do whatever they can to get more of it. They will find ways to implement AI to replace as may jobs as possible. This isn't even up for debate. It is the charge of the corporation to maximize returns for the investors. They have no choice. I'm a developer and I know that my job will absolutely be replaced. Therefore, I have decided to become an AI dev. AI has a lot of potential to help us solve problem on a scale most can't even imagine. The issue, as ever is that our monetary system only ever allows us to focus on greed and fiscal growth.

But I am a pragmatist. Perhaps an AI model can be built to help protect us from our most dangerous instincts and habits. And perhaps Congress can pass laws to protect us from people who would use AI to manipulate and control us (spoiler: they wont).

RaiderNation4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Progress is inevitable. Nobody driving cars today is complaining that the horse and buggy is no longer around. Yes, some jobs will be lost but guess what? With innovation comes new job opportunities. It's how the cycle of the job market works.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H98d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX7d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H97d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro7d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos6d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger888d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk777d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos7d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris7d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman11d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath211d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
