Sony convinces in its conference

Sony picked up the glove thrown by Microsoft the previous day and celebrated one long one and completes conference in the E3 in which it showed, as it was predicted, its new portable PSP Go! , it presented/displayed its own system of detection of movements and announced several exclusive rights for PlayStation 3, aside from showing some of the titles greater they wait for than us for the next months.

I am with you on this MGO, MS was good. Sony was better.. Nintendo, while I look forward to New Super Mario Bros. Wii Nintendo falls in last place just like last year.

Lets all bow to the mighty God known as Sony. Before and after of the best game ever made. http://i44.tinypic.com/5lyj...

Tony P5460d ago

^^^I'm good on the bowing, acolyte.

But I look forward to Last Guardian/Trico and to Team Ico topping SotC. Also Heavy Rain, maybe Uncharted 2 (it looked pretty awesome though I've never played the first), MAG, and the games that didn't take centre stage like the new Shin Megami wherever you are.

Rigmaster5460d ago (Edited 5460d ago )

Everyone has different tastes, of course.

But it hard for me to imagine anyone not buying Uncharted. The first game I've ever played that actually felt like you were playing a real live Hollywood blockbuster movie. And of course the insane graphics.

And Nathan Drake is easily one of the greatest main characters ever in video games. Half-tuck FTW.

Cupid_Viper_35460d ago

"In general, looking at it in perspective, the conference has not been as spectacular or impressive as that of Microsoft, but it can be said that Sony has convinced, or who has defended very well"

Which perspective? the bias one maybe? Sony showed more games than MS and Nintendo combined?

Rigmaster5460d ago

That is kind of true, but not in the silly fanboy way the author tried to imply.

Microsoft's conference was spectacular. Just not in a good way. The single big game they unveiled that was supposed to shock the gaming world turned out to be:

1. Multiplatform

2. Disowned by the creator of the series himself

Microsoft's conference wasn't just a spectacular failure, it was epic.

Your blind or just in denial if u think Sony didnt own this E3.

Yes, they conviced me...

To wait another year before I pick up a PS3.
Where the hell is the Xmas line up...

Rigmaster5460d ago

Wow!

That is shocking news! The guy who trolls Sony forums spouting inane garbage about PS3 and Xbox 360 graphics and development...says he isn't 'convinced' to buy a PS3.

Sony has failed!

Mucudadada5460d ago

Where is the X-Mas line-up?

Uncharted 2
Ratchet and Clank
Heavy Rain
White Knight Chronicles
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Demon Souls
Afrika
...The list goes on, I haven;t even added the amazing PSN games coming out. Not to mention you have freaking GOW 3 coming out in March.

So, ya, there is your Xmas line-up...

Arnon5460d ago (Edited 5460d ago )

There's a release date for

Heavy Rain
White Knight Chronicles
Ratchet & Clank
Afrika (even though I don't want this in the least bit)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

???

Asking a serious question btw.

Only retail games that I know of for 2009 are:

Killzone 2
inFAMOUS
Uncharted 2
MAG

Rigmaster5460d ago

Heavy Rain is definitely not coming out in 2009.

Ratchet and Clank is Fall 2009

White Knight Chronicles is late 2009, I believe

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is September, I believe

Arnon5460d ago (Edited 5460d ago )

So there really isn't too much this year :(

2010 is obviously gonna own though

Rigmaster5460d ago

"So there really isn't too much this year :( "

That was a joke? Right?

Arnon5460d ago

Uncharted 2
MAG
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Ratchet & Clank

Since nothing has a release date yet, it's not really fair.

mynd5460d ago

Your all guessing at the Xmas line up.
There is nothign solid or verifable.
I was expecting release dates. They didnt come.
On the other hand as someone pointed out, 2010 is going to a killer year for the PS3.

Love all the hate guys, I ask were is the Xmas line up, nobody can answer the question, because you dont know.

@Ringmaster, Oh I'm convinced to buy a PS3, simply on Gt5 alone, but I will wait till next year, then I can pick up KZ2, GOW3, GT5 and other good titles at budget prices, as well hopefully a price cut. Till then I'll wait.

mynd5460d ago (Edited 5460d ago )

@Mucudadada
"Where is the X-Mas line-up?"

"Uncharted 2 "(Yes-awesome)
"Ratchet and Clank" (Yes- Insomniac are work horses, every credit to them)
"Heavy Rain" (delayed till 2010)
"White Knight Chronicles" (delayed till 2010)
"Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 "(?? how is this going to get me to buy a PS3)
"Demon Souls" (Possible)
"Afrika" (Now your grasping at straws)
"...The list goes on" (no it doesnt it didnt even get as far you listed)

"Not to mention you have freaking GOW 3 coming out in March."

-Oh I havent forgotten, it's most likely the time I will be picking up a PS3.

Arnon5460d ago

Seriously I'm not ragging on the PS3 here at all since I own one and I've been loving it. inFAMOUS is actually pretty entertaining compared to the demo. We KNOW the PS3's exclusives are always top notch games. But where is the 2009 line-up? Everything so far can only be classified as a 2010 release since there's no release dates.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow6d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1825d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie4d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere4d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX5d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno5d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno5d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii4d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
