Blazblue has 6 player lobbies as well, if that's what you're wondering about. View

I can think of some games that would fit the title much better. View

Just wait till next year when they announce the Wii Fertility Sensor. View

Why does Forza want Gran Turismo's balls? View

I do feel that both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were emotional experiences... but that's not to say they were really 'sad'. I think it resonates in the way the worlds are conscructed and how the music brings it all together. In Ico you feel very much trapped in this hollow place. There's a real sense of isolation. No game has ever made me feel the way I felt while playing through Ico. I've gone back and played through the ending several times simply because it's such an amazing experience. I've said it before... but the developers conscructed what really felt like a fantasy world. There was something so mysterious and magical about it.

Shadow of the Collossus, while keeping that same great artstyle really had a different feel to it for me. Alot of games have big enemies or bosses... but I think very few make you feel as small as you do in Shadow of the Colossus. The way they were able to emphasize scale was extremely impressive. With an incredible score to boot. I find it so unfortunate that their games haven't been met with more commercial success. They're such a talented team and I'm highly anticipating The Last Guardian. It's such a stunning game visually and I trust that it'll be something special just like their past efforts. View

Why would Turn 10 even bother to do this? It's a little online poll. It means absolutely nothing. Winning it wouldn't reap any great benefits for them. I can't say I'm exactly 'mad' about this as I don't see the point. It's rather dumb if you ask me. View

I think they both have potential. Alot of potential in fact. But I don't really wanna get too hyped over either at this point in time. We don't really know when exactly we'll see this technology and even if it does work it still has to be implemented properly into games. And I'd really like to see games that serious gamers would like to play. Games that I'd like to play.

When the Wii was first announced I was very excited. There seemed to be so many possibilities with these new control mechanics. Ultimately I was rather disappointed. I'm not trying to bash the Wii at all. If it's your preferred system I respect that. Not everyone's looking for the same thing when it comes to gaming. It's just that for me personally I felt (and still feel) that the Wii's motion controls were not well implemented into most games. And didn't have the precision I was expecting. That's not to say that Project Natal or Sony's motion controller will turn out the same way... but I'll curb my enthusiasm till I see (and can get my hands on) some real games that use these new peripherals.

I think it's much too early to be talking about which is better at this point. Even if one were to turn out to be the 'superior' technology, there's still the question of whether we'll see any really good games take advantage of it. And how many people really want "a new way to play". View

I do think that developers and companies should not conduct themselves in such a manner as this. Turn 10 has been talking far too much about Gran Turismo recently and it really seems unnecessary. I would much prefer if developers when asked about their 'competitors' would just say, "We don't comment on the competition. We'll allow our game to rest on its own merits." That to me isn't disrespectful and it exudes a cool confidence rather than arrogance. I know Turn 10 isn't the FIRST to talk alot about the competition. I mean, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and several other companies have done it at some point in the past and it's not any better when it's from them. However, this particular article is about Turn 10.

And I really don't wanna take anything away from Forza 3. They do look to be turning out a quality racer. Regardless of whether it's met with more or less critical and commercial success than the upcoming GT5... I believe they should simply be focusing on the unique features their game possesses. It's got some neat stuff and that should be more than enough to speak for itself. View

Those with darker skin can always try smearing some mayonnaise on themselves before playing.

Luckily I won't have that problem. In fact, I think the mayonnaise is a little darker than me. View

OMG, don't you know how important it is for these companies to be able to put "Won E3" on their résumé? :P View

It's hard to say whether or not MAG will really take off... but I do applaud Zipper for what they're attempting to achieve with this. Does it look generic? Sure. Almost all FPS games look generic now because there's a whole mess of them out there. To me that doesn't really matter much just as long as the gameplay is solid.

Also, I think it was Eurogamer that was praising this game back when they got some hands-on time with it. They're pretty tough on alot of games but they talked about MAG being "the one to beat" for Modern Warfare. That's a pretty bold statement. We'll just have to wait and see how this one turns out. Though honestly, I don't think lag will be one of the major problems if there are any.

Optimistic about this one. Looking forward to seeing lots more in the near future! View

It's their opinion so I'm not going to complain about it. To each his own. However...

"For me it was really disappointing that all they showed was that typical Gran Turismo 5 CG Trailer and no other information given."

Do people really believe that was all CGI? It looked superb, almost photorealistic at times... but it seemed to clearly be in-game footage to me. View

I'm not sure Heavy Rain will be a game with widespread appeal but I am intrigued by what it's bringing to the table. This whole concept of having no game over along with a story that will somehow continue on in one way or another is something I'd love to see integrated into other games. I know some will say that Heavy Rain "isn't a game." That it's only "an interactive movie". Truthfully I can understand how some of the recent gameplay videos that have been released could turn off certain gamers. That's perfectly understandable... but I don't think it's exactly fair to call it an interactive movie. Most games really aren't anything more than initiating inputs to activate a preset animation. Of course the majority of video games usually require some constant input to move forward with the animation(s). If you look at a game like Dance Dance Revolution... you're also simply hitting buttons (with your feet in this case) as you're prompted to by on-screen arrows. And in this particular case you're not affecting the game in any real way. It's just telling you when your inputs are in correct timing. As basic as this may be... somehow through the rhythm of the music and other factors this can manage to be a very engaging experience.

Comparing a dance game with Heavy Rain may be silly... and I agree that they don't have a heck of alot in common... but I do think in the same way that those games can manage to be engaging, Heavy Rain can as well. That's not to say that I think it will be all QTE's. I do believe there will be a high level of exploration and interactivity with objects within the environment as well. And I have played Indigo Prophecy, which I believe was a brilliant in some aspects, so I do have faith that Quantic Dream will at least achieve an experience that I myself can enjoy. Like I said, I'm sure it won't be for everyone... but I don't see it as 'regressive' of gaming in this day and age. I don't think it needs to be said that "we need more games like this". Rather, I believe we need more games which borrow some of the underlying concepts and feature mature thematic elements. View

Of course my expectation level may have varied among the 3, but I was mostly pleased with both Microsoft's and Sony's conference. Neither had announcements that truly 'shocked' me... even if there was a couple little surprises.

I do sort of have a problem with these type of articles. These 'opinion pieces' I guess you'd call them. Saying Microsoft (or Sony) won or lost - was defeated/crushed/embarassed etc. And you'll have folks who will agree with what's written and those who will disagree. The problem is we're not dealing with facts, and even if there were a consensus on who 'won' E3... that wouldn't exactly be any closer to 'truth'. Popularity (or lack of popularity) does not always go hand-in-hand with truth or even quality. Consoles ending in commercial failure such as the Dreamcast are not inherently bad. Games which reach high levels of success are not enjoyed by every gamer. However many people lean on such statistics to dictate what is 'true' to them. Or to attempt to dictate to the world what is 'fact'.

For many it seems as though this is hard to accept. That their opinion is just one among an endless sea of diverse thoughts and feelings. I honestly do not understand why X game must be at a certain level above Y game. Why X company has to beat Y company in whatever area. It's almost as if for some people their enjoyment is in some way tied to the idea that they're receiving a greater more enjoyable experience than someone else. If we applied this to all areas of our lives we'd be a wreck I think, because we'd be in constant tormoil over the fact that someone out there has more money, or more fame, or a more fulfilling lovelife.

I don't see why we can't drop all this fanboy stuff. Share our thoughts reasonably and 'politely' disagree with one another when a certain view is not shared. Instead of pushing out all these 'facts' that aren't really facts at all.

Personally I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2, Alan Wake, The Last Guardian, Mass Effect 2, Gran Turismo 5, Splinter Cell: Conviction, and Modern Warfare 2, and Final Fantasy XIII... just to name a few titles. Do I prefer one console over another? Well, at this moment I'm not ashamed to admit that the PS3 lineup has a little more of my interest... but I wouldn't want to miss out on any games. I won't enjoy one game any more or less just because of the device that I use to play it. And I don't think you need to attempt to convince anyone to be on 'your side'. Whether your opinion is popular or swings the way of the minority... no one's really wrong. Hype and sales figures will not make your personal game experience any better. At least I don't think it should. If that's somehow possible I really don't think it's beneficial to that individual.

At any rate, I've gone on long enough. Most of you probably won't even bother to read it all... but I just felt like sounding off anyway. Just try to enjoy the games folks. Not the little war that's been created... and not the smallest little graphical differences between games. We're all 'gamers' aren't we? I think we'd have a better community if we could see each other as all taking part in the same hobby without worrying about which side of the fence we're currently on. View

G4 spoke with David Cage at E3 and he said EARLY 2010. Also, just recently when they showed off the new footage just before E3 he was saying they're right on schedule with everything so I do think that's when we can expect it. View

These screenshots make me think of X-Files or something. But they're pretty badly compressed so I expect when we get actual video it's going to look a heck of alot nicer. You can see how the guy's sweating in that one shot that's the thumbnail for this story... but the detail is greatly lost due to the quality of the screenshot. View

The "trey" is the PS3. I'm not exactly sure where this term originated but I know that's what it refers to. I first heard some crazy guy on youtube use it. View

I just want to finally see some Alan Wake gameplay to get an idea of what the hell it's even going to be like. I expect good things... but it's been a long time coming.

A new Killer Instinct would be great as well. Though I haven't been too impressed with Rare's games this generation, I'd still like to see what they do with the fighting genre. Killer Instinct has its own very unique flavor so it will be interesting to see how they bring the series back. I for one hope that it stays true to its roots and don't go full 3D. I mean, character models are fine that way... but I'd like something more along the lines of Street Fighter IV rather than say... Tekken 6. View
