Video Game Warzone #44 - E3 Is Not A Competition

Torrence Davis of The Bitbag writes, "On this episode we debate heavily on whether E3 is a competition or not. Torrence suggests that a competition has a winner and a loser. If E3 has a winner, then who is the loser? Hiphopgamer suggests that E3 is a competition and compares it to a hiphop concert which Torrence also says is not a competition. Toward the end of the show all hell breaks loose when Hiphopgamer and Weapon X declare that Sony's price drop will be $100. Torrence loses it for about 20min trying to make the two understand that Sony can't afford to drop it that much and makes a bet with them.

Also on this show…

* False E3 rumors (Torrence)
* What old games are you looking to get? (Torrence)
* Do I and should I care if Heavy Rain could be done on 360? (Jon)
* Sony may win E3 (Hiphopgamer)
* Nintendo's next peripheral may be Power Glove (Hiphopgamer)
* And much much more…"

love bitbag.com, love warzone listen to it eveyweek :)

Lifendz5495d ago

and yes, it does have a loser. Look at last years E3 and see the universal reaction to Nintendo and it's pretty apparent that there is a loser.

There may not be an objective winner that comports to the traditional definition of what constitutes a winner, BUT the media always picks who had the best show which I guess is a winner to you.

Torrence is maybe the biggest control freak out there. He really wants to police what other sites talk about and what gamers concern themselves with.

tordavis5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

Where did that come from and what do you mean? I haven't tried to control any other sites. You're insane man. LOL

I can't believe so many people are upset that I declared there can't be a winner at E3. Wow. I will be doing Best Of Show this year but that's opinion based and it's per game, not per company. Lifendz, you have some issues with me. Bring a mic next week.

aldesko5495d ago

Yeah, I just started reading thebitbag and like it a lot.

JoySticksFTW5495d ago (Edited 5494d ago )

Try telling MS, Sony, and Ninty that... They're competing alright

EDIT

"I can't believe so many people are upset that I declared there can't be a winner at E3."

No one is upset. We just don't agree with your statement. A statement that I personally feel was not well thought out when you consider how much attention these events get where the biggest announcements are made.

I pointed out before GTA4 and FFXIII on the 360 were two staggering announcements, that brought a lot of heat and sales to the 360 and took away from PS3.

True, these announcements could have been made anytime, anywhere. But they were made on the biggest stage for video games with all eyes on them, whipping both media and gamers into a frenzy. Sony, MS, and Nintendo fight for that heat every year, because it translates into publicity, affirmation from media/gamers that theirs is the system to primarily own, and ultimately sales.

We all talk about MS as marketing geniuses - because they always put their next big game in your face at all time. Why wouldn't game studios, console makers, etc compete for that spot light at E3? They all get to show their product, but they want people remembering their product first and foremost. And they compete for that.

Keep up the great work on Warzone

Everything in life is a competition. Life itself is a competition.

nolifeking5495d ago

If e3 wasn't a competition, there would be no best of E3 award, the big 3 would not be trying to one up each other and the FFXIII announcement wouldn't be as big as it was.

Max Power5495d ago

a fun thing that mags would do, by giving a grade and what not, but the whole "winner" thing is a rather new thing that has been blown up by fanboys and media, just like sales. ---->IMO<---- be kind.

Max Power5495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

he bad mouths N4G member so much, but I bet we supply the majority of his traffic, oh well, so far a good show. Keep it up Torrence, ya doin' good.
EDIT: Since you are a Celtic fan, you got my hit from now on. Well, that and you are pretty impartial to gaming.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy011d 15h ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
