Sony E3 press conference – everything in one place

Hey guys, I was just wondering and all…since like the main thing Sony was shooting for today was the whole 3D thing for all their games pretty much….how does it actually look? Can anyone say…? Is it really game defying, or will it just die down….? I mean, does it really change the way a game is seen? I haven’t heard anything about how well the 3D performs in some games, so if anyone can clear that up, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Well that was a very dissapointing show from Sony. A few money hats, and in typically arrogant Sony style, a lot of slagging other people off. A sure sign of lack of confidence in your own product is to concentrate on competitor products.

The only really exciting thing for me this year was seeing space combat in Halo.

Ninty had the best show without doubt. I’m very tempted to get another Wii. Kinda regret trading my old one in now.

@52 When the hell did Sony slag other people off? I must have missed that bit. I did see them take the piss out of a few competitors products, but I never saw them stoop to the level of Aaron Greenberg.

He’s talking about Kevin Butler.

@Gekidami I did see the Kevin Butler thing, but all he did was take the piss. Not exactly slagging other people off was he.

@52 Compared to Microsoft piece of pathetic fail press conference one Twisted Metal announcement finished it’s press conference.

and still i want to hear the price about that web camera with Eye Toy software with colorful graphics.

@51
Surprisingly well from what I’ve seen. If you are in the UK then take a trip to your local Sony store and they have demo units with video of Motorstorm, Wipeout and Superstardust available. Some stuff works better than others but the 3D effect of the TVs is very crisp and has a lot of potential for games.

The downside is the cost of the tech – tvs start at around £1400 – the better ones £1800+. A lot of people don’t like the glasses aspect but it doesn’t bother me – I wear glasses normally, I’m willing to don a voice headset for online games already – it’s not a big leap. The tech the 3DS uses will not scale up to a large screen and has other restrictions like viewing angle.

Lets not pretend Twisted Metal is a franchise that’s going to change the world.
The previous games were ok. But not world beaters.

It’s not the IP they should have ended on. And lets face it. Was an awful demo, of a quite poor looking game.

PS2 era graphics on a current gen machine?

@58 it’s not about the graphics. Twisted Metal was not impressive in the Ps1 era too.
Previous games were outstanding. (Twisted Metal 1,2)

It’s about the gameplay. It’s one of the first Car Combat games.
If you looked at the graphics, then you are looking at the wrong way. It’s like you are expecting from Nintendo games like Kirby to have Crysis graphics.
EatSleepPlay have 30 developers so there is no surprise that for the open world game like that + they will have a lot of cities and open world enviroments they have not so much of a graphics.

It’s not a Ps2 era. If you look at the Twsited Metal:Black. thats a Ps2 era.

Game have incredible gameplay and thats enough. Not to mention David Jaffe made incredible Multiplayer mode and that was a big surprise. Ressurection of a big Ps1 franchise from the REAL creators of Twisted Metal 1,2 games.

I’m not saying about Valve surprises and other stuff. I’m not saying that they are the best, look at the previous post, but at least they DID the conference.

@59

No way, you did not just fucking say that!

You are the biggest pixel whore on this forum but now all of a sudden graphics dont matter, as long as it’s a PS3 game, right?

You truly are a pathetic Sony fanboy.

@60 I’m sorry. But you never played Twisted Metal Game. I said before here that i don’t need change for the VALVE Source engine or a classic that don’t need graphics. I sad that? Yes i did.

And until these games have great gameplay and variety they can stay with the old engine and if that old engine looks great, crisp then it’s ok.

when Crysis 2 have a hype behind awesome cryengine 2 and looks crap on consoles then it’s a big dissapointment. to each game it’s own.

Twisted Metal was always like that. But here it’s not just a graphics, did you see a trailer where you can even jump to the cinema theater and smash stuff with cars? It was brilliant and fun.

I still think that invisible houses are NOT a nice thing and i wrote here about it before you started trolling shit.

So please, shut the fuck up, if i was a Sony fanboy i would say that Sony had teh best Press conference and in my opinion they are third at best and did too much talking. They could have a slick one hour presentation and that would be enough.

But they did important annoncements and one BIG surprise among others. I’m not dissapointed and i’m not happy. It’s just not enough.

twisted metal is following on a successful formula, ok the graphics are hardly awesome but the gameplay especially online has the potential for some really good laughs.

The trouble with TM today, online, is that the game won’t offer enough depth to keep gamers coming back. The game will be fun for a little bit and then lose its charm.

TM was a very good/fun game to play last gen. I just don’t think it translates into a full fledged MP monster today.

Destruction Derby with guns. I think Flatout, Blur, Split Second, Burnout, NFS HP, and others(hell Modnation and Mario Kart), offer a more indepth on the edge of your seat/white knuckles racing action.

I think this is one of those rose tinted glasses things. Esp for the Sony Diehard Fans.

@60

For your information I have owned Twisted Metal games before (my last one was Black). Quite enjoyed it and will probably get this one so dont tell me what I have and have not played.

You trolled the Alan Wake thread to fuck you silly little child and you troll pretty much every MS thread on this website. You made a huge fuss about 540p, even though Alan Wake looks better than most 720p games, so dont you dare try to deny it!

You harp on time and again about Crytek and Crysis, but when a 360 exclusive is annouced you call them and the game shit before anyone has seen any game footage.

You are a two-faced troll and you know it.

“You harp on time and again about Crytek and Crysis, but when a 360 exclusive is annouced you call them and the game shit before anyone has seen any game footage.”

Ok, where i said that Cryteks game is shit in E3 Kingdom announcement? Please show me where i said that it is SHIT?

“even though Alan Wake looks better than most 720p games, so dont you dare try to deny it!”

Because you are blind 360 fanboy. It’s not impressive. Same like Red Dead Redemption on Ps3 that sucks ass compared to the 360 version that has full 720P
But when i saw Alan Wake it was just bad except beautiful forest, beautiful forest, beautiful forest, beautiful forest and it’s only on 540P. On my friends 50 plasma it looks incredibly outdated and it’s not just my opinion. Go look the reviews or Eurogamers DF.

“you troll pretty much every MS thread on this website”

Your imagination. I speak for every thread no matter what, like OlderGamer. I don’t care about your console toys, you can play with shitty Move games or ports or a cheap web camera for 149.99$ as much as you want. I’m a PC gamer, i don’t need this crap. I need games and thats what im going to get on a systems i own and will buy 3DS.

and MS thread is also a PC thread. So fuck off.

Awww, poor little troll got upset. Are you going to cry, little troll?

Troll is also in denial.

@66 then don’t feed me, you Xbox 360 Halo fanbot

Still, where i said that Crytek with the Kingdom announcement is shit? Come on, you can do a lot more. Waiting for a link where i said that it is shit

I’d just like to know what motivates you to troll. I just dont understand what satisfaction you get from it.

You come across as dick when you troll. Is that what you want, for people to think you are a dick?

@68 you done already with your constructive thoughts? Or you will show me

“is annouced you call them and the game shit before anyone has seen any game footage”

a prooflink where i said it?
If you have nothing to say except your Psychological interest, then please don’t write.

@69

You can hunt down your own trolling.

Clue: It’s in every 360 article, troll.

@70 Clue: “It’s in every 360 article, troll.”

No, 360 fanbot.
