I am tempted to get a PSP Go. The games actually look tempting, the most they have been since the console first launched. But the sensible side of me says I should wait for PSP 2. What to do....

Nobody "wins" you tool.

It remains to be seen how good any of these games will actually be. Exclusives don't make a platform unless it's recently released and needs the sales. I have a feeling that the 360 announcements overall may be more of a platform-mover - Natal just seems more intuitive than the wand to me [read: I am not discounting the Wand from being a quality bit of kit, it is, but Natal just looked better IMHO assuming it works as Ellie suggests] and the social/music features are big. Maybe not to us hardcore gamers, but casual joe will like facebook, twitter, last.fm etc.

At any rate, it's not all about the games these days, as Wii clearly demonstrates.

I think what people fail to remember is that were now in June, and I would say 4 good exclusives a year is probably enough, why because from now until Xmas there are tons of games coming out, AC, Bioshock, MW, OFP, Dirt2, Overlord, just to name a few, I cannot afford too many more (in time not money :D.. so those people shouting that there are not enough exclusives are just crazy :D.

Yeah I'm seriously going broke with all the amazing games in the next year or so.

I already have £250 of pre-orders on Amazon FFS :-/

Debatable, apparently. Among gamers (for lack of a better term).
Or ...
Nintendo announced a new Wii Fitness and Sports type thingy. CRUSH. KILL. DEFEAT. $$$

You should try viewing the wii threads occasionally...

There's definately a sense of desperation about them... scared to end up in 3rd place...

@AphoticCosmos, lol yes tell me about it :D

I might leave a few of the titles longer this year, and hopefully the cost will drop. I still need to get Godfather 2 (got it free to play for a couple of days and the graphics are not great, but i enjoyed it), also still need to get Deadspace.. so the longer the year goes on the worse it gets, miss some and then have to pick them up, and before i do more games have already come out.

the quality of 360 trolls is really dropping
@EvilBob_leeds, its only Negotiator at the moment, and the two that normally troll every post (I dont need to say their names, its like Candyman if i say their names they might appear), and thankfully the two main trolls have been pretty quiet recently.

I just did a search on "Negotiator" in the nintendo conference thread.. he was just as bad in there

I quote:

"A sad day for Wii owners and Nintendo fans full stop, when they were showing Wii motion plus it was like Natal was on everyone's lips. A joke of a conference, lets hope Sony do alot better seeing as I just bought a used PS3, but its looking like Microsoft have won by a landslide."


What a sad loser.

(no not me for looking for his name.. him for posting it *smile*)

Its very pleasing to see so many MS fans who feel that MS had the better E3, and Sony fans who feel that Sony did.

Looks like everyone chose the right console! :D

@smelly,

You're posting as though you weren't trolling the 360 conf thread with negative comment after negative comment. I seem to recall you even cracking some sarcastic comment about how you were waiting for MS to announce their waggle controller, yet have conveniently overlooked that is exactly what Sony have done.

And then, in the Nintendo thread I seem to recall (if it wasn't you then forgive me, I can't be bothered to do a search) you ripping into MS's conference again. Funnily enough, you have done the same in this thread.

For all of your attacks on Negotiator, you are pretty much him in a cheap suit. You are Mr Hyde to his Dr Jekyll, Jordan to his Peter Andre, George Bush to his Hillary Clinton.

When you put all the fancy netal wii remote tech aside it comes down to software.
Uncharted 2,GOW3,Last Guardian,Final Fantasy 14,Gran turismo 5,Rockstars exclusive,Heavy Rain.
M$ must be shitting their pants now.
Hard facts are Sony have more talented first party developers.
Alan Wake looks real good but beyond that Im struggling to find anything.
According to ign Sony have one more big exclusive to reveal tomorrow.

Alan Wake is supposedly on PC as well meaning it's not really exclusive so that kind of takes away from the MS conference.

Forza 3 though :D

This is pretty funny it feels like all these console have just been launched again with the fanboys from each side desperately trying to convince themselves somebody stole the show(their favourite) and somebody has reason to be concerned(their least favourite).

Nobody had a killer E3 if you were to be honest, I think Natal will be the number1 highlight when we cast a look back when it comes to the next E3 but that isnt to say its a showstopper/dealmaker... from each conference it seems the people who came away most impressed from each are the ones who already own said console. I didnt hear anyone(with integrity... sorry Smelly, Les and fox we all know you like to pretend but I think anybody who still bothers to read your posts knows to take it with a pinch of salt beforehand) say "wow I have to buy a >insert console here< now" off the back of any of the games announcements and demos shown. Maybe there will be a few that were on the fence looking for an excuse that might have but there wont be that many.

All in all it looks like all 3 are still commited to their current platforms which hopefully means a longer generation all around.

Sinmple taste, 360 has as many and more that i'm personally into.

Funny how a timed thing on FF14 and a totally unknown R* game are already used as ammo. Doeesn't take long and smacks of desperation.

The likes of GTA episodes from R*, Halo, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Forza, Crackdown, LfD are stil very good to have and it's simply taste.

Just enjoy the great games on all the platforms.

@bad09.. so true and so nice to have the choice and not limit yourself to a brand through some wierd sense of loyalty to a faceless corp that gives not a shit about us.

"There's definately a sense of desperation about them... scared to end up in 3rd place...
"

Oh god sake. if you're neutral then you're not very good at showing it. Another troll ignored.

I would like to hear more about The Agent. The Last Guardian is looking very very nice and I am sure I will enjoy GT5 and God of War 3. I'd Definatly give ModNation Racing a go as well!

True, mind you what is a fanboy? I get accused of being a fanboy all the time on here, although on which side depends on which side I'm praising/moaning about at the time!

I'm a SDF XBot, or something...

What they don't realise is I'm actually a DC fanboy!

/ hugs SEGA and Shenmue

Anyway, anyone know if we got more game announcements this week or is that it now, I can't remember.

My thoughts on the conference over at my blog - http://videogamesatemybaby.wordpress.com...

It was a very good show which I gave a B-, lots of great stuff but most impressive of all was how they made people, including me, want to get a PSP. Never saw that one coming haha

If anyone says anything derogatory about 1 camp then they are labelled a fanboy. people do love throwing that title around, don't they?
Guess I'm a sony fanboy since I said something bad about Natal and hated the Nintendo borefest!!!
I didn't think anything about the wand either but the tag is probably already on me.

@NeonXaos: probably have to wait till the next big show. (TGS?) they can't have too many hardware reveals in 1 show afterall.

The PS3 motion controller looked way more precise and useful than what I have seen of the Wiimote even with the "pay more for precision" Motion Plus thingy. And they showed actual gameplay ideas instead of just... more of the same. Colour me interested.

Microsoft's effort is just higher-resolution EyeToy Kinetic - and it even requires a different peripheral than the existing camera, for some strange reason. So Sony already do prtactically what Microsoft are trying to do.

Now, back to waiting for the demonstrated titles to actually appear...
