Title: E3 live
Post by: neXus on May 09, 2006, 01:26:18 AM
I am watching the sony conference live now, at this very moment watching gran torismo HD for the psp.
Rolling reply only stuff so far, but look very swish i must say, but not that a big of a leap from the last ps2 one though.

Oh wait, hes actually playing it now, PS3 Playable at last.

Just seen a wicked Itoy game.

Card based game where you have actual cards. The itoy points down on the table and you place the card in front of it. You touch the card and it summons the boss, you can move the card that moves the creature and place other cards and then battle by touching the card to activate abilities.

That is dam celver and looks dam good.

PSP:
Memory stick booting game - Ridge racer.
It was square view but you can switch it to widescreen much like the gameboy colour did.
They are looking to offer free and payed psp game downloads to use on your memory sticks, games will not be huge but will be things like ps1 games.

Now we have the UI for the ps3 and the online buying zone. OOOOH
Xbox live feel all over it

(note: Controllers used so far have been silver normal ps controlers)

Showing song downloads and HD music videos, You can get lyrics with them as well and use songs you download on the new singstar for ps3.

Showing how you buy a song now, 0.00 dollors, lol "we dont want to give our pricing out yet"

Oh yeah, they gave the date for PS3 - Early November

The demos are playable but they are from a stack of pc type desktop cases and they are big! Sony large amp size. Bit worried, i hope booths actually have Sony ps3 in the box.


You can plug you psp into your ps3 and on F1 game for examle you can have the re-view on the psp.

Watching some 3d arena beat um up, graphics are stunning but the physics engine is something else, the body contact and scene interaction is what we have craved for a long while, dead or alive for me was the first that had better player and AI contact, but this is very swish.

Whats next:
Video real of games to come further down the line --

#Lair - short video, nothin special
#Half life 2 engine game by the looks of things, and it is..... getaway, again short video, looks nice though
#Sum strange zoo game, its just the saffari with animals, lol, wtf - Afrika
#Sky, house, grass, golf ^^ cartoon special ability based, its that one on the ps2, again video real, actual in game now - Everybody golf


What i will say though, stuff look sweet but so far they are again nothing like what the video trailers last year were showing and although they are showing a lot, its a bit lacking so far.

Two new game trailers never been seen before:

Eight Days- Better look at a game by the looks of it, showing some in game, aaha, now this looks more like it. In game does look very good but again its a trailer and not somone playing it, but if that is true in game - looks really dam nice, lighting and character animation is top draw.

No title (from naugty dog) some guy in the jungle, nothing special

Here we go, an fps playable. Resistance fall of man
Set in an alternate world war with aliens battle in the uk last place of thw world.

Fast pased, nice glow effects, scenary isnt destructive :( graphics again look nice. Draw distance is top draw, really far.
This is definatly ex video intro of a game over actuall game play.

42 player online

-------------------------------------------------------------------

End of playable games, not much really but at least its something but only a handfull of playable PS3 games at e3 and not running on actual ps3 machines but "tools" (big boxes) im a bit worried by that and a November release WORLD WIDE they recon!

More vids:

Assasins creed
Gundam game again, same trailer as on web
Coded arms
Ridge Racer 7
Bothers In Arms Hells highway
Tekken Billion, lol kidding, its Six.
Sonic, Love sonic - Sonic the hedgehog
Tennis - virtual tennis 3
Virtual Fighter 5
OMG new wipeout - this looks stunning! (video feed dies on me :( )

Post by: neXus on May 09, 2006, 18:00:08 PM
NINTENDO

Zelda, playable, OMG, this looks insane.

The controler secrets have been revealed.
The remote has a speaker! yeah, you hear your local (on zelda bow string) sounds then the arror from the remote to the tv sound system.
The contoler also has rumble!

The graphics are not bad, they are quite good really since its the less powerfull but the guy playing it doesnt seem to find it hard using the controller.

Two versions of zelda, it will hit the gamecube on the day it is out with the Wii

Peter Moore didnt say the game would be a timed exclusive, he said that theyd have it on day one and would have exclusive episodic content available via the Live Marketplace. This could still mean that it will release on the PS3 on the same day, but the PS3 wont have the extra content that will be added.

Nintendo have been great at the show, one of the reasons why:

Their controlers are wire free, no security wires, nothing, they allowing people free movement at a risk (its a large booth and apperently they cant watch everyone)
Sony on the other hand are using cordless controllers but all with a casing and wire so you cant really be 100% free.

Quite a few people have come away disapointed in the games for the wii.  Very gimmicky and nothing that screams "Im making use of the Wii controller properly and not just for the sake of it".

They way things are going, I can see the 360 and the Wii coming out on top atm.  Not sure why though.

I have recently been impressed with the Wii and how it all seems to work.  Plenty of intresting games coming

From xbox-scene.com

QuoteMicrosoft Corp. sided with rival Nintendo Co. Ltd. on Wednesday in the fight to unseat video game leader Sony Corp., saying many consumers will choose to buy both of their machines for the price of one PlayStation 3.

"Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?" Peter Moore, a Microsoft vice president, said in an interview. "People are going to buy two (machines.) Theyre going to buy an Xbox and theyre going to buy a Wii ... for the price of one PS3."
Moore then turned pitchman for Nintendos Wii, the latest offering from the Japanese company that once dominated the video game industry.
"People will always gravitate toward a competitively priced product -- like what I believe Wii will be -- with innovative new designs and great intellectual property like Mario, Zelda and Metroid," Moore told Reuters.

"We have 100 percent market share of the next-generation, and their job is to take that from us," said Moore.
"When I think on everything that weve got going right now that is real versus what Sony promises to do six, seven months from now, obviously we feel very good about where we stand."

The Wii is going to be a nice thing to own, for anybody.  Out of the 3 consoles ive yet to see anything actually revolutionary from Sony or MS.  That controller alone makes me grin.  Pass me me my sword, and let me play  8)
Title: Re:E3 live
Post by: M3ta7h3ad on May 12, 2006, 23:38:49 PM
You know why its called a Wii yea?

Its a marketing slant.

Wii = We

"Wii will lead the gaming industry into the future"
"Wii will provide the gaming experience Wii feel will benefit you the most"

Its that crap.

And why Wii and not We?

Because of ii

ii = "2 player symbol" on arcade machines, it symbolises the coming together of people to play the games.

i = very similar to the actual controller.

CCP Games were apparantly in E3 as well with a 2 storey booth including a bar. But I cant find any bloody info about their stand other than the stuff on the Eve-online website that I cant fecking access as im refusing to renew my account while im doing my exams as its too damn distracting.
