Title: E3
Post by: HUD on May 08, 2006, 06:13:17 PM
So it's E3 time. Any thoughts? Anything you are looking forward to seeing? For me, its Crysis, that game looks ridiculously good...looks like I may have to update my 6 month old rig. Part of me is intrigued by the new nintendo, but I think my console days are officially over.

oh i'd love to go...i'm looking forward to hearing about nintendos console as well...the ps3 just doesnt interest me at all. I hate sony...after what they did to SWG i will never support them again.

Yeah my ps2 is now a $300 dvd player. I haven't had a reason to turn it one since San Andreas. I traded my thumb blisters in for wasd claw.

Well, Gates is taking a bath on every xbox that is sold. They are trying to make up for it by buying up all the publishers and making profit on software. I'm sure that Sony will lose money on the hardware as well. I guess they are planning on putting out more crappy 1st party games. I AM surprised that they went $100 over MS. But, their online service is going to be free, so that may actually make it break even. If PS3 games are $50, maybe it will swing the cost argument to their side. It's insulting to charge people $60 for Oblivion on X360 and $50 for PC.

ya know if you figure out the command sequences and remember them the PSP is really the only thing sony has that rocks in the "affordable" range. (if your going high end theres always a better gig ya know.)

but i have yet to use it as a psp game player....though its now in my sons hands, i did load it up with alot of stuff. it networks easy, transfers data easy, picture for movies is spot on, web cam remote viewing can be done with it, not so easy but get through the setup....

Yeah that's the thing....these consoles are getting more and more PC like with every generation. Eventually you have to ask yourself what's the point? Maybe if someone didn't have a PC and they wanted to play games....or maybe if you are in to certain genres like sports games, tekken type games, or mario type platformers. But, FPRPGS, FPS, RTS, etc. will never transfer better on a controller. The consoles could explode if somebody comes up with some sort of MMO that translates.
