E3 2013

Sony took jabs at MS tonight and the crowd ate it up. And with the P$4 $100 less than XboxNone, I see Sony winning huge in first round of the next gen wars. This reminds me of Saturn vs Playstation all over, again.

Edit: Seems they are imposing a Ps+ subscription to anyone whio wants to play online. Hmmm... That's their version of XBox Live?

[krisvds]

^^ I guess so. Your subscription apparently works across their three platforms (PS3 + PS4 + Vita), you get a lot of free content but the subscription is mandatory to play online. Not a fan of this policy to be honest. After years of spiting microsoft for xbox gold and all that (pretty much justified) sarcasm concerning DRM at their E3 conference you'd expect them to keep this news under the radar. Sneaky sony.

[MinionZombie]

no need for any online ever. If MS don't change their tune, or my Internet set up doesn't change (unlikely to), I think Sony will likely be getting my money in due course. *sarcastically slow claps MS* *edit* Take that MS.

^^ lol!!

Hmm... Microsoft seem to be having a Battle of Yonkers style E3 this year!

[MinionZombie]

And here's the video of them saying 'no online required and feel free to trade games' - the moment a sea change occurred?

[Neil]

I think a couple of people in the audience were a little bit pleased by some of that news... Sony basically just bent M$ over a table and b*tt f***ed them

There's also this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...be-region-free Region free PS4. Might not mean much to anyone but fans of japanese games that don't get localised but still ...

Just caught up with Nintendo's. Some good stuff like Bayonetta 2 and a new Smash bros, but honestly i was surprised by the lack of new mario and zelda titles considering how long the console has been out. Still its great to see Megaman alive and kicking and Bayonetta is the sort of thing that can sell me the Wii U, its just kind of a bummer that they really didn't have much new stuff to show and instead relied on fan service announcements like smash bros character trailers. - - - Updated - - - Some trailers Super Smash Bros. Mad Max Halo 5 The Order, 1886 Bayonetta 2 Final Fantasy 15 Quantum Break Destiny Byeond: Two Souls PS4 Indie Games Showcase Pokemon X and Y Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warefare

You forgot this one for people who like anime/JRPG's. It's another wii u exclusive and is quite the looker. That's all in game they say. Pretty astonishing.

[Rottedfreak]

Well despite the crap ports, Wii U does have a decent unhindered CPU, a GPU two generations ahead of 360 and 1GB of RAM dedicated to visuals. It's been argued they could do a decentish Ryse and Dead Rising 3 with optimization on the platform. Did you see Mario Kart 8? I admire Nintendo's honesty with these trailers they shown mostly in game footage. Heck during Microsofts Dead Rising 3 presentation I heard the windows chime suggesting he was playing it on a PC.

Yeah most of microsofts were running on a pc version of the games, you could see the "backspace" style key prompts in the ui, this seems to suggest the rumours of the console being being might be up to speed. Which naturally meant sony and nintendos conferences had things like slowdown and such because those were the in development console versions. I'd say after looking it all over all 3 offered some interesting titles, but its really the multiplatform ones that have taken the crown so to speak for this years E3. Which honestly is what i prefer, regardless of plastic box under your tv being able to play a game regardless is usually a good way to see a series stay alive.
