Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[E3 2011] SONY - Post-keynote wrap-up and discussion here!
Posts
Edit: and yeah, about television they still have the issue that a bunch of families have only recently busted out for the LED/Plasma televisions and aren't wanting to replace them. My family bought a 55" when we got some money a couple of years ago and are not looking to trade that in anytime soon. When I go out on my own I might buy one, but that will be 2-4 years from now. And in general alot of families have bought a big television and don't want to replace them, especially considering how much of a lack of good movies and games that use 3D (though Sony seems to want to fight that.)
I was not only shocked there was no GOD4 but what happened to Twisted Metal? That was a huge announcement last year and it's supposed to come out this fall and they didn't even mention it. It could have been a huge bump.
and the vita looks cool. I really hope it has TV out like the PSP. My wife was watching the mod nation racers part and got really excited for that and LBP.
Okay yeah, it's official; Jeremy won our hearts over.
Uncharted, Wipeout, Little Deviants and Hot Shots Golf are meant to be launch titles, I'm pretty sure they'll be good on that front. Add Ridge Racer, rumoured games (Lumines) and a number of probable ports (MW3, MK and all the usual sports games) to that and it'll be an even better launch than the PSP's (which was itself the best since the DC).
Edit: Here's the confirmed launch games so far:
- Uncharted: Golden Abyss
- Hustle Kings
- Wipeout 2048
- Virtua Tennis 4
- Super Stardust Delta
- Sound Shapes
- Hot Shot Golf (Everybody's Golf)
- Real Fighters
- Little Deviants
I'll probably add it to the (Vita) OP tomorrow. Very tired at the moment.
As a big 360 and Kinect fan, I loved the Microsoft show, and they certainly generated a pile of chatter without any new hardware reveals, but honestly? I think Sony won E3 this year. Just.
Imagine a consumer grade TV that uses this tech to display a major 3D football game on one display and the Oprah Network on the other. Imagine earbud audio integrated into a $89 set of glasses. Imagine how many marriages this would save.
If only Sony can get something like that into the consumer/retail channels before the next Super Bowl, I suspect they can pretty much start printing money.
Slightly awkward moments made worse with technology!
This type of stuff is already in the market and the fact that so many people think the TV they talked about at the conference is the first to do it shows how little people care about the tech.
i would punch a baby for this to happen with MW3 this year....
Well, on the other hand, it certainly hasn't generated any buzz before now, so was it worth caring about?
I'm already sold on Ruin, as a concept at least (this could change), but I won't buy a Vita until more games come out for it that I feel I need to play. My standard buying-point for a console / handheld is matching the unit price in video game total price. $250 Vita means $250 worth of (new price) video games I want. And it doesn't mean buying it all at once, people keep trashing this system I've worked out for myself thinking I'm going to drop $500 in a single day.
thats.... actually pretty sound knowledge lol
never used that logic but i think i will from now on especially for the Vita lol (i like the name btw -- PSV!)
that being said... i would buy this for just MW3 cross platform and pay for both the ps3 and PSv versions lol
They even share classes.
Save? That marriage is already fucking DEAD. That doesn't sound healthy at all.
