E3 2013

GG Console war is over.

Sony is doing good.
Right when I was watching the Nintendo stream.
Smash Trailer came on and it started to lag, missed the trailer. bah that sucks, gotta wait till its posted

MEGA MAN CONFIRMED IN SMASH

Ugh, that Nintendo stream. I want some of those titles bad now. Bayonetta 2, new Smash Bros., that Wonderful 101 or whatever looked pretty cool too. I actually never even considered getting a Wii U at all, but now I kind of want one.

Nintendo didn't have a lot to show off today. It was a lot but it was still pretty solid I guess.



I know they have more events planned out for today, but I was left wanting more out of them.

Especially more releases this year.

KH3 alone made it worth for me to get a PS4! FUCK YEAHHH! albeit not from the start, since I'm gonna get it online and the price is going to be a little bit high the first months...

Its kinda backwards compatible. You can play ps3 games, but only on a cloud with psn plus I believe. the games are free however with psn plus so you are not paying to play the games you already have and dont have

$5 is not that much. It's like a sandwich a month. Plus psn+ right now is $50 for a year. And with all the benefits that come with it I'm totally fine with it.

I think for a lot of people it isn't so much that it's expensive, but that you're being asked to pay to play online multiplayer. I think it's a bit logical that they moved towards the this model because with the money they can afford better services and pay for the ones they're promising.(live streaming and what not)

Play Station 4 actually did some good marketing back there. I don't know about the price of PS Plus, but since you have to buy that for net play and in addition pay $5 per month to do multiplayer they could AFFORD to sell PS4 $100 less. They're going to recoup most of everything in just a few months! Why not?

I heard about the streaming, but as a possibility, I wasn't sure if they would have it. And if they mentioned it in the unveil I missed it. But that does make Plus even more "worth while".

Free games, backwards compatibility, multi-player for 5 dollars a month.


After reading a comment, I just realize. What was confirmed? Backwards compatibility? Or that with "optic disk". Or will the games have to be bought via PlayStation Network for a second time?

I found this article directed at PS disk, granted it's 15 days ago but...

http://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-4/Backwards_Compatibility

When they mention "emulation" do they mean just of games on harddrives or cds too?

As for my disdain towards the pay for model, It's pretty much exactly...



..this "word for word", as in, I understand the reasoning behind it and I can get over myself because of it. But considering backwards compatibility, and free games, I am surprise they have to use Multi-player as a hostage, I am mostly curious how costly their cloud server are for them.

Question, do game manufactures host the servers or PSN? Was that only up to the PS3, has it changed for the PS4 cloud service? Do companies, if on PSN, buy/rent a section of their servers?

I just got up and the 1st thing i see is Two Super Smash Bros Trailers :D

omg
ps4
it looks like xbox one
but tilted on the side
10/10 great idea no one will suspect anything

"Boss we have millions of these old empty ps2 cases. What do you think we should do with them?"
"Why don't we fill 'em up with ps4"
"But boss people will notice"
"how about we tilt the side"
"10/10 PURE GENIUS"

Sony is doing this very cleverly. Sure the price tag is $100 cheaper, but through PS Plus and monthly fee (for multiplayer) they can easily recoup and earn far more if players wants to go online. In the long run who knows, XBox One might even be cheaper for all its apparent defects right now.

words words words

That mgs music video was fucking baller. (Sins of the father is the new snake eater)


World of tanks: 50 seconds of nothing but what might as well be the same tank ejaculating its heavy load with the force of a thousand suns. It's always amusing to see the porn the more niche audiences watch. This one was gang rape.

Some kiddie shit.

Dark souls 2: Oh god, mah dick.

Ryse: Ye olde call of duty, featuring the scripted shit and QTEs we know and love, but with more face-to-face, sweaty, man on man action. (Bioware involvement confirmed.)


Killer Instinct: What the fuck kind of reveal was that? Too low a budget for the cinematic shit the other games got?

Sunset overdrive:


The marketing assholes writing this shit aren't even trying.

Forza: On-stage car porn. Oh god, someone think of the childrens! This is pretty much dragon's dogma vroom vroom edition.

MINECRAFT ON XBOX111!!ONE! Yawn.

QB: Game based on a tv show. Clearly a goty in the making. Step up your game, micro-softie.

D4:


More smart grass technology.



All this technological advancement is happening too fast for me.

Crimson Dragon: it is our goal to bring you innovation and a quality gaming experience, so as part of the next advancement in gaming, we bring you *dramatic pause* no sound. Only on xbox one.

Deadrising 3: more zombies and shit, with a mechanic reminiscent of Mercenaries.

Witcher 3: hide your women; the beardman cometh.

Battlefield 4: technical difficulties edition. We don't have doggies, but we've got more wub wub. Pls dont buy cowadoody.

Xbone exclusive claimed to be showing in game graphics. Bullshit.

Holy shit, master chief found the next gen legendary pokemon.

$500. Taken exclusively by Xbox one.

Titanfall: I thought black ops 2 was the futuristic cod (and you even get splashed with digital jelly when shot). Hard to be impressed by robo midgets after seeing Hawken. Then again, I'm more of an armored core motherfucker.

Conference rating: JediMindTrick/10

You will forget xbox one's shit, anti-consumer policies. You will bend over and let us xbone you in november.

I'll do a hit job on sony's conference in my next post. I'm sure there'll be some bullshit.

EA conference in a nutshell:
>NEXT GENURAYSHUN!
>Playing demos on a pc

Get fucked, EA. Deepen your knowledge of true ball handling.

I told myself I was done with console gaming after this gen, but with how the PS4 is looking so far, I just might grab myself one on launch. For me, it's all coming down to what kind of video capturing format they'll support.

Corporate trolling at its finest

Okay, so I watched some more footage, and I just saw that a new Panzer Dragoon game is coming out...... For the Xbone. For the love of God, I felt a tear in my eye when I watched the video.

First Halo 5, and now this? When I learned about the Xbone and all the things it entails, I was disappointed, but this news just out-right pissed me the fuck off along with tearing out my fucking heart.

Now I don't know if I should just jump off a cliff, or grab a rifle and make a list of every Microsoft employee in existence.

Okay, looking at the two consoles, their hardware is pretty damn similar. The fact that the price of the Xbox One is $100 more than the PS4 doesn't seem as bad when you realize that the Xbox pretty much comes with everything you're going to need for that console. The PS4 on the other hand, still has other add-ons like the Playstation Eye (a seemingly weaker kinect?) and Playstation Move that players may need to buy to play certain games. In short, getting everything available for the PS4 would actually cost more than the starting price of the Xbox. Of course, that point it totally moot if you aren't looking to buy the games that would require such hardware.

Sony's reluctance to give a straight yes or no answer on whether or not there will be a used game fee still leaves me wary, but I'm still pretty sure it can't be any worse than Microsoft's current used-game policy. Honestly, the only thing keeping me interested in the Xbox One is their lineup of exclusives. If is wasn't for that, I'd have already built myself a new gaming rig.
