I really think releasing Gear of War so soon on the PC is a mistake. I know it was the only game atm that made me even entertain the idea of getting a 360 but then the failure rate stuff came out and I held off. I'm glad I did now.

Haha, yes I follow MC #s weekly (GAF shoutout). I was saying that selling better than the 360 in Japan is no guaranteed litmus test for healthy product, just like comparing your conference to the abominations at Nintendo/MS. Sony really surprised me, however, with a few unannounced titles: infamous, and that escher shit. I'd buy a PS3 if both of those games were good.

Found the vid of G4 cutting to commercial during the halo 3 trailer followed by Adam wanting to kill their producer for doing so.

For those of us who don't care to sift through all of the E3 footage, could someone link pics to the redesigned PSP if they're available? Thanks.

And to add something to this thread:

Nintendo - Online Mario Kart = win
MS - Fuck you for no price drop announcement
Sony - Killzone 2 looked bitchin'

I am not sure if it was the sound mix of the shouts and gun shots or the bleak visuals, but Killzone 2 sounded like a trip in Hell. I mean its almost WWII nightmare meets FPS meets Silent Hill.

It's looks about exactly the same as the original, just slimmer.

Sony's thinner, lighter PSP hands-on - Engadget

Sithro · 07-11-2007, 11:23 PM

I like it, but unfortunately they bumped the price back up to $200 because of it.

So yeah, no go. : /

No they didn't. Those are the prices for the entertainment packs.

Ice Silver PSP + Daxter + Family Guy UMD Movie(?) + 1GB MemoryStick = $199
White w/Darth Vader Etching PSP + new Star Wars Battlefront game = $199

They didn't mention a price for just the core unit but I'm going to assume it's $169.00. They go on sale in September.

Am I the only one who hates the PSP due to the fact that it only has one analog stick but tries to emulate games that are best played with 2? Seriously, I would imagine the single analog stick is the biggest thing hindering many developers from properly designing their game for the PSP. Metal Gear could have definitely used the 2nd stick as well as many many others.

I see.

A core at $169 would be nice.

Wait... The new one doesn't have internal memory?

Nope. I was really hoping for some more internal memory.

I dunno, I thought the Sony presentation was the worst. First the videos on the PSP screen on the Giant moniter...while having 2 dedicated screens to just the title of the game? what the fuck.

Then the PSP announcement..I was shocked it didn't have a touch screen. It would mirror their sixaxis shit~

And all the Home stuff..wow..it was pretty painful.

I'M NERVOUS.

I'd rather have a boring microsoft guy with slides than that shit.

The games are all really known already so it's not exactly anything groundbreaking out of any of them.
