As a certified MS fanboy, I'd have to go for MS. Their biggest fuckup was not having a single game for Kinect that was aimed toward real gamers. If they had one or two that actually had some blood or action or fucking GAMEPLAY in them, I'd be a lot less pissed off. At least (from what I understand) Move is incorporating motion controls into regular games that I like to play.

With Move and GT5 coming out in November (hopefully) I'll finally be able to justify getting a PS3.

I saw three minutes of the MS conference replay on Fox8. It had a little girl pretending to interact with a Nintendog. I'd say it was about the worst thing I've ever seen in relation to video games, ever. I couldn't watch after that.

Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves.

You got to keep some secrets though.

Maybe they have like a very deep action title where you use your own body to kill people (sorta like infamous but with a matrix-like fake world) and you execute super human attacks with punches and kicks or something. And it's the killer app that forces you to buy it?

This thing is for the star wars kid generation. It's got lots of potential.

Nothing really, just like every other year at E3. One thing you can count on from Sony is a consistently dull E3 conference.

It's a culture thing at Sony i'm sure. I work in the retail side of the industry and have been to a few local Sony conferences in my day, and it's the same here. Michael Ephrams' (ex-PlayStation head honcho for Aus) presos are legendary for sending people to sleep. I swear it's a job requirement for Sony execs to bore crowds into submission.

MS started off pretty awesome, but then it when down hill very quickly and resembled Nintendos conferences of the last 2 years.....boring shit.

Have only just started watching Nintendo's and will eventually get to Sony's. One thing that MS have without a doubt done well in their Keynotes in the last few years is no board room bullshit...thats pie charts, graphs, bullshit sales and predictions along with pathetic studies by some made up researchers...

I thought they were all pretty lackluster. Microsoft show an overpriced camera, Sony show a reasonably priced camera, Nintendo show multiple low spec'd cameras.

The 3DS didn't grab me. Its not a big enough departure from the DS. Showing it in the same form factor as the DS didn't help.

I don't want new hardware I just want new games. Good ones that are going to keep my interest over the next year.

Some of the new games that Nintendo showed for the Wii didn't seem too bad like DKC but its the sort of thing I would now expect to buy on PSN rather than as a full priced game.

twisted metal is an underapreciated franchise here.

Car combat games need to make a comeback.

I was saddened when that Retro car combat game was scrapped and we never heard anything about it again. Nintendo needs to clone the Twisted Metal franchise and give that idea a chance. But whatever you do, don't put mario characters in it. Realistic looking vehicles thanks.

You'll see how nintendo had problems with the motion controls in the zelda demo here:
makes it look like waggle is broken.

but true gamers out there who actually know their shit explain why nintendo still ended up dominating the show:
Give them the controls to see firshand how effective waggle is so they don't have to listen to all the FUD from the rival fanboys. This is how you convert the unbeliever.

From reading the eurogamer hands on impression for 3ds I'm happy to hear the analogue thing isn't stiff but is looser.

Sony: your next psp needs to look closely at how stiff the nub is. Make sure to pay attention to how comfrotable it is to use and easy it is to aim with it. It's big deal because people will avoid games based on how the controls feel. How many shooters will suffer just because the stick/nub has too much pressure to recentre itself? Fix these basic things first.

Technically you are actually racing while in combat though. Which is closer to wipeout.

TW is more like a street fighter type thing. You can hide inside a building lure somebody into a confined space while you plant mines to force them to eat damage, and stun them while they are hit with a freeze move, then while immoblise, ram into them and use a flamethrow to finish them off, or blow up the entire building so it crash down on them with the trigger bombs while simultaneously opening up a shield to protect yourself from the blast(SDF1 style) as you turbo boost out of the area before others interfere.

You don't have to constantly move around if you don't want to. In that sense it's more like you are fighting in a ship with special weapons that are unique but it's cars and on the ground in a big level. (where you can use the map/environment to your advantage in some way like powerstone)

vigilante 8 was the only other clone I'm aware of that had something similar to this. Nintendo should have let Retro make that TM clone.

I liked TM2 and Black was okay... the US version. But that's really just from a story point of view. On the whole the game is pretty ordinary.

Looking at the new video... does Calypso have anything to do with this game? Or is it just Twisted Metal gang warfare?
