Tetsuya Nomura is a whore and a madman. I believe Square-Enix realizes this, but don't want to let him go, for some reason- so they've delegated unto him the task of milking FFXIII for all it is worth and more.

I just saw those FFXIII images and it's surprising to see how limited Nomura is as a character designer.

Everybody looks the fucking same.

EDIT: That Reiko chick from Ridge Racer scares the crap out of me.

It could be argued that MS would've failed miserably if it weren't for Live.

Not that they did very well in the first place.

I, for one, am absolutely stunned that Sony dropped the ball with online gaming. I can't believe it.

I mean, Sony's Station outlet is just such a stellar, wonderful portal.

In a surprise announcement during the speech, Sony basically ripped off Nintendo's controller and it looks awesome.

Feel bad for the big N though.

PS3 = $500 w/ 20GB hardrive
$600 w/ 60GB hardrive

Well, now we get to see some level of competition on this interactivity battle field. Sony will only have a tilt sensor though, while Nintendo will have true 3D positional detection going on.

But I feel kinda bad for Ninty too, seeing how no matter how you look at this it steals some thunder from one of their main attractions. Who knows though, maybe tomorrow will reveal even more secrets on Nintendo's part (other than a recently revealed speaker on the controller itself)

Oh, and there is no way I will be able to fork over 500-600$ for a game system. Looks like I will have to wait like 5 or 6 years until the price drops to like 200 or below

that is before the obligitory bundles, which should get them up, at least, another $100

Were you being sarcastic when you said that the PS3 controller looks awesome?

It's almost the same exact design as the PS2 controller. I guess it's an improvement from the 'boomerang controller' but i wouldnt say it looks awesome.

Be that as it may, but that still doesnt answer my question since you just said one meaningless sentence. So, what am I missing? I'm aware of the added functionality but it still doesnt seem awesome to me.

Ya know what forget it man, im just not gonna even try to have a simple discussion with you anymore since you are entirely incapable of getting over past events.

Was my man-loving too rough for you?

Man, every lead female has looked the same since FFVII...

Any pics of the PS3 system?

The great MGS4 trailern.

Man Snake really lookes sick in this one,might be his final mission.

Post by **DarkenRahlX** » Tue May 09, 2006 5:38 am

http://www.gametrailers.com is where it's at.

Post by **LordMune** » Tue May 09, 2006 5:40 am

GameTrailers.com wins.

Anyway, yeah, with all the returning characters from MGS1, I find it hard to believe Kojima is going to make this anything but the climax of the series.

Snake even mentions it's his final mission in the trailer.

Thats what you call showing the PS3 power, no fricking video but a real demo.

Damn cool action, the girl of my fantasy

About the control its good they keep dual shock control,the best damn ever.

Post by **Femto** » Tue May 09, 2006 8:45 am

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

3 Final Fantasy XIII games?

That's retarded.

Fuck Square Enix.

Post by **DarkenRahlX** » Tue May 09, 2006 9:01 am

Trying to make the money.

I won't lie though...that video of FF XIII looks damn good...at least FF Versus XIII won't play like the regular game since it's labeled as an action game and developed by the Kingdom Hearts team.

Heavenly Sword looks awesome

Tekken 6 does not look awesome

It´s been confirmed that the new alliance race for the Burning Crusade will be announced tomorrow, let´s see if they don´t fuck up the lore again for aestethic reasons.

Bungie just made me their bitch (again), by recalling the Cortana letters they sent out eight years ago.

Your poet Eliot had it all wrong
This is the way the world ends

An AI spiralling into rampant insanity with possible aspirations to godhood is familiar ground for Bungie.

Maybe Halo 3 will be able to set aright what Halo 2 fucked up.

Post by **Femto** » Tue May 09, 2006 9:54 pm

I'm downloading the Nintendo press conference on Gamespot.

I swear, Nintendo is still the only one that talks about the games.

I probably said the same thing last year.

It might be the last game with Snake but not the last MGS game, Kojima has said that like 100000 times already. The event confirmed a new MGS with Big Boss and the original Foxhound.

MGS will live on for a long time just like Bond movies thats what Kojima wants and thats what we the fans wants.

Why end the best damn series there is.

Kojima has been wanting to end it since MGS2.

Femto: It didn't feel like Nintendo had a strong hand this year- Twilight Princess was the only thing that got me excited, but just the presence of the Reggienator makes it worth a watch.
