Sony Conference
PSP and PSP GO
First I don't like the look of the PSP GO, its weird ![]()
I wasn't very much impressed, not much going on with the games apart from Hannah Montana xD. Seriously though Peacewalker and Resident Evil Portable did look quite good. The video for Peacewalker was pretty funny with the 2 snakes hiding in the box together. The rest just seemed like new releases of your average PSP games.
On PS3 though, wow. That really surprised me, I wasn't expecting this line-up at all.
Multi-plat: Assassin's Creed 2 and Final Fantasy XIII both looked very good.
Exclusives:
Uncharted 2, looks just like Uncharted Drake's fortune but in a city instead of the jungle, trailer was full of action and I liked the look of it a lot.
MAG, I'd never heard of this before but 128 vs 128 online battles, Holy Crap!
Gran Tourismo 5, very nice graphics, not sure if it was in game they looked so good.
Agent, they didn't reveal anything about this, but its Rockstar!
ModNation Racers, I love little big planet and how you can create your own levels and customize just about everything and this looks like it will be such a fun game. The level creator looked very user friendly but still produced a very nice track. I want this so much right now.
Final Fantasy XIV, as soon as it was announced there were some comments doubting its exclusiveness, in regards to FFXIII going Multi, but the trailer looked amazing, and I'll buy it on PS3 regardless.
The Last Guardian, its essentially Ico 3, and I love Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, the trailer looked amazing and I can't wait for this.
God of War 3, finally got to see some gameplay and it looked amazing, it made me want to dust off my God of War and play through again! I didn't want the video to stop!
Motion Controller, not more competition for the Wii! this actually looked very cool, I wonder how much it will cost though, hmmm...
Nintendo Conference
They kicked it off by saying Mario has done it all, Mario in 3d is great but a 4th dimension is the future...Then with the announcement of a New Super Mario Bros. on wii I was expecting something special, but 4 player co-op is not what I'd call 4th dimension :/. new features pick up and carry/throw other players, propeller suit looks like a pikmin costume and lets players jump higher and float down slower, oh and she said something about bonus points on the flagpole...
wii fit plus, 15 new balance games, not my thing but the Mario style game that lets you "run a mile in mario's shoes" looked the best of the bunch in the mini games.
Wii motion plus, a new sense of realism in gameplay! Well it didn't look all that good to me, so NATAL>Wii motion plus. End of.
I was a little dissapointed with the games on show in the first three quarters, I know that Nindendo played the "Something for everyone" card but seriously, It's not worth going to a buffet if all the food tastes like crap.
sifting through the rubbish, there were a few good/potentially games in there, new wii sports, final fantasy crystal bearers wii, kingdom hearts 358/2 days ds, mario & luigi bowsers inside story ds, Mario vs Donkey kong minis march again ds, wario ware diy ds.
Also why they brought in a guy who can hardly speak English to talk statistics that no one cares about its just silly, that part really dragged.
OMG!! GOLDEN SUN!! HOLY CRAP!! I love Golden Sun so this was great news for me.
I now believe facebook WILL conquer videogame world...
I think they really saved the show from being total FAIL at the end with Super Mario Galaxy 2, Conduit, Resident Evil, The Darkside Chronicles, Dead Space Extraction and Metroid Other M
EA Conference
I just saw EA's conference, I thought it was quite disappointing. Firstly because of the way it was set out, all the annoying games were the first to be shown and they really dragged too. Second they didn't show anywhere near enough footage that I would have liked of Mass Effect 2, Crysis 2 or Dante's Inferno.
Two new MMO's APB and Old Republic both looked good, but not really my thing.
The Madden NFL 10 and the online franchising seems interesting.
I was impressed by Sabotage and Dragon Age Origin. Fight Night Round 4 looked good but I'd seen that before...I kind of want to get Brutal Legend after the conference too.
MS Conference
I was pretty impressed with it. Forza 3, Call of Duty AW2, Final Fantasy 13, Alan Wake, Left For Dead 2 & Splinter Cell Conviction all looked really good.
Also Metal Gear Rising and Halo Reach are two games that they didn't say much about, but Raiden is back!!
Not sure what I thik of NATAL yet, I don't really like any of the motion games that I've played on wii, but if its done right then it has the potential to be better than the wii, just look at that milo video.
Castle Crashers
CASTLE CRASHERS!!!
This game is off the chain! I love it ;D Co-op beat 'em up/rpg at its finest, well worth the 1200 price tag imo! Love the art style of it all, and am just generally pumped up with how good its turned out to be. The only bad thing I have to say about this is its online, it is very glitchy and doesn't work properly, so far I've only actually got into 1 ranked arena match the rest I keep disconnecting from. Setting up co-op story matches has worked like a dream though..hope they sort out the arena/all you can quaff matches soon.
GREEN KNIGHT!
