Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Here's that section with Tretton:

P.S. Fuck Microsoft for their trailblazing charging for online multiplayer. Even as a happy PS+ subscriber, that is totally unnecessary.

Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Yeah it's a nitpick at best honestly, especially that's money I was previously dumping on Xbox Live. And it's not entirely unreasonable either, I mean all that network crap doesn't come cheap, and like you said, at least Sony actually rewards customer loyalty.


I still can't figure out how MS managed to go Full Retard.

Re: E3 2013 Schedule



Looks like free online multiplayer might be a thing of the past with PS4. This was a point they glossed over at the conference.

Not too big of a deal in my mind considering PS Plus is a pretty decent value now, but still worth pointing out.

Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Sounds like Sony played their cards right. Any further word on whether or not they're implementing any DRM schemes?

No DRM. Stated by Jack Tretton on stage to thunderous applause.

Also there's this thing of beauty:

Shots. Fired.

The more apt (and less base) metaphor is MS brought a knife to a gunfight.

Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Not literally, but Jack Tretton basically just listed off 1 after the other all the bullshit MS is doing with XB1 and said "Yeah, we're not doing that crap."

I present to you all, the most apt parody of the Xbox One:

They had an entire segment where they basically just pulled down their pants and cock-slapped MS hard.

I'm going to need a link for this later.

None at all. They had an entire segment where they basically just pulled down their pants and cock-slapped MS hard.

Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Sony definitely had a stronger presentation than MS, mostly the right focus, better software and a better price point.

My only quibbles were the very weak coverage of Vita (again) and they still really didn't make a compelling case for Gaikai. They did thankfully keep the "social" and "sharing" rubbish to a minimum, though.

I still don't really see the need to own a PS4 at launch, though. Seems all the real action is from Spring 2014 onward.

$399/399 EUR/349 pounds for PS4.

Game over, Microsoft. Sony just won this generation.

WOW Sony is rubbing it in HARD

Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Sony's conference is good so far, but the media app lipservice bit laughably bad. Doesn't matter how many times you say its "for gamers," its lip service.

Re: E3 2013 Schedule

Exclusive

Sunset Overdrive (Insomniac) <- Some Sony fanboys are probably flipping out over this, but honestly considering how weak Fuse is as a game, skepticism should be applied here.
Lococycle (Twisted Pixel)
Ryse (Crytek)
Quantum Break (Remedy)
Below (Capybara)
Titanfall (Respawn) <- ending your presser on this, Microsoft? Really?
Killer Instinct (Double Helix)
Black Tusk Project / unnamed (Black Tusk Studios)
Project Spark (unknown studio)
Crimson Dragon (Grounding) <- Hah! I knew it!
Halo 5 (343 Industries) <- of course

And not a single fuck was given.


(At least on my part.)
