The Video Game Thread
here's what i learned by following the sony E3 presentation…
the ps3 is a product with a ten year life cycle
only now are the games going to show up
2008 is apparently the year of the ps3, but by my count very few actual products were announced for this year. resistance 2 and DC Universe Online
lots of developers are still really excited about the ps3
forth coming stuff presented via the way of trailers God of War III (spring 2009) and some sort of massive online battle based on SOCOM with up to 256 playing at once.
new 80GB ps3 in september for the same price as the current 40GB version with no ps2 compatibility.
oh and sony wants to be apple with the online content rental and purchase. and some sort of exclusive automobile video content. you know the whole we are so ready to be the next dominate set top box…
a couple of products still not here LittleBigPlanet and Home. and they have taken a page from Nintendo's book and added weather and news info presented on a globe as a service on the PS3.

i am so tired of games that offer build your own levels. if i wanted to be a game programmer, i would have gone to school for it. i went to school to be a consumer of products that mindlessly entertain me.
What about the original Excite Bike? It was boss as shit that you could build your own courses!

Originally posted by vansmack:ok i admit in not being familiar with what the E3 conference is all about… but given that it's widely known that lots of wii buyers are sticking to only playing wii sports a whole of bunch of retailers went CHA-CHING with the announcement.
In defense fo those non-casual gamers, E3 is not the place to make announcements for the non-hardcore types.
You can do those announcements anytime (like, right before Xmas?), but E3 has evolved into a hardcore gamers conference.
It must have been painful for those folks to sit through MS exclusive announcements yesterday and then be told today that you're not in our plans.
plus given nintendo's record with delayed game releases, i'll bet they rather not announce something until it's ready to be unleashed on the masses and not create disappointment. but hopefully someone is busying themselves with zelda..

Venerable has been unabashadly lobbying for "Eminence Front" all week, which I happen to think is one of the more retarded Who songs out there (cleary a Townsend solo song - might as well have been the B-side to Let My Love Open the Door).
TRACKS: The Best of The Who Rock Band Editionâ?
â??Amazing Journeyâ?
â??Baba O'Rileyâ?
â??Behind Blue Eyesâ?
â??Eminence Frontâ?
â??Going Mobileâ?
â??Leaving Hereâ?
â??My Generationâ? (LIVE)
â??Real Good Looking Boyâ?
â??Sea & Sandâ?
â??Summertime Bluesâ? (LIVE)
â??Who Are Youâ?
â??Young Man Bluesâ? (LIVE)
I don't think we can open with Baba O'Reilly, so I'm thinking the live version of My Generation, slow it down with Behind Blue Eyes, then Who are You before we tear into Baba O'Reilly.
And just maybe if we still have time we play Eminence Front for anybody who's not already in the parking lot - you know those 70's holdovers…
Thoughts?

part of what i find ironic is that the "hardcore" Nintendo gamers who were once seen as casual gamers are now miffed an even more casual set of gamers is getting the attention. we've all grown up and acting like ps2 and xbox fanboys…
and the sony bs detector really goes off when they declare 2008 as the year of the ps3 and then announce the release of 130 new titles for the ps2…

One feature that I missed from Monday's Xbox 360 announcement:
</font>
</font>
- <font size="2" face="Arial, Veranda">The ability to copy games to your hard drive so that the loading times will be faster and the disc will not make any noise when spinning, however the disc must remain in the drive to verify that you own the game</font></li>
not gonna lie, i was happy to hear that bungie announced that they are going to make a new halo!
Sony really must be run by a bunch of idiots… It's being conjectured that come September the new 80GB PS3 will be the only one on the market and it will not have any backwards compatibility to the PS2.
So they went from having a PS3 model with PS2 HW built in for compatibility, to a PS3 model with PS2 compatibility provided via software emulation which doesn't support all the titles on the market. And after this they expect PS2 owners to still upgrade… I'm willing to bet the value of a used first generation PS3 just went up.
They really ought to just call it a DVDstation and be done with it…

Wii Fit tells 10 year old she's fat
…The stepfather of the girl, who didn't want to be named for her sake, said, "She is a perfectly healthy, 4-feet-9-inch-tall 10-year-old who swims, dances, and weighs only six stone. She is solidly built but not fat. She was devastated to be called fat and we had to work hard to convince her she isn't."
——
The proper answer is she's not fat, BMI just doesn't take into acount that awkward 6X size in little girls, which I thought was just an American thing.
