E3 2010: Motion Controlled Edition

[KomeijiKoishi]

They printed more copies of DDS2 than they did of DDS1.  Seriously.

...this is so strange, I have only one thing to say: Why?

On-topic: Suikama, don't tell me you didn't know of Okamiden until now?

...or is the original coming to the 3DS now as well?

[Edible]

Wait, wtf.

Portal 2 on PS3, with steam cloud + automated updates?

ffffffff

[helvetica]

Sony just won this gen hands down.  Steam on PS3.  Jesus Christ that is a KILLER APP if there is a definition of one.

[Bananamatic]

wait so PS3 gets full TF2 while 360 gets nothing

lol ecksbawks

[lumber_of_the_beast]

Because Valve has such a great history of PS3 support :V

Also, is Ninty planning to implement a DLC transfer scheme beyond "buy everything again lol" this time?

Probably not :derp:

GT5 finally got a release date - November 5.  About fucking time.

I think that's why they dragged Gabe out on stage and made jokes about how he used to hate the PS3 until SONY GAVE HIM DOLLARS and now Steam is on PS3.

[Edible]

Bwahahaha yes Twisted Metal PS3.  About freakin' time.

That's the best part.  Valve and MS were basically butt buddies.  But MS went stupid about the DLC thing and wanted to charge 360 owners for what Valve was giving on the PC for free.  Bandwidth wasn't even an issue, Valve has the system to handle it and all MS needed to do was let them hook in.  MS wanted to control the whole kit and demand payment and get a cut out of what Valve wants to give for free.

If MS hadn't done that, we'd be talking about Steam on 360, not Steam on PS3.  Valve wanted nothing to do with the PS3, the arch was too different and they treated it as a second-class citizen.  They didn't even do any of the ports inhouse like they did for the 360, they let EA fumble with it.  And now there's been a complete 180 and Valve is doing everything by hand for the PS3.

No, no it isn't.  Especially considering it doesn't offer anything the PSN doesn't already have.

Also I think something's been misinterpreted, because the people I was watching it with sure don't remember Steam being brought over and all I remember is "steam functionality".

[lumber_of_the_beast]

Also, since I'm not actually watching E3 due to poor internet and other people taking the TV, just what does Steam on PS3 offer over Steam on PC?

[helvetica]

No, no it isn't.  Especially considering it doesn't offer anything the PSN doesn't already have.

I... don't think you understand the kind of impact Steamworks has.  It is singlehandedly saving the PC gaming platform.  It is bringing a whole new distribution platform for indy devs.

The Steam name alone brings a lot of  weight and advertisement.  The fact that PS3 is now a first-class citizen of one of the biggest independent dev houses is ridiculous.  The rest is just gravy.

[WHMZakeri]

...Which means we can expect Sony to show off a crapload of games but only have one actual announcement that will make any impact, and Nintendo to bring its fans to its knees with tears of shame - and then tears of pure joy.

Also Kojima trolling someone again.

True, we still have one prediction left, but since when HASN'T Kojima trolled people?

[Helion]

/v/ is in an uproar about Valve's surprise. I still think it might be a good thing they make Portal 2 for PS3, it has no games after all  :V

[Silent Harmony]

When Valve said that they had a surprise for E3....wow I wasn't expecting that! Sony really closed that out well. GT5, Steam (and Portal 2), Twisted Metal 3 (though I've never played the first two, the audience sure seemed pumped up).

They really emphasized Move, to the surprise of nobody. It looks like it has potential, if the 1:1 isn't a joke, but nothing truly wowed me. Until then it's just another Wii rip-off competitor, no matter what they force Butler to say.

Also I was surprised by how little MGS was mentioned, unless I missed something. Even Nintendo seemed to give Kojima more screen time. :/

Unfortunately, Steam coming to PS3 isn't what's going on.  The only thing that's known for sure is that you'll have chat and connectivity features with Steam like as if you're playing on your PC, while playing Portal 2 on the PS3.

No sign of anything actual meaningful content-wise or even beyond the scope of Portal 2.

And before you say "Hey, I don't believe you, where's your source", keep in mind that you're making the far bigger claim, especially considering as how the Steam functionality was barely even mentioned - an announcement of "We're bringing Steam to PS3!" magnitude would not have been passed over so lightly.

Er, that IS, effectively, Steam.

TSO wasn't implying that PS3 would be getting the full deployment of Steam games, obviously.  But Steam will be supported on PS3 in terms of in-game chat, content distribution (patches), etc.  This is very very big.

For one game.

And unless I missed something, these are things already handled by the PSN; the only difference is that it's cross-connected with PC.

I missed the part where they announced they were going to update PS3's TF2, then.

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

On GS: Dark Dawn -

FFFFUCK YEEEEAAAHHHH~!!!

[Barrakketh]

I missed the part where they announced they were going to update PS3's TF2, then.

They didn't.  They said Steamworks for Portal 2, and nothing more.

[Cadmas]

Bwahahaha yes Twisted Metal PS3.  About freakin' time.

Bah if I had a PS3 and just this game I would be happy for a long while.

[Ghaleon]

You think MS would know better considering that's why Sony pretty much "beat" nintendo to begin with during their first generation. Nintendo being greedy nazis and Sony being less nazi-ish I mean

[Suikama]

Bwahahaha yes Twisted Metal PS3.  About freakin' time.

Oh wow how long as it been

[Cadmas]

Oh wow how long as it been

Been 9 years since twisted metal black.

[WHMZakeri]

This Is the cutest thing in the history of ever.

[orinrin]

KIIIIIIIIIIRBY!!!   :* :* :*


I wish I remembered to register for E3.   

[JT]

This Is the cutest thing in the history of ever.

Is it weird that this game reminds me more of Yoshi's Island than of any actual Kirby game? Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing.

[Nobu]

Nah, kinda reminds me of YI too. I don't know how much I like the looks of see-through outline Kirby, but the gameplay looks pretty great.


Also really late to the party, but zomg Persona.
