Official Sony E3 2006 Press Conference Thread

Tekken 6 looked like crap.

Truth.

I hope it gets better looking later in development, but I have no doubt that it'll play well.

Truth.

Will Tekken 6 have online play?

[Korly]

Beats me. I hope so.

But Hwoarang crashing through the window makes me think that this game will either have a multiplayer (3 or 4 players) or tag-style mechanic.

[RoleTroll]

The Wii has all the controller advantage. The big thing will be the gun, not the rotation.

I think Sony may have sold me a 360.

I think Sony may have sold me a 360.

This is how I feel. I was waiting on the 360 because I wanted to see what Sony had up their sleeves.

Also, here's an amusing comment from someone on SomethingAwful:

1x DVD = 1.321 MB/s
1x BD = 4.5 MB/s

xbox360 has a 12x DVD-rom, equaling 15-ish MB/s
ps3 has a 2x BD-rom, equaling 9 MB/s

oh dear (but at least it won't sound like a damn jet engine, hopefully)

I also agree the PS3 sold me a 360. I wanted one before hand, but now with that PS3 price point. My next gen system is 360.

[Cheebs]

In all of this "$600 is too much for a game system" hoopla, lets not forget another very important fact: $400 is too much for a game system. I ain't lettin' MS off the hook just because Sony is fucking insane.

[Bacon McShig]

IAWTP.

But the 360 will probably come down into reasonable pricing in the next year, year and a half. It'll take much longer for PS3 to descend from its lofty perch.

[Dolemite]

Okay, the PS3 is $600. That's way fucking expensive. Sony needs to realize that they're making a game console. All that extra stuff is neat but not when it comes at that expense. If it's going to inflate that price that much, don't fucking put it in. Sony won't stop until they create a console that will take the place of EVERYTHING in a person's home- TV, DVD player, TiVo, PC, refrigerator, dishwasher, ironing board, furniture, etc.

Anyway, the games are underwhelming, but they always are on any launch console.

The $500 retard pack having no memory stick, HDMI, or WiFi support = SUPER GAY.

Tekken 6 looks like watery poo.

No chance I'll buy a PS3 at launch (or anywhere near). I'll need at least one good price drop on the $600 version before I even give it a tought. However, this isn't driving me into the arms of a 360, either. Maybe I'll just use the spare time to work on my pile o' shame and more meaningful hobbies.

I alot more with my PC than play games in fact I very rarely play games on my PC

Same here. A PC's worth the extra expense to me. The PS3 isn't.

I'm glad because from now on, no one can be a whiny twat about PC gaming being too expensive.

Good point. Consoles are really catching up to PCs in that regard. If anything, PC prices have been drastically falling lately. You can get a good PC now for not too much more than a PS3.

*watches new MGS4 trailer*
MGS4 alone will be worth the $600 that sony is ass raping us with.

IDBTN

Metal Gear sucks.

Not only are they now creating confusion ... they are really pissing people off with the rediculous price of their confusing bundles.

Haha, nice find.

Why is everyone hating on the PS3 controller BTW? It looks like the PS2 controller, and I thought everyone liked that.

I liked it. It's confortable and works well. I'm just glad that dropped the banana.

Sad about no more rumble, though.

[Diff-chan]

I was watching CNBC while getting my blood taken, they said the PS3 unveiling was very underwhelming because of the price (specifically mentioned it) and Sony Corp's stock is down. I would think stock would skyrocket after an unveiling normally - PlayStation is what is keeping Sony alive.

So it's not like we're the only ones complaining.
