Uncharted 2 announced, first trailer shows snow
Microsoft claims 3:1 Black Friday victory over PS3
PS3 Firmware 2.53 out now, brings full-screen Flash
July 14th, 2008 @ 09:00
According to this Bloomberg article, Signal Hill analyst Todd Greenwald reckons PS3 is now worth buying over a 360.
“For the first time since the console launched, I really think there’s more reason to buy a PS3 than the 360,” he said, unfortunately failing to quantify why.
“This race is far from over and we are confident that we have a winning strategy,” retorted Microsoft spokesman David Dennis said in an e-mailed statement.

The analysts keep saying this. And yet nobody does. I get this impression of the analysts all down the pub, sweating and muttering to each other.
“Surely it’ll be this month? Surely? We’ve been saying it all along! If we change our minds now we’ll look stupid! Quick, let’s go down the shops and buy a load.”

Can we just settle this now. First company to put a console on the moon wins. Until that happens I don’t care about it any more and don’t want to hear another peep out of the pair of them!

Analysts are just a little confused that their predictions of it selling like the PS2 are way off base. Everyone is wrong from time to time.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:58 am
You’re right. I definitely remember being wrong once. Round about 1989, I think it was.

I just had to put together a “ten most anticipated games of E3″ thing for the PS3. I really struggled to think of ten titles I’d want to play on the thing. RFOM2, LittleBigPlanet and Motorstorm 2 were the only three exclusives I could think of that were worth giving a shit about.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Killzone 2 looks alright.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Final Fantasy XIII and Versus, God of War 3, Siren, whatever Team Ico come up with, White Knight Story, Yakuza Kenzan?

Where the hell did you get “FF7 2″ from?
July 14th, 2008 at 10:12 am
If they show God of War 3 they’d better have a firm commitment to get it out before / around the next E3. Sick of seeing games shown years in advance.

Personally, I thought that the PS3 line up looked more interesting than anyone else. The Wii aint my thing and I think that Microsofts looks pretty weak at the mo (maybe it’ll change later on).
July 14th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Flower too. Like the look of that.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Newbie forgot, Lips, Viva Pinata 2 and Banjo 3 and most likely Forza 3.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:17 am
morriss: Yeah, flower is interesting as a concept… I just don’t think it’s for me. Very pretty, but I know I’d get bored of it easily.
/never relaxes

True, I’ll give you Banjo (not sure about it but the fanboy in me hopes its great) & Forza, not that keen on Viva Pinata TBH.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:19 am
We need more lists. I like lists.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I’m still holding out a remote hope that Alan Wake will be on show. And not be shit. And actually be nearly done.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Viva Pinata was amazing. Best game on the 360 by a mile
Microsoft have got to have some more games up their sleeves. I just ond’t think that list stacks up very well in comparison.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Blerklol.
no chance. I’m sure I read somewhere that it wasn’t going to be there.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Alan Wait FTW.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Blerk; FF7-2 - have faith.
Alan Wake? Oh yeah, its going to be shown next door to the new Duke Nuke Em!’
July 14th, 2008 at 10:28 am
I’d love to see the internet meltdown when they announce the FFVII remake… and it’s on the Wii!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Or the DS.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Well… they already announced a version for mobiles. That was fun.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I actually agree with the guy (although I appreciate I may be in a minority here!) - the PS3 has, for me, finally reached critical mass in the sense of there being enough games to warrant getting one - Metal Gear Solid 4, Ratchet, Uncharted (and if you don’t have a 360 already, there’s also GTAIV, CoD4, GRID: Race Driver) and enough stuff on the horizon to make it feel like a good time to invest.
In fact, unless something new and exciting comes out of E3 (and subject to me getting enough cash together), I may well be buying one later this week.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Newbie101 - Hey, we all saw the Duke in-game footage! It’s quite finished!
Btw, I hear you can play Alan Wake and Duke 4 in crossover-multiplayer together.
