I posted the sonic pic here before I remembered there was a sonic 360 thread. And we can't delete our own posts.

This is worse than the E3 conference. It's good to know that the internet is faster than it was and that the first Playstation was a huge success.

Edit: OH GOD! LOL! Kutaragi is basically saying "Everything is going to suck, our online plan, our games won't be amazing, but they'll get better in a couple years! The hardware is overkill, but we need to sell it to you now to keep up with Microsoft and Nintendo and to rip you off while this stuff is still expensive. Don't worry it'll get better eventually. By the way all this crap...not our fault!

They're ripping off the Wii's VC, and getting Genesis and Turbografx games to compete. Too bad they'll never have the "good" stuff.

FTL...big time! The complete and utter anger that has begun to spew forth from the Sony faithful, even the ones who kept their fanboy caps on up to this point, has finally reached it's limit. This was the last big mistake for Sony.

Want to see the bottom of the barrel for hardcore Sony fanboys look here
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...p?board=927750

And as you can see already from the title -_- The stuff they talk about on there is so stupid. Most of it is how the graphics are supposed to be better then 360 or they list games that will be on PS3 and not 360.

One guy did a topic listing 20 something games that the PS3 will have exclusively. Except in the end his list really only had 2 games so his defense to that was "They will be better on PS3" Pure idiots.

Anyways it's nice to see Microsoft trying to appeal to the Japanese auidence of gamers more with these RPGs. Let's hope they don't turn out like N3.

Even the new MGS trailer was underwhelming. That's saying a lot coming from me, I guess. It's just like they weren't even trying anymore.

Yeah the flow of new DMC info is dissappointing as well. Looks like another DMC 2.

You only fight with your left arm, don't play as Dante, have a move that stuns every enemy allowing you to do combos on them while their stunned, their making it easier to casual gamers can pick it up*Meaning everyone will think it's the best game ever like RE 4 <_<*, and it's rumored that the main character's*So awesomely named Nero(sarcasm)* right arm is Vergil's.

Woo go Capcom you can rip off Metal Gear Solid. Game fails to impress me and with that news I'm fully willing to accept not buying a PS3. To be honest I have been since I found out DMC 3 was on PC. I liked MGS 3 alot but 4 looks a little to Sci-fi for my taste. Even if I'm sure it will most likely be a good game. But I don't care to find out if I have to buy a PS3 to play it.

Sony dropped the price of the lower-end PS3, also known as the GimpStation 3, in Japan only. Apparently the Japanese are super pissed at what's been going on with Sony, and their horrid keynote last night was the last straw. Because of all this pressure Sony decided to drop the price from 60,000 yen to 49,980. Even the Japanese are finally tired of all Sony's crap. This news hasn't help out their status over there either, as many still think it's too much for what you're getting and Sony has done nothing to prove that they aren't just blowing smoke out their ass, as many have speculated since two E3's ago.

I found this news to be quite funny. Sony, for all their talk of, "The next gen starts when we say it starts" and all of the boasting and bullsh*tting they've done, and now they have to drop the price in their home territoty BEFORE RELEASE! I think it's obvious that somewhere there's a board room full of sweaty Japanese men that are nervous as hell.

Sony isn't looking like such a confident bunch of loud mouthed show offs anymore. I'm so glad those arrogant asses got what was coming to them. If they were so damn sure that their product was the best on the market, this price drop wouldn't have happened. They're scared and I love it.

Haven't been following TGS much, what with the lack of anything Nintendo related...

But a friend at work today told me about the PS3 drop in Japan. Didn't say what too though... That drop's not enough.

And it's now set... a console maker can only stay at the top of the industry for two generations. Atari, Nintendo, and from what it looks like... Sony, have all crumpled after two leading generations.

Apparently they're making a KHII SE, like with the first one, and it's going to have a second disk with a full remake of the GBA KH game. Full 3D graphics and all that included. I really hope we get a NA release, I need that sh*t! Not playing the GBA game made the second one so hard to grasp at first.

See, I never played any of them. Typical I just bought them both

Screw the GBA game. I'll wait for this sucker. Also...time for a good laugh.

I understood all the PS3's dying at E3. Hell, I saw a Wii/Overclocked GameCube melt down too. I know, because I crashed it. Running SMGalaxy's physics engine on a SuperCube. Bad idea.

But for the PS3's to be dying at TGS, LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE LAUNCH!!!! I can smell the class action lawsuit in the air for a faulty product. If Japan is even mad as hell at them, blood is in the air.

Congradulations Sony, you loose.

BAHAHAHAhA!!!!!!

Doesn't seem like that big of a deal. It even said they're probably breaking down because of software in that post, not the actual hardware. And for all intents and purposes, isn't the Wii just a SuperCube with a new control scheme? And exactly what kind of "physics" system was SMGalaxy running? There didn't seem to be a whole lot going on from the videos I'd seen.

Yeah, that game looks totally cool. It won't live up to that demo though. No way in hell. Like most PS3 games thus far, the videos have looked better than the actual game.

Yeah, that video had some sick animation. One of the few games I've seen so far that deserves to be called 'Next-Gen' IMO.

The thing that makes me sceptical about the game is that it's only 10% complete in development. For the video to look that polished at only 10%...well...it kind of seems like they made this video to show what their vision for the game is. "Well...uh...this is what we hope it looks and plays like...we'll get there...I hope."

The Wii has an individual physics processor to take the load off of the main CPU and let it handle stuff like complex AI. For example, one of the things the co-processor was doing was running all the gravitational pulls from all those planets in space.
