LOL DISEMBOWELING A CENTAUR

 

[DNA]

So we all can agree - Sony > Microsoft > Nintendo.

Also XVI?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Sheva Alomar]

That was fucking epic. The chimera, too.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

And yes, Sony's second reign has come.

 

[Max Payne]

Seriously Sony rocked this year.

But MGS peace walker looks lame. Meh.

 

[Tetsujin]

Sony's presentation was pretty good. Nintendo's was boring. Only good thing was Metroid. =/

 

[Max Payne]

Microsoft's was ok, but there's nothing that was there that got me all excited like Sony's.

Damn. 2010 is gonna be a good year. It's been a while since Sony roped me in.

 

[Tetsujin]

Didn't watch Microsoft's since I don't have an Xbox anyway.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Yeah, the one really pathetic thing about Microsoft's presentation was that they are REALLY riding heavily on The Beatles Rockband, for some strange reason. It took up, what, the first 10-20 minutes of the press conference.

 

[Sheepy]

I thought Microsoft's was more exciting for some reason. I mean, I was kinda bored watching Sony's until that last bit of pure awesomeness and epic win. But I think that overall Sony was better.

I was disappointed with Kojima-san though. He speaks in Engrish for Microsoft and not for Sony? Betrayal, I say!!! D':

Oh, and I didn't watch Nintendo's. Last year's conference traumatized me. )':

 

[Max Payne]

Meh. Peace walker looks lame and I could care less about some stupid Raiden side story game.

 

[Tetsujin]

New Kojima Productions Podcast was just released, to tell us in 7-8 minutes what would only take 20 seconds and for people who don't know how to read forums and gaming sites for news but know how to download podcasts regardless.

Lolwut.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Kojima spoke the same amount of English for both companies. The only difference was that Kojima had a lot to say for Sony's PC. You can tell that it's hard for him to speak English for long amounts of time. So rly, no betrayal. Sony's PC was way better than MS', I say.

 

[Hawkeye.]

Peace Walker's gameplay looks like a complete repeat of Portable Ops. Show me something new damn it! Although I am curious as what the story will be like. I'm looking forward more to the Raiden game. Cyborg ninja's ftw.

 

[Max Payne]

Fuck raiden, and fuck stupid spin off games. MAKE MGS5 if you're gonna continue the damn story fags. Whatever, meh to it all.

As much as I like that new motion control system, I'll be very surprised if anyone makes use of it. I hope it gets the support it deserves, but I don't think it will.

And I'm buying ODST just to get into the Halo Reach Beta

Assassin's Creed 2 looks pretty good, even though Da Vinci designing weapons for an assassin is nuts.

 

[Makoeyes987]

I'm curious, were any trailers and shit shown for the new Metroid game or Mario? Or is it just words as usual for Nintendo?

Trailers.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

G4 is all you need, rly.

Are you serious? Is Dan Brown in on this or something?

 

[Max Payne]

I be serious

 

[Hawkeye.]

I guess Da Vinci felt under appreciated at the time.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

I thought it was highly plausible for Da Vinci to design the assassin's weapons. The flying device he uses in Sony's demo and the hidden daggers are things that Da Vinci has probably thought up or had designs very similar. I know he at least drew up plans for an archaic type of helicopter. He was a brilliant inventor as well as artist, if you didn't know.

I still need to get the first Assassin's Creed. Anyone want to lend it to me for 360?

 

[Ⓐaron]

While I don't have a hard time buying that Da Vinci would be able to invent weapons and shit, I have a harder time believing that he'd actually give them to anyone to use since he regarded war as one of the worst of human inventions. Of course this could be based on the earlier Leonardo who didn't have as much of a problem with it, but still deliberately left flaws in various inventions he wrote down so they wouldn't be used by the wrong people.

 

[Max Payne]

Yeah, it's the working with and being friends with a fucking assassin that's hard to believe.

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Young anarchist Da Vinci?
