Sony's Embarrassing E3 2006 Press Conference

[jbanes]

It's Ridge Racer!

 

I'm sorry, I just can't stop laughing at this video. Once you look past Sony's neat-looking tech demos, it's quite clear just how badly they stuck their collective foot in their mouth.

 

"So this game has actual battles from ancient Japan..." [...] "And here we have this giant crab..."

omg i just watched this on my lunch break at work, and i was cracking up.. i didnt think it would be that funny.. "now we will flip over this crab on its back, and attack its weakpoint for massive damage" LOOOOL

 

RIIIIIDGE racer!!

 

Omg , and then "we have invested bilions of dollars and thousands of man hours to give you this experience" then it shows the boring african sunset scene LOOL.

 

i like what one person said in a review "I mean..."The levels are based on real battles in Japanese history...so uh...here's this giant crab...."

"And this game has AMAZING features, like... uh... Real-Time Weapons change... and... uh... we can flip over this crab on its back... err... if it ever shows up."

Okay, I have to admit some parts of this veideo were pretty funny. (highlights being empasized by AtariJr)

 

But other than that, why does everybody have to pick on Sony so much? Yes the PS3 will be expensive, but I have to say Sony to date has had some of the best games for the current generation, so why would this not be true for the next?

 

If anything Micrsoft deserves the shame. Hardly anything worth mentioning has come out for the 360, and it has been on the market for nearly a year. Not only that, but the system is glitchy as hell and is full of problems. I know most systems at launch have issues, but this is rediculous.

 

At least Sony has some pretty impressive looking launch titles.

thats the beauty of this site.. we can pick on everyone . People do make fun of M$'s quality and lack of reason to buy the system right now. And as far as Sony is concerned, we dont feel 600 dollars is worth it (most of us believe so) and honestly, they are losing most of thier big name franscises to Nintendo and Microsoft.. so why spend all that money when the games you want to play like Finaly Fatasy and GTA are on the other two systems... just a thought.

Seen the Final Fantasy 7 tech demo for the PS3? When the creator was asked if FF7 was going to be remade for the PS3 his reply was "Never say never!"

 

I'm sold. FF7 in realtime, instead of the pre-rendered backgrounds sounds good to me. Hell even if they don't remake it I still think the system looks damn impressive. I sold my PS2 years ago and I wish I hadn't... I only got my Gamecube to get me by until the PS3 comes along.

 

I'm interested to see how a Silent Hill game would turn out on this kickass hardware as well.
