Hey, that's one big game that isn't getting smashed into the holiday season! Unless it gets delayed until holiday 2010. Let's not think about that.

It would have been nice to see some [good] first party games that were, oh I dunno, RELEASING THIS YEAR.

Indeed. I wanted a Heavy Rain demo and (2009) date.

[good] first party games like inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2, and A Crack in Time?
God of War is cool and all, but it's still sad that you kids are still clamoring for that kind of generic, albeit fun, action.

It was a mildly disappointing Sony E3 conference. They pretty much showed everything that we didn't need to see and already knew even before the "leaks". I just wanted to see more exclusive Sony titles like Heavy Rain. Final Fantasy 14 and the motion controller was pretty much the only thing that was cool even though I'm not a fan of both

Yeah, there aren't any good first party PS3 games coming out this year if you ignore all the good first party PS3 games coming out this year.

Jeez, what does it take to please you people? I was just happy to hear two new exclusives, you guys wanted to hear of thirteen or something all releasing next week :/
Demanding audience, I could never be a game dev, I'd get frustrated with gamers on day 1.

What the hell sort of logic is this?
You call it mildly disappointing, but then discard every major announcement?
The leaks killed the conference, but your dumb as hell to say it was disappointing. If anything it MET expectations, but certainly didn't exceed them.
Microsoft did the same as they always do. Steal an exclusive, announce a halo, and do a rock band presentation. Its the same format they have been doing for 3 or 4 years now. Ever since GTA4 they have used that format. They like to steal the thunder, but I think Sony was ready and kept their share of the thunder this year. Thats pretty good considering losing MGS ect.

I was hoping after the cut the demo short that he was going to say "don't worry, you can finish the demo available NOW on the PSN" ;_;;

Is it me or does God of War 3 look like Ninja Gaiden on steroids? Instead of ninjas it's greek mythology. The combo meter is there, ripping guys apart is there. The real difference is that there are dance dance revolution button combinations for the boss battles.
But it still looks like an epic game.

Everybody who wasn't listening to fanboys pinning their self-esteem on GOW's imminent arrival knew it wasn't coming this year.
For God's sake, this is the first playable footage of the thing, ever. Last year they barely even have a freaking trailer.

It sure looks pretty, but it also looks like it plays very much the same as the last 2 games!
I might as well play again 1 and 2 and wait till this one price-drops...

Its called playing it to continue and find out how the story ends, thats what sequels are for.

Oh, so I have to endure some repetitiveness in order to find out how it ends?

I love God of War but the series has never been innovative. What made it good was the brillant design and shining level of polish. Stop complaining about originality people!

I have to agree. It seems like everything they showed this year at E3 isn't coming out til next year. I mean, what does that leave us for the holidays? Bioshock, Mass Effect 2, MW2 and AC2? Did anything?

Releasing around the same time of year that the other 2 did, not a huge surprise there.
I was really really blown away by the demo of this and Uncharted 2. Of course there are some bugs that need to be ironed out in GoW 3 but that's why it's coming out in March and not July of this year.
So I can't really decide what's my personal game of the show, this or Uncharted 2. Maybe this, since I already saw a demo of Uncharted 2 before...

I'm not sure when people are going to catch on that this is HOW IT ALWAYS WORKS.
Sony announces it's titles way in advance. Microsoft typically announces theirs much closer to release. So at the start of the year everyone is like "OMG PS3 IS DOMINATING THIS YEAR LOOK AT ALL THESE EXCLUSIVES AND MS HAS LIKE NONE LOL!".
Then, E3 rolls around and MS announces stuff for THIS year while Sony announces just stuff for next year and beyond, and everything balances out again.
Sony already had plenty of big games for this year, so they didn't need to announce more. MS waited until now to announce some of its bigger games for this year.

Uncharted 2, MAG, Ratchet and Clank, WKC. And of course inFamous and KZ2 earlier in 2009. If you do have a PS3 (which I doubt) try them out, all great games, especially Uncharted.
