Fallout 3: bad

FFXIII on 360: whatever

RE5 coop: pretty cool I guess

Wii add-on thing: what

Seriously I don't even get what it does or why you need it. For a system catering to plug and play non gamers, that's not really a good thing.

Oh I forgot one

Valve not releasing Portal thing on their own service: lol moneyhats

You know, all of these trailers that make you select your age for whatever reason depress the hell out of me. I give my mouse wheel a nice, good scroll down the list and come up about five years short of my age when did this happen select button :(

Video games have changed.

Where is Alan Wake? Does it still exist? I think we first saw it like four years ago.

Why do people really care what game a system is on, like that? How is it a "betrayal" in the slightest? This is especially ridiculous because the thing isn't leaving one system for the other. It's on both. I mean christ, get over it.

[negativedge]

Should be some sort of trailer or something then, right?

[negativedge]

I guess I just don't put enough stock in Square to care one way or the other. Nor am I shocked. The people crying about "loyalty" to Sony or whatever are kind of forgetting Square jumped off Nintendo's boat to land on Sony's to being with. The PS3 isn't a dominant platform, so it isn't going to receive exclusive 3rd party content. That's just how it works. If they want that to change, they at least have to differentiate their market enough from Microsoft's to make it advantageous for certain titles to be developed with the PS3 in mind. As it stands, what 3rd party titles are exclusive these days? MGS4 is more or less the only thing. A couple Capcom titles, maybe.

The only difference I see between the PS3 and the 360 is PS3 owners probably like Japanese games a bit more than 360 owners. It's not much at all. They do the same things, they grab for the same market. Square wasn't going to to anything interesting with FFXIII anyway, and this isn't going to change that.

But FFXIII isn't leaving the PS3. The people like Mr. Gamefaqs above that think Square made Tara to be his girlfriend bought a PS3 the day it came about because Tetsuya Nomura is their hero and he told them to. No matter how much we associate the FF series with these people, they are still in the minority. The majority of FF buyers are the kinds of people you already mentioned. They own both systems, they buy everything, they know the difference between an 8.1 and an 8.2.

The guys that take a shot every time they get a chainshot kill are on the opposite spectrum. They don't own a PS3 because Brad across the hall doesn't own a PS3.

The majority of the people that own either system are the kinds of people for which their is no difference between them. Within this subset is the super gamer that has them both and doesn't give a fuck either way. The only difference here is the majority of Gears buyers don't own both system, but the majority of FF players probably do.

The Prince of Persia trailer keeps pulling me in opposite directions. The trailer itself is great. I love the mood (lol Ico), but the actual gameplay stuff didn't look that great, and all the ridiculous team up stuff was...ridiculous.

To wrap up, I am looking forward to:

Mirrors Edge

Left 4 Dead

Street Fighter 4

...maybe Prince of Persia?

None of these games are new.

Settle down, son. Not everyone has every system. Furthermore, no one healthy screams and cries when some dude doesn't own the system they like. Not fucking around here, anyway.

[negativedge]

This game may have a shot.

But fuck, man, werewolf sonic? With a combo meter and shit? Sigh.
