Also, the 360 games that were exclusive were shown at a different time as Metal Gear. Yes, Metal Gear was shown after they said everything else would be exclusive. However, it was very obviously broken apart from the rest of the games. I never got the impression that they were implying it was exclusive. But maybe that’s just because I don’t care about the Metal Gear series enough to make an opinion one way or the other. But still, I never heard them say it was exclusive during the showing itself. The only time I heard the word Exclusive is when they were mentioning that the series had previously been exclusive to the Sony brand. Which isn’t exactly true, but I’m pretty sure later releases on other systems were beside the point.

Little Big Racer (Until they realize the error of their ways, and rename it…this is what I will call it) looked insanely awesome. Yeah, it’s just a kart racing game, so I doubt it will really be using the PS3’s entire power. But, I doubt they watered it down. I’m sure they are pushing as much into the game as they can. So I had no problem with that statement.

I don’t think square needed to refute it since most company’s will do that and its always clear because the words stick out far to much. Like microsoft mentioning that the games after a certain point were exlusive and then BAM MG raiden comes on. However if it was exclusive you would bet they would mention the word “exclusive” at least 5 times during the showing of it to drill it into peoples minds.

One thing made me laugh was the sony’s karting game and the guy saying “it uses the full power of the ps3″. It was a low quality stream i saw but would be in serious doubt about the ps3 if that was said and shown at an earlier E3.

“See, they’d like to clarify yesterday’s announcement that the game was “exclusive” to the PS3. It’s not. There’ll also be a PC version. Following that, however, a carefully-worded statement said “in terms of all other hardware, including Microsoft consoles, we are considering all other options at this time”.”

Seems to be some mixed messages there.

Natal is far more advanced and could do anything the other motion controllers can do if it works but didnt like the presentation of everyone just jumping/flailing around while sony’s one showed what types of things it could be used in a more normal game setting just made me prefer while watching. Tbh though im not a motion controller person so Natal just wins on the fact it could be used in many aplications outside gaming and the whole hand swipe thing reminded me of minority report.

I loved the motion controls, maybe not loved, but thought it could be used in more real/normal games than microsofts natal could. GoW3 seemed ok but not fan of series.

FFXIV interested me for all of the trailer and thought i’d might buy a ps3 till they added the “online” bit a the end. Also its likely to be released on PC maybe 360 just because of the working they used. Seems to be a timed exclusive or at least the ps3 will be the only platform to play on release day.
