That was by far the most interesting of the 3 conferences.

...I'm waiting.

Haze is a timed exclusive for the PS3, not an outright exclusive. It is also coming to the Xbox 360 and PC. I just checked Gamespot and it shows Unreal Tournament 3 being released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC at the end of 2007. Now, it is possible PS3 has a new timed exclusive, but again, not outright exclusivity. And I believe MGS4 and Killzone 2 are both TBA 2008.

Yes, it's always interesting to see what companies do and how they present themselves when they go from dominating an industry to being in last place. Personally, I enjoy slideshow presentations, although I realize not everyone enjoys numbers and graphs.

[Dyne]

Ok, it did start to get interesting by the time they showed MGS4. Infamous looks pretty good too.

Meh, Haze and UT3 were said to be exclusive this year. People made a big stink when Devil May Cry 4 was to be released on XBox 360 (and it wasn't even a timed exclusive), I don't see how this isn't important.

About Haze:

IGN: Is it a permanent exclusive or will it be timed, ala Oblivion?

Key: Haze will only be found on PS3 this holiday season, and will remain exclusive through the first quarter of the calendar year.

Anyways, exclusives (at LEAST timed) shown:

Third party:

-Haze
-Unreal Tournament 3
-Metal Gear Solid 4

First/second party:

-Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
-Heavenly Sword
-Little Big Planet
-PSN titles (Wipeout HD, Pain, Warhawk, SOCOM, etc.)
-Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
-Folklore
-InFamous (debut)
-Killzone 2 (debut)
-Gran Turismo 5 (semi debut)

did I forget any?

coupled with a ton of multiplatform gems including Call of Duty 4, this is looking like a great future lineup of games for PS3 owners.

[Angrist]

Punch me. I'm enjoying it, but probably for other reasons.

It's funny how they spend a lot of time on casual-gaming. And shooters. A lot of shooters.

[DarkMaster]

MGS4 PS3 exclusive. Guess I'll be buying a PS3.

[Angrist]

Is MGS4 a movie or a game? From those trailers, it looked more like a movie than anything else. I don't want to see a 5-minute cut-scene of 2 guys fighting, I want to bé one of those 2 guys fighting!!

[DarkMaster]

the cut-scene could lead into an actual gameplay battle, but regardless, MGS has always been a cinematic gameplay experience.

[gekko]

I didn't catch all of it, but it seemed like more of the same. *yawn*

I'll pass.

[BlueFire]

Damn. MGS4 will be one of the things that may veer me towards a ps3. I was hoping it'd go on Xbox 360.... buuut, I bet sooner or later it might end up there. Now to watch the trailers :o
