J Allard new interview

lol, UT 2007 will be a game, in 2 years. But that doesn't mean the 2 months old UT 2007 DEMO was an actual game. See the difference?

I saw one game in the montage clips they showed that actually looked like a real game being played.

It was that ubisoft shooter and they only showed it for maybe 5 seconds, and the graphics stunk. The gameplay mechanics looked very cool, but the graphics were very unimpressive.

Everything else was video clips, trailers, or scripted movies etc etc.

You flat out said NO GAMES WHERE SHOWN....then when mckmas8808 points out Unreal 2007 you say you already talked about it in a different post....that is a game right JVD? Just because its not going to be a system seller (No one said it was, he was just pointing out A game that was shown) its still a game that was shown

Read the thread . Read and see what I flat out said .

I will give u a hint its about 3 pages back .

What i said was its a game slated to be released in 2007 and that was it , that is all we were shown that was a game and wasn't cgi , tech demo or in the case of heavnely sword ( not as clear cut as we'd like )

Read the post since I admit unreal 2k7 long before he got involved .



ff-7 is not totally representive of what they are pushing for ps3 ff games as none of it was real time and i put it in the same bs as i do with kill zone .


I'm going to drop this arguement because it is just going to be the same as all the other ones on if sony is lieing or not and its just going to go down the tubss quickly

So why are alot of the media giving Sony the best of show. More people are considering that Sony looked the best coming out of E3.

Because they are stupid? That's the only conclusion I can come to. Coming to such a conclusion based off of a hollow shell and CGI movies is a Dan Rather-esque media blunder. The gaming print press has no credibility. I'd say you have more credibility than an IGN or a EGM. Hell, when sites like Reuters start getting their "inside information" from the TeamXbox forums, it's time to step back and sort out what's credible and what's not.

Gawd knows that if Microsoft instead showed off CG movies of how they thought the final products would look, the media perception would have changed in MS favor, but that would have been stupid as well. I see fanboys on forums with more common sense than the shit I see in the mainstream media and gaming press. I mean, one media outlet went as far as giving the PS3 "Hardware of the Show"? That would not fly at at a CES or COMDEX. Imagine ATi showing a video of what the R600 is SUPPOSED to do in 2007 and then coming away with hardware of the show. Imagine Intel showing theoretical benchmarks for a four core CPU that they expect to show up in 2008 and winning an IEEE award for it.

What we have in the gaming press is largely a bunch of fanboy lackeys in t-shirts who get excited by pretty pictures and grandiose promises and print them like little propaganda machines. Then on the other hand we have the largely ignorant general media covering an event that they know jack squat about, but since they write for the Technology section of the New York Times, that automatically qualifies them as an "industry expert". They don't know the difference between CG and real-time graphics. They don't know that when Kutaragi held up the PS3 that it really wasn't final hardware in his hands. They didn't realize or care that Xbox 360 games were running on incomplete hardware and were not representative of the finished product. So they jump to conclusions and make judgements based on the facade that the marketing departments at ACME Games throws up in front of them.

A well-seasoned PC magazine reporter or consumer electronics guru knows how to avoid these things and is able to filter through PR and marketing hype and come to sound conclusions. The gaming press and general media didn't show such shrewdness and caution when covering E3, so for the most part what was printed should not be taken seriously. I mean, why in the hell would the PS3 win hardware of the show?

What sony showed at E3 was pure marketing genius, because if they don't live up to what they showed it's ok, because they already got enough sony fanboys who will sit there and wait for PS3 like a loyal puppy, if they do bring it then more power to them, but I rather see real gameplay than some marketing hype.

Sony got caught off guard and now they are scrambling to build the RSX, they promised graphics that probably won't even show up until next, next gen and they got all the media believing there marketing hype, and the media is eating it up most of them are showing no respect to 360 or nintendo, sites like gamespot went nuts after sony conference most of them thought that they were in heaven, 3 week later alot of these editors and writers on that site is starting to sing a different tune.

Now all we hear from KK is that 360 is x1.5, or x360 is going after Ps2, the more and more i hear KK speak the more it sounds like he's scared, there's a chance that they won't live up to what they showed, and then there's a chance that they will have to deal with nintendo at launch, because I can see nintendo doing the same thing to did when xbox launched, launch the same time with sony.
