Feels like a ploy to drive engagement in North America and to make some noise in social media.

Not a bad marketing play IMO.

Don't think it's a game that's going to sell big in North America. The Xbox and Dreamcast versions never really sold well here. I thought Shenmue 2 was decent though.

Exclusive launch bundle for Disney Infinity Star Wars and exclusive Boba Fett figure.

I thought XBox had a great E3 today...and Sony is handing it to then tonight...didn't see it coming TBH though Sony would have a fallback.

I love this part of your post. It encapsulates a lot of what you've posted in this thread while doing your best to remain neutral 'for the best of gamers'.

Keep up the good fight, I do enjoy reading your updates on CP.

If they announce a limited edition Battlefront console here then Xbox is going to need a huge holiday from Halo.

I thought Microsoft's new IP's looked more promising. FFVII is great and all but it's still just a remake. Shenmue 3 isn't a big IP or system seller. I would say Last Gardian looks like their best overall exclusive and it's about frikkin time they got this game in full development.

Recore might be game of the show but just from a pure quantity standpoint Sony had a crazy show.

(at least things like that show that it's real gameplay instead of just a video feed/recording)

Don't worry you don't have to apologize for Sony.

I've always felt the Uncharted is more of a demonstration of hardware than anything else. It's got a simple and easy to understand story and is fun if you're not looking for a huge time sink. Not really known for it's gameplay as it's more of a cinematic experience.

The formula hasn't changed since the first game but it's a good formula.

I am kind of excited for Uncharted to end so Naughty Dog can work on something else.

I don't know. IMO it's like the Indiana Jones of video games. Lots of action and fun. The new one doesn't look like anything new or groundbreaking but it will be a fun romp. Hopefully it's the last one for a while as I thought things were getting a little stale in the 3rd game but I'm sure they have some tricks up their sleeve to freshen things up.

Wow what a great show. Lots of great looking games, new IPs, the FFVII remake (!), return of Last Guardian, and capped off by an awesome Uncharted demo. Can't wait!

I liked the Uncharted games and then played Tomb Raider and thought it was a better version of the same game.

If Final Fantasy 7 is playstation first will it likely come to Xbox later?
