I'm pretty sure that a console with the specs of my PC would totally blow said PC out of the water. It may be MORE conventional this time round but PCs and consoles are totally different beasts. I tend towards buying the PC version of multi-format stuff at the moment but console exclusives (especially PS3 ones) still…

I'm just curious to know what you were expecting if you are so disappointed.

When it comes right down to it, there's nothing stopping people making a facebook profile and treating it like a centralised gamertag.

You can quiet easily say the reverse. They confirmed the pretty impressive specs that had already been leaked, we got a decent look at the new controller which looks like an improvement on the current one, we saw a new Killzone (YMMV but I'm a fan), we saw what Evolution were working on, likewise Media Molecule and…

I think he meant 'great for consoles' as in 'this will be a positive thing for consoles.'

Well, as someone who really enjoyed the PS3 Killzones and Infamous 2 I'd take issue at that 'terrible' comment. Please don't confuse personal taste with a measure of quality that is supposedly shared by everyone.

Look at the Uncharted games and then check how much memory the PS3 has...

You'd have to have more money that sense to do something like that...

It's utterly ridiculous, isn't it?

If only!

I was hurrying to post just that! Someone sort it out...

I was just thinking the same thing.

I loved that game but I remember not being at all impressed by the mode 7 effects on the scenery at the time. Not that it remotely spoiled how awesome the game (and the music) was.

I remember playing some pebble beach golf game on what I vaguely recall was the SNES (could be wrong) and renaming all the golfers to the most random people from various SF and Fantasy stories. It was quite peculiar...

Convenientium

Pretty close, actually.

Yeah, sign me up for that. The game, I mean, I'd rather not go through it for real!

Probably doesn't help that I read (and was freaked out by) 1984 at an impressionable age!

Good call, surprised that's not on there.

I think that's the thing; It doesn't really give me any of that sense of wonder or immersion and I usually love that sort of thing. Most of my favourite films and games ARE my favourite films and games because I love just getting lost in the visuals and soundtrack and how they fit together.
