some intressting points
Kouji Okada is founder and president of Gaia, who released Jewel Summoner on PSP this January and is also the creator of the now-legendary Megami Tensei series of RPGs. He says the biggest surprise of E3 was "definitely the price of the PS3. As a Blu-Ray player it's cheap; as a game console, it's expensive. You might enjoy the games you get, though really. Is it a 'game machine' or an 'entertainment machine'? Then there's the Wii. The games are playable and sharp. They're friendly, though I imagine they'd get kind of boring after a while."
This is what i was thinking about the Wii, the controller could turn out to be a gimmick and get a bit boring, or it could do really well no one knows.
Noritaka Funamizu, executive director of Craft and Meister, makers of the Monster Hunter series, believes that "the network capabilities will sell the PlayStation 3." Maybe he knows something we don't about how cool Monster Hunter 3 is going to be? He also believes the Wii "has some potential none of us can imagine yet." His final comment is that "Final Fantasy XIII looks really cool. I watched that movie and thought, yes, this is what it means to make a game people love at first sight."
Cant wait to find out what the PS3 online is going to be like.
Akimi Watanabe, producer at Flight Plan, makers of Black Matrix and Summon Night, believes that "The PlayStation 3 looks like it might still be widely used ten years from now." He says it seems like it really has its head on straight about online content. He believes it will work out in the end. The Wii, on the other hand, he says will be a valuable training-ground for developers who serious "need to learn new ideas." Incidentally, three people who make games based on anime licenses all seem most excited about the Wii.
So the Wii's going to be cartoony like the Gamecube?
Sega's Takumi Yoshinaga, producer of the eccentric Feel the Magic touchy-feely games/concept-collections for Nintendo DS, shocks me by saying, "I'm definitely going to be focusing on the PlayStation 3." He describes E3 as "a little lonely, yet overwhelming; there were just so many games flying around between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3."
Soz if theres a lack of Xbox360 comments. Im trying to keep it balanced.
