Man... Metal Gear Solid does have a lot of ... nut buisness. I just loaded my old save from MGS3 and the bad guy comes in and grabs Snake's pants after saying "I was waiting for you in my room". I think that is what messed up him and his "sons" right there.

I like the way Sony does updates. Also I like the PSBlog, seeing that they are working on their consumers most wanted features. I'd hate having to wait months for updates. It is like, do you want small improvements now, or one huge one every half year? I'm weak. I want simple updates every few weeks.

Also some of the CAG's have a PS3 Wallpaper thread now.

My Thoughts on MGS4 Gameplay not being Shown at E3

I think there are two major reasons.

1.Hideo Kojima has been very up front about his feelings that the New E3 was a step in the wrong direction, he feels that the old format with the large attendance and Spectacle helps to bring mainstream awareness to gaming.

2. Since the new E3 had so many fewer Invites, there may have not been as many members of the Japanese press able to attend E3 this year. Kojima was smart to show off the game in Japan where it could make a huge splash among the Japanese Audience.

What, ah, eh? I'm listening now - haven't gotten to that yet, but congrats in advance!

Anyway, Cheapy, just wanted to say I found your response to my comments about MP3 to be entirely acceptable and appropriate. I know you don't often hear that from people in these show threads so I just thought I'd throw that out . I have to admit, while I really like the 3D Metroids, I haven't finished either one. I am intrigued by the Wii controls though (and it supposed to look at least marginally better than the GC ones ).

As for Katamari, I'm fine with "more of the same" on that one. No jaggies and a solid frame rate will be great. I've been getting the itch to bust out the old PS2 ones - now I can just wait for the new one. On the pricing: well, you guys forgot the PSP version in the incremental gouging. We had the original at the great price of $20, the sequel at an OK $30, then the PSP version at an unacceptible $40. You can see where this is going - I'm sure the 360 version will be $50 (can't imagine it is $60). I preordered it at Gamecrazy and they had it either for $40 or $50 (can't remember - but it is probably not a final price anyway).

Edit - EB/GS has it listed on their website for $39.99. That is good news if true - I'll gladly pay that for it!

Nintendo's press conference had way too much gloating, Microsoft's too. Powerpoint presentations are just boring.

You guys don't know why they didn't show MGS4 gameplay? It would've stolen the show away from anything else Sony had shown. Plus, they weren't planning to show anything until the next week or two, so they get their own spotlight to shine and announce new things. Cheapy didn't answer my question in the MGS4 thread about if you're actually excited about the game or not. Mind explaining if you're thinking about picking it up or not.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't impressed by MS's lineup this fall. Besides multi-platform third-party stuff, I'm not interested in much else. They'll be great for those that are interested in those types of games, but that doesn't include me. Maybe Blue Dragon and Mass Effect, but not enough to be pick one up with the plethora of hardware problems unless I have help to be able to afford it. What Sony has, especially from Insomniac and Naughty Dog, is more interesting to me. I guess taste has no bearing on that type of thing.

About Wombat's complaints about the MGS4 gameplay video, the cutscene was brief and you can play the game however you like. If you want to shoot everybody and not sneak, you can do it, as long as you don't suck. Cheapy, Snake hit the guy in the balls. Not a punch, but enough to knock him out.

The Heavenly Sword demo should be the same demo that's been shown at the conferences for the past year.

I like how Cheapy can read N-Gai as N-Gay so easily, but has trouble saying N-Guy like he was saying something innapropriate without laughing.

Response to Cheapy's answer to my CAGbag question: I did say that you guys poo-pooed the hype, not the game.

Congrats on the big news, Cheapy.

Good show, despite Cheapy's crankiness.

Wow - the surprise was one thing, but the October due date is even more of a surprise. How could you keep a lid on that for so long? My wife is due mid November and we've known for ages, it seems (also a boy by the way, but that's nothing new to me). You guys are due right around the corner... Too bad, though, Cheapy, you'll have to play Mass Effect with the volume down so as not to wake up your newborn . Though perhaps the noise of the 360 itself will wake him up, even with the volume all the way down . (By the way it was me who mentioned that the Halo demo was probably running off the HD - like I said, my Elite is very quiet when running XBLA games and the like but a beast with 360 games so it seems, maybe, MS has quieted down the fans though I have no idea what that means for overheating).

Edit - One final note from the end of the show when Wombat asks if there are any big releases next week - HELLO, Mario Strikers Charged! Now, sure, not everyone will be into that, but it is the first *real* online game for the Wii and (friend codes aside) will be a big test for the online capabilities of the Wii and, more importantly, Nintendo's online infrastructure. It should be a nice early test of how well things like SSBB (hopefully online, though Nintendo is suspiciously quiet on that front) and Mario Kart (definitely online) will go...
