Experts talk about what Sony needs in E3 to get flying colors
E3 is the major event for gamers, developers, and publishers alike. Whatever waves that huge hurricane of video games create can decide whether something will end up a tsunami, or ultimately flop. That said, Sony will need a great boost from this much anticipated gathering where everyone is fighting for the spotlight.
Industry experts Michael Pachter, Billy Berghammer, N’Gai Croal, and Shane Shatterfield sat down with Geoff Keighly to discuss about what can revitalize the PS3 and PSP.
Hottest issues on PS3’s shoulders include exclusivity, the steep price, and the fact that some don’t experience hardware superiority that Sony promised.
The guys at Bonus Round pretty much concluded that the PS3 needs more games to increase momentum. Lair, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Final Fantasy XIII, and Metal Gear Solid 4 have been mentioned. As Shatterfield said, “Metal Gear Solid 4 can’t come soon enough, Final Fantasy XIII can’t come soon enough.”
Pachter, known to talk a lot about price cuts, couldn’t stress it more that the hefty PS3 needs to lower its tag. He believes that an announcement regarding the matter on E3 should give console sales a lift.
About the PSP, Pachter said that publishers should look at the handheld in a different light. According to him, games have been aiming for an immersive experience – something against the pick-up and play nature of portable game devices.
