Kotaku: A Quiet E3 Foreshadows Sports Gaming's Biggest Rivalry

Kotaku writes: "Looking back, I can't shake the feeling that it's what I didn't see at E3 that will provide, again, the juiciest story for the year in sports gaming: The showdown between NBA 2K11 and NBA Elite 11.

Last year, both games were the closest they've been, in critical reception, since 2004, although NBA 2K thoroughly dominated at the cash register. EA Sports retrenched with a name change to its franchise and a remade, skill-based control set. 2K Sports brought aboard no less than Michael Jordan as its cover athlete, and will make him a playable athlete for the first time in seven years. And both had a very quiet demonstration in Los Angeles, with EA giving only a behind-closed-doors hands-on with Elite, and 2K Sports showing only an eyes-on demonstration that focused largely on the game's visual polish."

I'm still looking for an affordable english version of aquanauts holiday for the ps3. 5 years later and still no such luck.

Luckily ico and sotc was rereleased on the ps3..

sypher4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

Same here! Plenty of Chinese language ones but trying to find that Hong Kong english one... has to be the rarest officially released (non recalled) game on PS3? :/

Inception4045d ago

They forgot:

1) Tales of Destiny PS1 = $500
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...

2) Tales of Destiny 2 PS1 = $250
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...

3) Vagrant Story PS1 = $150
http://www.amazon.com/Vagra...

But man, that UC2 Fortune Hunter Ed price is overkill! >.<

pecorre4045d ago

I bought Vagrant Story in like new condition on ebay for 35$ earlier this year. PS1 games on Amazon are almost always overpriced.

wishingW3L4045d ago

it happened just like with Persona. You could buy Persona 1 and 2 for like $10-15 on Amazon but then Persona 3 came out, the series became mainstream and all of a sudden the prices from the old games jumped dramatically. And now the same thing is happening with Tales...

Inception4045d ago

Maybe you right for other titles on amazon. But Tales of Destiny 1 & 2 copies always been rare this years. I've been searching for a cheap copies for both of them on playasia or ebay and it's no luck >.<

- Destiny 1 = $700
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tal...
- Destiny 2 = $250
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW...

That's why i never trade my Tales of Abyss and Tales of Graces f + Xillia Day 1 Edition. In case they became very rare in the future.

wishingW3L4045d ago

only one I have it's Megaman Legends 2 but I think the Tron Bonne game is more expensive.

Majin-vegeta4045d ago

I have a shadow heart and LOD unopened copies at my mothers place maybe it's time to dig them out.

wishingW3L4045d ago

just remember that the more you wait to sell em the more valuable they will become!

RoseSapphire4045d ago

This isn't always true. Even a sealed game loses value when a digital version is released. Granted, Legend of Dragoon has already had the digital hit the market.

RoseSapphire4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

Most of these games on the list are not even half the price they had shown. I own a used game store and, using Mega Man 2 Legends as an example, we have it for $55. Legend of Dragoon is a $15 game.

These titles are grossly overpriced in this article and it seems like they grabbed the highest listed eBay price rather than doing any research.

hockeyjockey664045d ago

Thank you. I was saying this to my computer screen the whole time I was reading this terrible article.

Technically not 'games' except two of them. The rest are 'special editions'.

guitarded774206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

I have the MvC2... I should have left it sealed and just downloaded from the store. Kicks self in butt.

EDIT: Just remembered it wasn't sealed when I bought it (GameStop) had them check other stores, but that was the last one from San Antonio to Austin. Only some stores got them.

Treezy5044206d ago

When I used to buy games from GameStop all the time I would refuse to get a copy that was opened. I hated when they would do that, especially since they keep sealed copies in a drawer usually.

Derekvinyard134206d ago

Lmao nba elite 11 was terrible I would never pay for that broken game

KrisButtar4206d ago

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition worth 10k, just wow

guitarded774206d ago

It ain't worth that to me... I'd sell it in a heartbeat if I had one. Love Uncharted, but damn... 10k is a lot of money.

HammadTheBeast4206d ago

A game you've beat, or a new car/full blown entertainment system.

Hmmmm...

Eyeco4206d ago

Yeah if I had 10k now that'll go straight to my Masters fee, that said Uncharted 2 is relatively new game just imagine how much it'll cost in 10-20 years time I would probably keep it for that matter.

brianunfried4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

Just Cause 2 is becoming rare for some reason. The price used at Gamestop has gone up from $17.99 to $29.99. You better get it soon, its an amazing game. I was lucky to grab the last new copy in my city last year for $19.99.

Treezy5044206d ago

Keep that one wrapped up! I wonder what could be causing it's price increase?
