What Sony really needs to show us is how they're going to capitalize
on the momentum that they're starting to build on both the PSP and
the PS3... I expect quite a bit of Blu-Ray talk and how great they did
with that... We should see Killzone 2 and God of War 3 in some form
or another.

The biggest thing is that they need to date some of their bigger games
and actually get them into the hands of consumers. We need to know
when HOME, Little Big Planet and other things that will see consoles
are actually going to be able to be played. For too long they've been
talking about how wonderful everything will be and telling us to just
wait for it, now they really need to tell us when everything will be out.

I'm not expecting much from Killzone 2. Much like Killzone 1, it's a lot of hype with very little underneath it--Resistance 2 is the real shooter to be watching out for on PS3.

And unless Sony gets Home out the door now--like TODAY now--it's kinda old news, considering the 360 may beat them to the punch.

Little Big Planet is the first game to combine user-generated content, social networking, and gaming.

Only if they beat Spore to retail.

And then go back in time and erase Halo 3 from existance.

Playstaton 3 online has no hidden fees.

Except for that online magazine thing that they're using to charge for demos.

Grand Tourismo stuff.

PS2 and PSP news. Don't remember much though.

[MatrixPrime]

anyone know when the video store is supposed to go up tonight?

[D Immortalis]

well it appears that in the next 6-8 months, as long as i can still see, ill definitely be picking up a PS3...all those vows i made years ago about never owning a sony system, or giving in to the pressure...well those vows can go to hell. I wanna play Resistance 2, DC universe has me drooling...it s gonna be a good year for me and games.

[Fenix Twilight]

I didn't pay much attention during this, my reaction for Massive Action Game was "Oh, it's a war game." but I don't really know what I expected.


And they announced a Resistance game for the PSP. I don't own a PS3 but from what I've seen I like Resistance the most out of the current FPS out now.

GOD OF WAR THREE. YES.

Screw you, FFXIII.

So... uh... I take it you're extremely happy that Sony announced a game they'd already announced via flyer included with the PSP edition of the franchise, and extremely upset that Square made one of their most popular (and expensive-to-make) titles multiplatform so more people could play (and buy) it?

Bad news that slipped through the cracks: Sony is dropping backwards-compatibility on the PS3 altogether. The capacity upgrade from 40 to 80 kills the last backwards-compatible PS3 on shelves.

[Coglestop]

Too much talk about bluray and movie downloads, but I must say Resistance 2 looks rather impressive, and while it's a shooter, I might just check it out, just for the Kaiju scale bosses. It's always nice to see more LBP footage as well.

I am just STOKED for the official word to come down the pipe that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be multi as well, so I can get that on my 360. I think this week's news is a pretty good sign of things to come.

The big rumor is that KHIII will be on Wii. Not sure how much I believe it, but... I wouldn't be too shocked.

[Shadewing]

Losing KH3 exclusivity would be a pretty big hit to Sony and a bigger one the the Sony-Square fanboys.

:sigh:

I'm kinda pissed I'm going to have to buy a second-hand non-gimped PS3 when I finally take the plunge.

They should've added the emotion chip back in since they cut costs instead of killing it entirely.

What the heck is Sony's problem? Out of all three consoles, the PS3 is the one that would benefit the most from backwards compatibility. The PS2 is still selling ridiculously well, considering how it's already last-gen, and its top titles still beat the pants off of the best of the PS3 library right now.

I've known people who owned a Wii and didn't even realize it was backwards compatible with GameCube. They didn't even care, because it was GameCube. The PS2 is still relevant.


Oh well, being able to download TV and movies onto my PSP is cool. Too bad I'm already happy with just ripping the DVDs I already own....

I think you answered your own question.

It's stupid and short-sighted, but I think they're saying, "hey, we'll just keep selling PS2s, which don't lose money and which we don't have to pay to market."

Which may be true, but it means their flagship PS3 sales suffer, and Blu-Ray gets fewer new adopters as well. It's one less reason for someone to upgrade.

Actually, I have never heard that many people talk about KH3 being a PS3 exclusive. I was under the impression that the title is considered/rumored widely to be a multiplatform release.

Then again, Disney and Sony seems to be good pals........
