E3 2008: Sony Press Event (Live Updates)
Posted: July 15, 2008 - 2:11 pm by markdelete

Get all the latest news that SONY has to offer for this year & what is coming next year.

 

Everything starts with a montage of big games from last year & the ones we know that are coming up.

Jack Trenton comes out to welcome everyone & give a little history lesson about the venue the event is in. They did the Academy Awards there & Jack Palance apparently did that famous one handed push up there.

Talks about how the cell processor & horse power is the key to PS3 & what a lot of gamers need to get what PS3 games give to player. "Games like MGS4 aren't just exclusive to the Playstatin 3, they're only possible on the PlayStation 3"

Finally on to some game announcements. First up is Resistance 2.

Playable game demo & there is a boss about that size of the Sears Tower. (Take that Shadow of Colossus) Seriously the thing is immense. 

Ted Price of Insomniac comes to tell us the aim for Resistance is huge epic story telling scale. Resistance 2 take place in the US in the 1950s & lots of major cities have been lost to the Chimera invasion.

Little Big Planet is being used to like a Power Point presentation!

Fiscal Year goals for Sony: PS2-9million PS3-10Million PSP-15Million

$29.99 Greatest Hits from Sony & others.

Resistance, MotorStorm, Warhawk, Call of Duty 3, Fight Night, NFS: Carbon, RSV, and Assassin's Creed; Oblivion: Elder Scrolls, and Ninja Gaiden

LITTLE BIG PLANET IS COMING IN OCTOBER 2008! FINALLY! 

Let's Talk PS2. (that thing is still kicking?)

130 plus titles are on the way this year for PS2.  Some of those are Yakuza 2 (YES! Yes! Yes!), Force Unleashed, NCAA Football, Tiger Woods, Warriors Orochi 2, Singstar Pop vol. 2, Madden, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames 

New PS2 package coming this fall. PS2 slim with Batman:Lego & Justice League Frontier DVD for $129.99.

This fall PSN will have a single sign-on. PS3, PC, PSP, & so on. Now can you get over to Konami & TELL THEM THAT! seriously. Don't really know what they mean here but hopefully we will get more info come fall. 

Coming to PSN is Ratchet and Clank Future, Quest for Booty. A full fledged adventure taking place right after R&C Future. Coming this Summer for $14.99 Looks great & just like the other game. TAKE THAT XBLA!

Lots of cool original content coming to PSN:R&C: QFB, Crash Commando, Fat PRincess (looks like Castle Crashers), PIxelJunk Eden, Pain: Amusement Park, Flower (pretty amazing), Siren: Blood Curse, RagDoll KungFu: Fists of Plastic (Smash Bros KILLER!) 

How about some Gran Turismo TV? Basically a car channel on your PS3. Pay per view clips of Racing events from all around the world. GT Producers & director Yamamachi checking out hype cars from every corner of the planet. Pretty cool for gear heads but how niche do you need to be?

Yet another look at HOME. This time with game inspired Home spaces. Make your pad look like Uncharted, Resistance, or Warhawk. No MGS4 Plane HQ? They are also partnered with Nike. So I can digitally recreate my sneaker collection? PLEASE?!

Of course if you have a Online Store this generation you have to add in a Movie/TV section & partner with all the studios. Sony, Fox, MGM, Lions Gate, Warner, Disney, Paramount, Turner, Funimation are all on board for the PSN store. Stanard & Hi-Def. TV starting at $1.99. $9.99 - $14.99 for moive purchase. $2.99 - $5.99 for rentals. Download to your PS3 & put it on your PSP. Multiple devices at the same time. Same content on PC & PS3 stores. UP & RUNNING TODAY!

What's PSP have for us? Star Wars, Madden, LocoRoco2 (awesome), NBA, Batman Lego, Patapon 2 (kinda the same), Buzz quiz game with ad-hoc play (needs its own bar night for sure)

Sony working with Google to upload game videos to a community. You can also get news, weather, & webcam feeds with LIFE on PSN. So I can go a head & ditch those channels on my Wii?

Wow, Jim Lee comes out to introduce DC ONLINE! Where is WildCATS issue #2 you lazy SOB?

In DC Online you can be a hero & help out Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash & the rest. OR just be a villain & help Joker & Lex Luthor. What no Darkside? We will have to wait & see whenever it gets a release.

80GB PS3 is coming $399.99 & current functionality of the 40GB. Thats only $50 more than a 360 without a Live Gold account.

Montage of PS3 developers giving the PS3 system a nice reach around.

Montage of all the cool stuff for PS3 & coming soon. LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, MGS4, Guns of the Patriots, Quantum of Solace, SOCOM Confrontation, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Soul Calibur IV, Resistance 2, The Agency, Naruto Storm, Mirror's Edge, Resident Evil 5, Singstar, Guitar Hero World Tour, NBA09: The Inside, Buzz Quiz TV, Killzone 2 

GOD OF WAR 3 IS COMING TO PS3! so of we get a 30 second CG trailer. no game to speak of yet.

Next is inFamous. A super hero open world game in a distopian city. Think Assassin's Creed with jedi powers. 

Then we have MAG. (Massive Action Game) 256 player battles! Can my cable modem even take that? 8 player sqauds. Focus on epic battlefield moments. Some how I think 100 fools rushing 1 jet is going to be an issue. Of course we get another CG trailer showing no idea about what a 256 player game really looks like.

THATS IT FOR THE Sony Show! I'm out to go grab my Midnight tickets for THE DARK KNIGHT on Thursday!

'130 plus titles are on the way this year for PS2.' Ok? So that proves Sony needs the PS2 around to continue surviving.

how about a way to go to the download store, insert a DVD, have the thing read it to prove you own it. And then you can DL it to your PSP without jumpin through all the hoops of ripping and converting

you don't like wasting plastic & killing the planet with an extra disc for your DIGITAL COPY?
Reply ScottScott July 15, 2008 - 3:30 pm

I officially declare Sony's Presser for 2008 to be "meh". Absolutely nothing that made me want to buy a PS3. And that kind of makes me sad.
Reply markdeletemarkdelete July 15, 2008 - 4:31 pm
so an older system with no HD movie capability & paying to be called a F@G online is better?
Reply JeremyJeremy July 15, 2008 - 9:11 pm
What the hell are you talking about? Where in that post did I say anything about any system being better than another one? I just said I'm not excited about anything on the PS3. No HDTV = No Care
Reply markdeletemarkdelete July 16, 2008 - 6:42 pm
well true. No HDTV makes 360 & PS3 pretty useless. glad i have one :)

I guess I don't understand where the hate for Sony is coming from. GW3, DC Online, 80gb PS3 for $400, Home, PSN Games, Online Store: all of these are great announcements.
Reply markdeletemarkdelete July 16, 2008 - 6:41 pm
exactly. anyone hating on the Sony showing had their mind made up before hand & have no vision of the future.
Reply ScottScott July 17, 2008 - 10:35 am
Sony needs to get their ass in gear about Home before I get excited for Home.

I can see where MS had a comparable showing, but to say that Nintendo's was better is a joke.
