Watch PlayStation’s gamescom 2012 Press Event

Posted by Jeff Rubenstein // Sr. Social Media Manager -

Guten Tag from Cologne, Germany! The doors to gamescom 2012, the world’s largest gaming event, officially open tomorrow, but the news and announcements start today. PlayStation’s gamescom press conference should certainly be of interest to gamers in North America, and fortunately the timing of the evening event means that you can watch it as it happens. We’re streaming it live right here, beginning at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific:

[Pacman321]

600° and no comment...strange...

[srcBFMVBMTH]

I know right? Lol

[DarkTower805]

And a little late to the party...

[Relientk77]

People be watching the conference not commenting

[DarkHeroZX]

THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

And with the LBP2 cross control feature it really does show that the ps3 and vita are capable of doing everything the wii U can do without taking a hit in performance. I guess it pay the vita has its own processor and gpu to help make this all possible.

[sikbeta]

Nice conference, so much better than E3, excluding TLOU and GOW:A which were the best of E312

[Bedlam_at_lokis]

I was wondering about that...

[daggertoes83]

Yea these fire ratings are questionable.

[Dmarc]

ITS A CONSPIRACY THEORY !!

[PLAYER5095]

ehhh. Microsoft's event was wayyyy better!

[Relientk77]

I was thinking of giving u bubbles for being funny, but decided against it

[Protagonist]

@Relientk77

U are getting the funny bubble from me ;o)

[Knight_Crawler]

S;oioioi

[DarkHeroZX]

I accidently hit for trolling :P

[ProjectDeputy]

m$ conferances sucks as always...kinect,kinect and guess what...more kinect

[rezzah]

Wait, you also forgot the Kinect.

[chukamachine]

Strangely enough i goto see Halo4. Does not look any better then reach tbh.

[ProjectDeputy]

halo 4 is a metroid prime wannabe

[Fez]

Just started watching.... Wonderbook... Just stopped watching...

[mushroomwig]

Because everything has to appeal to you, right?

[Fez]

I'm gonna to have to start put disclaimers before my comments - "The following comment is rated S for shit joke"

[padz1]

You forgot the S^

[Hayabusa 117]

No Fez, it just turns out that 29% of the adult population used to fantasize about flicking a wand at a book to make pumpkins grow. Now their dreams have become reality and there you are insulting their future past time.

Seriously though, I know games are for all audiences but how can you blame a grown man like Fez for switching off during a Wonderbook presentation? Something is seriously wrong here...

[Fez]

It's got to be more than 29% of the adult population.

7 agrees and 29 disagrees and counting...
That means 80% of the people on this site are looking forward to Wonderbook. And we're supposedly hardcore gamers... which means that percentage is probably higher for the casual gamers. Wow, wonderbook is going to be a massive hit!

[Emilio_Estevez]

You prolly missed some good stuff then!, even though N4G could give you that info anyway!

[richierich]

That wonderbook thing looks awful

[Irishguy95]

Fufufu how dare you insult a Sony product on N4g!

It really does look ****. But it's not aimed at Adults, or any being of intelligence. Kids would love it and I bet it will sell loads

[A-Glorious-Dawn]

But Diggs!

edit: as a child I would have LOVED that walking with dinosaurs book.

[refocusedman]

This is a damn shame. This conference is already much better than the E3 conference. The only thing that it need is a few trailers of the last of us and beyond.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Microsoft's show was amazing! :)

[JBernardo]

Yeah. I loved that part when they show off the power of the kinect! Such a powerful peripheral! /s

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

All the invisible graphics left me wanting xbox!

[rbluetank]

How come KillZone Vita game looks so good graphic wise/gameplay and COD BLK OPS Vita look like crap..? The COD BLK OPS Vita game is a Vita seller???

[Protagonist]

Look at the trailer again, it actually does look bad but I do agree Killzone looks amazing.

[Biggest]

Don't forget that it's Call of Duty. They aim for the least possible work for the most possible gain. I'm just glad it isn't stick figures and boxes.

[rbluetank]

i read that GG got the KZ3 engine to work on the Vita... this is amazing and going forward the Vita will just rock. I hope alot of Dev put in the effort that matches the effort that GG put into the Vita!!!

[Protagonist]

@rbluetank

Really? that is pretty amazing, the first screenshots at the beginning of the year did not look though but they must have improved the game since then.

[zaz12]

after this show, we won't see doom and gloom articles for some time

[cchum]

Nope...it will be something like: "Does Sony have too many games on Vita?"

[cyberninja]

Sony delivered today big time. I wonder why Nintendo haven't showed up? They launching a console this year, weird. As for Ms - no surprise here, the don't have anything to show, except maybe a new xbl price hike and new generation of dashboard ads.

[Romudeth]

This was better than the E3 conference. No Wonderbook = win.

[fabod86]

watch it again, wonderbook was there and it wasn't so bad :)

[zoks310]

Easily one of Sony's best game conference in years. Good job PS Europe.

[Dakidog]

I don't care what anyone says...Until Dawn stole my wallet when they snatched that bitch through the door lol!

Oh and they did show wonder book...it's not bad for kids(at least i thought that diggs thing was kinda cool).

[Knushwood Butt]

Yeah, Until Dawn looks like everything I've been wanting for a horror game for years, and that the established franchises (Silent Hill, Resident Evil etc) have failed to deliver.

Plus, I get to use Move too.

Definite buy.

[Hanuman]

PS+ got me exited. The cross-platform between vita and PS3 was just amazing. The posibilities are beyond belief. DID HE JUST SAY A 1000GB SKU is coming?! Yeuh..

[Emilio_Estevez]

Twas a good conference.

[neversawthestars]

When do we get to see all the neat inovative 360 games cool at gamescom? Im excited to hear all of our exclusivabout new IPs comingbetween now and early 2013. I hope they save some blockbusting titles for TGS! announcementsOne can only be sated by Halo and indie games for so long after such a dry retail spring/summer/coming fall. newsnew Nah just kidding. This years been crushing to Sony with our 1st and 2nd party games like Sleeping Dogs, Spec Ops the line , and who can forget Max Payne 3! Its never been better to be a 360 owner! Anyone up for a game of Darklight?
