Sony promises Leipzig 'blockbuster'

MCV:

"At an exclusive European media briefing, SCEE president David Reeves told MCV that global announcements and 'blockbuster' revelations will emerge from the Leipzig event, and even backed the possibility of a London-based show."

[pwnsause]

well thats a pretty bold statement, you better shock me Mr. Reeves.

[Bombibomb]

All they need is Heavy Rain. Microsoft will show a teaser for the next Halo from Bungie but Sony, like always, will announce new things.

[-M4verick-]

lol you sound like you're convining yourselfs now. What antoher CGi trailer?

PS3 sucks!!!

[pwnsause]

"lol you sound like you're convining yourselfs now. What antoher CGi trailer?"

Why not, CGI trailers are welcome, since the PS3 can match it unlike the flopbox. see what i did there, dont fall in your own trap.

[Tmac]

Lmfao Another CGI Trailer, lol! Everytime Sony has showed us a CGI trailer the in-game graphics matched it, can't wait for you to eat your words.

[Bombibomb]

E3 was awesome in my opinion. M.A.G. & God of War 3 announcements + we finally got to see gameplay for InFamous, which looks incredible by the way but what I really wanted to see at E3 was Heavy Rain, which will be at Leipzig next month. Stage presentation by Quantic Dream, in fact.

[NO_PUDding]

Yer it's weird that they didn't pump more of the awesome annoucnements at America which is according to them, the only place where they aren't in the lead.

Anyway, does this hitn at all at Team ICO? Global, and important in Europe? I Damn well hope so, even though TGS seems way more likely.

[Vojkan]

@bombibom

Well E3 was not awesome. Really? We only saw mediocre GOW3 CGI vid and same goes for MAG another pre render vid. Sony press conference was solid but nothing amazing.
360 press was pathetic, me 2 copy cat and Nintendo well no comment there...

[marinelife9]

Did MS save it's Halo bullet for Europe? Will they have any ammo left for Tokyo or did they shoot their load?

[Gorgon]

MS may be saving the anouncement of Halo for Europe to try to goad the europeans into buying more Xboxes. The problem is that Halo is an US centred IP, its not really the type of stuff that resonates much in Europe. They would have been smarter to play that card in the US E3. But then again, I don't think they have much more cards to play and this may be a way to spread out their announcements to atually have something at all to show throughout the year.

[incogneato]

E3 was awesome indeed and to think Sony is promising a blockbuster at Leipzig, which is so soon, has me giddy like a school girl. LOL.

[cp68]

Sony better announce so huge that it will make us forget about FFXIII 's lost exclusivity.

[Regret]

You can still play it on your PS3 :S It's not canceled for PS3 dammit.

[LastDance]

hahaha... Yeah ...coz ..thats all i err...think about all day......

[Kyur4ThePain]

You're pathetic.

[thor]

FFXIII going to 360 was 360 news. I don't care about 360 news because I don't have a 360. Looking at Sony's E3, it could have been better, but it wasn't bad at all. We saw Killzone 2 multiplayer, more littlebigplanet (awesome as always), infamous gameplay, 2 major new game announcements for ps3, loads of PSN and PSP announcements, motorstorm 2 was looking more polished, resistance 2 looked gorgeous in places (ugly in others but it can be improved upon hopefully). So as I say, it wasn't bad.

[cp68]

mate i'm tired of shooters. Enough already. Enough with killzone2, enough with resistance 2, enough with socom, enough with shooters. What the hell is wrong with this generation of gaming providing us shooters 24/7? i want more action-adventures games, i want more platform games, i want more puzzle games, and most of all i want more ROLE PLAYING GAMES.
Where are the bloody RPGs?

[thor]

I have an idea why, it's because RPGs have the longest development cycle and cost to produce _anyway_, add that to the already high cost of PS3 game development and it really is significant to create an AAA RPG, just look at how much they're spending on killzone 2; and they don't even need to think up much of a story, make a 40+ hour game, or record lots and lots of dialogue etc.

However, I can't think that team ICO will be making a shooter, and if it involves shooting in any way it certainly won't be traditional. Plus, Square Enix has promised us something, and Heavy Rain will be an action adventure, more similar to an RPG (in fact it may fall loosely into that category but we don't know yet).

Also, I'm sure that naughty dog are working on uncharted 2 and that.... is another shooter. The game that was just announced (Hardware 2 or whatever) is a shooter, albeit vehicle based but another shooter. MAG is a shooter. It has 256 player online, so what? I bet after 6 months of release there won't even BE 256 players playing it at any given time, because all the shooter fans will be spread wafer-thin across all the numerous shooter franchises.

[cp68]

All i'm looking forward to these upcoming 12 months are:
*LittlebigPlanet
*Heavy Rain
*God of War III
*Team ICO's secret project
*Metal Gear Solid 5
*and of course, JRPGs

All the others can kiss my butt.

[ustayclassyn4g]

ico 3!!!

[Bombibomb]

TGS.

[NO_PUDding]

But the reason I mentioned it is becuase he said it was worldwide.

And Team ICO is important the world over in a cult (although it's getting bigger and bigger) way.

[Gorgon]

Yes, but Reeves said they are going to spread out the announcements throughout E3, Leipzig and TGS, so "Ico3" will certainly be announced at TGS. At leipzig we will be hearing (and seeying) Heavy Rain.

And no, "Ico3" won't be a shooter, thats for sure.

[ustayclassyn4g]

yeah ico would more likely be shown at tgs, but where'd it say the blockbuster game is a shooter? it'd be disapointing if it's another shooter, resistance2, mag, Killzone 2, bioshock, not like there's a gap for them.

[DarkBlade]

Stop getting my hopes up God dammit. LOl

@Gorgon Imagine Sotc with Guns. that would be freakin Awesome. But nothing beat Wander's awesome weapons. Harpoon of Thunder rules.

[Gorgon]

DarkBlade:

huh...I really hope they don't do SotC with guns...

;)

[DarkBlade]

that why i wrote but nothing beat wander weapons. It would be a stupid to add gun in a game that seem gun isn't even invented in that time.

[Dream Machine]

I swear, if they announce one more generic FPS I'm going to scream. Me wants Heavy Rain, and other innovative games.

A London based show would be awesome, maybe I could sneak in somehow...

[kosha]

Yeah i was thinking that maybe i could do a mgs style sneak in if they go to london. I also wanna see heavy rain.

[NO_PUDding]

I would be there.... I woudl love that so much.

[thePatriot]

you look at these shoters and cant say they are generic. they are all unique in a wery big way. (its just that there is so many of them) call of duty world at war wolfestain quantum of solace, preety much all the 3rd party games are generic but we cant change that

[TheDude2dot0]

@kosha

Doing a sneak king impression will be a lot more effective.

[pp]

Hahaha if Microsoft shows halo .no matter how many exclusives Sony shows they will not be the main talking point of the show because halo will take that glory

[LTC]

Yeah all in its 640p glory

[Shadow Flare]

Halo? Halo?? Is that all Xbox ever counts on? Halo? Halo is Xbox's life-support, it NEEDS halo. Geez get some new games. Oh yeah, MS can't cos they only have like 2 in-house studios. By the way, Sandip owned you in that other thread PP. A don't, aba don't, aba don't pp your pants folks!!

[thor]

If 360 didn't have halo, no one would have a 360. I suppose then microsoft could have hyped the $hit out of another game, but the sole reason for an awful lot of 360 purchases was halo, and its massive advertising campaign.

[deathray]

MS = one trick pony. HALO? Another Halo? Puhlease.

[JCITY]

i think there gonna announce home ...it may sound a little far fetched buy they gonna announce it!! i'll put money on it there talking like there going to delay it..wat better way to get the public rocking with great new gmaes and the release of home!!?? think about it for a sec then comment...it very well could happen...i think team ico's game will be announced also...we gonna forgeet about killzone.....not that i want to

[Prismo_Fillusion]

You think the "blockbuster" announcement is going to be the delaying of Home?

*facepalm*

[TheExecutive]

@ Prismo.

I remember last TGS when Sony's biggest announcement was the actual delay of HOME lol

It was the biggest *facepalm* ever produced by Sony.

[Goldsack]

...i want to see HEAVY greeny tears when the REAL EXCLUSIVE game will announced, please let it RAIN sony, !!!

[SuperSharpShooter]

new game called HARDWARE 2 (prototype name.) and heres the proof
Sony London,Sony Liverpool and another 1st party dev.

http://playstationlifestyle...

[TheColbertinator]

All right.I'll believe it when I see it.

[mistertwoturbo]

Fear Effect 3 anybody?

[INehalemEXI]

That would be nice.

[DFresh]

Sony is confirmed to have 12 new announcements separate from their show that their going to announce.
All PS3 Exclusive and all only possible on the PS3.

[Kage-Proxy]

...as it is NOT Hardware 2!

[pp]

I've heard microsofts also got some exclusives to show which are only posible on xbox360

[THE TERMINATOR]

PP loves being shafted

[TheColbertinator]

Exclusives on the 360?

You mean Vampire Rain 2?Sweet!I can't wait

[silverchode]

those exclusives must burn houses in record time. only possible with the 360.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

What do you mean PP? Alan wake? the game that was shown on PC and never seen again?

[deathray]

bet you're really looking forward to viva pinata

[axeblade1]

The "blockbuster" announcement he says is actually a partnership with Blockbuster Video to deliver content from blockbuster streamed to the PS3. maybe blockbuster is creating thier own "watch now" service to stay competitive against Netflix? That would be a play on words huh? Probably wishful thinking though. It would be cool if it was the PS2 store!!

[TheWickedOne]

Probably is wishful thinking. But smart comment.

[wangdiddy82]

is going to have the same effect as halo 3.. I dont think its going to be as big.. i know a lot of people who were disapointed in halo 3 and are pretty much over the game..

If anything its probably going to be halo wars..

[Rhezin]

exactly is so good its only worth a rental. HAHAHAHA

[gtgcoolkid]

this is intriguing. it better be something huge after the way they are pumping up the announcement

[Dark General]

Is that it's new footage/gameplay for Heavy Rain along with whatever other project that Sony Liverpool is producing over there. Maybe even a Killzone 2 online beta announcement.

[peedie16]

Oh and you guys don't forget they said the are going to show the new sing star game

[59fifty8]

be better and shut ms up, yeah better rite hello we still need a game trailer of god of war 3 n some tekken 6 thats it, but sony is sony so they will show off heavy rain and square enix exclusive, oh plus afrika..
yeah what i thouth shut up.

whats only possible on 360 a fried system yeah or ring of death what ever is better for u.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Heavy rain will obviously be there,and anyone who's played
Indigo prophecy back in the day will now how amazing "Quantanic dream"
are at making games.

Hopefully one of the two team ICO games will be shown.

A possible Rockstar exclusive game being shown.

In any case..yes..Sony will dominate Leipzig

[grantps3]

i cant wait

[SmokingMonkey]

SONY is set to show us a lot of things for the future and delivering the BEST 1st party line up in the business

HALO going multiplat! didn't they say the new HALO annoucement was to big for E3?

just kidding, i don't even like HALO and i've PLAYED it
