E3: Sony

2008 was billed as the year PS3 will rise to riches. It's already gone pretty well so far, with the console enjoying massive launches such as GT5, GTA IV and MGS4. But there's plenty more still to come.

Sony's E3 press conference kicks off on Tuesday July 15 at 7:30pm GMT and although Sony hasn't been the leaking barrel of holes that Microsoft has over the past few weeks, CVG are expecting it to have a lot to talk about.

because strangly i feel i know everything sony has to offer at e3 which either means sony are very good at keeping secrets or everything has already been leaked

[UNCyrus]

nice find... can't wait until after the press conference on Tuesday to see what new goodies are released on the PSN

[Morgue]

If it's anything like year than there won't be much. I'm also curious as to what will be going on for the people that have access to home?

[Lord_Ash]

"but there's more chance of Master Chief appearing on PS3 than Sony down-sizing the console before 2010"

Master Chief already appeared on the PS3 haven't they played Unreal Tournament 3 ;)

[King2008]

To think about them making a slim ps3...I want all the news they mentioned plis some Tekken 6 love. I want more of the games that isnt on everyones radar...the heavy rains, the white night rpg, those are the games thats gonna blow peoples minds. Here's just hoping for a great show from Sony. Get me excited about the rest of the year and the beginning of 09

E3 2008 will undoubtedly be another catastrophe of epic proportions for Sony and the PS3 just like E3 2006 and 2007 were, yet again being dominated by the brilliant Xbox 360 conferences which draw universal applause and acclaim for the many award winning and AAA titles plus all the great new features and products that are showcased every year, not only from 1st party studios but valued 3rd party partners.

I already have my popcorn and soft drink ready for Sony's conference, it will be most enjoyable to see yet another trainwreck as Sony tries to sell the fandroids an overpriced piece of junk with horrible motion controls and an inferior hardware architecture. I also look forward to the reappearance of giant enemy crabs and other garbage Sony 'exclusives' that fail both commercially and critically.

Enjoy your conference fandroids, I know I will

[THC CELL]

ur just scared of sony fanboy

little big planet will even stamp gears 2 in the ground

[BlaST_ProCesSiNG-]

At which game show did Microsoft unveil: Scene It!, Naruto, Halo 3 Pro Edition, and GeOW1 for PC? Was it GDC 07 or E3 07? lol

[PopEmUp]

If Zhuk is trolling God this is definitely good

[thereapersson]

Well played, good sir. Too bad everyone else around here doesn't understand your play...

I also look forward to the reappearance of Master Chiefs and other garbage Microsoft'exclusives' that fail both commercially and critically.

Enjoy your conference fanbots, I know I will

[juuken]

...Um...I'd say it'll be catastrophic for Microsoft. Their competitor just pulled off multiple death strikes with those sales. I can't imagine the exclusives that will come out after MGS4. If they turn out to be huge successes...then Microsoft better start rolling out the 720.

They're panicking so bad that they're flailing like fish out of water.

[nix]

ha ha... well written zhuk. i like the language you use. professional to the t. q:

yeah.. too bad, many take you seriously.

[DJ]

Jeff Bell's brilliant words will pummel Sony and their arrogant ways, and the huge array of exclusive titles will make the PS3 conference look puny in comparison. Enemy crabs ftl. *Eats popcorn.

[DevonTheDude535]

You obviously are NOT a hardcore PC gamer, because I don't know a single one who would stick up for MS like a lot of 360 owners do. You say inferior hardware, that's like saying 360 has inferior software, Sony is hardware oriented first (NOT JUST PLAYSTATION) and MS is software first (Ever heard of Windows of Office). Hence why PS3 was designed for the long term not the short term like MS rushing to put HDMI on the original model. Sony makes TV's not Microsoft so they see where that market is going before MS does for home theater. Blu-ray is inferior, talk to Konami, EA, and Rockstar they all champion Blu-ray as the BEST next gen disc medium, enjoy 5 discs for Lost Odyssey.

[THC CELL]

dont forget the secret sony game

[GVON]

I just want to see heavy rain, please sony let us have a peek at it.

[Ninja-Sama]

GoW 3 anyone?

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

;-P
;-P
;-P
;-P
Micro$oft's Press Conference = Watching Paint DRY!!! Zzzzzzzzz ;-D

SONY's Press Conference = Excitement,Fun,Innovation,Best games ever etc etc!!! ;-P

[wolfehound22]

I believe there is much instore for Sony fans. There are a lot of great games we know of, and I'm sure just as many we do not know of. There are a lot of game studios that have not given us any knowledge on what they are working on. We also have studios like Rockstar who stated they were going to make exclusive game for the PS3. We haven't heard much from Nautghy Dog, or the team behind SOTC and Ico. So all in all I'm thinking Sony will have a good E3.

Although what I'm thinking is they are going to focus on this years games since they are in a more comfortable spot. Last year was more about what to expect in the coming years. There are plenty of things we still have yet to see from last years E3. Where as this year there selling as good if not better then there competitors and they have a steadily growing software lineup. So I believe what we see this year at E3 we should expect the games and applications to be released within the next couple of months.

[rawd]

I love my PS3 but Riiiiiiiiiidge Raceeeeeeeeer was still one of the funniest sh1ts I've seen

[Panipal2005]

I suppose it's too late for Sony to arrange a showing now if they haven't been paying attention to the internet lately, but just in case TRICO SONY, TRICO!!!!!

[Mutley416]

Still hoping for a ground breaking RPG this year- we got plenty of FPS`s. But E3 is ALL HYPE, show me the games and launch them on time!!!

[UNCyrus]

completely agree... i'm starting to get withdrawal from lack of a good console (non-port) RPG... tease me with XIII, Heavy Rain, something!

[Mutley416]

Damm Ninja you are harsh...LOL

[sonanus]

E3 + PS3 = CG

[SL1M DADDY]

sonanus + N4G = Open Zone

[thereapersson]

I know you're going for the "Biggest Fanboy" award every week, but can you give a rest for a little bit, please?

also, lol @ sl1m daddy...

[DJ]

Some people still think Killzone 2 is CG.

[SL1M DADDY]

I am not sure if it's a split personality or not but just to make it clear, the guy we are posting about is named sonanus. Sonarus must have a stalker or he is using two accounts. lol

[25]

8 days and the getaway aren't really canceled. in fact, they are already done and shipping this holiday season.....oh one can only hope.

[DJ]

Wipeout HD - Too fast.
HOME - Too much community.
Socom- Too much teamwork.
Resistance 2 - Too heartpounding.
LittleBigPlanet - Too creative.
Killzone 2 - Too killy.

And the fact that some people still think it's CG means Guerilla is Definitely doing something wrong.

[DFresh]

Best conference hands down.

This is my order of hype at E3.
1.) Sony
2.) PC-Microsoft
3.) 360
4.) Nintendo

I really can't wait till Sony's E3 comes on.

I'm still gonna watch the Microsoft conference today to get a little info about PC but the 360 count me out.

Nintendo well I'm just curious what their plan is to battle Sony in the long run.

[WINZLOW]

if yall think that 8 avatars watching a movie at the same time is something innovative, just wait and see when HOME brings us a movie theatre. if you disagree than that just proves you are a troll.

[smurfie4]

*Pulls out the douche-o-meter.* You exceed the ignorance level so please do us a favor and stop trolling the ps3 section. Sony clowned Microsoft at last years E3 and I have the feeling the same will be said tomorrow.

[DevonTheDude535]

Yea, MS last year had a crappy Powerpoint presentation and Nintendo's was the worst of the 3 last year. The only thing cool about MS's press conference at E3 07' was showing off Rockband.

[LittleDozer]

With Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 all being announced, who can't help but being excited? Zhuk...you are one sad person. Aside from Gears of War, do you really not realize that Microsoft has no more to offer you but the red ring now???

[muddygamesite]

One game i am desperately looking forward to is WAR DEVIL. Im tired of re-writing the same old rehashed exclusive PS3 list that is filled with shooters and irrelevant PSN titles that could be easily made on mobile phones. We need more information on action games. With the recent DISAPPOINTING FF13 news (please lets be honest, it was a HUGE disappointment), i expect to see something that will counter the negative effect.

Even Some GOW3 news will be well received. Sony CANNOT afford to mess about with stupid announcements. If they fumble, PS3 sales will plummet sharply. Lets Face the Facts, M$ is playing dirty, but at least they are getting the BEST line up of games. Actions games = Check, RPG's = Check, Shooters = Check e.t.c. What Sony now needs to do is make sure they have a First party Division Focusing only on RPG's and Action games because this is where they are lacking.

Honestly i think Sony should Buy Level 5 before WKC gets released. Its obvious they CANNOT rely on SE any further. They should find some other studio that will create RPG's on the scale of the FF series. Thats the only way they can solve this mess.

By the looks of it, the only way Sony can Differentiate themselves from the competition is by creating Solid 1st party titles that cannot be found ANYWHERE else. Tomorrow will determine if my 60gb PS3 will appear on Ebay.

Thank you.

[yaboi]

for everyone!! yay

(except for sonanus) haha

[LittleDozer]

Whats Wardevil even going to be about? I haven't seen many vids on it yet. And dude, cmon, don't tell me your not interested in LBP, R2, and KZ2???

[muddygamesite]

"Whats Wardevil even going to be about? I haven't seen many vids on it yet. And dude, cmon, don't tell me your not interested in LBP, R2, and KZ2???"

I am actually interested in those 3 games, but is that how sad the PS3 line up is? that i have to keep reading the same 3 games list everytime? Sony Shouldnt have cancelled The Getaway and 8 days. They should have put more money into them and scrapped home instead. Games are more important that Second life wanabees and silly Dating simulations.

[LittleDozer]

Hey at least I'm not a 360 fan boy who has been only talking about Gears of War 2. If the PS3 lineup is a little sad, then the 360 lineup should make people cry.

[LittleDozer]

Ah man I hope MAG will be as good as it seems. That game has a lot of potential, and if it reaches it, I won't be able to set my controller down.
