Top 10: Essential Leipzig PS3 announcements

VideoGamer.com writes: "When Sony Europe boss David Reeves said that we'd see some Sony announcements at Games Convention 2008 we imagined all kinds of things. After figuring out Sony announcing the PS4 isn't all that likely we put together our Top 10: Essential Leipzig PS3 announcements. Based on what Sony showed at E3 and what we know is coming, these are the 10 announcements that gamers everywhere want to see. The kind of announcements and events that will have people talking about Sony and the PS3 for weeks after the show is finished."

I really hope Sony show or mention that A second Heavenly Sword game is in the making. I love that game.

Xi5826d ago

If I recall correctly, they [ninja theory] are working on a multi-platform game right now that hasn't been announced, and they don't have a large enough team to work on 2 titles simultaneously.

However if sony renews a contract with them to make the next IP (remember sony owns the HS ip, like MS owns the gears/halo/pgr IP's) they'll likely work on it.

http://www.videogaming247.c...

however it seems they are focusing on their multiplatform title.

Palodios5826d ago (Edited 5826d ago )

You might have missed this.

"Original Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory isn't working on a sequel to Heavenly sword, but that doesn't stop Sony farming out the IP to another studio"

Bordel_19005826d ago

Me too, I'd really like it if Heavenly Sword 2 was in production even if it wasn't from the Ninjas. I loved the first one, and a sequal has a lot of potential to be awesome.

marinelife95826d ago

That game was awesome. Some of the best voice acting I've ever witnessed. Rivals Uncharted in that area.

kinggeoff5826d ago

HS did not get anywhere NEAR the amount of credit that it deserved!

There was so much emotion in the characters. GREAT design. Animation was a little flaky at parts, but it hardly detracted from the overall experience of the game. And the closeups were just INCREDIBLE. The combat mechanics were deeper than yuo'd expect.

Pleeease let tehre be a sequel

mistertwoturbo5826d ago

Heavenly Sword was great. It's just too short for that kind of story, and almost zero replay value. It's one of those games you'll play once. Then maybe in a year just play it once more.

One more thing is that they should really just make the combat more like God of War. Sure it's a rip-off, but ripping off God of War correctly would just be awesome.

INehalemEXI5826d ago

I would have liked multiple unlockable costumes for Nariko.

clintos595826d ago

So I wouldnt count out not seeing a sequal since the first did sell a million copies. I totally agree with alot of u that it would be great to see a sequal. The first was great and a sequal would be even better especially if they add trophies, hell yeah baby bring it on. :)

Tomdc5825d ago

heveanly sword had a rubbish ending though i thourght, great overall though.

ps3 will defnetly dominate this show

Hagaf225826d ago

well thats obvious when they are the only console with a conference during the convention, lol. As for this list, if these 10 things happen this will be the convention to push sonys fan base through the roof.

Palodios5826d ago

Just about anything from Team Ico would probably make my legs go numb.

juuken5826d ago

Damn straight.
Great time to be a PS3 owner. :]

Relcom5826d ago

White Knight Chronicles is what i need personally.

TheHater5826d ago

I want that game more than Final Fantasy :) And I am a final fantasy fanboy.
But we will see more on White Knight at the Tokyo Game Show next month

Vertius5826d ago

"But we will see more on White Knight at the Tokyo Game Show next month"

Not next month. It's on during mid-October this year, I'm afraid. At least this means GC can gave some rather beefy announcements, instead of delaying them for TGS.

Oh, and White Knight Chronicles FTW.

m-s-8-25826d ago

Im salivating for WKC. If Sony were smart, they'd buy Level 5 already. They've proven they're incredible RPG developers (their worst on PS2 was Rogue Galaxy, and that was still a great game), and having an in-house studio would prove a major boon.

juuken5826d ago

YEEEEEEEEES.

More news about it because I wanna get that game so badly.

Mao5825d ago

Though 2008 is looking OKAY here in NA for RPGs, what with Disgaea 3 and Valkyria Chronicles exclusive and Eternal Sonata's improved PS3 debut, in Japan Sony is dead in the water with RPGs and Microsoft just got a huge boost from Tales.

It's time Sony started to get going with WKC. Supposedly, it's due before March 31, 2009 in Japan. I want that game like many others here in NA and the sooner it's out in Japan the sooner it's out here which is obviously all for the better.

I wouldn't be surprised with FFXIII going Multi, Last Remnant timed-exclusive to 360 and Tales success if Sony asked Level 5 to hurry up a little with this sure-fire AAA JRPG.

.....yep it is

why do u disagree ?
we ve been told -no GoW3
- no Mag
- no "SotC2" ...tgs anyone?
- no HS ...NT is working on something multi and sony
owns HS
@kalistyles
wanna call me a fanboy ?...prove me wrong.

DavidMacDougall5826d ago (Edited 5826d ago )

I wana here about stuff i aint heard of yet not stuff i already know (M.A.G , GOW ,etc )

Thats why i dissagree

Plus there need time to work ,what you want for them to show you the same stuff?? Then you would be back he complaining!

"Iv already seen this i want something new "

Hagaf225826d ago

links to prove any of your theories? who says no game play? thats the usual order of things, announce a game, show the game, beta the game, release the game, enjoy the game. gow3 will definitely be there, with a release of march they have some type of footage, mag may not have game play but will have at least more info, hs was a huge success aside from the fact that it was a short game, so hs2 is bound why not announce it/show it and help dominate the show- and who says nt cant work on multiple titles?!?! i mean its not the size of ea but its got a good team that can handle more than one task.

Deviant5826d ago

HS......“We (Ninja Theory) never started work on HS2 as we wanted to focus on new multiplatform IP. Sony owns the IP for HS and we have never been privy to what they would do with it, .... http://www.videogaming247.c...

i might update my other points ...later

Shane Kim5826d ago

Im happy if they show some GoW3 gameplay.

juuken5826d ago

Are you serious?!
If Sony has twelve announcements, then they're bound to be good.It's better than no news at all.

Why I Can't Get Enough Of Shadow Of The Colossus

The beauty of the Shadow Of The Colossus lies in the vast world with emptiness. Read more to know how this game stand out from other games.

PRIMORDUS41d ago

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico should be remade in UE5. I know Shadow of the Colossus was in 2018 but I say remake both of them for PS5 and PC.

isarai40d ago

The remake and Blupoints in house engine is more impressive as a whole than anything ive seen from UE5 so far. Id rather they stick to their own engine.

Cacabunga40d ago

SoTC doesn’t need another remake.. last one was awesome

PRIMORDUS40d ago

Fine let it be Bluepoints engine. The whole point I was trying to make was I would love them both to be remade for PC since the PC never had them to begin with (I threw in PS5) and now that Sony is bringing over their games it would be awesome.

FinalFantasyFanatic40d ago

I wouldn't mind a PC port even though I own it on PS4, it really doesn't need a remake though.

DarXyde41d ago

Shadow of the Colossus is kind of a perfect game, at least to me.

Man, this has me nostalgic. I know how I'm spending my Sunday evening.

robtion40d ago

It's really timeless. Put SOTC together with The Last Guardian and ICO and you have one amazing trilogy. I think Fumito Ueda is a genuine auteur.

chicken_in_the_corn41d ago

I tried the remake but couldn't get into it. Time to give it another go.

Elda41d ago

I tried both versions of the game & I can never get past the 4th boss.

Inverno41d ago

Well if anyone else can't get enough of this game you should check out Project Tribute. Basically a fan remake with all the cut colossi for PC.

isarai40d ago

HOLY CRAP!!! why have i mever heard of this?! They even got the worm! Of all the cut ones the worm was the most fascinating to me

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow78d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18277d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie76d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Hereandthere76d ago

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow75d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere76d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow75d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX77d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney75d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno77d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno77d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

76d ago
fsfsxii76d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno76d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
