I doubt there will be ICO3 at E3, reason being that I believe TeamICO will most probably announce the game at TGS09, or may be we will see a teaser trailer at E3 and a full fledge announcement at E3.
Whats certain at e3 is:
Uncharted 2, MAG, GOW3, GT5, Ratchet & Clank: Crack in Time, Heavy Rain, Quantum Theory, NGS2, WKC US release, Twisted Metal and a few new announcement and other exclusive PSN titles. So far the list is looking very healthy.

Mainman5491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

Kojima productions will probably officially anounce Metal Gear Solid 5, and maybe another multi-platform title.

Also, I really want to know to finally know what ICO is up to, but they might wait till TGS though (hopefully they wont).

Narutone665491d ago

release date of GT5 and I'll be happy.
The release date of Eyepet and my children will be happy.

Lifendz5491d ago

I gave Sony 550 bucks for a console. More than I paid for any console ever. And I've owned a 3DO. I haven't been let down once.

What do I expect? I expect more of the same. Fat Princess, God of War, Ico, and much much more that the other side can't fathom. Look, play your system. If you love what you got than I'm happy for you. But on the real I can't be more happy to have chosen a PS3 over the competition. Sony's E3 always bring the fire. MS may take one time exclusives but they'll never get the games that are published by Sony. And InFamous looks NUTS! Look man, don't be a fanboy, but a gamer. If you have the dough get both. If not, I can't fault you for getting either one over the other. But as a PS3 only owner I gotta say that I haven't been letdown since Heavenly Sword dropped.

Uncharted 2 for the mother F******* win!!!!

Freak of Nature5491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

First off I would want to hear and see something,anything on Team ICO's next game...They mention SOTC in the article,but it's already been mentioned that the game will be more along the lines of a ICO game. My hopes are that we get a act/adb/platformer like ICO,but with the incredible boss battles of SOTC mixed into the act/adv aspect of the game...A short glimpse would be fine with me,I don't want to wait yet another half year for ICO news at TGS...

And almost one year later I am still curious and hoping to see/hear anything on the game the BBC reporter raved about almost a year ago...I saw a game in Pre-viz stage,concepts and some bull-shots behind closed doors last year at E3 of a very promising game,An old artist work partner of mine is working on,and I still wonder if this is the game? It was code named "Spooky castle,an act/adv platfomer,that is off the charts in eye candy and style.Perhaps some news will come out at E3 this time around.

More details and looks into Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clanks next games will be great to see....Perhaps Insomniac's third IP will be shown in some early form?The rumored act/adv RPG platformer?Anything on Kingdom hearts 3?Or is that going to be for TGS?GOW3 release date.Twisted metal unveiling? GT5,Mag.Quantum Theory should have a nice showing....The list is staggering,almost too many to count,nice problem to have if you are a gamer....

Multi-plats like Dark void,CODMF2,Bioshock 2,Assassins creed 2,Brutal legend,Borderlands,Rage,Dead rising 2,to name a few....

If there are so many PS3 games why
does tothegame.com list 585 for
xbox

http://www.tothegame.com/ga...

and are there
only 426 for ps3

http://www.tothegame.com/ga...

and yes that
includes future games for ps3. If
ps3 has so many AAA titles why does
wikipedia list 35

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... _games

for xb0x360 and only 9 for PS3?
That translates into 38% more AAA
titles for the xbox360, even though
it does not have even50% more
machines out there! So shut up.
Numbers don't lie fantoys!

Last time I checked this
site and all it's fantoys said 2007
was the year of PS3 (it was a
blowout in xbox360s favore). Then
last year 2008 was suppose to be
year of the PS3 but it once again a
blowout in favore of xbox360.
What has ICO done lately?

Given the choice between ten crappy plastic coffee stirrers and one silver spoon, I'll take the latter any day.

Tito Jackson5491d ago

But why wasn't peanut butter a factor

Beast_Master5491d ago

Here is how Sony's press event goes down.

First they do the numbers part. then introduce a music store for PSN, give demo of in game tracks, then show some trailers for upcoming PSP games including Jak and Dexter, Ass. Creed, LBP, then they reveil a new model of PSP with flip screen. Then they talk about PSN games, and home updates. Then they move onto PS3 reveal the 40 gig model for 299 and 80 gig with Uncharted bundled for 399, then give demos of Uncharted 2, MAG, DC Universe Online, and God of War 3. Then show trailers for the upcoming fall release window, including God of War, Buzz, Singstar, MAG, White Knight Cron. and all the games we know about. Then Jack goes into new annoucement games for 2010, GT 5 trailer is shown with a surprise release date. Sony Bend reveals Syphon Filter PS3, Kojima comes out with Jack Trenton to reveal new project MGS portable ops 2 for PSP and Zone of Enders sequal. Rockstar and Sony colabrative game is then revealed. Then Jack talks about there efforts to lock down exclusives, and the head of Square joins jack on stage and shows trailer for FF13, then a new vs13 exclusive, then Kingdom Hearts 3 is revealed as exclusive. Then Jack says goodbye and the lights dim and a trailer plays revealing Team ICO game. Confrence ends. MS $hits their pants.

king dong5491d ago

but i would love to here that MAG is coming this year! please let it be so!

Beast_Master5491d ago

Oh forgot to mention Jaffe Project also gets revealed. Also, hear is what I would guess we don't hear about at this E3.
1. No PSP2 reveal, I think they are finally happy with the install base of PSP so they need to push more software for it for the next year.
2. Warhawk 2. It could be there in trailer form, but if you believe the article just 2 months ago, Incognito just got their latest project green-lit so I would say they are a year away from a reveal.
3. Resistance 3. GDC 2010 or Q1 of 2010 it will be revealed.
4. No Sony Japan RPG reveals, accept ICO. This is a western show mostly and Square may have cornered the market for Sony this E3.
5. GG doesn't annouce KZ3.

As for other Game reveals like Big Big, Cambrige, Evolution or Liverpool all could be fair game. Maybe even Ninja Theory or Level 5 could reveal something.

As long I hear something about Kingdom Heart 3 and Twisted Metal I'll be happy, whatever happen to that awesome exclusive that was mention a while back, well I expect that as well. No price cut seems reasonable if they are planning on releasing a lower model. So far I dont see any surprises at E3 from Sony only confirmations of things we know are coming.

Raoh5491d ago

LOL @ less memory

and this blog calls hhg full of crap

Snake Raiser5491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

How did this get approved?
I mean really, they have three posts and one of them is HHG STFU! Who are these guys. it is also short, full of grammatical errors, and tells us nothing really.

Raoh5491d ago

This site is probably run my vgchartz younger cousin

IrishRepublicanArmy5491d ago

and maybe a price cut or new model etc.
also maybe announce 1 or 2 exclusives the xbox for the ps3.

Firstkn1ghT5491d ago

I'm still waiting for my precious Twisted Metal.

Microsoft Xbox 3605491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

Same here. Twisted Metal was my very first PlayStation game. Kinda sad its not even out or revealed on PS3 yet.

labaronx5491d ago

I Completely Agree A PS3 version of Twisted Metal is long over due!!!!

Max Power5491d ago

that the sony PR team gave Eat Sleep Play the thumbs up and will show it at E3.

Firstkn1ghT5491d ago (Edited 5491d ago )

Give me a real next gen Twisted Metal ps3 Bundle and I'll be there day one. One of my favorite genres (I guess you can call it Vehicle/Shooter) and sadly has not been seen yet in the next gen.

kwicksandz5491d ago

Give me Gt5 proper, not this paid demo BS the real deal!!

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing695h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker5h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing695h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos11h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto10h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8810h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies11m ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
