Kutaragi To Headline TGS

Ken Kutaragi is going to bring the message home himself at the Tokyo Game Show. Sony Computer Entertainment's president will be heading off the show this year, delivering a keynote address titled "Next Generation Entertainment Made by the PS3."

Joining Kutaragi will be Square Enix president Yoichi Wada. Wada will be addressing the crowd as his alter ego, the chairman of TGS organizer Computer Entertainment Software Association (CESA), and will give a speech titled "The Game Industry's Potential and Problems."

Booed off stage. Ouch!

[Marriot VP]

nah, don't be such a downer. It'd be more like a light applause and upset faces.

[joemutt]

"Potential" Hasn't he said with the PS3 you are paying for potential?!?!

"Problems" Hasn't the PS3 been plagued with problems?!?!

Looks like the title sums it up nicely.

[kingboy]

he maybe boring but his father to the playstation..the take over is coming sept!
1-controller rumble`s now
2-More and More hit tittles and exclusives
3-price cut
watch this..it`s business

[THELANDSOFSAND]

if they cut the price and add rumble i would be impressed. that would actually be a step in the right direction...

[THELANDSOFSAND]

begin the laughter now!

Haha this is one of the few times that I agree with you. I enjoy watching him because he's so funny and seems like he's in his own little world. At the one time I respect him because of what's he's done for the Playstation brand, and because of his vision. The problem is that he's an engineer at heart and his visions are sometimes unrealistic and he tends to speak in the same way. Should be an interesting event, I would bet that he has some more surprises up his sleeve. Adding rumble back in and reducing the price would be welcome. Showing Killzone 2 gameplay, MGS4 gameplay, FF XIII gameplay, etc would all help to correct their image. Basically, they need to write his script, keep out all the crazy stuff, show some great games and prove to people why the console is worth $600, and have him read his speech from a teleprompter.

[the_bebop]

let's all just cross our fingers and pray he doesn't say anything to give the media or the fanboys ammo.

And hopfull they wil cut the price.

[silent ninja]

probably his going to annouce ps3 price for japan and maybe ps3 online system and prices(if any)

[zypher]

hopefully he'll announce a PS3 price-drop by ditching the yet-to-be proven Blu-ray disc drive, and rumble in PS3's controllers by relenting from being an egotistical ego-whore and paying Immersion the money they're due. and hopefully well see Killzone 2, rendered in real-time just like it was pre-rendered at E3 2005. here's to wishful thinking.

[mikeeno7]

Of course there not going to cut the price before they launch PS3. And with Sony's mega financial losses and further losses expected when every PS3 is sold, they will certainly not drop the price for a long while (they will if it doesn't sell- highly unlikely). Katuragi's heading the keynote? I can't wait to be amused yet again! He never fails to make a complete d*ck out of himself!!

[PS3sux360inchWiiWii]

looks like Ken is pointing at a bird bath? with the PS3 up on that platform...

[PS360PCROCKS]

oh god...scary
