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."

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

joemutt6582d ago

"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.

he maybe boring but his father to the playstation..the take over is coming sept!
1-controller rumble`s now

THELANDSOFSAND6581d ago

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

andy capps6581d ago

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_bebop6581d ago

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.

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro242h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro242h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 5h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 5h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 4h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
