PS3 Attitude liveblogs the Sony keynote speech at E3 2007 to bring all the details of every Sony PS3-related announcement.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
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.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"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.
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?
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.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
After seeing MS's lackluster "all smoke, no fire" presentation last night, and Nintendo's so-so kiddie-break and workout session earlier today, I was a little skeptical (but eager) to see what Sony had to offer.
I think it's needless to say that Sony have indeed brought the goods to the table. Those who've long been demanding games, announcements, exclusives (albeit arguably timed), and ground-breaking in-game razzle-dazzle, have just gotta be quenched after that show.
Personally, what most left me absolutely jaw-dropped were MGS and Killzone 2 (just gotta love that come-from-nowhere headshot intro!)...definitely be re-oogling those two videos in HD goodness later tonight.
Mission accomplished, Sony: I'm officially satisfied and pumped by what's soon to come. Just so much thrown at us to remember...absolutely fabulous.
Any gripes about the presentation? Yes, two:
1. No mentioning of mainstream streaming media such as movies and TV shows (at least from what I can recall.)
2. My damn PSP is still in absolutely perfect condition to justify the purchase of that sweet new model with the video-out I've been long yearning for...but accidents do happen, unfortunately (heh, heh!)
On a somewhat unrelated note:
Yeah, ok, I'll admit it: I seriously want one of those new Wii-Fit Boogie Boards (yeah, so???...you don't KNOW me!...) ;)
(PS: I'm a little surprised that Lair and Heavenly Sword were MIA...now that I think about it in retrospect, it would've been nice to hear a tidbit about an all-grown-up God of War for PS3.)
