The top 8 things you MUST know about Sony's Gamescom press conference

GamesRadar: Couldn't catch a flight to Cologne? Flat-out leery of Germans? We've got you covered with the crib notes from Sony's 2010 Gamescom press conference, including some fantastic new trailers.

[Anime-Vixen]

♥ Sony had so many surprises! They did a great job! I can't wait for Mass Effect 2 ♥

[SeanRL]

Ok, with the hearts! Really? Nobody likes twilight

I think she's girlgamers alt.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

It's ok she's probably 10 years old. Sony dominated all of Gamescom on day one. Funny how the 360 fanboys went crazy over the garbage that was FFXIII, which by the way is the worst FF ever, while they just lost their best RPG. It's over for Microsoft now. They're going casual with Kinect and throwing in the towel on hardcore gaming. They have NO games coming up.

[VersusEM]

No, the Worst Final Fantasy is VIII, your just saying it's the worst cause
its on 360 and lack of contint. In fact, 50% chance bet probably didn't
play it.

[Foliage]

What the hell... VIII was far from the worst. Stop being an idiot.

13 was close to the worst, no matter what platform it was on. XI was on the 360, getting XIII on the 360 wasn't as big a deal as you'd like it to be.

[Obama]

Am I the only one who enjoyed ff 13? Surely it's not the best ff, but it was fun. In any case Sony won Gamescom and this is just common sense.

MS got Harry Potter though so this may be big news for 360 fans.

[sikbeta]

Guys, why care about the x-crowd now? let them play their "hardcore" games and just Enjoy the Awesomeness of the PS3 line-up, more and more awesome games coming to even care about others...

PS3 Gamers WIN!

[0mega4]

hands down way better than there showing at E3

with an epic holiday season awaiting us all

[AndrewRyan]

If you have not experienced Mass Effect 2 yet... I feel sorry for you. I don't care if your PC is from 1997, get mass effect 2 and play it on low settings.

[East_Coast]

[EXID]

anime-vixen HAS to be a dude who's just effing with us lol

[Chapulin]

they fix the enemy AI in Mass Effect 2.

[theEnemy]

Mass Effect 2 = pumped!

Resistance 3 = hyped!

damn I can't wait till they show more info about R3.

:D

[Redempteur]

i agree there was a lot for everyone

[Pika-pie]

Hee he haha, im a vampire... Look at me, I sparkle.. la de daaaa. Im over 100 years old but still in high school doo de doo.

[avengers1978]

Sony is doing amazing things and it shows there software sales are up and there console sales are up. There are so many great games coming out I might have to file for unemployment just to get enought time to play them.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Need to check out MAG with Move.

[raztad]

MOVE was preordered the minute I learned MAG is supporting it.

[rdgneoz3]

Yah, love how MAG is getting Move support. Curious when they'll be doing the patch, hopefully to coincide with the Move release and not a few months after.

[Omegasyde]

Mag is getting move support? Hot damn.

I just canceled my preorder because of the delay of socom 4... Guess I will "re-pre-order" it.

[Lovable]

TGS will destroy this though. I can't wait for that

[lomion5]

Oh so true.

[sikbeta]

Yep, TLG + FFvs13 + Team ICO Collection is more than Enough...

[Mucudadada]

Sony really brought it at their conference. It was a fantastic day all around for gamers!

[2FootYard]

I hated Mass Effect before but now its the best game ever!

TO the gentleman below me.

Are you bitter that I'm pointing out these guys hypocrisy?

What damage control?

[Lovable]

You still bitter that it will be release for the PS3? Let it go. It's just a game.

@Ghost
Not really. As far as I can remember, many PS3 gamers were bitter that they can't play the game when it was released. However, they did not diss it as being an awful game. Many of them were wishing for it to go to the PS3 for the longest time, so I don't see the hypocrisy here.

You however, is in every article doing damage control as if you lose something extremely precious to you. Like I said, let it go. Move on...

[Foliage]

"I LOVED Mass Effect 2 before, but now it's mediocre and not as good as the first elevator simulator!"

Hypocrisy? Riiiiiight.............

[Omegasyde]

There actually wasn't alot of hate for Mass Effect 2. There was however alot of hate for Final Fantasy 13. I just beat it two days ago, and the ending made no damn sense.

The side quests (mission markers- cieths things) suck, and it is the worst final fantasy after FF12.

I honestly don't know how good Final Fantasy Versus is going to be if its set in the same "universe" as final fantasy 13.

[lomion5]

So far it's been the only Final Fantasy after 12...

....
....
....wait a sec, I get it.

In all seriousness I actually thought 12 was worse. But thats just me. 13 was no gem to be sure.

[Essel]

Did you ever play X-2?

Universe simply means the mythology and themes that surround the game. They may share the universe, but each game of the XIII series has its own independent story, gameplay, music, characters, etc. made by different people. There's no reason to hold something from one game against the other.

[lomion5]

Ima be honest, I try not to think about X-2. It's like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, maybe it'll just go away if I don't think about it.

[sikbeta]

@ghost-mutation

I can do the same:

"I didn't know WTF was Final Fantasy or WTH is an JRPG before but in March I realized that it was coming to my console of choice and was the best game ever!" -> even if the port was garbage...

-___-

[cmrbe]

Did they have one?.

[fedex682]

They had skittles!

[rdgneoz3]

They showed off Reach, Fable III, Dance Central, and let people play with Kinect... Not much else... EA showed off the on rails part of the new Harry Potter game for Kinect, a challenge mode thing.

[Odin777]

It's kinda stupid not getting the first Mass Effect. Why couldn't they bundle it or something?

[MetalGearBear]

Sony's 2010 Gamescom press conference is more awesome than last year.

[Optical_Matrix]

Hopefully more of the same at TGS right? :D Sony killed it today. Absolutely shat on the competition. Already this year they've announced: Motorstorm 3, InFamous 2, Killzone 3, SOCOM 4, Little Big Planet 2, Twisted Metal, Resistance 3 and R&C: All 4 One. That's phenomenal when you think that TGS and VGA's (Uncharted 3 announcement) aren't over. Plus other games that have been announced for PS3 and this year and are confirmed to be coming like Ninokuni, Agent, The Last Guardian, Gran Turismo 5....Sony is a bulldozer atm

[MetalFreakMike]

Sony has a lot of killer games coming out that anyone that does not have a PS3 should really get one. I never thought Sony would have such a killer lineup in the pipeline.

Of course MS has Halo Reach, Gears 3 and Fable 3 coming which I really want to play so it's going to be a great year for me.

My bank is going to complain about me spending my money but it's mine and I be needing my games.

[soljah]

guys here's the real kicker. e3 and gc have been great for sony. BUT september is tgs in japan, sony's home turf
can't wait. more heavy hitters to come. playstation will be closing out the year with a bang

[rdgneoz3]

And TGS will have info from Team Ico (Last Guardian dev's) most likely.

[lomion5]

It would be lying to say I am not excited for info on TLG and Versus 13. I cannot wait for TGS.

[pr0digyZA]

We can only hope. I am on my knees praying for some full 10 minute game-play of the last guardian.

[Ps3isSsTheBeStt]

Iss Theree gOiin To Be a Second day for gamescom?

[timemuffin]

I'm sure posting this article really hurt the collective feelings of everyone over at games radar. They're a sight that loves to wear ps3 hate badges proudly over their hearts. The f***ing playstation editor openly expresses his nasty feelings towards the console at every opportunity. Sony killed Microsoft today. Period. That said it probably won't mean much in terms of US sales but gamers know where the games are.

[remanutd55]

wheres my new Motorstorm gameplay video??/ EVO DID have a live demo on stage today , wheres that footage???

[N2G]

Motorstorm + killzone 3 are looking super awesome (both day 1 purchase).

ps: i'm not a big fan of mass effect 1&2 but if 2 supports MOVE then i "MAY" get it because MOVE has a great potential to make a funless game actually fun to play.

[FalconR289]

I can't wait for the new Ratchet and Clank game looks like super awsome phun thyme.

[The Milkman]

Only thing on that list that was interesting to me was Ratchet and Clank, and KZ3. I'd say Infamous 2 also if it was on there.

[bviperz]

Sweet, sweet news. I already feel poor...

[skip2mylou]

holy shit i didnt know they were releasing 320gb ps3

[Holeran]

4 player co-op for Ratchet and Clank = super fun times. Resistance 3 looks like it could be a smash this time around, looks like they went to the old feeling of despair and forbodeing in it hope that finds its way into the game like Resistance 1. Insomniac might be settin the scene on fire soon. Not to mention all the other killer hits we already know about.

[Droidbro]

Looks like they're taking some bits and pieces from Reach. (jetpack, assassinations, etc.)

[versusALL]

I have to admit, I always wanted Mass Effect, and nows my chance. I just can't wait, it looks AMAZING. Plus R3 is comming out,Killzone 3, Twisted Metal, 3d, Move,etc. And if that was not enough, next month(I think) Were gonna see finally see Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer-HELL YES, AND The Last Guardian. If they annouce Demon Souls 2 I think I might just go insane. I have to say it is a GRAND TIME TO BE A PS3 FAN. We overcame the articles of 2006-2008. This is our time, unless Microsoft drops some kinda bombshell sometime.

[Holeran]

Don't be a fanboy. Ya it has turned around and yes my favorite console is PS3 but I own both because both have some amazing games to be played on them. It's a good time to be a game fanboy.
