E3 2005: SONY STRIKE BACK! PS3 WILL BE AT E3!

i think ps3 is going to be a very powerful machine.

I was making a prediction on launch based on previous Sony console launch patterns. You know, launch in Japan first (which would be around fiscal 4th quarter to make the investors and analysts happy). To my knowledge Sony has never launched a Console or handheld simultaneously worldwide. The pattern usually goes like this. Japan launch first, then wait a few months for the US launch (This gives Western Developers who usually get the dev kits after the Japanese Developers time to finish up their launch games), and of course, Europe last and most expensive. Sorry Europeans!

Since it was merely an educated guess on my part, I cannot provide you with linkage.

I would cry if Sony unveiled PS3 with MGS4 as a launch title.

Not gonna happen... for the same reason you won't see Gran Turismo as a launch title.
 
sony: :lol @ GAF PD0 thread, looks like we have our work cut out for us. Time to show PS3 with powerpoint crashing so we could do some more MS bashing.
 
I expect plenty of "real next gen" talk.

Cant wait to see what Sony has up it's sleeve :D. Whatever the results, more GAF pandemonium is a certainty.

I think the games will be early and not look that good. The system is still more than a year away.

Keep your expectations low, very low.
 
If it's Omega Boost 2 that Yamauchi is working on I'll lose my lunch watching flying Mechs zig zag across the screen in High Def. :lol

Normally, I'd agree.

However, I do think this next generation is going to be different. It's going to be a much, much bloodier war and it's going to require MONSTER upfront support for both systems.

Holiday 2006 is going to be the single most important holiday season for Sony ever. 2nd generation Xbox360 games will be shown and I honestly expect Halo 3 to be there. And if Sony can't hold onto GTA 4 as a 100% locked exclusive, they're going to need to have some heavy guns there. They can't get by with just your standard multiplatform titles and moderate selling exclusives. They NEED 2-3 MONSTER titles, IMO.

Ridge Racer, Insomniac FPS, Naughty Dogs' new game aren't going to be at that level most likely. That leaves some big shoes to fill and there aren't that many cantidates:

MGS, FF, GT, RE, & GTA. Of course, there's always some surprise franchises each generation, but from a business standpoint you can never assume that a new IP is going to join the upper echelon of games from a sales and consumer acceptance standpoint.

Of course, Holiday 2007 will end up being the "truest" battleground, but I honestly think that both Sony & Microsoft need a big kickstart.

I've wanted a sequel to Omega Boost for so long....
 
Sony doesn't have that much to lose by not showing the PS3 really. The Xbox 360 showing was underwhelming to say the least. I did not see any real killer apps in their arsenal of games (Perfect Dark is their killer app, unless it undergoes a dramatic improvement it won't be up to the task) .

Frankly the games as I expected were not mind blowing in the graphics department especially when compared to a current midline PC. If microsoft doesn't launch at a competitive price they are going to have a hard sell on their hands IMO.
 
I have this strange feeling that Nintendo are actually going to come up with something amazing this E3, just as everyone was losing faith in them. Im probably dreaming though, they will probably make a longer wire to connect your DS to your Rev.

I would die of motion sickness! :( A sequel has been rumored for so long but I don't think we'll ever see it. Maybe it didn't sell that well? Honestly, I think this is due to PD's lack of manpower for their ambitions. They should have like 200-300 people but instead IIRC they only have around 80. If Sony were smart, they should let them start hiring like crazy and buy the block for them (and build them a new building while they're at it).

Well Folder I think there's been discussion on actually how much of it will see... the external case design? Just some trailers? In game stuff? This seems to be leaning towards the PS3 having a more substantial E3 presence than most folks initially thought.
Sony's line has always been it will be properly shown, at least it has as for as I'm concerned. And for the record the Super Incredible Source Close to Sony in this piece is a UK indi retailer - The piece is trash.

Well, everything they've said sofar sounds rosy..I was very "meh" on Revolution a couple of weeks ago, but I'm quite excited to see it now. Nintendo will still have to sell it to me though.

I don't think it did sell that well, but that hasn't stopped other series from getting sequels.
 
A next gen ZOE is the only mech game i'd need

I will buy it regardless of what Nintendo decide to do, but only because I can't resist Nintendo's first party games. I would love to see more third party games on Revolution. If they get good versions of third party games and some top quality exclusives such as RE, I'm sure most people will be sold on it.
 
just one question...how will ANYTHING besides concept hardware and concept software be shown when they don't even have a disc format yet for god sake? :lol

They don't need a disc format to show footage from games in development.
 
The first Onimusha footage was pure CG...Actually I was like WTF when I saw the Onimusha footage back to E32000.

I expect something similar...
 
SolidSnakex said:
I think the 2ch rumor thread was the one that brought doubt about whether the PS3 hardware would be shown or not. According to it the PS3 was behind schedule so the actual hardware wouldn't be at E3.

Just like the pictures of the XBOX360 we have seen. This is an empty shell. Anyone that expects that you will see anything beyond a case design is kidding themselves.
 
I hope they show something really impressive. It's been their talk all these years. "We'll have the very powerful technology! We want to deliver a revolutionary product, not Xbox 1.5" ... so I hope they show it.

Didnt we all expect that already? Remember were talking Sony not Nintendo.

Sony hype up and show video footage of PS3.
Nintendo little talk of momentum and sounds of crickets when it comes to new console.
 
great news, PS3 and Rev will both steal this years show.

Sony will have some awsome PS3 games to show us, will be no place to hide from this beast at E3

Kojimasan will be showing of his new game for the machine

ahhh damn and i will not be able to be there...what a bummer

I don't think he's winking at us, I think he just has one eye permanently stuck shut. Bad case of pinkeye or something.

W00T!

I want to see PS3 and MGS4. As much as i'm hyped for X360 right now, those two things could make me forget all about it. I just hope the graphics shown have a consistent high quality to them.
 
i'll be honest, i expect the PS3 to fucking SLAUGHTER the XBox 360 now.

WTF has happened? MS have fucked up so badly with this, i fail to see where all the good info and stuff was coming from pre-announcement, because unless this is a bate and switch, this is an out and out fucking JOKE.

How do you combat a potential RE5, MGS4, etc? oh that's right! with games that - on the whole - look on par with Xbox games!

WTF WERE THEY THINKING
Even worse.... how come EVERY person i know described PD0 as AMAZING!?
I'm with you guys... I KNOW FUCK ALL! :D

I should have know from last time not to buy in so easily, i'm sure the xbox 360 will have good games, but all the hot air about them learning leasons and all the "info" floating around looks like worthless SHITE at this point in time.... lollers

<partridge> and on that bombshell </partridge>
UP THE REVOLUTION !!! NINTENDO FOR LIFE YO NE! ;)
 
i'll spell it out right now...
if this is all MS have.. they are FUCKED x 1 BILLION.

and if this all they have, they deserve to be fucked hard in EVERY HOLE THEY HAVE OPEN.
THOSE THAT ARE CLOSED SHALL BE OPENED UP BY FORCE OR BY RAZOR BLADES.

they knew the fucking benchmarks they are up against
FUCK IT if they know Sony will show renders - they KNOW what they have to compete against...

so WHAT THE FUCK WAS THIS??!?!?!?

Me and my fucking MOTHER could have knocked up something better than this!

"Okay, so Sony might have RE5, WE9, Wanda 3, MGS4, GT5, GTA4, etc etc... real time or render? one or the other... so... what do we show? I know! LETS SHOW A BUNCH OF SHIT!!!"

THESE FUCKERS HAD YEARS TO GET THIS RIGHT... FUCKING FUCK RIGHT OFF... THE PARTS WERE IN PLACE AND THIS IS FUCKING SHITE.... FUCK FUCK FUCK
