Jak was my favorite series on the ps2 until I discovered the Ico games. I'd love a new Jak on the ps3. But I liked Uncharted so damn much that it wouldn't matter which one I get.AAK said:

Jak aint happening... at least not from Naughty Dog.
And I'm glad, too; Uncharted is such an awesome franchise with tons of potential there.

I really think this has got to happen by Christmas. I think a lot of consumers look at the PS3, the price of games plus console, then at the 360 and the price of games plus console and the PS3 gets expensive in their head if they want to buy good games with the system. Sony has got at least start a platinum line with Resistance, Motorstorm, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Warhawk. Then they need to price the games at $25 to undercut the 360's platinum line. They really need to get the price of those games down, and quick. They can't be selling them that quickly anymore, and the longer they wait, the less demand there will be for those games even at $25-$30.
I'd love to pick up Heavenly Sword for $25, but Sony just doesn't want to sell the damn game to me for some reason.
Is the cost of BluRay's the reason they haven't done this yet, or what?

I agree, I want to hear nothing from them but news on Uncharted 2. However, I would love a Jak sequel from Ready at Dawn, and would pay full price for it.

So is this like an expansion to ToD?Sin said:

You mean Cero-C, Uncharted, like Resistance is rated Cero-C, for some reason, but I think that also had something to do with SCEI and how they wanted to market those games. ='(
If Uncharted and Resistance were Cero-D they would have blood intact, look at RGGK, that's Cero-D and it has lots of blood and sword-related incidents. :lol

Oops, you're right. Yes, I don't understand why Naughty Dog/Sony didn't just Cero-D Uncharted. Does it really make more money by gaining Cero-C? You know what's interesting though? Even Cero-D can't seem to accomodate head decapitation, that's why I chose to buy the US version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

Who else is expecting jRPG GIGATONS from Sony this E3? I'm expecting a shitload of new jRPG announcements, but I'm also prepared for MASSIVE disappointment.

Why E3? Wouldn't it make more sense for Sony to announce JRPGs at TGS instead?

I'll take that. Thank you
But what can they show? Considering the 360 has already nabbed Tales and Star ocean. All is left is third party wise is:
Suikoden
SHin Megami Tensei
Kingdom Hearts (very unlikely)
There are others such as Dark Cloud and maybe Legend of Dragoon(lol I wish) sequels, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

I predict:
-Kaz Hirai will bore people
-That other chubby guy will act nervous and sweat a lot
-Powerpoint presentations
-Sales figures spun to sound fantastic
-Chewbacca will make an encore performance
-Jokes will be made. They won't be funny.
-Maybe some games will be announced? I dunno.

While they have a greater price disadvantage to Microsoft in Europe, I doubt they would announce a price drop for PAL land at an event that takes place in the US.

I predict at the end of the conference (every conference really) that people will be posting 'is that it?'

I like Reggie FilsAime better, but only because he reminds me of Herman Munster.LiquidMetal14 said:
Let's face it. Kaz Hirai, "that chubby dude", Jeff Bell, and Reggie are all pretty effing unentertaining to watch.
edit: Also, I agree with Bearillusion. Especially for the Nintendo one.
DC online trailer, the agency release date, Home public beta starting right now! [/kaz], KZ2 awesome footage, SOCOM, flood of multiplataform trailers.
letdowns:
No FF13 Versus
No team ico
No god of War III

I haven't made any predictions yet other than disappointment but I suppose I'll give it a shot and go on record.
Playable:
Ratchet: Quest for Booty
Resistance 2 single player
Infamous
MotorStorm 2
Video:
White Knight Chronicles
FF XIII
Heavy Rain
Other things (week of E3):
-PSN cards officially and widely released
-Next big firmware features for PS3 and PSP previewed
-PSN being integrated into PSP XMB announced.
-PS2 price drop to $99
-Sony need to have some big announcements for the PSP, either hardware or software related. The lineup is looking anorexic at this point.
-After FFT's and FF7: CC's performance on PSP, I would expect to hear more from Square related to the PSP.
-For the love of God, PS1 games on the PS Store!!!!111!!!1!
-Regularly release two PS1 games, at a MINIMUM, every Monday.
-10 PS1 games come out! RAWR
-Wipeout HD comes out
-Elefunk comes out
-Resistance 2 beta announced
-BioShock PS3 extras and release date announced
-Eternal Sonata PS3 extras and release date announced
-Star Ocean 4 announced for PS3
-New and reinforced release dates for R2 (late September), LBP (October), MotorStorm 2 (November), Ratchet: Quest for Booty (November)
Movie Store detailed/opened:
Subscription for movie service offered as alternative to pay-per-movie.
Movie Store has its own icon on the PSN part of the XMB, so you see "Account management," "Playstation Store" and "Video Store"
Prices are standardized for either a regular movie or an HD movie. No variability in pricing like MS Store.
Movie locked to your hard drive. Sony movies availavle on PSP too.
Improves upon MS's "watch it within so many days, automatically delete" DRM. Not exactly sure how it will be different.
Prices are the same as MS Store or $.01 cheaper due to using $$$ vs. points.
Things coming out that they won't show:
God of War 3
Heavenly Sword 2
Uncharted 2
Jaffe's new Twisted Metal PS3
Making this list was easy and hard at the same time. It's easier to predict the things they aren't going to have.

Which team could possibly have been working on Quest for Booty (if true). Insomniac is busy with R2 ...
Would it be the team that did Size Matters ?

Worry not, E3 this year will likely be smaller again but I suspect, that as usual, the big three press conferences will provide the real fireworks. If I'm perfectly honest then I suspect that the Nintendo E3 conference will disappoint many.
But that's a whole other story.
However I think that both the MS and Sony conferences will have more than enough talking points if no out and out megatons.
Even if the 'Xii-mote' and PS3-mote don't get revealed we know that the LIVE Avatars will almost certainly be announced likely alongside Lips and some other titles.
I would think that Sony will unveil GOW3 the same way they ended their conference with (real time) footage of Killzone2. A short real time teaser that will announce the game's Xmas 2009 release.
Both MS and Sony can't afford not to have stellar shows. It's as simple as that.
