The E3 '08 Sony Prediction and Discussion Thread

Seems like it would be very awkward to mention any SE games unless there are megatons to be dropped.

Well Vs. is still exclusive. I really wouldn't mind seeing more of that as well. That said, I wouldn't doubt they'd still show 13 trailer, I mean people seem to forget it's still coming out on PS3 and all :lol

JStevenson, did you know about the FFXIII announcement in advance (maybe heard about it before the conference) or were you just as taken by surprise as everyone else?
Why would he know Japan third party's relations?

Sony is a deep deep trouble man. I don't know how they're going to come back after that FF13 announcement.

Don't overreact. It's a big deal, but nowhere near as big of a deal as everybody is making it out to be.

:lol I won't doubt anything ever again. Although in the QA today they did confirm it was staying exclusive.

I kind of freaked out myself, but honestly gaining a new game is much better than losing an exclusive from the gamer's perspective. It's a new game!

So if they announce a couple new games I'll be happy. If they announce a new Team ICO game I'm going to freak out and lose it.

Yep, as we speak Walmarts and Gamestops across the nation are throwing their ps3s away cause know one wants to buy them anymore.

Fixed

Sony's hardly f'cked, if blu-ray becomes the true successor to DVD then they could not sell a single console from this moment on and the system would be a success heh.
 
I'm actually now looking forward to tomorrows press conference.

I mean, there's no way in hell Sony didn't know about the whole FFXIII fiasco, so they must know they HAVE TO DELIVER to appease the upset/disappointed fans, not to mention to the general opinion which by now thinks MS totally owned E3 by making that announcement...

I wonder if Square-Enix head-honcho makes an appearance tomorrow would he be boooed? It would be most awesome!

You may have to make a Lazerus PS3 avatar with the date July 15, 2008

Do you really think they just found out about FFXIII at the MS conference?

Seriously?

Hearsay so don't take it as fact by any means but if i remember right someone in the FFXIII thread has contacts at Sony and is at E3 and said that when he talked to them they said it was a shock to them.

Not likely, but hey if they do managed to pull something that huge out i'll change it in a heartbeat. It'd take something along the lines that Squeenix was developing a NEW RPG franchise on the PS3 using the White Engine they'd originally planned to use for FFXIII though and i don't see that happening lol.
 
I don't think FFXIII won't come out in Japan. They said they're gonna start the localization and the 360 development at the same time. So, PS3 gets FFXIII in Japan before anyone else, and eventually it'll come out in the US for both PS3 and 360 at the same time, and later in Europe for both PS3 and 360 also at the same time. Probably when it comes out in the US the japanese 360 version will also be launched.


Edit: Hmmm forget, they pretty much confirmed it in the SE conference. And at the end of the trailer it says PS3 only (in japan lulz). Without the lulz. But it's implicit.

I doubt so cause there will be a thousand of Sony employees waiting to get their hands on him first. :lol

Besides,this isn't the previous E3 where the hardcore can get in easily therefore don't expect childish stuff from them.

There are 2 game announcements that can steal this thunder. FFVII and KH3, and i dont' think either will happen. They couldn't even get this game first (outside of Japan) for god's sake, when it's gonna be done before the porting starts.

Someone correct me, but if SE arent going to begin dev on the 360 till after JP release on PS3, could it not be ouyt on ps3 NA/EU first?

I mean the game will be up n running on ps3 and out in JP all you need is localizations, deving it on the 360 takes time and still localizations.

Lastly, was there no mention of simultaneous release for Ps3/360 so couldnt it still be a Ps3 timed exclusive(a la JP)?
 
call me your average fanboi optimist, but I honestly think the ONLY reason Sony let this happen (and yes, I think Sony could have stopped this with large sums of monies) is on account FFVII:R is in the pipeline, and it is NOT gonna be cheap...

i kno, rite? Thing is, I actually think many DO, at least that's the impression I get from a few posts. :lol

Those 2 are the only ones that can fix the damage, but I don't think that they are doing it.

Especially because even if those 2 were announced, we are not seeing a release until 2012

So when did Square Enix become the destroyer of worlds? Wait less than 24 hours and you'll know everything guys, then discuss and speculate on the future of both consoles.

Judging from the past posts and QA, all points to it. But we have wait till Sony's conference for (lol) info.

I don't think they have anything up their sleeve. More like they were preparing the usual routine for their games and was hit with the megaton hammer.

The REAL megaton with any relevance to gaming for any PS3 owner would be the fact that SE revealed that no, they haven't been working on the localizations in an efficient well-planned out manner while working on the game, so A) they're gonna be just as shitty as ever, and B) it's going to take just as long as ever.

At the end of the day, import wins again 3;

I did say it was hearsay.

I tend to believe this has got to catch them by surprise though, only way i'll believe that this didn't come as a surprise to Sony is if they somehow manage to salvage their E3 with some huge announcement tomorrow. And no GoW3 is not a huge announcement, we all know that's coming eventually. It's got to be something totally out in left field like the FFXIII thing was today. If they knew it was coming there's no way i see Sony letting M$ totally steal the (HD gaming part) of the show simply by announcing a multiplat game.

Reading (and only posting once) it's fundamental.
 
Jinfash said:
fans of sony (and regular PS3 owners :P) what could Sony announce that you would consider a MEGATON tomorrow? something on the level or bigger than today's...

before someone answers let's get a FFVII-remake out of the way cuz that's silly to some and a no-brainer to others :D
Releasing games on PSN. Barring that I want to see NEW products. KZ2, LBP, GT are great but it's been a few years now and I am sicking of seeing them and not playing.

Trico, Naughty Dog game, God of War(gameplay) would be big at this point.

haunts said:
Also, wasn't Gran Tursimo the game that historically moved more PS units than any other game out there?
I would think it is world wide. GT3 at retail and as a packin did 14 million or something stupid crazy like that.
 
Mets39 said:
oh you again :p


seriously he is annoying :/


also , i agree with El Diablo avatar.

for now at least. i am really disappointed in this. way to drop the ball.

no wonder why MS went first. they knew they had megaton lol
