Hawk269 said:
I thought I heard on G4 that EA has their own press conference tommorow. That may be the reason they were not part of the MS conference.
they had it today i believe. nothing sports related except nba i think. i dunno wasnt paying much attention.
 
To counter the announcement of FFXIII going to 360, Sony are going to announce that they have bought Kojima Productions from Konami.

With the announcement, Hideo Kojima will announce that he is directing an epic RPG along the lines of Final Fantasy. The announcement will accompany a teaser, showing a late 2010 release date. Development began 2007.

Also, it will be announced, that with Shuyo Murata at the helm, Zone of the Enders 3 has been in development since for the same period. Playable at the show. To be released late 2008.

After the completion of ZOE3, Shuyo Murata will helm the development of the next Metal Gear title. No further details revealed.

I didn't figure it out. :lol The collective sum of GAF and MyResistance is way GREATER than anything I could have contributed.

By the way, since a lot of Resistance fans are here, what would you guys like to see in an Official Thread?
official thread for resistance 2? or for the viral stuff?
 
yo... does sony style.com not offer a ps3 extended warranty?

GAF-SPLOSSION!!! Meltdown galore accompanied by MS redeemed threads of Halo 4 is realz!
 
if sony wants to put more emphasis on new 1st party IPs, they better get on the marketing train NOW.....im talking viral marketing for SOCOM/Infamous/Resistance2/LBP and cryptic websites like www.whatisLBP.com or something.........cuz people right now are focusing more on the big name franchises instead of sony 1st party

This. Along with:

White Knight Chronicle featuring unbelievable graphic.
RGG Kenzan announced this year and RGG 3 announced for next year in English territory.
FF versus XIII locked as exclusive (Sony as publisher).
New non-FF RPGs from Square Enix, exclusive for PS3.
Other RPGs from other Japanese companies.
Legend of Dragoon 2
TRICO

Sound impossible? I thought so. X(

Great idea :)




One good item would be if people submit their PSN ID's (as well as a rating of their FPS experience/competence) ... since the game is so clan oriented. It would be great if the OP gets updated with the list.


I'll start.

Raistlin - FPS online n00b

Due to my work schedule, never really got to play online much. I'm hoping/expecting that to change with R2.

... We'll be featuring material to do with the clan. That would be a gigantic list. Let's save that thought for another time. Thanks though. :D

Yeah, you're right ... the list would be insane.


As long as their is eventually a linky to some resource for it, that would be great.

Color me very impressed with inFAMOUS so far. The gameplay looks great. Need to see some better quality footage though.

You see the HD feed on GameTrailers? I'm impressed. That game is super hot right now. I love all the little touches they have in it, and it is so far away from release. Reminds me of the Uncharted days. ;)
 
Well, good night GAF. It's been a good one. Tomorrow will be even better. Can't wait for the incoming awesomeness that will assault are senses over the next dozens of hours. Let the games begin! ... tomorrow. :D

EDIT: Oh, sh!t! It's 2:00 AM?!? My, how I have lost track of time. Well, later today then...

Eww. Don't waste Kojima Productions' talent and resources on an RPG.

Last part of your prediction is ace though.

an RPG with an absolutely crazy story from the mind of Hideo Kojima is just what the genre needs. I say let him do an RPG, and let Murata or whoever else develop MGS5.

how will you feel if square-enix doesnt show up at sony's press conference?? betrayed?? :S


They wouldn't be there unless there's something new to show. FFXIII trailer was already shown today.

Of course there could be a trailer for vsXIII or project rapture. Doubtful

ya hes said before that its been a dream of his to make an rpg, i say we let him do it.

Normal, since they won't show anything. I do not even think they realized the impact this news had on the sony userbase.

Plus, I think they consider enough "compensation" (and it is not) Versus + Jap exclusive of FFXIII.
 
They really need to have some kind of megaton(s) up their sleeves if they are to convince me that I still should get a nerfed PS3 with a small HD and no PS2 backwards comptability. Really having a hard time justifying a purchase at the moment (it's alot of money for someone like me), seeing as this gen has become all about multiplatform and timed-"exclusives", which in that department Microsoft seems to do everything right while Sony is doing everything wrong.
 
BlazingDarkness said:
right now they can go bankrupt for all i care

I felt great sadness in the FF13 announcement, followed by anger, and now I realize what's really important in this world. It's not the console they develop games for, but square enix themselves. Final Fantasy has always been something magical for me and that will never change no matter what console it is on. The people working on the game are still the same.

I agree, but I so hope they show something tomorrow. :(

Sony's 1st party is severely underrated. The only really big franchises they have are Gran Turismo and maybe God of War. And I guess Resistance is up there now as well.

Everything else never seems to build up much of a following, despite their quality. I'm not sure if it's advertising, or the fact that their studios constantly switch to new IPs, or maybe it's because they pump out too many titles in a series too often, causing them to become stale too quickly (Nintendo generally has one Super Mario per generation, and the leap between each is pretty significant. Imagine if Insomniac had gone straight from Ratchet & Clank to Ratchet & Clank Future), but something causes the public to low ball Sony's in-house development teams.

I guess Nintendo's success could be contributed to Nintendo's development cycles. Nintendo's large franchises have brand recognition because they are really, really old, but despite their age they don't really become stale because we get new iterations of each franchise so rarely. Sony's titles, outside of Gran Turismo, aren't like this. And Gran Turismo sells the most of all their titles by far.

Where's SSX, has he been back since the ban?

They took his posting rights, and his ability to see/participate in the mgo online forum thread at the worst possible time. It seemed to be over something so weird (everyone that disagreed with PA). He probably said screw it and went missing from gaf like last time. Maybe this time it will be 3 years.
 
When does the Sony conference start? According to the IGN counter, it starts in TWO minutes.

Surely this cannot be right?

If you will give a time, post it in GMT please, or simply say 'it starts in X number of hours'
