They could be doing what Atlus are doing with Persona 4, keeping it under wraps then unveiling after TGS so it doesn't get buried.

If that is the case, the game must be hype worthy to get its own unveiling. Maybe.

I admire your optimism. Let's hope!

How bout Ninja Gaiden then? I think it looks awesome. DS can do competent 3D. Obviously not at console/PSP level. I think theres room for both (Though Contra 4 a 2D title, is my most wanted DS title of this year btw,)

Wait, you really want to settle for "competent." That's like, the highest praise? Why don't we go for "awesome", instead of "competent", which is the type of 2D DS can do? Anyway, I don't even think DS 3D is competent... but if I did, Ninja Gaiden is a bad example too since almost all of it is pre-rendered, which requires almost no power at all comparable to rendering the shit in real-time. AND it's uglier, static and makes things feel dead by comparison.

Anyway, I mean you've got so many good looking 2D games... and so many games would work well in 2D. It's disappointing that it's always overlooked on DS for... the ugliest possible 3D.

I put this as a tie with Microsoft's E3 presentation and still better than Nintendo's E3 presentation though neither of those distinctions is a good thing.

But people were talking about DS3 rocking holiday titles this year. DS3 and HOME delays to 08 just feel like an absolute surrender for Holiday 07 in NA. AND GT5 is December IN JAPAN. No mention of a US release. That's pretty bad, all told, for NA.

Man, all I know is, there better be some killer games on the floor or yet to be announced. If not, screw it.

Can't you just get a Japanese controller? I don't see the problem with that unless supply is limited but I doubt it.

So basically, the PS3 is really launching in spring 2008 (HOME, real controller, lower price, some good games) and Sony fans paid $600 to do beta testing.

Sony did call this a keynote and it ended a conference bomba.

Shame it's the last big conference of the year now it's xmas sales time.

To be fair, this is the TOKYO Game Show. The focus was on Japanese gaming.

I need to stop expecting megatons... but come on, not even a little firecracker?

I don't care about looking at animals, thats what the Discovery Channel is for, nor do I want to watch TV on my PSP, thats what a TV is for.

All I want is for Sony and SE to take my money and give me a game that I already dropped 150+ hours of my life on, put it in a Blu Ray case and sell it back to me for $60.

If they want to make money on the damn thing, what could be easier than selling something you already made!!!

IDIOTS!

7:38: "We want to go back to the starting point to see what it is. I think in the broad sense, it IS a game machine, and it IS a blu-ray player, and it IS a supercomputer. But on a fundamental level, it's a game machine, and we want to make sure that we lead in that respect."

Kaz seemed to of changed his outlook from last year.

The HOME delay is understandable. But, holding back the DS3 until Spring 2008 is ridiculous.

Why even show it? As if the $600 pricetag wasn't enough to keep people waiting.

Home and DualShock 3 have very little to do with "winning" the holiday season. Do you think a substantial number of people are going to buy one for those two things? Get real.
If Home isn't ready, it isn't ready. Let them finish the thing instead of releasing a half done piece of software, then have everyone here bitch because they couldn't finish it.

Absolutely, but instead of just focusing on Japan they actually announced things that will have a detrimental impact on NA. They can't just wait until a later conference to make HOME and DS3 available this holiday for GT5P.

It's IDENTICAL to the current one.
Click to expand...

All the humor about the keynote not withstanding, it's irritating as fuck that that they are giving us a controller with an almost identical form factor as the Dual Shock 1 one decade ago. Controller design has come a hell of a long way since then, analog buttons + waggle + wireless + shitty triggers is not as much progress as we should have since then. The SixAxis needs some serious work and they just blew a big chance to reinvent it.

Good one ! :lol
And WTF at this thread ? Seriously, if the last TGS is to go by, games will be unveiled on the floor. At the worst behind closed doors. If your "potential" heart stealer is not to be found, you should blame yourself for swallowing the rumors...

Afrika is looking more and more like Peter Molyneux's B.C. The keep showing footage, no real gameplay, and they've been showing it since before launch.

I don't see why anyone would import a controller from Japan to play a game they could've bought months earlier with rumble on another console they already own.
