What's interesting was that after last year's TGS bombaconference, Sony at least flooded the net with new media.

TEAM. ICO.

It's been two years. I want to know what's up. I wasn't here because of hype or rumors; I was here because of them. It's time to know.

I love them too but if they're not ready then they're not ready. Awesome doesn't grow on trees.

I don't think people were expecting the DS3 delay. I think the question isn't what they could have done, but rather what they could have avoided doing.

It shouldn't have been officially announced until they could supply the world with it. You don't go, 'Hey, check this out' then put behind your back only to say 'Wait 6 months.'

Well... I guess we wait till the third parties have their say and announce whatever DS and mobile phone garbage they are going to be putting out this year....

At least we got MGS4 and Uncharted right?

I should have waited until next Spring for the PS3. Warhawk was fun for two weeks and Uncharted will be too, but it just would have been a lot better to buy it full featured and at a lower price :(

Yep. Buying a PS3 in July was the stupidest thing I did this year. I'm not playing it anyway, should have waited for Spring. Good 'ol impulsiveness. Eh, at least SSHD gave me two weeks of awesomeness.

Of course not. But I still think a $40 GT5 would have been a massive seller this holiday, and HOME and DS3 would have at least given them some momentum. I wasn't expecting game announcements like that. Obviously no holiday games would be announced. But they actively delayed stuff to next year that some were expecting this year. It's not a doomsday scenario, but it's disappointing.

Won't GT5P fill that void? EDITED: Oh shit yeah...Japan

True it's disapointing but like GTA it's better than it having a buggy mess now hurting it's first impressions which is really important for the long term, Home in particular took a huge leap in it's feature set between GDC and E3.

DS3 has an inexplicable delay between JPN and US/EU for a controller.

So am I correct in thinking that this megaton ended the same way the original one did?

Cmon guys, it's just rumble. It's not that life changing.
if they don't have it out by the time MGS4 comes out Sony will pay

There have been amazingly few new game announcements so far. What's happened other than the KH games?

Wait, so I come home from work to find no new Team Ico game and no White Knight Story? Say it ain't so! Those are some of the biggest reasons I bought a PS3.

Anybody upset over the lack of a price cut, Meijer.com is showing a 20GB in stock for $399.99. Also, my local Sam's Club (Eastgate near Cincinnati OH) has some 20GB units for around $440 with an extra controller, you may want to check your Sam's.

I was hoping for new news on Heavy Rain from Quantic Dream:


heavy-rain-20060510114756453.jpg



Is there any word on this game appearing at TGS at all? It's been about a year and a half since we last seen anything from this game aside from the poster released earlier this year. I would have to say that this is my most anticipated PS3 game.

Think pokemon snap but in Afrika.

Wonder if you can get eaten by Lions and/or hippos.
Click to expand...


Afrika has the potential to kick ass if it is free-roaming like the trailers (sort of) suggest...of course we don't really have much of an inkling still as to how ambitious this project really is (or is not). It LOOKS grand and all, but we still haven't gotten concrete gameplay details. So that being said, if it is like Pokemon Snap, I hope it isn't on rails and you can explore the African plains in the same way you are able to explore the city in games like Grand Theft Auto...

I would have been happy with a PS3 controller redesign. Given that I only half-got that, I would have wanted an FFVII remake announcement to make up for it.

Yeah. Not a fan of how this TGS has been going so far.

Pokemon Snap was a N64 game in which you traveled through wilderness settings taking pictures of Pokemon. Yep.

I really don't think there is one thing in gaming I care less about than rumble.
Click to expand...

Really? Rumble is pretty cool if used correctly. And if you pick up a current PS3 controller it just feels lifeless compared to others. I really don't see how you can complain about them finally putting rumble in. I can see people complaining about how long it's taken Sony to do it though. Oh, and last gen technology etc.

when is my burrito
1Up's MGS4 preview says that the DS3 is using more precise rumble tech like they can tell where they explosions are coming from by where the controller vibrates.

New rumble-tech CONFIRMED. Almost every game I own is getting an update too.

Definitely importing. Woot!

Just checked the conference live blog. :-( What a total non-event. It's not like I was expecting FFVII remake or anything but I thought they'd have some kind of exclusive announcement to help stave off the impending Halo 3 juggernaut.
