Sony shows trailers to old games, announces that HOME is delayed, and that games will have features starting next month that we can't take advantage of until spring.
And we still have good old Tabris holding the fort that a remake will change gaming as we know it.
All in all, the worst conference Sony has had since, well fancy that, their big PS3 blunder.
Looks like most of my predictions were right. (Though I knew I should have added a prediction about Dress)
Still, no indication that DS3 features 'next-gen' rumble? Has anyone asked why that's the case? Unless there are some fundamental technical issues that weren't apparent before, that doesn't make much sense. Launch timing is hardly ideal either. Also disappointing that Heavy Rain was a no-show. TGS would be a strange place to debut it, but after saying they would..

Eh uh....wow, its not like I expected much from this...but after reading all pages, man, this is like cutting things rather than announcing things.
DS3 is coming....in months!...Home is coming...later than expected...
What the hell Sony...its not like I expected FFVII Remake but pretty much underwhelming news all around.
Another TGS without Ape Escape 4 :<

Hmm, let me get this straight, Home, which has been beta'd for ages and looks done, has been delayed until mid next year, this new controller which I was holding out for because mine broke, is basically the same as the old one with a motor inside it, and yet is delayed until mid next year...
And nothing else happened.
Alright... well... it's getting a bit much now I'm afraid. I never use my PS3, I only bought it because I was in HK where it's super cheap. Maybe if I sell now I can still make a profit. The thing is useless if Sony aren't gonna put any fucking effort into making the shit they promise come out in reasonable time frames.

Let's say I got £250 for it, that's a comfortable weekend in Paris. 48 hours more fun than I've had with my PS3
Ok that's unfair, I don't want to troll, Warhawk was fun, but I'm not much of a gamer anyway. I'll give it to Nov, but this TGS majigger bombed big style.
This Ratchet clip is made of awesome: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25117.html
So here's how Dress fits into Home:

I suppose that's the first confirmation of extra-gaming brand involvement in Home. An interesting way to do it too.

Boring that NG2's publishing rights is the biggest ton -_-. I think though we expect too many tons, too often. I suspect Tonnal acceleration will begin only after we settle into this gen. But without something big every few days, can it sustain this culture that consumes tons at this alarming pace?

Thank god I missed the keynote. What a boring pile that would've been to sit through.
Thanks again guys (you know who you are) for telling me to skip it!

It is about 7p.m in Tokio, I don't know when the square conference is, but it seems that not today...
The keynote was a little dull but I never really expected a megaton out of that (certainly not a price drop), I still think that we've got plenty of time for new game announcements.
IIRC, last year White Knight Story (chronicles...whatever) was announced without any sort of ceremony. It literally just appeared one day during TGS without warning.
The one thing I am prepared to write off at the moment however is, Square Enix. And I'm not talking about all that FF VII chatter. They seem to almost be showing a level of contempt for their fans. Releasing old pics (most of which are from a CGI trailer) and then having a closed theatre announcing mobile games is a total joke.I have a feeling that it could be next year's TGS before we actually see any footage of FF XIII.
But in saying that, I think that next week's Famitsu might have some new stuff in it perhaps not even announced at the show itself.
Either way, a slow start, but the show isn't finished yet.

Also GT5: P isn't coming to Japan until Decemeber 13th. We're unlikely to see it here this year unless it worldwide launches.

In other words if you get shot on the left, it will rumble on the left side first. If you get shot in the head, it will rumble at the top of the controller. Totally next-gen stuff.
By the way, its not a good idea to release a new model when the old one is still heavily in stock.

If by worldwide launch you mean everywhere but PAL then yes.

..until you turn around and look at the show itself. With the games on the showfloor, PS3 should have a very good showing at least. There's some reason to be disappointed with the keynote (e.g. home delay, sixaxis timing), but otherwise expectations for the keynote were ridiculous. Back to the show, though, and if PS3 fans have it bad, I'm not sure what'd be the case for fans of other home systems. But I don't think they do
edit - Particle, do you have a link to the DS3 comment? I'd like to read something that indicates SOMETHING about what tech it's using.

It's so strange to see Sony make all these incredible advancements in stuff like online and rumble and storage and all that stuff and still take so startlingly few steps to put the console in a position where those advancements can really bear fruit. It's like spending 10 years of your life making this amazing movie and then showing it on the back of your garage and not telling anyone, figuring people will just show up because it's totally the raddest.
Delaying this stuff to '08 is like writing off '07 completely and I'm not sure they realize the kind of damage that is could do to any kind of momentum. I don't think anyone expected them to announce an incredible new surprise game that was going to save the system, but I think everyone wanted them to at least come out and say "Fuck it, man. We're still in this to win this. Stand the fuck back." But delaying two things that would have, while not moved consoles in droves at least given the console a stronger sense of its advantages, doesn't say that at all. It's just another example of making its current users wait for things that they're excited about and giving potential users another reason to wait.

Anyway I want to see pricing on this new controller, because slow release outside Japan could mean anything from production shortages to clearance strategies to being financially incapable to ship it with systems to god knows what.
