Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
When is this ps3 info embargo going to end?
- Thread starter Doube D
- Start date
I do think they'll say something before the X360 launches. I mean I can't imagine they'd let the launch just pass by without doing a huge blast of media a day or two before to try to sway people off of an X360.
But maybe the system really still isn't far enough along to show much atm.

Don't expect anything before CES jan 5th to 8th.
Personaly Im expecting alot to happen at that show. I think it was Phil Harrison who said that the PS3 would have it's playable debut there a few months back. CEO Stinger is actually showing up and not just Sony PlayStation, but everything Sony. I think it will be big.

"Embargo" now joins "IP" and "SKU" in the GAF misapplied-industry-jargon vocabulary.

Even though i'm sure that's a joke, I don't think they really need a regular control like that when they have Eyetoy. It opens up alot of different possiblities when it comes to controlling your character and other things. So they've got that down. Bring on Eyedentify
I love the mysterious Sony though. Spring 2006 is still the official date, but everybody and their grandmother knows that's not happening. I wonder if they'll try to act like they ever meant to release it then. "We regret to inform you...". CES for some info and possibly footage. E3 2006 for when they come out of their embargo :lol

I hear from reliable sources that there is an NDA on the embargo. It won't be released anytime soon.
umm, wow, I don't know if you people are being serious or not....
but just in case (from answers.com):
Now please let me know where I made a mistake in using the term............
but just in case (from answers.com):
em·bar·go (ĕm-bär'gōpronunciation
n., pl. -goes.
1. A government order prohibiting the movement of merchant ships into or out of its ports.
2. A prohibition by a government on certain or all trade with a foreign nation.
3. A prohibition; a ban: an embargo on criticism.
tr.v., -goed, -go·ing, -goes.
To impose an embargo on.
[Spanish, from embargar, to impede, from Vulgar Latin *imbarricāre, to barricade : Latin in-, in; see en–1 + Vulgar Latin *barricāre, to barricade (from *barrīca, barrel, barrier, from *barra, bar, barrier).]
Now please let me know where I made a mistake in using the term............

it was when you said embargo.
As much as i thought your revolution controller comment was shit you are correct in the use of the term embargo.
Sony do have an embargo on new information - they are not releasing any after all. It seems that some people here have already miss-understood the word to mean "information that has been released to the press but the press are not yet allowed to release" rather than a general ban on the release of information from the company itself.
you gotta expect this kinda thing from pompous games journalists though

Dunno. It's unlikely, but I'm still hoping for a March 16th release date in Japan to go along with FFXII which will have features made with PS3 BC in mind to add AA and stuff
A better looking FFXII would sell more PS3s than any PS3 game they could possibly have at launch

But in the case of game developers (say for the PlayStation) the jargon use is; Sony inhouse developed games would be first party, independent game houses payed by Sony to develop games for the PlayStation would be second party and game companies developing games to tap into the PlayStation market (without monetary support from Sony) would be third party, yes?
I don't think anything about CES is confirmed, except that Stringer will have a presence.
Going by the "official" timetable from the Playstation Meeting, the next major milestone in terms of publicity for PS3 is the February convention/conference (PS3-dedicated, I assume, ala the pre-launch PS2 show in 2000). I'd expect the whole shebang then - playables etc. Really, that's not that far away - just 3 months (I think the idea of it being "next year" makes it seem forever away, hehe).

Alas they crossed prior, with their sad feature mishmash/hodgepodge attempt to slow portable emulation by using unique features. Yet they managed to attain good sells, it just has to be the high psp price, there's no way they can get away with such uglyness against the beauty of the psp.
Because Sony's not banning or prohibiting anyone from releasing info, they ARE the ones not releasing info. The word embargo means some higher governing force preventing the lesser pawns from doing something, not that governing force choosing not to do something themselves.Doube D said:
edit: actually, I'm seeing how you used the word could make sense -- if Sony is preventing other companies from releasing new info on their games, then there is an embargo. But the way I see it, the companies just showed stuff at TGS. They don't want to waste their time preparing more stuff to be released when their biggest concern is just getting the games finished. Releasing new content is a bad idea if the content isn't polished. So it is their choice not to release info, not Sony's. (I have no idea if that's the case though)

They can, and they are. Awesome games >>>>>> 'beauty.'
(note: I'm not saying DS > PSP here, I don't own either but just stressing that good games > graphics + console design)
And for the sake of jebus people should stop talking about rev like they know every thing. Not a SINGLE GAME has been show. Of course if spec/graphics are your only concern then I guess yeah you guys are right - next-gen Zelda will be garbage. :

That event was cancelled a while back. Now they are planning an even bigger event in March or something. So ya we will have to wait till March 2006

oh no, you guys are right. I think they will probably do a stunt or two right before the X360 launch, maybe release some new screens or info etc.

I think they might use CES as a play to announce more about the PS3 and they'll use the February show for the big unveiling of the games. Like Tekken Tekken Tekken!

hehe you are expecting big things from the next tekken eh? We will see how it goes, I am sure it will look nothing like the teaser demo though. Since namco acquired the Unreal 3 engine maybe the next tekken will use it?
