PS2/PS3 E3 Game Announcement Thread

Uh, I don't plan on editting the OP (if you want a full list, just go to Gamespot or IGN), but we needed one.

So here it is.

oh man, Press conference starts next door in 40 mins. I wish I found a way to RVSP ahead of time =(. I hear they're showing MGS4 there too ;)

You're only supposed to start it if you plan on updating it.. therefore.. you better update!

There, now that THAT's out of the way.

Radiata stories

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/radiatastories/index.html

The developer behind Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean teams up with Square Enix to produce this new fantasy role-playing game.


----------

Fake Edit: Haha Scorch, no way man. I think people are competant enough to find mass-update-lists on their own. These threads are just to post the late-breaking-announcements, and any new updates. I was just sick of everybody waiting around, wanting somebody else to do it because they didn't want to update it.

It's like the trashbin that everybody keeps stacking stuff on, because they don't want to take it out. Well, kind of like that, but not really.

These screens of Code Age Commanders look really interesting too.

E3: Sony Gave Me Cancer
Home Entertainment filed under Home Entertainment : Playstation

So despite the fact that I can provide all the press credentials they need, Sony has cockblocked me from the PS3 press conference. I’ve done everything I know how to do, but they’ve left me out to roast in the overcast oven of the Sony Pictures Culver City production lot.

At this point, I have two options: wait for a few hours while Brian writes about fucking finger-sized hot dogs and hope that my RSVP at the Xbox event isn’t boned; book a ticket back to the New York and kill everyone who I’ve ever loved (currently in the front running); take the video camera and bum rush the line, yelling insults about SCEA and the asshole PR firm flunkies who have the gall to let reporters from print magazines but not an internet superstar. The third option would be the most entertaining for you (I hear the LAPD make for great video), but since we don’t have a way to host video, it’s probably all a waste.

I want to go home.

[punqsux]

since no one is updating these, dont link to these threads if someone makes an individual post. because these threads will still be a clusterfuck. (this rule does not apply to the xbox thread)

You can always buy the over-priced DVDs from Gamespot (and others) a month or so after the fact. It'll almost be like you were there but didn't have to stand in line. :D

[Zoglog]

wtf they sell dvds of the press conference? if you're talking about E3 Expo i'm still goin to that so it's still only a minor loss.

[MaxBiaggi2]

wtf they sell dvds of the press conference? if you're talking about E3 Expo i'm still goin to that so it's still only a minor loss.

I bought a set of the E3 2004 DVDs from Gamestop earlier this year for $5 new (4 DVDs). I forget what company made them, but they included the three pre-E3 press conferences plus a load of trailers, interviews, etc. Buying them new right after this year's E3 will probably run you $20 or more though.

[Ugamer_X]

The presentation started with a little game history. “PlayStation 2 defined digital enterainment…. PlayStation Portable, the next revolution!” The chest thumping was accompanied by thumping speakers.
First up: Kaz Hirai. “Are you guys excited about E3?” The audience barely cheered, so he had to try again. C’mon, show us the goods, then we’ll be excited… maybe.

He does the numbers: 190 million units of hardware, 2 billion units of software. He does the backwards compatibility thing. These are the Sony strengths, so he reminds the audience that these are the goods that Microsoft can’t match.

Queue pointless interlude of flashy CGI graphics (not sure what that was for).

Ken Kutaragi introduced, and he proceeds to give the audience another lesson on the history of the PlayStation consoles. From “Real-time 3D-CG” to “Emotion Engine.” He confirms backwards compatibility of the PlayStation 3, eliciting the first audience applause since he took the stage.

Cut to a video of an IBM dude woodenly reading from a teleprompter (his eyes dart quickly left-to-right) about the cell processor system. “Even though at times it seemed like an impossible journey, the entire team overcame impossible challenges to meet the goals…. We are very excited to look forward to see all the entertainment this chip will help create.”

Highly technical performance overview given, including the following slides:

Do we have official pics yet?

[Zoglog]

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz, a detachable 2.5 inch HDD slot, six usb 2.0 ports, Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, a compact flash memory slot, Compact flash slot, 2 hdmi outputs, 1 av multi out, 1 SPDIF optical output, and 1-gigabit Ethernet built in port

I'm suprised that they'd use non propreitary memory formats, that's pretty cool ;). no DVI ports eh? I guess that's ok since I can get those from HDMI.

[Jrunt20x]

What's been confirmed so far: Re-writeable UMDs for $25, Kojima is writing the script for MGS4, the next GTA will be an exclusive launch title and finally the wireless controllers for the PS3 will be charged by resting them on the system itself.

[munch]

Do we have official pics yet?

that's what i want to see. i wonder if they are going white.

[evilmax17]

I'm pressing F5 all over the goddamn place!

[brodiemash]

Gawdamn! Gawdamn! My asshole is ready to explode with excitement!

[Monsta Mack]

So are the PS3 specs substantially better then the XBox 2 specs?
Also re-writable UMDS, does that mean we can finally burn movies to our PSP outside of putting them in the memory stick duo?

[Ugamer_X]

that's what i want to see. i wonder if they are going white.
I don't know if we are going to see pics today.

[Jrunt20x]

I don't know if we are going to see pics today.

I would be surprised, I'm think sony is saving pics till after MS' press conference.

Now When The Hell Do We Get To Watch The Press Conference

[Ugamer_X]

Gamespot keeps changing their info....

Here's another update.

[UPDATE 4] Sony confirms the name and release window of its next-generation console in Los Angeles, will use Blu-ray disc format.

LOS ANGELES--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce their next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it now is officially called.

The name was not unexpected, since Sony had been running an extensive teaser-ad (http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/14/news_6124579.html) campaign prepping the public for the PlayStation 3. The company had laid a blanket of posters around the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Bus stalls and billboards around the convention center proclaimed "Prepare for Chang3" in the distinctive PlayStation font with partial shots of the Dual Shock controller's square-circle-triangle-X buttons.

Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CDR+W, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. It also confirmed the machine would be backward-compatible all the way to the original PlayStation. It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for detachable 2.5 inch HDD somewhat similar the Xbox 360's.

Out of the box, the PS3 will have the capability to support seven Bluetooth controllers. It will also have six USB slots for peripherals--four up front and two in the back.

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, and have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz.

Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. It also has over 300 million transistors lager than any processor available commercially today. It was manufactured using the 90nm process with 8 layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 ultras, which would cost rough $1000 if bought today.

The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video. Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "Super computer for computer entertainment."

[Zoglog]

they're prob waiting till near the end to show the actual unit.

LoL they took out HDMI, that sounded a little strange.

[Ozzkev55]

7...who the fuck thought up seven...try splitting my screen into sevenths. I hate uneven numbers as it is damnit

Of all companies that would do this, it's definately Sony.

lol, unfortunately there has never been a truer statement, but I'm getting very excited for PS3, even with such little information I have a feeling it's gonna blow Xbox 360 outta the water.

Wow. I really hope they actually show the thing. Want to know what it looks like.

[CouRageouS]

Maybe the support of 7 controllers simultaneously could be for games that use different/extra controllers.Like a game where you would use the analog of the Dual Shock 3 to move and do your shooting with a GunCon3 or something to that effect.

Theres also games that don't need split screens like wrestling, sports, etc. Come on Capcom, bring on 7 player Powerstone!

[Zoglog]

all goes down to the games =p. Xbox is putting up a pretty decent effort getting devs onboard.

[munch]

Their controller design will always keep me away from PSs.

Because a lot of us do and it doesn't hurt non-HD consumers to include the feature. Also, since HD is slated to become standard in 2006 (I know, it will probably be pushed back again), it just makes sense.

I don't have an HD tv either, but Wal-Mart had a HDTV 27 inchflat RCA for around $300-$400 (I think it was $400) when I was in the store yesterday, do you still need a HD box for HD signal from the PS3 and X2? If you don't and HDTV is down to $300 I can see more people useing the features in the future

Either way, right now, HDTV is still expensive, but by the time the PS3 is out I'm sure it will be even cheaper.

[sandwiches99]

Why does the PlayStation 3 logo use the Spiderman movie font? Fake.

To Southberm - Xbox 360 and PS3 are next generation systems. HD doesn't mean much now, but it will carry much more weight in the next 5 years. Think ahead.

It's called preparing for the future. When HD sets become more prevalent in homes, it'd be nice if the games didn't look like crap when you played them because they didn't have HD resolutions.

You don't need an HD set top box to make use of a game system that is outputting an HD signal. You just need an HD-ready set with the appropriate inputs (component, HDMI, DVI, etc).

I hear you man but if their is ever going to be a reason to convince you it should definitely be NEXTGEN Consoles.

I dont presently have a HDTV set but im sure by the time the PS3 is ready to launch one should be mounted on my wall right next to my METAL GEAR SOLID 4 poster. ;)

Its going to be interesting fitting this in with the rest of the A/V equipment. I suppose the days of stacking components (against equipment makers wishes...) is over.

Regardless... its a very very sleek design... almost automobile like.

It's a "sharper" design than the 360... thats for sure. It looks like it might be akward looking in real like though. Like you arent looking at the same product from different views.

I dont think that this is the final design. Wheres is the air going to come out of? A machine with that kinda of power is going to get hot pretty quick. Also, where are the slots for the memory cards and the other 4 usb ports? And didnt they said that you could charge the battiers on the top of the system?

It looks like there is a hideaway door next to the blu-ray slot. Maybe everything else is stored there? Also... this is seemingly a CG render of the thing... I'm not sure there ARE vents on it at this point.

Spider-Man 3.

"Sony claims that the PS3 is so powerful it can run the computer generated Spider-Man from the movie in real-time, which may or may not be the actual character from the next game"

:shock:

Damn pumbaa. :bomb:

[Ugamer_X]

To show off the PlayStation 3's graphical brawn, Sony showed several game demos, including an Unreal 3 tech demo of an Unreal Tournament 2007-esque shooter. In what must come as a relief to developers, Epic Games' Tim Sweeney was on hand to vouch for the PS3, saying it was "easy to program for" and that Epic had received its first PS3 hardware two months ago. He proved the tech demo was real time by showing it again and manipulating the camera and zooming in.

I can't wait to watch this conference.

You know, I think the design is going to grow on me, so long as the black one is available at launch.

[evilmax17]

Oh my god. That...looks...aweful. It's like, a reverse Xbox Duke. There's no WAY that'll last the whole lifespan. Oh my god. HORRIBLE.

[pumbaa]

now that has to be bogus


who melted a ps2 controller and painted it silver for their college art class?

[CaseyRyback]

that controller may be ugly, but it looks damn comfy

though not moving the analog stick over is really shitty

[Jrunt20x]

That controller is so ugly even an N64 controll would go "Damn, you's a ugly bitch!"

[Zoglog]

roflmangoo that's a halrious controller. I just busted out laughing at work haha. If that's real i'm like so over the top now ;).

But yeah I'm suprised Xbox 360 Beat Sony in the Design factor in this match. When the Xbox 360 was revealed It was a ok design, not bad but not superbly good either. The Ps3 in my opinion is more leaning towards bad =/

However Sweeney's words were only the beginning. Later, Sony trotted out a whole host of publishers who are backing the PlayStation 3--and in the process confirmed several games for the console. Hideo Kojima introduced Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Capcom showed off Devil May Cry 4, Namco unveiled Tekken 6, Polyphony Digital trotted out Gran Turismo 5, SCEE showed off a brutal demo of the next Killzone.

Are you going to look at the controller or are you going to use it? If you're going to use it, who gives an s if it's ugly but it's the most comfortable thing ever?

Everything has been good so far outside of that prototype for the controller...If I made the decisions at Sony, that picture would have never seen the light of day.

[Ozzkev55]

i noticed the spiderman font, maybe it has something to do with their spiderman fascination

EDIT: There i go again

[pumbaa]

Seriously, what's with the Spider-Man font?

Thats an excellent question. I kind liked the PS2 logo myself... but if you think about it... the first PS logo established the "brand" logo. I would assume that the rest of the logos would be different for different systems. I think this looks a little to familar though.

[jam3582]

Oh No U Did Not Just Say Warhawk Holy Mothaaaaaaaa

[Zoglog]

Remember guys, Sony Claimed that PS2 Could Render Scenes from Toy Story or FF8 Ballroom scene in real time, but when it came out well... u know what happened.

Of course I am optimistic they are not just spitting off steam now, but u know just don't forget ;)

[Admiral Ackbar]

WOW. Games will be playable in 1080P. Take that Microsoft and your puny 720P.

Also, it's nice that they have USB ports. Hopefully that means it'll be compatible out of the box with a ton of PC components.

[pumbaa]

This much information has some far reaching implications... sure WE haven't seen any footage... btu I'm sure footage will be shown. I wasn't expecting this much information about the PS3 from Sony. No doubt about it... the Revolution MUST be televised. If Ninty wasn't planning on releasnig much about the Revolution tomorrow... I hope they are scrambling to get something together... I want to know exactly what my fave gaming company is going to do to be relevant in the face of this information. Nintendo has won E3's of the past... it seems Sony has made it pretty damn hard thus far. We shall see.

[gsr]

has there been any mention of whether there's going to be a component output, at full resolution?

cuz if this thing only does HDMI/DVI, count me out..

[epobirs]

Seriously, what's with the Spider-Man font?

Why not? It draws upon previous success for Sony. You can bet the first two Spider-man movies will be prominently featured when Blu-ray product starts hitting the stores.

A lot of analysts were so sure it would be multiple Cells but Sony has chosen a more conventional direction of having a monster GPU just like everything else in recent years.

A lot of early titles may ignore a lot of the Cell and just be written as a PPC game driving the GPU. In much the same way a lot of early Xbox 360 games will only use one core to avoid the thread management learning curve until later. They'll still look good on both machines but later games will be far, far better as developers get the hang of the new requirements.

[Ugamer_X]

has there been any mention of whether there's going to be a component output, at full resolution?

There will be an AV multi-out, so you can probably count on having component video cables.

[Purkeynator]

Did anybody else notice how they have 3 different colors? White like the PSone, black like the PS2, and an all new silver one they are pimping now for the PS3. Kinda neat since it also plays all three games.

[lionheart4life]

Sounds incredible so far. No more Multitaps finally, and could the hard drive mean the end of memory cards as well (for real this time)!

The only downside I see to the PS3 so far here could be the price. I know the technology will all become cheaper by the time its released, but will it even be affordable by next year?

EDIT: Glad I wasn't the only one who immediately noticed the Spiderman font on the PS3.

well, i just read through this thread and:

pros:
Backwards compatability all the way to the ps1.
7 wireless channels for controllers
USB ports (this is big imo, but ive wanted this for years.)
Strong launch lineup (as long as everything is on schedule, i wouldnt count on it.)

cons:
Funny shaped console (i like things stackable)
New controller (might be great, but im a firm believer of if it aint broke, dont fix it, time will tell)

[gsr]

SHAQ FU!!

this thing is going to be incredible.

[lionheart4life]

The controller pic is real.

Yeah, I had seen it earlier today and the consensus was that it was a fake, but now thats its on their company website its gotta be legit, even if its subject to change. Who knows, it could be great to actually use for all I know, I just think it looks like a cheap 3rd party PS2 controller.

[Purkeynator]

Anybody have a guess on what the "home" 1 and 2 connections are for? Why do there appear to be 3 network ports? And does the system suck in discs like a car stereo or does it have a tray? What do you guys think?

[zewone]

The system and contoller are ugly as hell, but I might have to pick a PS3 up when MGS4 is released, it being an exclusive and all.

[RelentlessRolento]

wow... just wow... now i am so glad I am not getting a Xbox 360... everything someopne could want on a launch: GTA4, MGS4, Tekken 6 (the game I look forward to the most!!!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO!) and the next chapter in killzonone.

I do say those killzone pics rock!

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614705p1.html

The first thing my editor-in-chief Jeremy Dunham said when Electronic Arts' super producer Kudo showed Fight Night Round 3 on PS3 was, "It looks fugging awesome." Of course, he didn't actually say fugging, but you get the idea.

The game, according to our boys, looks absolutely amazing. "Totally real," in fact.

Dunham described a couple of fighters going at it, but didn't elaborate on who they were. He did describe facial rendering technology that allowed for physics on skin and bones that could actually break.
Nice. :D

[shadow711711]

dude, the PS3 spiderman font looks terrible. There are sooo many different cool looking fonts that could have been used, but they go with a stupid movie font. Wow.

Btw, I am just bitching here, I am not some loser nerd who gets pissed about stupid things like this

[swetooth9]

the ps3's look too round for their own good...but if it runs awesome like it should, no complaints here :D

that definitely should not be the design for the controller...i also wanna see sony mix it up with the controller...maybe triggers this time :) it would make it a lot better for the ps3 shooting games :)

[Zoglog]

nice caps. Remember that not all games will be in 1080p. they just said it's supported up to 1080p.

Why is everyone so excited about USB ports? The PS2 had them, and you all know those did so much more than be headset and keyboard ports. :roll:

[ukhoops]

1st
They didnt say anything about those games being offical launch games. They just said they would be available on the system
2nd
What kind of crack are they smoking with that boomerang looking thing they call a controller. That thing looks like shit. It looks like you will be playing Tekken 6 and milking a cow at the same time.

[RelentlessRolento]

oh and for people that dont like the controller remember two things:

1. the PSP can be used as a controller since it uses wifi

2. there's always 3rd party stuff.

[gsr]

I think at the bare minimum we'll get 720p from the cheapass developers and lazy ones..but first and second party titles, i would bank on 1080p.

again

SHAQ FU!

[ukhoops]

Where did it say the PSP would act as a controller? If it said that, I missed it.

[zewone]

The PSP can be used as a controller if its programmed into the game by the devolpers.

[David85]

It looks better than the PS2, but still looks like shit.

Not that looks matter, features and controllers do.

And the PSP as a control idea is lame. Nintendo already tried and failed.

Not the end of memory cards. There will have to be some means of using the PS1 PS2 cards for backward compatibility to be fully realized. For PS3 games the big difference is having open standards for memory. Hopefully you'll be able to use any of the three slots (MS Duo, CF, SD) for game saves and other data. Since they're indicating the hard drive is optional that will be important since big cheap cards will be needed for a lot of the features to be portable between machines.

If only they'd let us have an SD slot on the PSP.

[pumbaa]

I can't see how that controller will have the R1/2 and L1/2 buttons. It definitely needs to be reworked. Though if its not, I want to know if you can use the old controllers. I'll stock up on Dual Shock 2s and pass on wireless if those are the controllers, or I'll just get Logitech ones.

[Grave_Addiction]

Bwhahahahahahahaha. The PS3 looks incredibly dumb all the way around.

The system looks like it might roll off a table if you set it down and the controller looks like it could kill someone. This is, in my opinion, the worst looking system of all time. Well, that I've ever seen anyway.

The games look badass, but the system and controller look like jokes.

Also, I highly doubt most people will use the PSP as a controller. Maybe if they are in a pickle and need an extra controller or something, but it just doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.

I know once it comes down to it games are what matters most, but from a look perspective, I think Sony really dropped the ball on this one.

[RelentlessRolento]

I say wait till the actual system comes out before you judge the controller... it may not be so bad... might be worse :(

[evilmax17]

The PS3 is flat on the bottom, so it's just the top that's curved.

Well, aside from a DMC4 render and 3 shots of Killzone, what do you know of the rest? Just the names. Of course it will seem like the same stuff, because that's all that will get people excited, the same names. If they were just dropping names at this point, why would they drop names that mean nothing? It would be disappointing if this was all that we'd see, but the show hasn't even started yet.

well, the games that are annouced are well known stable franchises with very good integrity (and yes, that does include Killzone, in which i am a huge fan of). Most of the Xbox 360 stuff is either fluff or something you would see normally on a PC except 10 times more powerful... the least fluff will be when nintendo announces thier new system...

catagory of most fluff to least:
#1. Xbox
#2. Playstation
#3. Nintendo...

now bitch if you want, but still, all three new sytems will be impressive no matter what. I love them all... but remember, it will all boil down to the software/games...

2006 looks to be a kick ass year!

Yesterday's "Emotion Engine" is tomorrow's "Reality Synthesizer." Console manufacturers like to pomise the moon and the sun, and everything old is new again. However, I'll believe it when I see the finished product on store shelves.

Funny, because the way I count it right now, the majority of the announced titles so far are original games.

I think this would be better than the PS3's controller.

Why is it so big and clumsy looking? Granted, its not Xbox big, but still - not sleek either.

Because the Japanese are small, tiny creatures.

Anyone else instantly think that EA's remarks about games going back up to $60 a pop might be way too close to the truth? Hell, look at Kill Zone 1...great looking game...plays like ass. How many companies can aford to make 1 well produced shit game, let alone a sequel?

[Jack]

Well, Okami is coming to the US.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently it's old news (article is dated 5/13). I only just found out.

[Monsta Mack]

Am I the only one who thinks this thing is goign to be more expensive then the 3d0? This sytstem should be delayed another year just so prices are lower, or I got this feeling im going to have to wait three years after launch to get it for $400.

The graphics do look sick as hell though, and thats coming from a XBox fanboy here.

Ok let me see :

If I start saving $100 a month for the PS3 NOW, I should have enough for it in 2012.

Killzone wasn't shit, but it's wasnt the best. I loved it for all it was yet some people don't seem to like it... in other words probably spoiled with Halo....

yet the $60 prices seem a little more realistic now from looking at the screens... sux to be a CAG :(

Man, Ken Kutaragi fits the asian stereotype so perfectly it's hard not to laugh when he speaks.

Praystation is wery popurar awound the world.

it won't cost more than 299. Sony is always willing to lose money on its systems to have them affordable for everyone. They did this when Sega launched the Saturn for 399, and they fought back by showing people a more advanced piece of hardware for 299. They did it again in 2000 when they sold the system for 300 when DVD players alone were still hovering around 200.

[Darkside Hazuki]

I'm still laughing at the George Foreman reference.
That was fucking hilarious. More please!!! (The Adam West was good too.)

[alongx]

[Michael Bolton]

[FriskyTanuki]

"Bru-Ray has six times bigger capacity than DVD." :lol: I love Ken, he's so japanese in his speak.

[jam3582]

I wonder what Itagaki is gonna rant on hmmm

[FriskyTanuki]

I see Sony's power points are back. :D

[CaseyRyback]

I wonder what Itagaki is gonna rant on hmmm

he is going to rant about how the Xbox 360 is shitty and now he is going to develop for the PS3. He is such a graphics whore that if he did anything different I would be suprised
