Back to PS3 - Google on PS3! Lol.

Getting to DC Universe. This should be interesting.

Edit: Should not have shown it, horrible animation and half the things didn't animate at all.

Now we're watching clips of different devs saying how great it is to program for PS3. They are hurting for content in this presentation. The highlight was some charts.

The isometric screenshots are still up, I wouldn't be too concerned. This isn't like their other games where it was being developed for the console and just ported to the PC, it is the other way around for this one. I think that will make a difference.
Riiiight. Just like Oblivion. Because that's exactly what Bethesda said.

But that was Bethesda! Bioware wouldn't lie to me!  0.0 DPS

BTW what's the source for the 360 thing? I can't find it myself.

Ugh... 80GB with the same functionality of the 40GB for $400 in September.  Way to make everything more confusing.  Now we'll have BC and non-BC 80GB's it seems.

I don't get why both Sony and MS think selling a half-dozen SKUs is a wise idea. I need a fucking spreadsheet to figure out which one to buy.

What I don't understand is if they are pushing PS2 at the low end.. they are totally going to confuse anyone trying to purchase/upgrade to a PS3.

Anyhow it just seems like the 40's are getting the 80gb hdd and a higher end sku will be around to replace the 80gb with BC, it's probably at the point where its more costly to source/build with the 40gb hdd.

I saw it as "No more PS2 backwards compatibility. You want to play PS2 games, go buy a PS2".
Also no FFVII remake. Schild lied, people cried. awesome, for real

The video rental thing is rather awesome. Compared to the netflix one, where two fees are involved.

Goes live tonight as well.

Price points vary too - $15 to purchase, $6 to rent in HD, and $4 to rent in SD.

So they talk up 256 players on the same server and show - a CGI trailer.

That was awful. Absolutely awful. Nintendo did their Nintendo thing, a lot of people aren't going to like it but what they showed at leat matches a certain audience. I can't imagine anyone being pleased with this Sony presentation.

The main PS3 message was imagine how awesome the PS3 will be in another 2 years. Seriously. That's the big takeaway - let your fertile imagination make up for lack of content. The words "imagine" and "future" were used about 30 times.

Here are some clips of developers saying how awesome the PS3 is. Imagine what great games they'll make! The PS3 is more powerful than other systems, imagine the awesome exclusives we'll get! Here are some CGI clips! Enjoy!

Me too, as a long time Planetside fan, could this be a PS2 with a new skin, and no client side detection?

Please?

EDIT: and keyboard and mouse control please thanks.

That's pretty much been the PS3 message since E3 '05.

I like how Nintendo is the new Apple where they announce adding features or products that've been around for years and somehow talking like they're the ones who came up with it and how it's so innovative. Oh, and retarded, tasteless people eat it all up too.

I mean holy shit folks, voice chat!

Matter of opinion, and the tech isn't new or original or worth giving a fuck about. I'm apparently never going to remove Smash from my Wii. At least I removed Smash for RE4 with my cube.

I'm half tempted to sell my Wii and buy a 360. Even broke it'd be a better investment at this point.

Hopefully some unknown Eastern Bloc dev will come out of obscurity and give us another BG2-style rpg some day.

The updated Witcher is scheduled for the fall.

I think he's referring more to the group dynamic and how character development stems from who you pick and their alignments.

OK, seriously, Fat Princess looks hilarious. Third person fantasy CTF with cel-shaded cuteness combined with OTT blood splatter, with the 'flag' replaced by the eponymous obese royalty.

CAN WE GET A REMAKE OF FF6 SOMETIME THIS DECADE?  (hint: no one cares about gameboy advance)

I'd even settle for 7 since both times I tried to play the game, halfway through Disc 2 I got some weird error where I could not progress, and my save point was right before the point where I couldn't proceed.

The minute an exclusive game starts getting developed for the PS3, they whip up a CG trailer and display it at E3 or GDC anywhere between 2-4 years before it's actually ready to ship.  For awhile it was enough to get people hyped up but when many of those games have so far failed to materialize years later, that trick loses it's effectiveness and now they seemingly blown through every surprise they had up their sleeve.  God of War 3?  MAG?  Are we supposed to expect these any time before Q4 2010?
