Happenstance Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Is there a reason why you arent posting all this stuff in the E3 section?
dwarf Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 If it is Live then that is brilliant, if not it's just 'OK'.
dwarf Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Well I want to see footage of the games and get more PSP info. To me it sounded like it wouldn't be live, I think they would have stated that it was. But you're right, we should congregate in Home. Headsets and shit. Can you make 'calls' to more than one person?
Aimless Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 My understanding is that it isn't live and will go up around 2 hours after the conference ends. Given that in Home videos are downloaded in their entirety before they play, I'm not sure how this is going to work unless they've added in some new streaming tech.
Dan_Dare Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 shit this totally warranted a thread man! totally no reason to put it in the playstation thread or the e3 section.
Ryan Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Just a few seconds ago I said to my mate there should be Wipeout DLC. YAY!
flameboy Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Well I'm about to leave for work...no way I am going to get to watch the press conference...will try and follow a text feed somehow though...Here's hoping Sony come with something to blow Microsoft out of the water.
Daft Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I already posted this on the E3 bboards but I'll just say it here as well, Sony's conference is an epic 2 hours long. http://www.ps3center.net//news/3103/e3-09-sony-e3-conference-will-be-2-hours-long/
dwarf Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I think Sony will do what conferences should be about: Games, games games. Oh and a new console. There won't be anything too spectacular unless they announce that the PSP Go solves world poverty but hopefully the games are good and they won't have to resort to different controllers etc.
Daft Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 The latest update to Home allows video streaming, so that's how they'll be able to show the conference without a massive download. Still shame it isn't live. Maybe next year.
Daft Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I will be there in case but with a laptop. There are going to be give aways. Really? That's pretty cool. Where did you find that out?
flameboy Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Blimey that booth looks like some crazy boutique shop, mental.
dwarf Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 PSPgo will definately get most of the focus. Maybe some PSN stuff. PS3 not so sure. But there is always GC in August for more. GT5 not making a showing is annoying but then again GT5 could get its own full 0show later lol. People not into GT would moan about it going by since GT franchise ever appeared. I expect games like MAG and Heavy Rain on the PS3 side to get a ton of focus because they are fresh. Thats where alot of Sony's PS3 strengths have been. They dont try to make a game that simple as PS's version/killer of game B on another system. MS conference was lacking in that they felt like they were catching up rather than leading with any new ideas. The games shown are the same old sequels. Halo ODST looked surprisingly cookie cutter for example. Natal was interesting but no actual game to show for it unlike Nintendo's e3 back in the day. Dissapointing given they are last at this non standard controller tech stuff. You sound pessimistic and I'm guessing it's because you want to show that you are expecting (even if you're not) Sony's conference to be bad, or even anything from Sony to be bad, just so that it softens the pain if/when it isn't good. Fact is the conference is 2 hours long so there is plenty of time to focus on both PS3 and PSP.
flameboy Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I think they need to do GAMES GAMES GAMES and nothing else...If they spend time focussing on selling the virtues of the playstation brand and their growth etc...I'll be annoyed. Killer LBP content would be awesome and connectivity with the PSP version...I don't really care about the new hardware...I may get PSP Go! at some point but think a DS upgrade is needed more.
Daft Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 You sound pessimistic and I'm guessing it's because you want to show that you are expecting (even if you're not) Sony's conference to be bad, or even anything from Sony to be bad, just so that it softens the pain if/when it isn't good.

dwarf Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 There's so many games coming out on PS3 and PSN it could easily have it's own show so that's probably why it is 2 hours long. Microsoft had quite a few surprises, I don't think Sony's will but there's bound to be great footage and more importantly release dates. It'll be nice to have a few surprises in there, and there will be a couple I think. We know so little about PSP Go, I reckon there's a feature there which hasn't been revealed yet. Who knows but Sony? I think the Nintendo conference will be laughable again. They really need to get rid of that woman, terrible!
Daft Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Sony's conference last year was easily the best presented. They didn't have some tard like Duffy or Uffie, whoever the hell it was, taking the stage or some annoying woman who can't close her big yapping mouth. The LBP thing was excellent and the whole tone of the show was restrained but entertaining. Showmanship? You mean they have to act more like drunken buffoons? No thanks.
flameboy Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Well I was at work now and have missed everything so not got a clue what has occurred at the Sony press conference, so going to find a replay now and sit and watch it all unveil before my eyes like you all did a few hours ago then I'll come back and join the convo!
Cookyman Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Well I was at work now and have missed everything so not got a clue what has occurred at the Sony press conference, so going to find a replay now and sit and watch it all unveil before my eyes like you all did a few hours ago then I'll come back and join the convo! Your in for a real treat Flamey - easily the best conference at E3 (and longest) so many great games.
flameboy Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Sigh can't find anywhere that has a replay of the conference up yet. Gamespot still encoding there is one on justin.tv but its half way through I think... EDIT; I've not been on Playstation Store since last week but like Choze just said it has changed...and sound effects are different, is this the update you meant?!
Gizmo Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Well I was considering buying a PS3 before E3, and though I missed the conference the reaction seems almost universally positive. I predict myself being a PS3 owner by the end of the month.

dwarf Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Oh yeah nice Store appearance. I feel tired at thinking about the possibilities Sony have put on the table with that controller. It's better than both the Wii and Xbox. Nobody was expecting it...
