dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Who said it was game of the year? And apparently the PS3 boxarts might be changed so that the PS3 logo goes at the top and not the bottom, so there's no crappy plastic stuff at the top. However that was just a rumour from an N4G source so it's probably false.
Aimless Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Edge, Eurogamer, GamePro. Probably some others. It's won a lot of awards. According to the editor of Eurogamer.de Dead Nation is for the PSP. Rumour has it that it's Housemarque's next game, but I'm not sure if that's based in anything other than the fact that it sounds plausible.
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Housemarque's next game is a PSN game (Last two paragraphs). Anyone know what time the Sony thing is on today?
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Too lazy to check but I'm sure it was around tea-time (ie sixish). I lied, I made the effort. Google says "6.30PM GMT+1" Edited August 18, 2009 by Ashley
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That would be nice, given my situation, but I somehow doubt it I actually think the price they ask is rediculous. £145 for a refurb atm is the only 'official' option. They apparently don't do repairs. When my cousin had his Xbox break for the third time (and out of warranty may I add) he had his repaired for free, like the previous 2 happenings. Now I know it's a different case and each has their own associated costs but I know that paying £145 when a machine breaks for a fault that wasn't caused by me - it's happened to many - I know that there's something wrong. Yeah, it would just put my mind at ease a bit since I'm sure my PS3 will break a couple more times since technology, rightfully, hates me. Too lazy to check but I'm sure it was around tea-time (ie sixish). I lied, I made the effort. Google says "6.30PM GMT+1" Sorry, so it would happen 5:30 our time? (A teeny bit lame if so because that's when I finish work.)
Hero-of-Time Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Eurogamer are live blogging the event http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/sony-gamescom-conference-live-report Its a shame I will be at work, would have really liked to have watched it live for all of the annoucements. I guess I will just have to play catch up when I get back in tonight.
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Sorry, so it would happen 5:30 our time? (A teeny bit lame if so because that's when I finish work.) You're supposed to be the smarter of us two, was hoping you'd figure it out But yeah, seems its 5:30.
Aimless Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Persona 3 Portable has been revealed in the latest Famitsu. I went straight to P4 so this is great news for me. Whilst playing that I was always thinking how well suited the game was for the PSP; it isn't about production values or flashy cutscenes, and structurally it's well suited to a handheld.
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 You're supposed to be the smarter of us two, was hoping you'd figure it out But yeah, seems its 5:30. I was hoping I was wrong. I like watching Sony conferences. I also like like my job so I'm not gonna complain to much. ...stoopid Sony timing.
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah, it would just put my mind at ease a bit since I'm sure my PS3 will break a couple more times since technology, rightfully, hates me. Sorry, so it would happen 5:30 our time? (A teeny bit lame if so because that's when I finish work.) Surely we are currently GMT+1 ourselves seeing as we are in BST. Regardless, I'm pretty sure it's 5.30 About the LBP GOTY edition, when does that come out, and how expensive will it be?
Ryan Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 PSN will be down over the conference, but when it comes back up hopefully they have a video of the conference. Hopefully, I can ignore the liveblogs etc and wait for that.
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I suspect the European video store will launch. TBH, anything less than a cure for AIDS, world hunger and the Middle East crisis is just unacceptable.
MATtheHAT Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 PS2 Emulation please Sony. I wanna play Shadow of the Colossus Dammit!
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) PSN down during the conference = firmware 3.0 release? It seems the PS3 Slim is real and my house is safe: http://www.kmart.com Unless someone managed to hack the Kmart website, upload the image, and have it not be removed for several hours.

Deathjam Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I suspect the European video store will launch. TBH, anything less than a cure for AIDS, world hunger and the Middle East crisis is just unacceptable. PS2 Emulation please Sony. I wanna play Shadow of the Colossus Dammit! PSN down during the conference = firmware 3.0 release? Stop...you are at risk of getting me slightly excited and my hopes positively raised.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Stop...you are at risk of getting me slightly excited and my hopes positively raised. Its a gaming conference, I would expect nothing less! In other news Persona 3 portable was announced in Famitsu for the PSP as was Phantasy Star Portable 2.
Ashley Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I suspect the European video store will launch. TBH, anything less than a cure for AIDS, world hunger and the Middle East crisis is just unacceptable. Yeah but what would be left for E3?
MATtheHAT Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Also, one for the Dwarf bloke, Insomniac working on Resistance 3? Source
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Erm... Any chance of a Resistance 3 announcement? Obviously not, but I'd just like game announcements and for them to say that they will do repairs for free. That last bit is at a stretch. Maybe we'll hear more about The Agent, but personally I'm not too excited for it despite lack of info. Edit: OMG a possibility of Res 3 actually making a showing! Mat you shouldn't have! Edit: Oh right not anything special, kinda obvious they'd start working on it sooner or later. Edit: I doubt it's even Resistance, the way they described it doesn't really suit the game. Edit: how long is the conference meant to last? Is this that 3 hour one? I'm expecting the same introduction to the leaked info, "Oh yeah, there's a really big surprise in store for you, it's the PS3 Slim. You guys haven't heard of that right?" Edited August 18, 2009 by dwarf
Daft Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 It's actually just an hour. Yeah but what would be left for E3? World peace and complete tolerance within society. Swiftly followed by an ironic Earth shattering collision from an asteroid.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 My last post before I shoot off for work KMart in the US has the Slim down for preorder at $299 and out 24/08/09 with the following details listed. PS3, SLIM High-Definition Blu-ray player for the best movie experience. Free PLAYSTATION Network membership. 120GB HDD for downloading games, music, videos, and photos. Includes DUAL SHOCK 3 controller. HDMI output for 1080p resolution. Not long to go to see how true all of this is Edit: Sorry Gizmo just seen you posted that earlier, my bad. Enjoy the show fellas.
Gizmo Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 So it's as good as confirmed that the PS3 Slim is on its way, releasing 24th of August (in the USA at least) for $299. Previous leaks have indicated a European launch of September 2nd. Edit: Beaten on the details by HoT! Looks like I'll be joining the ranks of the PS3 owners soon
dwarf Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That is incredible value if true, apart from it looking shit if those images are to be believed.
Pit-Jr Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That is a damn good deal! i may have to get a back up in case my old one kicks it
