Whoa. I just read up on The Outsider. First time of me hearing about the game. This game sounds AMAZING. Why is the game being kept so quiet? It wasn't even at E3.....
WTF? How credible are the developers of this game? My hype is rising through the roof. Anyone know when we'll get more info!?

It doesnt really look all that OMGSPLURGE.Wax Free Vanilla said:
I imagine that we'll get some more info on some announced and unannounced PSN titles. But I'd be surprised if SCEE didn't have at least one new (as yet unannounced) 2009 title for the PS3 to show off at this event.
Do we know if this event is going to be either a keynote style address of a press conference that's going to be streamed or blogged yet?
Agreed. Didn't they go as far as to call it Singstar 'next gen' or something along those lines?

I think it's suppose to be a surprise announcement, which Reeves kind of leaked. I think it's just going to be SingStar with wireless mics finally, but we'll see. I like SingStar so I'll be interested regardless.Busty said:

I wonder if the online service will get a bit of a revamp. And no doubt they'll have some kind of 'uber' HOME area like Buzz to compliment the game.

I really like My SingStar Online, but I hate how the servers are sometimes terrible (where you can't log in or it's taking forever to load). I wouldn't be surprised if there was some home space.Busty said:
I dunno if I should give ideas, but I could maybe see Karaoke parties going on in Home with SingStar (where people could watch avatars singing). I dunno, just an idea. I do see there being a SingStar Home area.
Actually, Sony Bend hasn't even moved to PS3 yet, and I don't believe SCEE Cambridge will have a game out on PS3 for a while.Johann said:

I'm so excited now that I'm trying to find more info on the game. Does he or his company have a message board?
There's an old-ish Gamasutra Interview with Braben here, focussing mainly on The Outsider. The only worrying element is that he seems to be quite keen on The Darkness. Hmmmm.
Even so, The Outsider sounds quite intriguing. Edge did a huge feature on it a while back. At the time it sounded totally amazing, but it's incredible what a couple of years in the gaming industry can do to a game which once sounded completely fresh. The focus seems to be on breaking new ground in storytelling, which is always good, and I like the idea of a political based narrative especially if it grants the player with a bit of intellgence.
He must know that what everyone really wants is a new version of Elite though...

Where are you getting this info? NEED MOAR

EDIT: Aaah it's the guys who made Elite. Those were pretty good games from what i hear. After that they made Rollercoaster Tycoon... That doesn't sound very promising.

No, that's The Outsider. But you might be right.

IIRC Sony Bend were one of the first SCEA teams to get a PS3 dev kit.
Johann said:
Sony Santa Monica is a huge studio with many different teams and internal operations in it. I believe Dylan Jobe's Warhawk team are based there now.
It wouldn't surprise me if Sony Santa Monica had another team working on a PS3 project concurrently with GOW3. But that's just speculation on my part.

forgive my incredibly dorky excitement for this game, but i think this is the game true gamers have been waiting for since this gen started...
from july's game informer (paraphrased):
set in empire city (spans 3 full islands). its begins with a nice peaceful panoramic skyline, with the words "press start" flashing on the screen. as soon as you press start, an explosion rips thru the entire skyline. at the center of the blast is a crater. at the center of the crater is a man named Dylan (you). you stagger to your feet, crackling with electricity. you now have control of the game. GO!
sucker punch co-founder brian fleming: "we want to get in the headspace of what it would be like to be a real person who has been granted these powers, then let the player take it from there. you gain control of dylan only moments after the explosion, before he is even aware that hes been granted these abilities."
"we're trying to keep whats happening connected to his powers or man-sized. its got to come off of one of those 2 things. before the disaster, dylan was already a climber. if there are ways to combine this with his new electrical powers, its our job to find them"
"we designed his powers to be deeply interactive (with the player and the game's environments) and fun to play, as opposed to being a narrative device. his powers and the storyline are in support of gameplay"
he cant turn his electrical powers off, so he cant use firearms as the ammo would explode in his hands. game director nate fox: "its not all good that youre lord electricity. there are some serious downsides..."
some villains = other superpowered people
infamous isnt structured like most open world games, with mission and side mission markers on a mini map. its an engaging world where events unfold naturally.
fleming: "the citizens, thugs, city...all part of the ecology...its an intersection of scripted events and setups along a systemic universe thats reacting to all of it." for example - youre on way to diffuse a bomb when you see a woman bleeding in the street begging for help. no one will blame you for going straight the bomb, but...what kind of hero will you be? superman and punisher both save the day in two different ways.
dylan's actions are tracked thru a karma system that affects how civilians react to him thru-out the game (unlike another sandbox game, where everything is ok once you escape the red circle). the clincher is that dylan is publically framed for the explosion minutes into the game. so the player must cultivate the desired reputation
if that doesnt sell you, i dont know what else to tell you

I wonder what the people that use to work on 8 Days and The Getaway are doing now.

12 announcements in an hour... that'd be one every 5 minutes? :lol
I do think we'll see a couple of new things, mostly from the European developers as it seems each territory is using local events to showcase their latest games. But 12 announcements? Well, Mr. Reeves must have a reason for quoting that exact number though. :/
Heavy Rain is already good, coupled with LBP, Resistance 2, Killzone 2 and other stuff. Also, please SCEE give us a date for the video store?

Those 12 announcements don't have to all be about new games though. They could be about new features in a game that were unknown before. Isn't LBP still supposed to have a reveal?
