[Spiffy_1st]

I want 'The Best is Yet to Come' from MGS to be playing in the background as it's being announced.

I look forward to arguing over gifs of tech demos. I've got "IT'S NOT FINISHED IT'S JUST A TECH DEMO 15FPS ISN'T THAT BAD SONY FOREVER" drafts already typed up.

 

[Parmenides]

If anybody is in doubt...

There is a 100% chance the PS4 will be announced at this conference.

This news literally confirms it.

1200 people will gather to pay their last respects to the legendary PS2

2:34 to 2:40 "Sony is a shit in our mouth" lmao

Song ruined for me, lol hilarious

 

[Vilam]

Glad someone showed a pic of an E3 conference, because they're definitely way larger than 200-400 people.

I figure there will be key people from just about every developer aside from the niche ones there.

I don't see why, unless they're there to announce a game. They all already know what's coming. Conferences like these aren't for devs.

 

[Caelestis]

I wish I knew who'd I'd need to sell my soul to to get into this meeting.

 

[Ingueferroque]

1200 US fellas

lol

 

[Naked Snake]

Hype levels rising.

 

[Soriku]

Press conference begins

The lights go out and a hush comes over the audience

A spot light highlights the dead center of the stage but there is nothing there

Fight of the Valkyries begins playing from everywhere
http://youtu.be/V92OBNsQgxU

At 0:24 a veiled console begins arising on a platform from underneath the stage floor, a new system never before seen

Shortly after another platform holding Kaz Hirai begins rising from underneath the stage floor, just behind the new console. He is standing there looking up, eyes closed with his arms spread as if embracing the love of the crowd.

Flight of the Valkyries continues to boom as he and the console rise 20 feet above the stage floor on a gigantic pillar.

The music subdues.... And in a booming voice like god himself, Hirai says "PLAYSTATION 4" and dramatically whips off the veil, unleashing the new console.

It is beautiful, women are seen crying in the audience

Hirai begins the ceremony from on top of the 20 ft pillar as everybody watches in awe

The audience gets more excited and more ecstatic as each new exclusive is unveiled with incredible visuals.... Uncharted 4, MGS5, Versus XIII, Kingdom Hearts 3, Vagrant Story 2, Shenmue 3 and the Last Guardian.

Eventually the crowd turns into a mosh pit from excitement. Audience, press and developers crowd around the pillar towards the end, touching it and reaching up towards Hirai, as he yells "TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS"

lol lol.

More please. These scenario posts are hilarious.

Haha this is hilarious! I think it helped reading it whilst Flight of the Valkyries was playing.

There's going to be incredible scenes on here tomorrow.

 

[Mandoric]

It's apparently open to everyone who bought a Vita.

 

[pestul]

Wow.. and now of course I'm missing the live webstream of this due to a dinner at my parents house. :S

Oh well, just as fun watching it fresh and HQ later on (ie. no buffering issues). But less fun following the insane live thread reactions.

:lol Reminds me of the threads that /v/ likes to do around E3 every year.

 

[R-User!]

Will there be free popcorn and coca-cola at the event?

Dem masses gotsta snack on somethin while they watch the show.

 

[Arkham]

I wonder what surprise musical guest they will have to close the show?

Not sure about just closing the show, but I'm sure Daft Punk will show up sometime.

Stop with the 'whooping & cheering' at the slightest bullet point, it really does make you look and sound like total morons to the rest of the world.

Gotcha. Thanks.

 

[Ponn]

Its a giant bait and switch. No PS4 at all. Steel gates will slam shut, bars roll up on the windows. The real Vita Heaven begins.

Two things:

I have a date scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30. Do you think the megatons will have dropped already by then?

Second, I'm eight blocks from Hammerstein right now, I think I'm gonna go over after work and see if there's anything setup yet.

Is it your first date with this girl and do you have a smart phone?

You could always take her out to eat at one of the many restaurants that will have the event showing on their big screens.

Wait, this is going to be broadcasted on tv?

 

[Amir0x]

They're showing their next console, they should be confident when introducing their new product, even if we ended up with no games and just tech demos it'll still be a big deal.

Yeah, I agree, but if I was revealing a system that had nothing special to show (say, just showing a system and the controller and maybe one or two games), I wouldn't want the PR disaster of 1200 people looking extremely displeased.

Second and yes. I know I could use ustream on my phone but that doesn't set a good impression . I'm going to a French restaurant that doesn't have TVs. Plus she doesn't know I'm a huge video game nerd yet, gotta ease her in. Thanks for the advice though.

That was all kinds of awful.

lol, sorry. I don't know that it actually is. I pictured Kaz up on the big screens at the local sports bar...

No prob. I was half joking on the TV part but I think checking neogaf for updates on your phone during a bathroom break is your best bet. Def don't do it while she's around. She's (rightly) assume you're checking the time, texts or something else that isn't related to her.

Shouldn't it be on spike?

 

[quickwhips]

So like every US PS owner will be there? JK thats alot of people. I hope they bring some fire to light under MS and Nintendo. Competition is important.

Do the date, then take her back to your place and then be all "HEY I GOT A MOVIE TO WATCH"
Pull up video archive of conference.
Watch.

If she enjoys it, she's the one.

I'll be at work for the majority of it, and I hope there's a way for me to watch it after-the-fact. Even if I have to download it onto my PS3!

 

[Angry Fork]

No conference fan fiction is great unless you say they start off the conference by playing the original PS1 intro sound. Then you know shit is about to get real.

What about all of those riots and stampedes and shootings/attacks that occur because of "futbol", even when a game isn't even occurring. The rest of the world can do that, but we can't be excited for a video game console.

How the hell this this discussion turn in to Europe vs USA?

Anyway, that's a brutal amount of people. More than an E3 conference for sure.

I knew what that was before even clicking. I agree. I love when people get pumped, with emotional breakdowns being the best. This one's actually the best as it has the total freakouts and cussing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98VjTbC4gC4

 

[Black_Stride]

consoles are still one of the hottest products and will grow next gen .

tablets killed PCs . Console preferences will remain unaffected next gen

Killed PCs?

Woah, this is the first im hearing about this, i feel outside the loop right about now.

 

[boingball]

If anybody is in doubt...

There is a 100% chance Sony will announce that from now on they develop for iOS at this conference.

This news literally confirms it.





Well, Sony better will bring it on. It will be very difficult for them to not disappoint with the Hype-meter being on maximum.
