i think David Reeves is like the worst sony executive EVER.

ken kuturagi is god compared to him! kk was at least funny/entertaining and had talent. What does David Reeves have?!

Well, at least he hasn't started PMing people on NeoGAF...yet. :lol
 
Well.... Sony did not deliver here. Wait for TGS now....

I can't believe that Sony screwed over Konami's PES to promote EA after EA just screwed Sony America with Madden.... Unbelieveable.

and yet you rag so much on Wii Play. you're so confusing sometimes.


I rag about Wii Play being counted as software sale... but what does Wii Play have to do with Buzz, Singstar and Fifa/PES?
 
I'm British.

Seriously it is so cool stuff coming esp big news about FIFA, but shame there is no DS3 or megaton game for rest of us.
 
The conference was alright, but I don't know why they were hyping it saying Sony was going to let off fireworks :/ But this isn't the first press conference I've seen that was hyped up too much. I remember people hyping up CES :lol

The MGS4 trailer is awesome and I can't wait to see it in hd or direct feed. Props to Kotaku for getting it up first even if it's not the best quality. Also the GT5:P footage is amazing as well. http://www.jeux-france.com/news21453_gc-video-gran-turismo-5-prologue.html
 
Funny thing is that there were more announcements here than the either competition had at E3 (with close to no show at Leipzig).

Well, I think/hope Sony will bring this to Belgium too.

Not in the near future. There's only 2 DVB-T channels here...compared to like twenty to thirty in the countries it will be released.

you champion Buzz's sales when it is similarly bundled with hardware and certainly no more of a game than Wii Play.
 
Did anyone really expect massive megatons at Leipzig? Unfortunately, even though this conference is bigger than E3, I think the games industry still considers Europe some weird backwater.

Oh, I thought it worked with regular analog coax input whatever too.

Maybe it's exactly for the Madden debacle that we're seeing this deal. Relationship between the two companies hit a low point when a game from EA brought bad press to the PS3 from mainstream pubblications and the executives from both the companies were in an embarassing situation because they couldn't just blame the other openly but probably wanted to.
This relationship and the fact that FIFA08 will run well on PS3 and will be pushed by Sony it's a sign that things are going well between them.

True, but I was expecting some new game(s) for my PS3 ;(

Play TV does sound awesome to me. It's not games related, but megatonish.
Too limited in scope to be megaton. Region-specific and only works for "freeview" channels

I expected Euro-centric megatons, which I'm not fully equipped to rate as I don't care about soccer games so the news about some of that stuff is a non-issue to me. For me there's a few really cool things announced, nothing terribly relevant to NA (yet) so I'd personally label it a mild disappointment. I had been hoping for a Shockaxis reveal so the lack of that is a bummer, but really i did expect the big news to be mostly about Europe anyway and it seems it was (that PlayTVshit better make it over the atlantic eventually!)

Nobody screwed nobody. EA has an official World Cup game and it is licenced. Konami can't go even close to the World Cup, since they do not have the licence.

Casual players will play FIFA in licenced WC, serious players will play PES in non-licenced WC. Sony will collect cash, EA will collect cash, Konami will collect cash. Everybody satisfied.

Woo! Will download the Folklore demo tonight.
 
It confirmed the DVR feature, which was the main thing I've been waiting for since launch. Sad we didn't see 8 Days/Getaway, but then again I doubt any of the people complaining here care about those games anyway.

Isn't this just the Japanese demo (translated, possibly)? Everyone here should have already played this weeks ago.

If not, then try it out, it's pretty good. But you should really think about setting up PS3 accounts in every major region.
 
Hey guys, there are other Leipzig exclusive trailers as well.

PSN trailer
PS Eye Trailer
New Heavenly Sword Trailer
..etc..etc

Region specific in most European and various other countries.

Freeview is an awesome service in the UK. There used to be a weird ass subscription system called ONdigital which was a frigging disaster. It tanked, and was replaced by the free service which is considerably better. In the future it will feature HD channels too. It's much cheaper than satellite.

Who knows, perhaps this Sony thing could also offer Top-Up TV (a premium service that works alongside freeview) if it wanted, though I think its appeal would be limited.

Fantavision at TGS.

If only.

In a cafe somewhere in Shibuya, Katsuyuki Kanetaka is doodling on the back of a napkin the design for a retro-kitch pinball/firework display/flight simulator fashioned out of PURE CATHODE RAY LIGHT, then folding it away and sighing softly to himself.
