Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's press day is set to hit tomorrow and lucky European press types will get a chance to check out Resistance 2, Go! Explore and HOME. To celebrate the European Playstation Store will be getting two updates, one featuring a Haze Demo and the other sending out demos for GRID and The Bourne Conspiracy.
I don't know this for a fact, but I'd suspect that since SCEA's Gamers Day isn't until a week from Friday that Sony may embargo coverage of the European Gamer's Day until that Friday or the following week. Of course they could just let the news trickle out as their Gamer's Days happen, that just isn't how it usually works. Either way, lots of exciting Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable news coming this month.

I am so ready for Resistance 2
I suspect Kaz's video of the event that shows up in the store Thursday will have some footage,etc.
Anxious about LBP myself.
Good news. They need to do something to get the momentum ball rolling again. They had a good thing going until all these announced release delays and Home (including the in game XMB) being pushed back yet again.
@PapaBear434: agreed.
So Brian, doesn't Kotaku have a European correspondent? If not, you should. Someone named Hans or Otto, perhaps. :)
Sweet some new info about Resistance... cant wait
Disappearing comments FTL, Kotaku. What the heck is causing this?
I know I'm probably alone with this, but I can't wait to hear more about Killzone 2. It looks so sweet.
Indeed (to the last sentence).
I heart Insomniac.

@Spoony Bard:
Or Deter.
@sonofnone:Everyone hearts Insomniac.
@PapaBear434:
Those are seperate entities.
I'm looking forward to some new PS3 info. I'm really wanting to buy a PS3 and complete my gaming triumvirate, but there's nothing that sparks my interest as of yet (don't say MGS4, I played halfway through 1 and couldn't finish it)
@PapaBear434: Wow..I just lost half the comments i'd already read...
@Wolfers: I triple heart Insomniac!
@Callidux:
Warhawk. Warhawk. Warhawk.
i expect this to be the end-all-be-all for ps3 fps. 8 player online coop would rock. i hope they include a combo of online coop and splitscreen.
This is one of the reasons (besides Little Big Planet) I am happy that I "paid for potential"...my only hope is they deliver on the huge bar that has been set.
::goes back to waiting on Home and LBP::
Yay. I expect gameplay this time, you crafty Insomniac Blokes.
@munchausen: Wby would you expect/want a game so early in the development cycle to be the end-all/be-all? That seems stupid to me.
@PapaBear434: That and Uncharted would definitely be two games I would pick up.
@Spoony Bard: Someone named Fritz Heiny!
@Maldron: it's not that i hope they can't find ways to improve in later iterations, it's that i hope they don't leave anything on the table. leaving features out, like leaving out online play in gran turismo 4 or leaving out split screen in motorstorm, is lame. including as much as they can and not sacrificing on features or quality is what i'm looking for. this should help it be a game that re-defines the experience and sets a new bar. expecting a game to leave out features in lieu of inclusion in later iterations would be lame.
8-player coop gameplay footage please. =)
@Maldron: If what the Insomniac devs have been saying all along this game is almost done and if you were to judge by the gameplay of the first and the graphical prowess of R&C:ToD it bodes well for this franchise.
Can't wait for Resistance Dos.
Need more co-op games in my life that I can play with people sitting in the same damned room.
they better show an update of Killsnooze 2.. it's overdue
@Wolfers: True, but can there ever be too much love for tool-tossing Lombaxes (Lombaxi?) and six-eyed, gun-toting harbingers of doom? Just the promise of enhanced multi-player features makes my heart all a-tizzy.
Excuse me while I go blow something up to regain some of my manhood.
@munchausen:
Yes,8 player co-op will rock.Even if its a seperate storyline,I'm sure it'll be fun.I'd like to see footage of the 60 player rocket test.
Insomniac just keeps blowing my mind. How in the world do they keep on churning all these titles year after year after year is just beyond me...
I am totally ready for "exciting" PS3 and PSP news.
Bring it on I say!
@mescalineeyes: How are you alone on this one my friend. Loads of people are excited for Killzone 2, especially press folk.
You just have to realize, that the marketing is on for games like MGS and Resistance because they're closer to being released.
Killzone may miss 2008 altogether since they've been hush hush on it. But, once we get closer to that game's release, the hype train will begin anew.
@sascha23: Indeed if R2 delivers, which i believe it will based on insomniacs track record on PS3 so far, then KZ2 could well slip into 09 and it willnot be a big fuss.
but yes give us proof that killzone 2 is being churned out! a podcast would be nice!
I am very interested in Resistance 2, but did anyone else get a Halo 3 vibe from the Teaser? Especially the main shot of a lone figure watching big ships fly across the sky and the line "this is how it begins" in the halo 3 trailer... the ships flying over the excavation site "this is how the world ends"...
I probably should not have said anything...
I liked the ad campaign i saw in a magazine a while before I even saw the first r2 rumor. It had no game mentioned just a child with multiple eyes like a Chimera.
Also, I just played the first level of Killzone Liberation, and don't find it that exciting so far. I assume it gets better.
I did actually like Killzone 1, despite some glitches and some (not all) atrocious characters. I thought the combat was quite good, and the levels very realistic. I didn't like the lead character in KZ1 or Rico. I usually Played as Rico just avoid hearing his painful soundbites.
The characters shown so far in KZ2 seem much better.
lookn' fwd to your impressions ^
Can't wait for this game! Might be the best FPS game for the PS3...
or of the world...
Either way, I'm planning on buying this because it has great ideas for pushing the PS3 capabilities to beyond the limit.
It will not disappoint...
best fps game for the ps3? hardly. I think this month's upcoming Haze shows more optimism to have that title then Resistance 2.
the trailer does look astonishing however. way more cooler looking then the actual game play of the 1st one. which i thought sucked.
Crecente please find out if there will be an embargo so I can just forget about it all till then.
bring it!
PS3 FPS related, What happened to Killzone 2? It looked decent at the last E3, but no news since, what gives?
Once Resistance 1 drops in price, it's gotta be soon, right? I'll pick it up and maybe I'll get a chance to play it before #2 comes out.
Hoorah. Can't wait.
I NEED INFO ON THIS.
and Killzone 2.
@ mescalineeyes: a video or demo would be nice.
@ emuc64: resistance is worth full price!
Can't wait for R2,
1) for a shitload of opponents, it's rare to get 40p matches nowadays in the time-of-day when I'm gaming T_T
2) for the 60p matches, hoping there's an option to play in "mayhem" matches. I love nonstop shooting and aiming to dominate all :>. Otherwise, the squad-based play is fine with me - it's fun to get together with your clan and sweep the floor with everyone else, though the fighting for points is less fair :(
3) online co-op
I kinda hope they also include more of the weapons of single-player into online-play, it'll become like SiN deathmatches.
