A good day:)
In order of excitement:
Little Big Plannet
Mirrors Edge
Aaaaaand that's it.
so... no news on Home? oh well...
@StagnatedLives: Yeah no kidding, I was expecting some news on home and Uncharted 2 by now.
E.T. phone HOME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was hoping for a new FFXIII trailer. Too bad.
Mirror's Edge was the star of the show for me.
And no Wipeout HD info. And the game is supposed to be released this month the last time Studio Liverpool said anything.
Ah well. Holding out hope for a 2008 release I guess . . .
For those wondering about Home, hit the link for some info [www.1up.com]
@StagnatedLives:It's probably going to be awhile before we hear anything new about Home.
Is that a photo from Killzone 2? What happened to the life that game appeared to have with its characters. Judging by that screenshot, it looks like just another shooter?
@Rubix42: Yeah, why so quiet on the Wipeout front?
I am salivating over that game.
You are right. We got too caught up in the FPS news.
Where the F is Wipeout?. I don't understand how that franchise cannot be a great PS3 bundle. I just don't understand...
I know even YOU enjoyed Podracer for N64
Two of the announcements were just delays, man they must think that fans like delays or something. Oh well it's Sony.
@Fyren: SCEA's gamers day is in the next few weeks,i'm sure they're gonna save some of the primer meats for that gamers day:)
Wow. A lot of delays and no God of War 3.
This was not a very good playstation day.
@SlowDeath420: I'd call it a decent day... good would be giving them too much credit for:
1) A delay of LBP
2) Another delay for Killzone 2 (well maybe not delay as just late launch)
3) Oldish news about R2's great looking multiplayer (I'm putting that one under positive though... looks great)
4) Motostorm details (looking good)
5) Racing Academy? Not sure what to file it under. Let's put it under good news for fast cars.
6) Minor news on several titles (ok, good news I guess)
7) Blu-Ray news (still goodish, even if it doesn't wow me)
8) Episodic stuff (to make a good day out of it, I'm for calling this good)
9) Indie music on PSN (good news)
10) MGS Bundle showed up Europe's butt without vaseline. (Biggest disappointment yet)
11) Social gaming... well ... ok ... fine
12) PS3 outselling 360 in Europe. Good news for Sony... bad news for anybody tired at fanboy rantings. Still I classify it as good. But doubtfully so.
13) Mirror's Edge looks nice... good news.
14) No DualShock acknowledged in Europe yet... horrible news even if it's no news... since it's not you know... acknowledged....
15) No home, no God of War, no Wipeout, no Final Fantasy, no Ico (come on Sony, you can do it again!), no news on the real Gran Turismo... was this a Sony news day?
So out of 13 articles and a number of nonmentions we have... 2 delays, one butt-rape and like 5 ones that's mostly meh.
I had hoped for more... especially DS3 and an European/Australian (and Scandinavian above all!) price cut to match the rest of the world.
So this is the year of the PS3?? More delays, No Home, GTA4 and MGS4?
Frankly I'm not overly impressed. I still would like a Blu Ray player though... Next price drop in NA hopefully.
Well it seems they were trying to appeal to the Euros and show off Euro made games. LBP, Killzone 2, and Mirror's edge is made by European dev with the only exception being Resistance 2. Gamer's day will show off more of the American clout so I expect some new details on GoW and Home. They don't wanna spoil all the fun ;)
@The Whaleman: Good post.
Still have Sony Gamers Day and Sony's E3 Event...
Im sure they will have some of their blockbuster stuff announced then.
Damn you people complain a lot, totally glossing over the NEW stuff they offering you. And for the love of God, it's just Playstation Day, they aren't gonna announce earth shattering, sell your babies, type of news at it. Just be thankful for once and stop crying...
Did you all really think that they would scoop E3? Surprised they put that much info out there.
