    Highlights From Harrison's DICE Q&A

    If you expected earth shattering announcements at DICE, you might want begin lowering your expectations. Phil Harrion's question and answer session with N'Gai Croal this morning focused more on the Sony Worldwide Studios and third-party development side than on product announcements. Rather than have the short attention span crowd wade through talk of rendering pipelines and open source platform support, I'll wrap up the few product highlights.

    • SingStar and SingStore for PLAYSTATION 3 shown again with new features, including streaming song previews, custom user pages, video uploads of performances, and My SingStar community features.
    • Super Rub A Dub shown. The PlayStation Network game, sure to be the subject of Monkey Ball comparisons, features SIXAXIS tilt control and will be available before the European PS3 launch.
    • The sequel to the PSP game LocoRoco is playable, but platform and release date weren't given.
    • The PLAYSTATION 3 online platform will continue to evolve "aggressively". Phil wouldn't specify timetables or feature sets.

    If anyone has any questions, throw them in the comments. I'll try to answer when I can.
