Mark your calenders for Monday, June 6 at 5 p.m. PST/ 7 p.m. CT / 8 p.m. ET, as that will be the time the Japanese electronic giant will be holding their annual press briefing to showcase their latest and future titles, new hardwares and maybe a few surprises.

Am I the only one that thinks that the most exciting thing at Sony's conference will be how exactly they choose to handle/mention/discuss the PSN debacle?

Well, they do have the NGP and a lot of awesome PS3 exclusives coming up.

I know that they have a lot of great stuff coming up, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more curious how they are going to handle that flub. Will they ignore it? Will they be flip? I don't know why but I'm very interested to see what they do.

Well, they already announced their "Welcome Back" package.

Each PSN user is getting 1 or 2 free PS3 games from a list and a free month of PS+.

I'm admittedly being glib, but I still think they'll have to make some sort of allusion to the situation at E3 of all places, the Welcome Back package not withstanding.

 

[Goober]

Pricedrop please!

 

[KNUBB]

I doubt they are gonna ignore the PSN situation. Who knows they may give us insight of certain upgrades they made and how it effects us.

Side Note: I know I am prolly gonna get called a fanboy, but I always found Sony's conference to be the most enjoyable. They let their products sell themselves instead of using celebrities and stupid guests to force hype. I was dying laughing at MS press conference last year because the guy speaking always was the 1st to start clapping so the audience would follow along.

 

[Buzzman]

Sony is the best because what they usually show looks fine. Even though the Move sucks right now and probably will for a while, I still remember them showing actual hardcore games with it. Yet Microsoft used the 1st 60 mins to talk about how they get COD map packs 1st and the Kinect shit with dancing and weight loss.

Sony usually has 4-5 big bang moments that surprise you. Microsoft rarely has any.

IIRC Nintendo Faceraped it last year. The Kevin Butler thing was a time waster, albeit entertaining.

 

[KNUBB]

Meh I ignored everything Nintendo has done due to my inability to play the Wii

20 Sony Funbux says the PS Move is dead to make way for the dead-in-the-water Xperia (sp?) phone and the NGP.

I'll take that bet. So I guess it would be double or nothing for you because you already owe me $20. Bitch.

No way they abandon the Move. It has sold well. No where near as The Oprah Motion Sensor but damn good.

I better see audio and writing in triplicate or you ain't got shit, Cop. :smug:

Don't bother using "Doubt" either.

For real though, until they can sync up the movements of games like SOCOM and Killzone to the point where there's no lag, I don't see it working out well in the end.

Early money aside, what do you think Sony will do with the Move in the long term other than slap Move controls onto games that don't need them?

I thought the movements were 1 to 1? But I don't have one so I don't know.

I honestly can't see them really going anywhere innovative. The only thing that looked innovative was that Sorcery game and no one has heard about it since last E3.

I fucking love having to wait for the "move" caution screen to disappear when I play The Show 11. It's hard as shit to hit with the analog stick, I can only imagine how much I would rage trying to hit a ball with the glowing dildo.

I think you can only use it in homerun derby?

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Gimmick. Ugh.


Thats my major issue with these motion sensing things. Not the tech , not the push of console makers. Just the complete lack of imagination by devs.

A French website is reporting that MGS: Peace Walker is being ported for the PS3, and an announcement will come at E3.
