1.6 - to be quite honest with u guys
after reading it my heart beat got fast and man if this turns out to be true especially...
Fumito Ueda will be there at GDC '09. He will announce 2 projects. One of them is Shadow of the Colossus Online.

- Syphon Filter is underway to PS3. Apparently the developers are using the same engine behind Killzone2.

- Insomniac is developing a new action platformer RPG. It looks like a Zelda clone.

then we are brink of a new war of games....:P

but man i dont think price cut it going to be happen any time soon if they would have done it with the release of killzone 2 that would have been helped alot but still if they do say its
MEEEEEGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAATOOOOO OOONNNNNNNN

thanks

The new Team ico game will not be SOTC 2. It will be a different game altogether. Just like how Ico was different to SOTC.

This is too good to be true, so I won't believe it until I see it. The insomniac and Filter I can believe because I predicted a new IP from Insomniac and more DLC for Ratchet. I can't believe Team ICO because SOTC online? That's just not right. Isn't Dark Cloud 3 due out this year?

My heart skipped a few beats when I hear "Team ICO.....Jak 4....and a new Insomniac "action platformer" RPG that looks like a Zelda clone.

I could not ask for more than a new IP from Insomniac and it being a platformer.

And I have waited way too long for anything on Jak and Team ICO...

I'll take it all with a grain of salt,and cross my fingers that any of this will come true at GDC...Heres to hoping...

Speaking of hoping....Throw in some Dark Cloud,Beyond good and evil 2 news in too....

1.16 - to be honest
I can tell you right now that there is gonna be a jak 4 probably alled jak and daxter:The lost frontier but who knows , I do know they wouldnt announce it till uncharted 2 is OUT lol.

a new ip from insomniac would be good, I would like to see a resistance 3 so i can know WTF the ending to R2 was about. but other than that a SOTC is likely (probably not online) what about those weird pictrues from team ICO with the huge chain going onto a pit?

anyways thats my take on it all.

are there MS/SONY/NINTENDO keynotes? If so, which day are they? I don't think Sony or MS will announce that many things at a developers conference. The E3 would be a far better place to do so.

already I detect fake.

TruthBTold - 261 days 12 hours ago
3.1 - Yep, thats the only rumor that sounds kinda off
If Sony makes a price cut announcement then it will be an immediate price cut. It would make no sense for people to know a price cut is coming a month from now so Sony's sales would drop. But I do think a price cut will be announced and it will be immediately available.

I also cant wait for the new game from Ico.

3.2 - i could care less
but it could be possible

the only reason why is because the one for $400 has 2 games bundled and they probably are going to be popular 1st party ones

which means customers will get 2 games cheaper than buying a console without a bundled game for 300

it wont happen but thats why it could b a possibility

They are bundling the 399 PS3 with 2 greatest hits games. Motorstorm 1 and Resistance: Fall of Man.

The Lazy One - 260 days 17 hours ago
3.4 - Eh...
I don't know why anyone would get the $399 version if that's true.

for the $120 you can upgrade the 40 to a 320gb hd ($60 or so from some story here in the past 3 days) and get both the games in the other version. Essentially you end up paying $20 for an extra 240gb of space in your PS3 and get all the games in the 80gb version.

Seems like a slightly odd pricing strategy.

3.

how so? care to actually back that claim with reason? it wouldn't be the first time a 40GB SKU was introduced as part of a price cut, and it fits in line with the reports of certain retailers getting 80GB bundles with 2 games for $399.

3.1

i can agree it does sound too soon to announce, but look at the last time they announced a price cut...

http://www.gamespot.com/new...

a month ahead of the release.

they are not going to backtrack to a smaller hardrive. or in other words bring back the 40gb, which is the same as the 80gb. if you remembered the 40gb SKU, you would realize that its the same as a 80gb sku. BTW 40gb isnt the standard anymore when it comes to HDDs. plus as the library of PSN games get bigger and bigger, the HDD must increase as well.

they are sticking with the 80gb while cutting the price for it soon.

Everything else on that list I can bleieve especially the LoD2 rumor.

The new SKU will most likely also have a new 45nm cpu and some cost reductions. Same when they introduced the last 40/80GB model. The 80GB might be the current SKU (which most likely has already been build month ahead) and will get an value increase to sell of stocks. It makes perfectly sense.

MS can take whatever they want. That strategy didn't work in the past and it won't work today (or in the future). Also, nothing they "took away" went 360 exclusive (at least nothing which mattered). BTW: With the speed Sony (studios) produces exclusives, MS will be busy coming up to yet take away all those games.

It doesn't matter, PS3'll just get the rest of an previously originally critically acclaimed 360 exclusive third party franchise such as;

Condemned
Saints Row
Dead Rising
Bioshock

...and counting.

Shadow of the Colossus online?? WTF? does that makes any sense?

Some of those rumors seems fake

brycespitler - 261 days 11 hours ago
10.1 - it doesnt
it wouldnt work

they would have to create like 100 different monsters to kill to make it even worth the purchase or else the community would die

theres no reason for those devs to worry about a sequel to that game

cant it just stay as it is?

It makes perfect sense actually considering the game was initially meant to be a multiplayer/coop-game, you were supposed to take down the Colossi with friends working together actually.

The only problem was that they noticed that the ps2 couldn't handle that much stuff going on simultaneously with multiple players playing in, so they made it an awesome singleplayer experience in the end instead. :)

Here's some footage of the SoTC-beta (or Nico as it was called back then)

I know, right? Even though I like Team ICO, sounds a little iffy throwing what could be massively multiplayer action into the minimalist lore of Ico/SotC. A huge part of those games seems to be isolation through your environment. I don't doubt their ability to pull off an acceptable compromise, but definitely taking this as a rumour.

If true, maybe it will be in the the ICO/Colossus game world where you need a team of players to bring down a colossus and fight off various shadow creatures. Doubt it's true though.

An action platformer RPG? Ratchet Adventures would be awesome. :D
