[tocrazed4you]

Conferences please and its official. Ps3 will own japan with the new gt5 and lbp bundle.

[Beast_Master]

That is it for Sony's Press confrence? Where The F*** are the 9 unannouced titles or was this just a press confrence for Home? I hope they do something more than this for TGS, Where is White Knight, ICO, Naughty Dog, Sony Japan, Liverpool and Incognito and your other 20 studios. We know of one secret PS3 exclusive, Tecmo's new game. Someone please tell me they have a big shin dig on Friday planned or I am going to be pissed!

[Raoh]

so with the ad hoc.. does that mean the ps3 will serve as a server for the psp?

[Omegasyde]

Correct, but I wonder how they are going to do it?

I wonder how you find other player? Do you go on the internet and ask for peoples's IP adresses?

Also every PSP game going digital is biggest news so far to come out of TGS IMHO.

[pwnsause]

it means you will be able to play adhoc only PSP games will turn into online PSP games via the PS3.

[DARKKNIGHT]

PErhaps, HOME will be the portal for the psp to find players while youre on the go.

MAkes sense to me.

[tocrazed4you]

The death of UMD has been confirmed future games will be downloadable...

[THWIP]

...and PS3 faqboys said MS's announcements were lame. Sony spent as much time on the PSP....AGAIN...as the PS3, just like with E3.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

This wasn't there Conference dumbass.It didn't even start yet.

[Max Power]

show the 9 unannounced ps3 titles?

[PoSTedUP]

lol

[juuken]

Bring it on Sony, just bring it on.

[ChrisGTR1]

"PS Home will commence open beta service within CY2008 "
wtf is "CY2008"?

[cp68]

there you go.

[ChrisGTR1]

well thats pretty pointless, didnt we already know this? well i guess its better than if they had just not said anything leading us to believe it was delayed again.

[Mc Fadge]

"Thin rumors had been announced as the new firmware update released by the PS2 and do not function Compatibility. "

[xhi4]

what the hell is that?

and does anybody know when the other two big conferences for Sony are?

[Omegasyde]

I think its a meeting that intended for Company investors...Not sure though either.

[Aclay]

I'm just waiting for more news on those unannounced games...Temco's recently announced PS3 exclusive must have been one of them, and I'm definantly excited to find out what Konami's next PS3 game will be.

I think the GT5P bundles should do well, and I'm REALLY hoping that the Japanese jump all over LBP. LBP isn't a JRPG, but I think that it's appealing enough for Japanese gamers to really go crazy over it. A White Knight Chronicles PS3 bundle would have totally owned Japan this holiday... but I guess we'll have to wait for the March 09 FF Advent Children PS3 bundles for that to happen.

[Panthers]

LBP is cute. Japanese love Cute. Its scary how much they love cute.

[Mc Fadge]

SUPER KAWAII DESU~

[Kratos215]

The titles are 9 by SCEJ, 1 by Konami, and the game by from software. the tecmo game was a surprise.

[Beast_Master]

I have a feeling the unannouced Konomi game was Castlevannia and the expanded MG4 online, I hope I am wrong and you folks that have been Pineing for ZOE 3 would be it, but don't be surprised if that is what they where anticipating on revealing.

And I am just going to add the Tecmo game as one of the 9 because let's face it, it is PS3 exclusive and not a PSN game which is a huge plus for me. If we get 9 + the tecmo game I will cream my pants but I remember Lipzig and most of those annoucements where a little underwhelming so crossing fingers that Sony has a big load to blow.

[LikAChicken]

a little off topic but seeing the news about the psp reminded me. should i get the psp or the ipod touch?

[Omegasyde]

They both play games, music, and video.

However you can change the battery in a PSP at anytime by yourself.

[pwnsause]

PSP, if you are a gamer, nothing is better than the Swiss Army Knife that is the PSP.

[PattyWacker]

I mean if star ocean is actually exclusive to the 360, plus the other loads of 360 titles square has been hauling out, without any love for their ps3 owners. Why... did they say they decided to go and make FFXIII multiplatform to give it to more players to enjoy, and well cuz they wanted to sell more? would they not want to do the same with Star Ocean? that game, in some places will sell better than FFXIII. As a ps3 only owner of next gen systems it disapoints me a lot. I dont have anger or jealousy, but im disapointed I cant enjoy a game ive been waiting to play since I finished the third one, with its crappy ending and all. If your gonna make one huge game multiplat make them all. Or else your just hypocrites.

[LikAChicken]

To be honest when I saw SE reasons for making FF13 multiplat, I could see where they were coming from. Many third party publishers are going multiplat now and its just going to be that way. However when they were continuing keeping 360 SE exclusives and timed exclusives that was when I began to question. I thought there reasoning for going multiplat was to expand there audience worldwide. But how are you giving special treatment with some of your titles. Going multiplat really isn't an issue for me, its this timed exclusivity garbage. One thing I am actually beginning to dislike is the whole exclusive thing. If you are a third party company (not second) you should be multiplat; theres no other reason not to do so. However stop with timed exclusive and exclusive DLC crap. It truly is divisive, and I think its poor handling of consumer interest on the part of 3rd party developers.

[Blasphemy]

That's how you know money is involved on Microsoft's part.

[PattyWacker]

This also puts doubt into a lot of peoples suggestions that square is just creating multiplat to make the money they've lost by creating expensive engines etc. If they wanted more money its all about multiplat. I can see the 360 being the next stop for good RPG's from square. Thankfully sony has White Knight chronicles. 16player online FTW!

[DeforMAKulizer]

Pattern of event stage of 10/9 business days delivery!
SCEJ Press Conference 10/9 night release schedule

So the first one is done.... All we have to do is wait for the night conference! =D

[tako2000]

So this is not a press conference but a key note?

This is really confusing me...so when is MS's conference begin? assuming the one we just read is key note also

[DeforMAKulizer]

This was just a business keynote... SCEJ will be having a conference in the evening (Tokyo time)... Most likely the conference dealing with the heap of new games... The 14 games thingy...
MS's conference ended about two hours ago... They only have their show rooms now...
Can't wait!

[BrunoM]

Yep DeforMAKulizer

your right about that .. and on the press will see the BIG stuff .. and that will be in about 12 hours if im not wrong i think ... or m i a lil bit lost with the time zones .. it will be in 8 hours .. oo well not sire .. maibe at the reall press they will gave us the date for home ...

( on the side noye it mai come on the 24 ... and you as WHY ? .. well the uncharted room came ou today and one of the codes to get in to one of the rooms is 1024 .. ok u gona say that can be anything but the lead guy on PS HOME told ign that "that was no only a number or is it" . so we never know ..)
ooo and so im not called a LIAR (thing that hapens here alot) heres a link .. http://weblogs.variety.com/...

[DeforMAKulizer]

Ya i know about uncharted hehe... Im a home beta tester myself! =D
I think the conf might start after about 3-4 hours... Cause by then it would be about 6-8 PM in Tokyo... Thus, qualifying as night for the "night release"... Ah man! Im sooo excited i just can't wait! Just saw a video for Quantum Theory and it looks like Gears of War + Ninja Gaiden + Devil May Cry = AWESOME!!!!! =D
Sony will shock!

[pwnsause]

can you tell us were you got this info?

[DeforMAKulizer]

The Home stuff, is mainly what many of beta testers talked about, including myself when i popped by for a visit to the uncharted room... Check my history of comments and add me if you want to see if im in home... The conference information is simply the translation of this link http://www.jp.playstation.c... at atla vista... As for the video of Quantum Theory go to 1up or the N4G front page to check it out =D

[pwnsause]

[HairyBrownSack]

lol ps3 sucks. i have so much money, I could easy buy one, but every time I almost do, I suddenly see tons of reasons why not to, LOOL. PS3 just plain SUCKS!!!!

[fufotrufo]

The conference is over..it was 3o minutes long
http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[DeforMAKulizer]

Honestly i dont know... The 30 minute thing was a business conference... The 11 game thing wasn't a rumor, it was written on the JP sony website... So i guess we have to wait!

[tako2000]

It seem like that key-note is actually the conference

Now is 11:50PM at Japan and yet nothing conference related have made to the pending news area, also the Sony website didn't show any footage of conference.

Either the Sony website made a mistake on conference date, or the website didn't update as the conference is over.

If the truth is the second, then Sony really got nothing on this year TGS beside WK...

[Darkseider]

That PS2 emulator rumor was squashed. I was looking forward to finally retiring the old workhorse and freeing up some space in my entertainment center. Ooh well.

[ReaperXL7]

It was talked about yesterday, Sony had their business meeting, and then tomarrow (Friday) they have another conference that they are doing in combination with Level-5 so we will have to wait and watch, TGS lasts all weekend so anything is still possible.

It's completely possible since Nintendo isent there at all that Sony, and MS decided to use Friday as a second conference day, I am pretty sure that both thrusday is usually used for business issues, and talking to investors etc, and then Friday is the day for actual games related stuff. I'm just trying to remember how the previous game shows where so I may not be acurate.

[BrunoM]

so friday is when they gona do the 12 or 14 games thing ???

i mean they just had another press an they talk about the psp store some new sku's for japan but no 14 games ... im so lost right now ...

[ReaperXL7]

9 ps3 games, and 2 psp games.

I just don't see why Sony would flat out state that they have a bunch of new games to show, and then not show anything, I hope they have something up their sleve but i'm trying not to get my hopes up.

I really want to see Team Ico's game announced as Ico said it would be announced soon, if it's not at TGS I don't know when it could be unless Sony is planning to have it's own event sometime before the end of the year.

[sinncross]

its 14 games...

9 sony ps3 titles, 1 irem, 1 konami, 3 sony psp titles.

I wonder what they all are... maybe sony will have a final day presentation or something.. hopefully.

or maybe these are all obscure japanense titles.
