Saw some games with some good potential
The flashlight one will probably be compared to Alan Wake, no doubt

ShabzS5381d ago (Edited 5381d ago )

more like doom 3 i think ... that was the first application that came to my mind when i first saw their e3 demo ... exploring dark corridors with a flashlight AND a pistol ?... even more exciting ....

ThanatosDMC5381d ago

I still dont want to stand in front of my tv to play a game especially if it's a good one that takes you hours on end to stop playing.

pxpxp5381d ago

that flash light game/demo looks good i can only imagine how they will incorporate it with more mature/hardcore games hopefully not just shovelware. also i find funny how they took a stab at the wii and natal.

PS the archer game also looks really good

randomwiz5381d ago (Edited 5381d ago )

the good thing about this is there's a wide variety of games you can make.

I'll be getting both this and natal(im sure natal's a totally different experience), and my wii will be dead... well... it already is.

Ju5381d ago

Is that scene from Heavy Rain ? Or where is that from ?

SIX5381d ago

Quote from the video,
"Gone are the days of just standing there waving your arms around"

Oh slam!

I know they could be referring to the old ps eye but one has to wonder. It could also be a hidden dig at Natal.

da720izcumin5380d ago

I cant wait for this thing to come out....
son: playin in the living room
father walks in: son, why are you playing with your mother's dildo?
son: but daddy, this is sony's new motion dildo controller!!!
father:son, what did i tell you about playing with motion dildo controllers????
son:o thas right daddy, I remember that talk...
father: good son, now put dat down, and let's play real games with real controllers...

on topic, why does it need to change colors for?

LiL T5380d ago

It changes colour for diffrent players or multiple controler recognition. i.e P1. red, P2. blue, P3. green ect.

Game look awesome and original The archer game looks sweet they revealed that it will have a button called the action button on the back of the controller

Everything from Price to Name will be revealed at TGS because its coming out the first half of '10 and theres no major Gaming expos in the first half

blackbeld5381d ago

Very Nice Sony!! I will buy it!!

mirroredderorrim5381d ago

Flashlight? I think Platinum Games and Konami need to collaborate for a new Silent Hill game, that uses this tech.

cool85381d ago

should be bundled with a party pack, featuring a whole bunch of mini games

peedie165381d ago (Edited 5381d ago )

the game with the flash light could be pretty good and the one with the dude and the wand O and did they take shots at natal in this video or is it just me

xjoshbx5381d ago

lol def took a shot at natal... The flashlight/guy going up stairs game looks like heavy rain to me.

Ju5381d ago (Edited 5381d ago )

Thought the same thing. Imagine, that launches with Heavy Rain next year... there was even a scene with a quick time event from the game, AFAIS.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 21h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 11h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 2h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow12h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney7h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 22h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 21h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 20h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 6h ago
fsfsxii1d 7h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 6h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
