Sony Gearing Up for A Triumphant E3 2012 Showing?

GamerFitNation: E3 is considered the SuperBowl of the gaming industry and it is a mere 5 weeks away and with the recent announcement of God of War: Ascension coming to the PS3, gamers have been clamoring for more information about the title and what we can expect to see from it. Well, the best place that one would think that we would see more is E3. E3 is perfect place to highlight the best videogames for what some gamers call the best company. Sony has always had the habit of announcing exclusive titles before the event. This is the case with them announcing a New God of War and PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale on GameTrailers. What is left for them to announce? Well, let us examine what we know, have heard, and can expect.

And I DEMAND more VITA followers.

Sony, make it happen and put a spell on people to do that. I do not care if you sprinkle the T-Virus on people to make it happen. Just do it!

Some people just aren't keen on handheld gaming really. I myself used to have a PSP and a DSLite and they both had some great games that I enjoyed playing, but mainly gathered dust since I simply never felt in the mood to play on a handheld really. It's a shame because if they took the games from these systems and released them as downloadable titles on home consoles (be it PSN or WiiWare) I'm sure they'd see a lot of sales to people who are interested in the software but simply don't like the hardware. Besides, the types of games made for handheld systems are really suited to being downloadable releases I think. That's just me though!

Dms20124388d ago

For me its my not so great vision and those tiny, tiny screens. Handheld gaming gives me a headache. Not bashing it, because that would just be silly, it just simply does not work for alot of people.

Getowned4388d ago

SAME, Tiny screens and the crick in your neck after a while..keep it lol.. If i want to game on the go i'll bust out my gaming laptop :P

tokugawa4388d ago

yeah!!! the winner of e3 gets a gajillion dollars.... and ofcourse a winners medal!!

what i would love to see is some ps4 news though

LX-General-Kaos4388d ago

Sonys E3 seems to be gearing up quite nicely. There will be many announcements. I am personally wishing for the reveal of the patented Playstation Kinect like camera :)

Rated E For Everyone

MySwordIsHeavenly4388d ago

Tiny screen, you say?

I take it you haven't played a Vita yet? That screen is MASSIVE!

zeeshan4388d ago

Please! Pllleeeaasssee for the love of God, let there be a PS4, X720 announcement! Please! No, I am not saying to LAUNCH it this year (that'd be sweet) but at least an announcement would be great! I am getting pretty bored with the current-gen hardware :(

jib4388d ago

ditto. i don't really play on the go and when i'm at home of course i'd rather play on the 52in

MaxXAttaxX4385d ago (Edited 4385d ago )

But not many :)

@LX-General-Kaos,

Kinect? That would be known as the next iteration of the PS Eye for PS4, jackass.

Well I hope they don't waste most of the show on the PSV, just like how I don't want Nintendo wasting time on the 3DS or even Microsoft with Kinect

I think when it comes to E3, that one time a year where it's the biggest time to show off new games/hardware/gaming goodies....the main focus should be the consoles.

As jimbobwahey has said above

"Some people just aren't keen on handheld gaming really"

I'm not saying I don't like the PSV or the 3DS but I just want to see them waste more time on more important things. Especialy if you have Nintendo which has to make the Wii U look spectacular after last years confusing and disappointing performance

jujubee884388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

Couldn't disagree more. Sony has already expanded beyond the home theater shelf with PSP and VITA. When taking in consideration the millions that own or want the incentive to own Sony's newest handheld, addressing those fans is not a 'waste of the show'. In fact, it is essential that Sony, less they face the wrath of a HUGE portion of their gaming audience.

The time spent between face time for PS3 and VITA should be 50/50. And in between that, there should be a venn diagram cross over where cloud transferring (i.e. "tranfarring") between handhedl and console and other connectivity that allows PSVITA to act as a controller for PS3 games hits the stage.

Everyone knows where Sony will make the bulk of its profits right now. And it is the console. But, if Sony wants to truly make the world happy, addressing the VITA is key.

jujubee884388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

You guys just need to take a handheld in your hand and just caress it, rest it on your pillow, go to sleep with it, than you will know just how special handhelds are.

Seriously though, there are experiences catered to handhelds that people just don't get and that is mainly a product of not finding the right game to suit the player.

For me, playing Golden Sun on GBA and a few JRPG's on PSP really sucked me in (which explains whe I now own a VITA).

p.s. Whoever said they get headaches from looking at smaller screens, there is something either wrong with you or you spend multiple days just looking at display(s). Either way, what you are describing is not medically normal.

aviator1894388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

Well, the Vita needs more killer software and a competitive price-cut to do that.

Raoh4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

Comment removed, wrong reply

showtimefolks4388d ago

last of us gameplay will take center stage

GOW will be shown on april 30th so don't expect a lot more

sly 4 and LBP kart racing will be on stage

last guardian will be shown since sony santa monica studio alone with some of sony's best developers are helping with last guardian so i am expecting a lot of info

sony smash bros or whatever you want to call it will be shown

now down to surprises, i don't agree with the author about sony has to surprise us all they can do is show us games and we will be happy but a surprise would be extra goodies

agent will not be shown IMO
FF13 versus will not be shown IMO
syphone filter will be shown most likely
ratchet clank HD collection trailer with some gameplay

and rest of the show will be for VITA and i do expect them to drop the price or introduce a great bundle with memory card,games and system

pain777pas4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

I totally understand where Jujubee88 is coming from. As a happy Vita owner I want every game on this little joy of handheld. It is my favorite hardware wise since the GBA. When the GBA came I knew that it could handle any 2d 16-32 bit game from previous era with no fuss. Vita does the same for 3d games with all the control inputs. I hope that it gets support though I think that the Vita phone will be at E3 2013. Anyway... Sony have Guerilla games, Quantic dreams, Sucker Punch and most importantly the silent Media Molecule who could steal the show with something new. The thing is Sony is realizing that they have to do things on their own now. They cannot rely on third party anymore. Soul Sacrifice will be the answer to Monster Hunter for sure. If it takes off it is Capcom's fault for not seizing the opportunity because the game will probably have online play and have some Demon Souls sensibility with Monster Hunter like mini games. Sony just has to take their time. Do not rush the PS4 either just strengthen and add to the IP roster with stellar titles. Sucess will come with great games and great games only.

Only a triumphant show If they show a kick ass PS4.

waltyftm4388d ago

They don't need to show the PS4, the PS3 is doing great, has load's of great exclusives coming not to mention all the third party games too.

ozzywazzy4388d ago

I agree they don't need to show it, especially with that solid line-up and all the PSV games they'll show. But if they showed the smallest teaser, just enough to verify its in their plans, a little "hey guys we got this" it'd be more than enough to get everyone to cream their pants.

MakeBelieve4388d ago

Agreed but I would love a sneak peek nonetheless.

I imagine they are prepared for a sneak peek just in case they find out microsoft gives a sneak peek at the new xbox.

Cant wait for E3 2012!!

DeadlyFire4388d ago (Edited 4388d ago )

What they need to show if they are showing PS4 is full permanent PS3 Backwards compatibility on the PS4.

They are aiming for some really solid releases right at 2012/2013 with PS4 to come in 2013 or so. It would suck to buy new PS3 game and swap to PS4 and miss out on playing that new game. BC is almost essential for Sony to be successful this time.

I do believe both Sony and Microsoft will announce PS4 and Xbox 3 officially at E3 this year even if its nothing more than yes its coming in 2013/2014 or something like that. Likely with at least one or two Next gen teasers. KILLZONE 4? Uncharted 4?

gtxgamer24388d ago

holyy crap, e3 already! can't believe its been a year :o

Dms20124388d ago

Even with all the great exclusives I am still curious as to what the next gen has in store.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast93d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs90d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast90d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs88d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast88d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer93d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6992d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs90d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6990d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger137d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2393d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid137d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast136d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
