Sony announcements at Leipzig

From PS3Attitude, guest writer Alexander Chalkidis attends Sony's Leipzig keynote speech and writes:

"Heavy Rain: "A truly ground breaking game". David Cage of Quantic Dream introduced it as writer and director. The casting was a demo using a virtual actress. People are eager for something emotional and different[...]. No longer just for kids or teenagers. More complex stories, mature, accessible, no guns or cars, no puzzles, an emotional experience, decision making. Story driven, decisions have consequences. A dark thriller with a mature ambience evoking themes never used before in a game."

I don't count 12 announcements. A let down really, considering we all knew heavy rain was to be shown. Is there anything more to be announced at leipzig or is that it?

Now I see why MS didn't have a press conference. Sony shouldn't really have had one either, just let the few announcements that there are trickle out over the week. Oh and the 160GB PS3 should have all the features of the original launch 60GB in the states, but oh well.

Yep sony really fails with the number of singstar titles. I thought the PS3 singstar was meant to stop all these pointless iterations, so you can choose your songs. As it is they are just putting off PS2 owners from getting the PS3 and its version of singstar.

The only announcements worth anything to me are:
LBP release date
Heavy Rain
Perhaps the keyboard add on, but then again, I'm pretty fast with the on-screen keyboard and I can just plug in a USB one if needs be.

Sony is Ridicules with creativity and its amazing. If your a troll its a sad day I just cant see how people love to miss out on good things. Just because your a Xbox supporter doesn't mean you cant like everything else. Support your favorite but respect your competitor. You know since you work for Microsoft Sony is your enemy if you don't work for Microsoft get a life. Youth are killing games. Stop it your ruing so much more then you know by acting like a brittany spears fan vs. christina aguilara fan

I'm disappointed that Sony haven't given us any real surprises, it's still early in the week but I wanted something more to get excited about.

Heavy Rain video sounds like fun though.

No HOME release date kinda make you wonder if its giong to be delayed again, because for some reason i doubt they're going to announce it at TGS a country which rarly plays online.

Omega4 you just contradicted yourself. First you say that no home release date means that it's going to be delayed again, then you say that they won't announce the release date because germans don't play online so much? If your second statement is true then they wouldn't have announced it even if it wasn't delayed.

Sony, where is the launch date for my PSP keyboard addon???

I expected it with the 12 announcements. These are dull. All known stuff. Microsoft is smart not having a conference at all if you don't have anything really new to say. Damn you Sony

11 - Question
Do they still keep up the announcements after the first day? Someone told me they might be showing a fighting game and a ninja game. o_o
Either I got tricked,its indoors, or it will be shown somewhere in the next 3 days.

Sony should focus more on games, that's what I bought this GAMING console for, not for TV, not for a keyboard attachment, mass storage or a virtual p*ssycat.

Will there be other conferences from Sony in Leipzig or is that really it?
