Howw the hell is this SONY's fault? Come on, gamers these days are so damn fickle and have extremely short memories! I mean does anyone remember CoD4 release day? How bout Warhawk? Or what about Halo 2? These things happen and all we as gamers can ask is that these companies learn from these mistakes, fix them in a timely manner, and possibly throw us gamers something free for our troubles (hear that Slant6 some free downloadable content would be nice)

If this was Isonamic and this happened I would be more upset, but it's Slant6! I played Socom all day and night tuesday with no problems whatsoever! The mic (which SONY IS PRACTICALLY GIVING AWAY) sounds amazing and works perfectly.

I am personally brand new to the Socom series and I for one am very impressed and really into this type of tactical gameplay. THE SOUND IN THIS GAME IS AMAZING!

Patients people give these developers a damn chance and if you are unsatisfied then do yourself a favor and DON'T BUY THE PRODUCT! Whinning on the internet is by far the dumbest thing you could do! View

I think it will be LBP that actually helps Home become a hit (if it becomes a hit at all). Everyone is really just sinking there teeth innto LBP and making there own levels, being creative and interacting with eachother so much that I think it could have a very positive effect on Home. I think the success of LBP will just make gamers that more interested in Home. One thing we can say is that the LBP Home combo is looking to be a huge hit. Could really turn the tide of the entire console race as we know it, neither MS or Nintendo have a game to match it.

We'll see though, the next few months are going to be amazing on all fronts which is great for all of us! View

Great for MS!!! You sold out a couple thousand consoles! Wake me up when it's a couple hundred thousand sold out!

Facts people:

Wii has/is selling out SINCE LAUNCH! Since when is a couple thounds consoles sold really produced a winner in these console wars?

I'm glad they aren't sitting on store shelves but MS AND SONY need to get there asses back in the game because the rate they are selling consoles in Japan is embarresing! View

All of these points are heavily reliant on your opinions and personal points of view.

But ONE MAJOR POINT I WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS: "History repeats itself. This is the reason a wise man knows it. The system that gets its development tools into game developers' hands first will win."

This one statement disqualifes the author of any and all credability! WHY? Well becasue it's clear that the 360 IS NOT WINNING as of right now. Nintendo is the one who is completly crub stomping both Sony and MS! I am no Wii fan (even though my son can't put the damn thing down!) But it's just THE TRUTH! As of right now both Sony and MS are fighting for 2nd place.

With that being said I strongly feel that Sony is holding the ultimate trump card in terms of tapping into some of Nintendo's fanbase. Little Big Planet is really becoming a real monster of a game and it's aimed at both hardcore and novice video gamers. It's brand new and neither MS or Nintendo can really duplicate it. Well see how well it does worldwide but I'm really starting to think MS is feeling the heat this game is making. GeOW2 and R2 trump eachother but what trumps LBP? View

I really don't see a need for MS to add-on anything much less a bluRay drive at this point. What are they to gain? Not much really, if it's not standard in all there consoles then it will not benifit the 360 at all. If you want a BluRay drive in tandem with your console purchase a PS3.

These rumors aren't really even news, could we put this to rest already............

/sigh TGS so far has been very dissapointing from all sides View

Not for totally messing up my hype for FF13 but for waiting so damn long to announce it. I wish they would have just made it multiplatform from the start! That is what really REALLY get me pissed about all this. SQUARE SAID: ONLY ON PS3 SQUARE SAID: ONLY POSSIBLE ON PS3!!!!

Now we are going to get a gimped version of the game, which is truly sad. Why not make an exclusive game seperate from FF13for 360 owners and STAY ON COURSE WITH FF13 for PS3 owners?

Square needs to realize most of us gamers are not stupid and we see the damn dollar signs. We realize you need to turn a profit but can you at least make your money without treating your customers like damn fools? WE DESERVE BETTER!!!!!!!!

Hell who really knows when the hell FF13 is coming out now? If we all (meaning all gamers PS3 360 and wii owners) learned anything from this it's that these game makers aren't going to be up front with us hell it may be 2011 before the damn game comes out AND THAT IS A DAMN SHAME! View

I love Killzone 2, I will be playing day 1 with the rest of you. BUT that wasn't explosive the PSN online multiplayer video was damn impressive. This was really mild manner compared to it, and I absolutely HATE youtube videos, the quality sucks feels like I'm watching TV under water! Killzone2 FTW View

The one major thing that annoys me the most from these keynote speeches (from all game companies) is that we always have to hear about how "well" these consoles/games are selling. Seriously I don't care! I NEVER cared! Just show us the damn games and the sales will come! Honestly who really believes this anyways? Every company is only goning to tell you they are selling great, I mean who is going to hold a press confrence and say "sales are down 62%" View

They remind me of a insomniac with they way they churn out quality game after quality game. I will definetly reward them with my money great job Level 5! View

what are you talking about? View

I could careless if the game is exclusive or not but what has catch my eye is the positive words Konami has express about the PS3 hardware:

Masashi Tsuboyama, chief director, answers some questions in the latest Electric Shock magazine. Here are the points of interest:

Konami and the team behind Silent Hill have looked at the current consoles and concluded they all have limitations that hamper their ideas for the game and delay progress. Except the PlayStation 3.

No multiplatform plans as of yet. But the sales of PS3 are slow so they may have to reconsider later on down the road if things appear dismal. Which of course means delayed progress and not taking advantage of the PS3's power.

Tsuboyama claims Blu-ray will be a very necessary asset in their development of the game.

The PS3, he says, is tough to work with, but when they get used to it, the processing power will be far beyond the other consoles. View

I bought it for my kids today, they are having fun with it right now. I think the problem with this review is simply this game wasn't made to be played by hardcore gamers. I don't see why anyone should bash the Wii, my 4 year old son and 5 year old daughter simply love the Wii, they have fun they get alittle exercise and I don't have to worry about being bothered while I'm playing R:FOM online. sounds like a win-win to me ^.^ View

First off the comments in the newsstory are very very dissheartening and really goes to show that the maturity level of this site as a whole is really something to be laughed at.

My take on this technology is simply too much too late. Within a few months people will have this technology in the palm of their hands with apples Iphone. It's 2007 and and people are on the go. Why sit down at a coffee shop or bar and share pictures and videos, touch a screen in which other random people have been using all day? When you can be on the move handling business all the while having this technology in the palm of your hand to use at your will.

600$ for portable technology

or a couple $1000 (at least) for stationary technology

Seriously it's like microsoft just can't catch up to apple when it comes to innovation, marketing, and design. I would be so curious to see an apple designed console hit the market next generation. It would be nice for apple to incorporate the ipod, itunes, iphone, appleTV ect. into a console that plays great games. View

I think these statements from Nintendo are way off-base. The reason I think this is becuase the Wii is not really after the same market as both 360 and the PS3. Sony is taking more of a future proof approach aimed at the HD customer and future HDTV buying customer. Wii is simply looking for the customer thats really wants to play fun games with a "family" type of experience.

Neither is wrong but it's all about what suits us "the gamer"

Either way it's just way too early in the console generation to pick a winner especially when E3 is in July and the overall winner at that event will "most likey" have the best chance to win in the up coming 07 holiday season. View

A update for any console will never increase sales UNLESS, positive word of mouth is spread to existing customers friends but that would not make a large increase to sales.

If anything it just keeps your current customers happy

I think it's just a weird question to ask because I'm sure Sony didn't release the update to sale more consoles in the first place View

I know this E3 will be mostly about Halo 3 vs. Killzone 2 but I'm much more interested in finding more details and videos of Little Big Planet. The more I see of LBP the more I'm impressed by the game.

I hope E3 lives up to the hype which means all three companies NEED to have a HUGE showing.

The presssure is on and as far as I'm concerened this console race starts when this years E3 starts. View

Me and my brother both missed out on the beta, this is one game we have both been looking forward to for a very longtime. I can't wait til it gets released I'm sure it will be a blast to play. Congrads to everyone who got in the beta GAME ON! View

Thank you ^.^
Adriokor and Mr Playboy

for the kind comments, there may indeed be some hope for this site.
GAME ON

Oh and if you read his comment section you find a few nice points of interest like

720p 4xAA at 30fps is our stated aim

Release date is set by Sony… Its fairly soon and are working our butts off to make it as good as we can by that date. Hopefully various bugs and things like abrupt transitions and FPS will be smoothed out by then.

Its a bit of both… Depends on the demo and other things. For example for E3 2005 and 2006 the main team did the work and essentially worked 100% on polishing and making it fit for viewing by the public.
However if you take the PSN demo we are currently doing, then we have a separate team (borrowed from Sony Cambridge) who are doing the work to make it a stand alone demo while the NT team are working on Beta. There’s still work for the main team fixing bugs and balancing but its much less than full time.

and

Balancing a game like HS isn’t easy…

As a counter point I know of at least two bugs in the bug db that without a cheat its impossible to complete some sections

Theres a formation system that tell the enemies when to attack and what ‘grombo’ (group combo move) to do. That has simply been turned way down for the demo’s I suspect.

By the time it ships it should be the right level of difficulty.

Comment by Deano — May 22, 2007 @ 6:00 pm

Your hear lots more about Kai soon enough I expect.

You should only see ‘loading’ at the beginning of a chapter, all the rest is async loaded in the background. Of course ironing out the stutters and load pauses is one of the things we are working on at the moment.

enjoy

*** Demo coming real soon *** View

Seriously is THIS NEWS? Since when has an update saved anything? Not that the PS3 needs saving, thus far PS3 is selling the same numbers both PS1 and PS2 did at this respective times in each consoles lives. View

BD 1080p 24 Hz Output (HDMI)

Now if you are lucky enough to have a HDTV that supports 1080p24fps, you will be able to view Blu-ray discs the way they were intended. This is terrific news for PS3 owners and overall Sony has done a terrific job with their latest update. Probably makes the PS3 the best Blu Ray or HD DVD player on the market. View
