so I'm guessing that this new 80gb core pack for 399$ is like the 40gb and doesn' have the ps2 backward compatibility?

So far, the only thing I've seen that was at all interesting was Valkyria Chronicles for the PSP.

Well, God of War 3 is nice to be confirmed, but that was practically a given anyway, and I don't count Multi-console titles (Mirror's Edge)
right now for this.

MAG looks neat in concept but only that, in concept.

No the new 80gb is exactly the same as the 40, just the same price but more storage space.
Oh and i was exited to finally see GOW3 but it was just a damn teaser. I guess it's somewhat too soon expect some gameplay

OMG was that it??????

Besides Valkyria Chronicles; that was useless.

This seems to be the running theme for all three this year.

it was all mostly the same things as the years before. Show off little big planet. Try to get people excited over Home. Now they want to sell shows and movies tonight.

You won't ever hear of backwards compatibility returning because Sony would rather have you purchase and download titles from PSN rather than play what you already have. Such an announcement would have helped them and potentially pushed me into buying a PS3, but alas.

I was expecting something huge from Sony to counter Microsoft's "We got FFXIII too, but only for the lulz" announcement, but the most we got was God of War III and a crying plea to try their dev kit just one more time. Valkyria Chronicles looks hot though, something nice to look forward to for PS3 owners on top of the Eternal Sonata announcement. Everything else just seemed average.

Hi guys! You are all forgetting Ratchet & Clank. I thought that bit looked great. And the giant Shadow of the Collossus-thing from Resistance 2 was cool too.

Better than Nintendo, for what that's worth...

Infamous looks like Force Unleashed + GTA. Honestly, what happened to all the RPGs on the PS. Quite unbelievable to say that I'm getting a 360 for RPGs now.

Oh wait. I thought that Sony said they're going to focus on having ONE SKU which will be the 80GB with everything for $399 (I want to play my PS2 game at [upscaled] 1080p :(). If that the case, then I'll probably (still) go for the $499 version.

I missed the end of the conference around where developers started saying oh hay we love using this system and shit. Did anything besides God of War 3 happen?

The conference was okay but kind of a bit long for what was shown. Why did they even show PS2? Waste. Of. Time. Little Big Planet presentation was pretty awesome though.

at the end they just tried to show off a new mmo call MAG - Massive Action. . . .Gagger?
It was just a cinema as sony trailers always try to hype up their games with. So overall the little big planet was the most interesting part.
So you missed nothing at the end.

wtf is little big planet =[

multiplayer sandbox shit, looks pretty decent though.

Well, I think MAG has potential, anyways. Sounds like it's going to be SOCOM with....230 additional players. Does anybody know what type of game this is? 1st/3rd/7th person view?

All I really heard was 'tactical shooter' :/.

well all they really said was that it was a shooter mmo. My guess is that maybe they'll make it 3rd person but with rpg elements in which your be able to make your character customizable in every way such as speed, strengths in weapons etc. If thats not the case then they better deliver with something especially with what the guy said before the presentation. "Only capable on the ps3' ~_~

Oh and Fat Princess, I started laughing once I saw that. When they thought of the game did they just think that it would be a funny fun game or just a game they pulled out of their ass.
They should have Brought back Team Buddies, that would have been fun.

Hey Sony. Where's my White Knight, fuckers? WHERE IT AT?

Also, Skills, why do video games hate us now? Why can't anything be cool like it was on the SNES and the PSX? Did games stop loving us? Is that why they left? Is it because we did something... wrong?

I'm sorry guys. I diddled my Super Nintendo. It's all my fault. :(

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!*


















*nice things here being a NA release of Terranigma.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT NINTENDO NEVER DID ANYTHING WITH THE EXPANSION SLOT. I FELT SORRY FOR IT. ;________;

DON'T DANGLE YOUR BALLS ON THE CONSOLES, BOUNCEKING! THESE ARE VERY SIMPLE RULES!

GOD, IF ONLY YOU HAD TOLD ME THIS LAST WEEK.

Is the next generation ever going to feel that one. WHOOWEE!

Why does Sony hate the PSone and PS2 so much? :( BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY SO ILLEGAL.

IT'S TO SAVE MONEY FOR YOU, DEAR CONSUMER.

Why hasn't the PSP goodness been mentioned in this thread yet? Also, though it's supposedly cross-platform I'll post this here since it applies to the PSP and there doesn't seem to be much else going on: E3 2008: Apogee returns - News at GameSpot

PSP on the official E3 site: PSP Games at E3 | E3.net However, I heard several places that the Sony presentation mentioned a Resistance title on PSP, as well as Patapon 2, Loco Rocco 2, Gran Turismo (not my style-especially can't see running endurance races on a handheld!!), etc. The PSP is #1 in Japan now. With a lack of good times comin' our way from the big boxes, it seems like '09 is the year for the little boxes to rock.

Also, BG&E 2? How can this be bad? http://www.e3.net/games/?game_id=84
