Hey feel free to use http://www.imagesocket.com/ to host images so we don't get hit with stupid hotlinker images. Thanks. =/

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks Acer, but why can I see them and not you guys?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Probably because they're already in your browser's cache.

How ya doing, buddy?

Cache. You viewed them before copying their address and posting them here. None of us here viewed them before you did. That website must have it so that if the images are viewed off their website it displays that image instead. So yeah, press ctrl + F5 and you'll see the images we see.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Damn, thanks for the insight guys. I've got a fresh batch anyway (not the GAF shots, sorry). I'll edit as soon as they finish uploading.

New Motorstorm Trailer

Slam by Pendulum

Done, thank God for photobucket. Ok, here's some fresh RR7 shots.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, it's a good idea to always refresh your browser after you link any images. Normally that will tell you straight away if they are displayed correctly or not.

But yeah, pretty pics. Also hoping for something truly outrageous tonight, like a CG Raiden appearing and slashing the $599 tag into $499. :/

don't stop now, slash it again!

Here are two photoshopped pics from GAF that can be used to rate whether Sony's conference becomes a success or a dud.





What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sort of price cut?
Woot. IGN confirmation.

According to these guys, the 20gb 'Core' model is going to be recieving a price cut, but this is currently a Japan exclusive. Do we have to wait for SCEA for any word of a U.S. price cut?

Oh, also the inclusion of HDMI in the core model.

Double Post:
HOLY NINJA GAIDEN



I smell DMC4 vs. NG: Sigma

EDIT:
Fixed Pics (i think).

FELIPE NO

Those Motorstorm pics are pretty damn nice. I'd like to see that in action.

As for Ninja Gaiden Sigma... I can't really tell how much better it looks compared to the original. Anyone have any comparison pics?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Sure!

Spoiler:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This seems a bit too good to be true....Unless their strategy was to initially declare a higher price and then drop the price to make it seem cheaper even though it's still the most expensive....I don't quite believe they can add stuff in at the last minute and STILL make it cheaper....

But hey, more power the the PS3 if it is true.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, Sony only dropped the price because retailers demanded them to do so. Sony had set an open price and that made it ridiculously expensive in Japan compared to other regions. So they got a ~$90 price drop on both models and HDMI is present on both the core and premium.

Unfortunately, this not only looks extremely desperate for Sony it also doesn't look like it'll happen in NA or Europe.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Extremely hi-res videos found in, of all places, an X-Box forum.

White Knight Story













Wow.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The Motorstorm pic with the water under the bridge....I didn't know that was in-game. Holy fuck. Glad to see Ninja Gaiden coming over to the PS3 and more importantly, it's nice to know that Team Ninja and Tecmo still have love left for Sony.

So then, the once $500 20GB PS3 will now be lowered to approximately $410 and include HDMI ports. Of course, this is only confirmed in Japan for the moment. That cover the jist of the PS3 keynote?

I was speaking idiomatically.

The keynote was the worst conference yet this year. Basically GAF summed it best as KK "daydreaming." Sure, it all sounds neat, but until any of it gets implemented into actual games, it's just daydreaming, as mentioned before.

However, as if in retaliation to Sprout's impending entry on how "Sony is doomed!", all these nifty trailers and hi res pics started emerging. AND, it sounds like Sony is having another conference in less than an hour.

Shane and Che of EGM/1up told GAF that there were some megaton announcements coming. Let's see if their claims prove true after all.

Things must be looking up. For one thing, the newest Sonic game actually looks GOOD.

EDIT: Actually, it seems what played earlier wasn't even the conference, but a simple keynote. The conference, in which more than a couple of insiders promise "surprise announcements" will start in a couple of hours.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I hate how they've dragged the awesome Sonic 2 credits song into the trailer of the new game. That's rape right there! And that bloody BLAZE from Sonic Rush is in there now. WHERE IS TAILS? ;_; They'll probably have him as the final boss, and he'll be a chainsaw or something.

FELIPE NO

White Knight Story looks simply fantastic, and I have faith in Level 5 to turn out what will be a great experience. They've already shown themselves to have remarkable range in talent, and the improvements between their games are surprising to say the least.

SOLDIER, you have more info on that conference? What news could possibly brighten was one of the worst keynotes around? All the great footage was shown after, he babbled for an entire hour, and many of the games took a nosedive in quality. The ones that got better saw a jaw dropping improvement, however.

A very good piece of news is that the $600 is largely, pointless. The 20GB model has HDMI outputs now, so it's capable of playing HD movies without worrying about ICT issues. That and all the pork (cheesy chrome trim, wi-fi, storage card readers, etc) has been cut, so you're left with the PS3 proper.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Maybe the inclusion of Dreams Come True's ending theme is a sign that Sega is finally returning Sonic to his original form; the non-sucking kind.

Someone make a gif of Sonic breaking the building windows as he runs. That was sweet.

And it's stated but not exactly confirmed that Yoichi Wada of SE will be attending Sony's conference. If this proves true, than there's a 100% chance we'll be getting something good.

Actual news, that's what.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, don't get your hopes up. Wada may simply be attending, that all. Now, if we get word that he's announcing something, then it'll get interesting.

But really, what kind of news?

Exclusivity?
Controller details?
Online network?

WHITE KNIGHT STORY TRAILER GAIS

(The screens don't do it justice)Right Click Here

Screenshots (Way to go Level 5):










I fucking hate Sony. I swear, this lineup stretches well into 2008.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Can someone tell me why the Warhawk trailer is almost selling me on the entire concept of this 600 dollar box all by itself?

And I don't know why anyone is holding their breath for Sonic games in this day and age. Come on boys. You can't STILL think that Sonic Team can pull something good out of their ass these days, can you?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

DAMN I just watched that gameplay video of White Knight Story and I was blown away, I don't care how bad Sony's confrence was. DMC4, MGS4, Motorstorm, and White Knight gameplay videos all gave me one big ass smile. This is how E3 should have been.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Same way I feel. This has literally blown all of that out of my mind. Like Skills said, it's genuinely got me considering a PS3.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I agree wholeheartedly with that. If the E3 vids were this interesting, I might have cared enough to put aside some serious scratch for a PS3 at launch too. But now it is too late!. ;____;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

White Knight is downloading now with 35 minutes left, but the game looks absolutely astounding based on those screens alone.

I wish I could get the exact time one when the "real" conference is starting. I can stay up an extra hour, but no more.

My hopes were dashed with that keynote, but they're quickly rising up again. If Wada at least delivers during the conference, then there will be no more doubts left in my mind that the PS3 will have a bright future ahead.

Most amazing jew boots

Way too late. The PS3's going to be sold out until March, I can feel it in my bones. I'm probably going to go for the $500 model now that it's literally the definitive version (the $600 is now the "tard pack").

BTW, this looked like moving art.

Edit: SOLDIER, take what I put near the trailer to heart. The screens don't do it justice.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, up here in Canadaland it's a slightly different story. Many places are not taking preorders at all, so it would become a camping game if I managed to get a bit of scratch saved up. But as far as places that take preorders go, this shit is LONG gone.

Since the $500 dollar model makes sense now that it's not a compeltely crippled unit, I'll agree that it sounds like the model to get. The lack of HDMI was really the only issue that it had anyway, and that's fixed.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
