363 0

Just a heads up to all of you: The PlayStation.Blog team is in Tokyo this week holding things down at TGS! What this means is our publishing frequency is going to be a little less than usual this week. We’re hoping to get some cool photos, maybe some video and other material from the show that we will in turn share here with you. Until then, hang tight and keep a lookout for something in the near future.

  • radtastical! sixaxis rumble??? :P

  • Come on guys. They have internet in Tokyo. It’s pretty cheap too.

  • Here’s what I want..

    RUMBLE SIXAXIS and MGS4 Demo on the PSN

    that’s all

  • dominate at TGS.

  • I hope Sony comes out with the best showing like E3…was it E3? I don’t even remember. But hey if anyone wants a real game thats definitly more than 7hours of play time…get a PSP and get Monster Hunter 1 or 2…I didn’t get into it too much when I first bought it…but now…wow I can’t put it down!!! I hope they can make games as great as Monster Hunter cuz its not the most spectacular graphics…but i look forward to playing it everytime i pick it up :)

    Oh…seriously tho…what’re you guys gonna do about Halo? I know thats gotta be a bit scary to compete with especially with nothing blockbuster coming out…but then again…Sony didn’t win the last generation just from 1 game…they won from a @h1t load of different games imo. Altho I admit the 360 is getting those variations a bit too…well minus all the FPS that are coming out…can we stop making soooo many FPS? Seriously? Anyway I don’t think the Rumble feature coming back is gonna make people cancel their Halo preorders XD

  • Just an idea.. who thinks the blog team should have their own Podcast?…. That would be pretty awesome. We should all vote for a Podcast, maybe they’ll get excited and do it. Hope Sony is showing some cool NEW stuff at TGS.

  • @88 40cal

    There maybe truth in that 40gig GT bit i posted a comment sayin that GT Prologue would sell consoles if it came in box and it was deleted i wonder WHY?

    @99 nmc75

    nah i dont think RUMBLE and SIXAXIS is a good idea unless they work at seperate times due to the movement the RUMBLE will create interferance with the SIXAXIS.

    @SONY

    Is there any plans to use this electrorheological fluid device technology for the PS3?
    That would be WKD

  • Good luck at TGS. You have had a rough time since Microsoft srung its console a year early and the Wii’s selling like hotcakes.

    As for people complaining about the lack of games, its the result of being an early adopter. Games take time to make, and the PS3 has been out less than a year. Relax.
    As for some of the other features, like in game XMB, rumble, etc., it’s being done. Relax, don’t be so impatient.
    If on the other hand by this time net year oyu aren’t happy with your purchase, then you may be justified in whining.

  • live feed?

  • Sony just isn’t looking out for us like they use to. When we adopted the ps1 over years and years of loyal nintendo and sega owning, we were treated to the 2nd best era in gaming. Sony came thru time and time and time again… PS2, no different. Sony came thru for us.

    PS3… I’m seeing them sit around, get smashed in sales by 360 and wii daily, weekly, monthly and now, almost yearly…

    They’ve done little to solve any of their problems. We still have major issues with the functionality of the system. Some owners can’t even play their HD system on their 1080I hdtv’s… We have a severe lack of content on the PSN. We have some of the worst exclusives ever imagined and we’ve lost 97% of all the good ones.

    Sony has went dead on any and all words of Getaway and Eightdays, along with Afrika

  • Sony then tells us that we need blu-ray and then turns around and has Warhawk, Little Big planet and Soccom for download on the PSN… ???????

  • gamesblow, stop derailing the thread. Those are downloadable games, sure. Blu-ray is needed for games like Ratchet & Clank, which according to the latest Insomniac podcast, they’ve run out of disc space on 1 blu-ray layer. Also, Uncharted can’t be fit on a DVD-9 either.

  • Why compare to dvd 9 at all? I’m talking about full on downloads here. Warhawk isn’t a downloadable only game. It should’ve been 1 or the other. Don’t set consumers up for disaster here… all I’m asking.

    When we see warhawk sitting in store shelves “consumers as a whole, not me” we see it at 60 bucks. We see it sitting in a PSN downloadable content sotre for 40… We get a mixed message. I don’t care who you are.
    Sony needs to say, yeah, this is online, download only. This is not. Warhawk should’ve never, ever, ever hit store shelves… Simple as that.

    It is misleading to the market of blu-ray proponent shoppers and ps3 goers alike.

    Here’s what I want..

    RUMBLE SIXAXIS and MGS4 Demo on the PSN

    that’s all
    …………………………………………………

    yup, me want to rumble. Also some news about firmware 2.0.

  • You know why Sony strings us along with a lack an almost complete lack of answers and half empty promises because most of you forgot your the consumer GIVING them your [DELETED] money. Whats with the begging and pleading. Tell them what you want as there PAYING consumer. If they don’t provide it, don’t buy there worthless overyhyped, under delivering titles let alone the garbage they sell on the PSN.

    Most of you act like cheerleaders. When was the last time you took a cheerleader seriously. I don’t mean your Phd cheerleader either, I mean your bubblegum-snapping-hairtwirling-glazed eyes focused on some indiscernible object in the distance-can’t tell you where the US is on a map type of cheerleader.

    Try to contol yourselves from groveling and snapping up scraps off the floor everytime they throw crumbs this way. Its freaking embarrasing.

  • Rumble would be alright, but when the release it they’d have to release patches for a few of their most importat games to support it.

    Resistace, Motorstorm, Warhawk… quickly come to mind. Lair too, but they won’t even patch the broken controls everyone “but me complains about” so Rumble would be lost on me for awhile… until they got decent games that supported it. Uncharted, R&C, Hotshots 5… none of those will. So, basically… rumble would blow for me. Haze might use it, but I’m not buying it for ps3.

  • Gamesblow, so far I’m with you. The problem is most of these boards are filled with groveling begging consumers. its like they forgot they were the ones giving Sony their money.

    Then there is your cheerleading section. Seriously, when was the last time you took a cheerleader seriously. I’m not dogging cheerleaders, but I am dogging a bunch of gamers cheering a company for doing what it was supposed to do from the beginning, let alone a year later.

    I think Sony is just confused as us simply because we have let up so much on the leash they don’t know where to go. We need to step up as consumers and stop buying there [DELETED]-overhyped- under-delivered- would be-AAA titles and especially that crap they are trying to sell on the PSN.

  • PS3 IS NOT THE ONLY SONY SYSTEM!!!!!!!
    SO QUIT ACTIN LIKE IT

  • Pt. 1) Gamesblow, so far I’m with you. The problem is most of these boards are filled with groveling begging consumers. its like they forgot they were the ones giving Sony their money.

  • @107. Its been almost a year, are you going to hide behind that for another year. I bout my 360 2 months after I bought my PS3’s at launch, at that time the 360 was a year into its life cycle and it had Gears of War and R6V (which is the reason I bought the 360).

    Stop making excuses for Sony, we paid for a product and they need to deliver.

    What was with your comments to Sony. It is an entity that could care less about you. They are not your buddy, they are not your friend and as much as you might think it they are not your parents. This is a business transaction and they are not holding up their end of the agreement.

    Why can’t 2 people play a multiplayer game utilizing 2 profiles when I have the ability to create upto 16 profiles /accounts? Even after a year we still can’t do this. That in itself is proof that Sony has lost its mind, lost its way, and lost its concern about what should matter most, us – the consumer.

  • LAUGHED=12 1/2 years old
    LAUGHED=gay
    LAUGHED=NINTENDO FAGGOT

  • @119. Too funny. When will you fan boys learn your god Sony does not care about you. In fact they probably hate you. So next time you want to come here looking to call someone a faggot look in the mirror first, you’ll be alot more accurate.

  • ih thats nice. Laughed knows that hes cared for his “BIG DADDY” cares for him very very very very well. Now look in the mirro and whose the faggot now?hmmm
    Dont pick fights with me u wont come out unscathed u. Your benightedness is so so typical for u sony haters. U wanna tlk about sony look at the numbers and then well see whose sold more consoles that ne one to date in a span that no one will be able to again except sony.

    P.S. to save u a trip to dictionary.com Benightedness means ignorant

  • @120 oh thats nice. Laughed knows that hes cared for his “BIG DADDY” cares for him very very very very well. Now look in the mirro and whose the faggot now?hmmm
    Dont pick fights with me u wont come out unscathed u. Your benightedness is so so typical for u sony haters. U wanna tlk about sony look at the numbers and then well see whose sold more consoles that ne one to date in a span that no one will be able to again except sony.

  • BUTSLAMMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Have fun:)

  • @120 Laughed – Dude go troll somewhere else you tool bag.

    What’s funny is that when I talk to all my friends who have XBL they tend to compare their content to mine and they first say how we have nothing. In the end they admit that we get damn well service for free!!! I hate it when people compare free to something taht has a price tag on it.

    Lh

  • GOOD LUCK! Shock us and make us proud PS3 owners :D.

    As for laughed, gameblows etc. If you don’t like your system, sell it. Get an xbox or a wii. I personally think the PS3 is just as good. Complain about RSS feeds? where are they on xbox?

    It will take time cause there are things are planning and deployment. You just don’t wake up one day and say “We will offer movies right now”.

    As for warhawk its pretty simple. Its an online game where people are the “AI” so all that usuall extra stuff that goes on a game isn’t quite needed. Its maps, its weapons and textures and then PEOPLE. So in this case that extra 20 bucks is for the headset. If you don’t need it, like me….as I have one….then the 20 bucks saving for a enjoyable game is appreciated.

    As a serious gamer, tell me one good game on the Wii outside of zelda thats worth my money??….oh wait….there isn’t one.

  • im a serious gamer ill tell
    None Including zelda
    0000000000000000000

  • Why can’t people use the forums for all this off topic rant. It has been said several times before – keep the comments on topic. There is no chance in hell that a Sony employee or anybody else for that matter will read comments when 80% of them are: “We need this function right now”, “Sony is bad”, “More games now”, “I want demos of all the coming games for the next 10 years”. How is all this related to the TGS. Comments like “Will there be liveblogging, trailers from the shows” etc. are fine if you ask me.

    This is a blog – the normal and expected behavior for a blog is that you comment on the topic/information posted by the author(s)

    Just my thoughts and please excuse my English – it’s not my native language.

  • Pt 1) Wow, I’m gonna have to make a lot of posts.

    I’ll start from the last and work my way up.

    @127. Interesting you use words like benightedness, but then you act like a retard. Sounds like your over compensating for something. Maybe a gander curiosity you haven’t quite got under control or made terms with.

    @126 I may not own the wii, or be a wii fan, but there numbers are impressive. They may not have a game that is worth your money but there is 10million plus people who just have ot have it. It would be nice if we had this numbers.

    Also, the very problem Sony is having with this system is the very problem your agenda creates. If I don’t like something I am not going to stick my head in the ground and ignore or pretend there is nothing wrong. Thats benightedness. Look I learned a word. Negative criticism breeds change, and the PS3 needs a whole helluva lot of change. So I’ll stick around, and you can take a flying leap. If you don’t like what we, the consumer, have to say then don’t come here.

  • Pt 2)

    @125 Awwww, did I upset you because I said something bad about your precious. Grow up. Your post is a prime example of trolling, while mine was that of a concerend consumer. You and raw can go play tummy sticks and find out what those urges are all out.

    @123. Still questioning your orientation I see. You’ll figure it out one day. Good luck with that.

    @122 What is your brain skipping?

  • Pt 3)

    @121 Raw, if you were so enlightened your first response to me would have carried a different tone all together. Seems like your trying to over compensate for a few things, I wonder what they could be. Your references to a complete strangers preference might be reflective of the inner turmoil your facing. I suggest you seek proper counciling in forums that are structured towards that. Hiding your frustrations here is only going to compund the situation.

    Thats about all the help I can give you, fag.

  • lol. Leave it to this site to bring on the flame war and name calling in under 20 posts.

  • I have slammed SONY in the past but lets give them a chance to blow us away at TGS. If they dont my PS3 is going on ebay. And if your unhappy with your purchase then do what I do, dont buy any games (not hard) and show your dissatisfaction that way.

  • Metal Gear Online to be packed in with Metal Gear Solid 4… so awesome. And the new trailer goes public tomorrow! I can’t wait. Tokyo Game Show is already a win for me so far.

  • I hope you guys are announcing that the rumored Final Fantasy VII: Endless Crisis is being funded by you guys.

  • I like gamesblow and others here on this board love the PS3 but are critical of the ways Sony has been doing things lately. It’s not the end of the world. Honest, valid critisism is necessary in this business, now more than ever. Sony has never been in this position before to this extent….the position of the underdog struggling to catch up. It’s not the same as the PS2 launch, where the only competition (Dreamcast) faded away months after the PS2 launch, leaving the PS2 all alone until the XBox launch. 360 and Wii are here to stay, and they’re both outselling the PS3 by a wide margin.

    I won’t go into the lack of system selling games again. I would also like to see basic improvements to the XMB. Valve just released their new version of Steam for PCs that includes community features that puts the XMB to shame with their very first release. Gamer IDs, in game messaging and chat, game stats….very nicely done. And all without a monthly fee. How much longer before Sony gives us something similar?

  • Final Fantasy VII: Endless Crisis PLEASE!! :D

    Now serious good luck for you guys. Don’t forget the PSN put some videos like MGS4 trailer from TGS07.

  • Believe….

  • Edu, Sony asked me to send you a thank you message for your well wishes. Your support is greatly appreciated and they are going to grant you one feature update of your preference to be available for download tomorrow.

  • I don’t care about the TGS when the PS3 you can’t even log more then one profile in at a time. It’s like a bad joke, your constantly waiting for the horrendous punch line. I’m just afraid the punch line is going to be “Suckers!” as a bunch of short old chinese men point and laugh at me.

    The big announcement at TGS will be that Sony is abandoning the PS3 in lieu of the PS4 which will be out next year.

  • @Laughed

    LOLOL…i can see the little chinese man peeking his head around the corner

  • From the latest Konami MGS4 .mp3 report that went up just a few mins ago:

    Ryan: Sony’s got alot of confidence in the title.
    Shane: Is it in your booth or Sony’s booth?
    Ryan: In our booth we’ll have 40 in Sony’s they’ll have 8…Including a couple units that might surprise you.
    Shane: WHAT?
    Ryan: I’ll just leave it at that.

    DualShock 3 confirmed? Just a bit over twelve hours people..

  • cmon give us home!

  • The way I see it for people who are constantly complaining…why don’t you just sell your PS3 and get the xbox360/wii.

    Maybe that way you’ll stop complaining and if you’ve very lucky you won’t get a dud and be ready to pay up for XBL each year…

    Maybe several years down the road when you become deaf from the loud noises that the xbox360 produces, you may come back to the silent PS3 and enjoy all the past exclusives that you’ve missed.

  • The way I see it you need all the support you can get good and bad.

    Keep telling people “If they don’t like it, leave” and “If your not happy sell it”, then what happens when your install base dwindles down to a paultry 100k users. You’ll have to sell your PS3 as well since all the developers will leave. Lets face it your not getting the greatest games from SOny and we are going to need our 3rd parties but you think they are going to stick around if the majority of the PS3 community jumps ship and gets on the Wii band wagon. I’m close to doing that as it is and this community only solidifies that this might be the only thing to do. In the end, you’ll only have yourselves to thank. For every user you either run off the system or scare off from actually buying it the further you get to what this System should could be and certainly what it should have been.

  • PS: The negativity as you see it will usher in the change this system so desparately needs.

  • well am not going to jump ship & sell my PS3 for a 360 i bought it in full knowledge that it is a work in progress and i had a thought that most if not all games would be delayed new technology takes time to get to grips with but the ball is rolling and will keep rolling all over the 360 it will just take a bit of time (THAT SUX) but its true.
