I'll pop this up in advance. Most of the stuff will probably get posted in their respective game threads, but this can serve as a general TGS chatter thread for all things Sony.

I actually think TGS is going to represent a big turning point for Sony. It's going to get people excited about the PS3. Games like MGS4, DMC4 and NG are going to make people sit up and take notice.

It'd be about time Sony got some good press.

MGS4 gameplay pics,

Nice but its still not gameplay footage which is really all anyone gives a crap about now... STill it will be nice to get an idea of how the actual gameplay is looking... PLEASE GOD USE A 3d CAMERA from the start and dont leave it for a SUBSISTENCE release :mad: Although I do guess I wont be getting PS3 for quite a while and by the time I do a MGS4 - SUBSISTENCE release would be out... :)

Ninja Gaiden Sigma,

At the moment it only seems to be a port of the Xbox game with some extra content and levels. Plus its not confirmed if its a PS3 exclusive or not.

I want NINJA GAIDEN 2 anyway :mad:

Evangelion game and White Knight announced exclusive for the PS3.:woot:

Evangelion = awesome :up: Although there has yet been a decent game based on the licence.... All of them have been very very very bad games indeed :(

meh when microsoft shows HALO 3, it will own the PS3 and its entire TGS line-up.
I think perhaps you're setting your sites a little high for Halo 3.

Either way, why do you feel the need to bring Microsoft into this thread? It's the Sony TGS thread. Go talk about Halo 3 over in the appropriate forum.

This is for discussion of Sony's presence at TGS, not Microsoft's.

So just ignore Topdawg. He always makes wild statements.

And again, I think people are overestimating Halo 3. I'm sure graphically it will be very nice, but it won't be anything too innovative. There's only so far you can take a shooter.
The Xbox's hardware limitations and their impact on Halo 2 was incredibly obvious. You could tell what Bungie wanted to do, but there just wasn't enough headroom. On the 360, they'll be able to take the series to the next-gen level, so I think it will be great.

Rag Doll Kung Fu Vets Craft PS3 Title
Fresh fun is brewing from an upstart UK studio.
by David Adams
September 21, 2006 - New independent game developer Media Molecule announced today that it is creating an "original and innovative" title for the PlayStation 3. The UK-based studio, whose team members worked on titles such as Fable, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Rag Doll Kung Fu, is working with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe on the new game.

"SCEE have proven to be the perfect partner for us," said Media Molecule Technical Director Alex Evans. "They immediately understood both our ambition for the game as well as our development style. I think it is fantastic that a massive company like Sony has the vision to see that a smaller outfit can create a world class game. Even after 6 months of working together, we're beginning to create something very special for PS3."

While the studio isn't announcing details of the game just yet, it is confident that a relatively small developer can still make exciting games.

"Working together on Rag Doll convinced us that a focussed and efficient team had the ability to deliver exciting and innovative content," said Mark Healey, the studio's Creative Director. "The ambition for Media Molecule is to take that a step further and prove that a small (20 plus) and passionate team can deliver a world class, triple A, next generation product. Sometimes the very unwieldiness of a massive team renders it much less efficient."

For those that still give a damn...

-The conference talks about GMS - aka GLOBAL MAPPING SYSTEM - which helps developers gather information from their games without having to make a trip, apparently. Needs lots of participation to "work", says Kutaragi.
- Sony announces that PS3 will host small videos and large videos, some sort of youtube-esque setup for users. Uhm, I guess.
- Sony announces that MEGADRIVE and PC ENGINE games will be available for download on PS3.
- Trailer reel of E3 FFXIII footage, Virtua Fighter 5, Afrika, Gundam and Ridge Racer 7.
- That's... basically it. Dead serious. :o

Man, Microsoft could have just shown Lost Odyssey and their conference would have been better than that. I'm most likely getting a PS3 (Wii first - cheaper and it comes out 2 days after PS3) but as for the conference itself, on Sony's home turf, it wasn't really that special. I think Sony is looking forward to the gaming floor to show what they're capable of so they didn't do much with the conference (although having certain games in the spotlight would have helped immensely - at least they had a popular game mentioned and with a video - FFXIII).

Conference was supposed to be just about the network. Not the games.

They did call the talk "PS3 - Creating the next generation of computer entertainment"

And he barley talked about the network. The few things he did mention were stupid statements like this...

Now he's talking about the concept of the Network Computer - proposed by Oracle a decade ago, but the network was too slow, and computers weren't powerful enough. Under this system, much of the computing power is on the other side of a network connection - he believes that this is now possible due to the development of powerful computers and servers, and internet infrastructure.
OH MY GOD! NETWORKS ARE FASTER NOW THAN THEY WERE A DECADE AGO!!!!111!!?????1?! HOLY **** DUDE! :eek: :o

He's talked a lot about networks, but he says he's not happy yet with the quality of network services that are on offer. The reality is still that services are unreliable.

Even using the fastest speed connections, network services haven't reached the internal bus speed of the original PlayStation of 12 years ago. It will still take time to realise the dream of real-time video and so on - perhaps in ten years time, this will be real.

Therefore, while the gaming hardware in PS3 may be called overkill, this hardware is necessary.
Its necessary? he just said that its not needed.

Alot of talk about other networks and what Ken thinks of Networking but very little on the actual SONY NETWORK. Announcing video downloads on the Network (something that was announced months ago) is hardly big news for an important confrence like this.

Sony cuts PS3 price in Japan
Friday 22-Sep-2006 10:20 AM PlayStation boss Kutaragi announces 20% slash for Sony's next-gen console in Japan

Sony announced today that it will slash the price of its forthcoming PlayStation 3 by 20% in Japan, heating up competition against next-gen rivals Microsoft and Nintendo.

Sony will cut the Japanese price of its basic PlayStation 3 model from 59,800 yen (£270) down to 47,600 yen (£215), putting the console in the same price range as an Xbox 360 with HD-DVD add-on, which Microsoft recently announced will be hitting The Land of the Rising Sun on November 17 for 19,800 (£89).

Speaking at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi said that the price cut was in response to customer complaints that the PlayStation 3 was too expensive. However, according to Sony spokeswoman Nanako Kato, there are no plans to lower the price of the PS3 in the US or Europe, and SCEE were unfortunately unavailable for comment when contacted.

Advertisement:In further good news for Sony fans, the company also announced that both models of the PS3 will now ship with HDMI cables, which the company previously said would not be included with either the basic or pricier 60GB model.

The price-cut announcement comes hot on the heels of Microsoft's own TGS revelations, that it will update the Xbox 360 firmware to enable 1080p output, and of course launch the much-touted HD-DVD add-on, matching Sony's console in the tech-department.

The price-cut news could bring some much-needed positive buzz for the PlayStation 3, which had a lacklustre showing at this year's E3 show and recently saw a delay in Europe to March next year.

We'll let you know if Sony decide to spread their price-cut over to this side of the world

sheesh how come everything costs nearly twice as much in england. i mean at those prices they'd fly of the shelves. i surpose VAT would take it back up. 215 +21.5 + 10.75 +5.36 = 252.61
At £215, the PS3 would completely obliterate any competition here in the UK. The other consoles wouldn't even be in with a chance.

Instead, we launch at £425!

that's the price of the 60 gig version. but i'm not sure if they are even selling the 20 gig version in the UK. i can't find the price anyway. still time for change this could be part of some scheme of making the PS3 seem better value. i could go for the 20 gig one myself then just up the harddisk to 200gig for less than £100. the harddisk would be worth it all the same. still time to know more but i'm hedging my bets on europe getting screwed again.

TGS 2006: Sony Developing 100 PS3 Titles
Next gen system taking most of company's resources.
by Anoop Gantayat
September 22, 2006 - If you were wondering just how big Sony's game development studios have gotten in the 10+ years since the release of the original PlayStation, you only need to hear this bit of news. Phil Harrison, head of Sony Worldwide Studios, revealed to Japanese site Famitsu.com today that the company's vast array of international studios now has around 190 titles in development for the PlayStaion 3, PlayStation 2, PSP and other systems.

That's a whole lot of games, especially considering how many games currently bear the Sony Computer Entertainment name on release charts in the likes of Famitsu.

Of the 190 titles, Harrison disclosed that 100 are for the PlayStation 3. Sony's focus has clearly shifted to the new generation of gaming.

Famitsu also asked Harrison to share the World Studios title that he most recommends. Harrison cited Resistance as a game that's getting lots of attention in the US and European markets. He also noted that Level 5's White Knight Story is getting attention throughout the world.

The Famitsu interviewer mentioned a personal interest in Sony's mysterious Afrika title. To this, Harrison responded, "Afrika is a perfect example of a game that expresses the crossing point of real and virtual."

We're still not sure what the game is all about, but we're getting more and more excited.
