TGS 2009 - Announcements, News and Rumours

[HiredMan]

It's that time of year again :)

Sony's keynote should be starting in about 5 minutes time, here is a link (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/tgs-2009-sony-keynote-live) to Eurogamers live feed.

Discuss news and announcements in here!

[HiredMan]

Kaz is banging on about a whole bunch of boring shit at the mo, no major announcements yet.....

EDIT: PS3 wand due to launch (northern) spring 2010.

[Slippery]

Talking about the motion controller, going to launch (I assume global?) in Autumn.

[StorminNorman]

Looks like no mention of a "UMD solution" for the PSPGo.

EDIT: Sony just announced a price drop for the Wii.

EDIT EDIT: Wait, I think Nintendo announced a Wii price cut during Sony's keynote.

EDIT III: This stuff about "emotional input" is just embarrassing, Kaz. You're starting to sound like Krazy Ken!

EDIT IV: Looks like Sony's press conference was entirely content-free. Apparently Gran Turismo 5 is "65% complete".

[HiredMan]

Yup, there was literally nothing shown or announced that hasn't been shown or announced before. Biggest news is that the wand is about 6-9 months away.

Meh.


EDIT IV: Looks like Sony's press conference was entirely content-free. Apparently Gran Turismo 5 is "65% complete".Wait, that doesn't add up...... PD take 5 years to complete 65% of GT5? SO this means they will finish the remaining 35% in the next 2 1/2 months for the proposed x-mas release?

[StorminNorman]

I don't think anyone was seriously expecting GT5 to come out this year, to be honest.

Also, that number appears to be from a TGS program book that shows how complete the version being shown at TGS is, so it's possible that it may be an older build.

[RunningMild]

Wait, I think Nintendo announced a Wii price cut during Sony's keynote.

Yo Sony, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish... but I have the best TGS announcement of all time! OF ALL TIME! :p

Seriously, no UMD solution = fail. PSP Go is dead already.

[Stevorooni]

haha so we learned nothing!

Typical keynote

Is GT5 the new Duke Forever?

Seriously what's taking them so long?

[Lazlow]

They took a bunch of notes during a Forza 3 showing, and have gone back to the drawing board.

[Creedy]

Don't forget they have been developing GT PSP as well.

[Blue]

Don't forget they have been developing GT PSP as well.For five years.

So that's ten years for two games. Much better.

[Lazlow]

And here I thought they shelved PSP GT to get GT5 done. >_>

[enrique]

And here I thought they shelved PSP GT to get GT5 done. >_>

They should've shelved PSP GT already to concentrate on GT5.

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Please they were probably just writing down what not to do

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

God now everything on ps3 is getting motion controls, I think I might have to cry.

[Xanafalgue]

The Sony motion-control solution is ridiculous.

[SOX]

As long as they aren't forced I kind of like them, it's something that seperates it from the 360.

They're liveblogging as we speak.

[Lazlow]

Bitch, please :cool:

[Xanafalgue]

I don't understand why they just didn't emulate the Wii Remote design. Afraid of looking too derivative? Hasn't stopped them before.

[Creedy]

Sony's solution is a tad more advanced...

[punkgorilla]

Sony's solution is a tad more advanced...

He was talking aesthetics.

Anyway, where the hell are the games for the motion controller? Why even bother publicly announcing a release date for the controller when they haven't shown a single real game for it? It's beyond a joke.

[Creedy]

ummmm
RE5, LBP, Pain and Flower will support motion controls for a start.

[punkgorilla]

ummmm
RE5, LBP, Pain and Flower will support motion controls for a start.

Any games that aren't at least six months old? Games that have been built for the control?

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Bitch, please :cool:

please bitches

[Stevorooni]

It says RE:5 Director's cut will use the motion thing, so does that mean people would have to rebuy the game?

You'd think they'd release an update for the existing version.

I haven't bought it yet anyway >_>

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

I hope they get rid of the white zombies in the directors cut, I want the true Africa experience.

[RunningMild]

The Sony motion-control solution is ridiculous.

Yeah, that SIXAXIS is really crap, isn't it?

Oh wait, you meant the wand... yeah, that looks pretty stupid too. :p

[Starscream]

EDIT EDIT: Wait, I think Nintendo announced a Wii price cut during Sony's keynote.

No Wii HD announcment. WTF.

[sausage]

Looks like the recession is still on people!

[Watchers]

I wonder if there is a way to ban Creedy from this thread...

[SOX]

He hasn't been bad at all, the fanboy Creedy we all knew and loved has long since moved on.

[Watchers]

Thus far all his posts in this thread are defending Sony.

[SOX]

Meh, I just remember him being a lot worse so it doesn't bother me so much now.

Any news about Street Fighter 4: Second Impact at the show?

[RunningMild]

He hasn't been bad at all, the fanboy Creedy we all knew and loved has long since moved on.

Until someone mentions PCs. ;)

[sausage]

lol sony PC rules consouls are 4 lozzers PC 4 lyfe.

[StorminNorman]
