Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

Wait, which part is the "big news"?

Nothing from that list makes my eyebrows even raise.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

of course it doesnt

i could have told you that ages ago

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

Hahah, when did I ever personally go against the PS3? Are you slotting me into one of them, now?

In fact, I specifically remember stating that I might start with PS3 instead of the Revolution at one point.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

i didnt accuse you of anything...but i could have told you exactly what your reaction to this would have been, you're far too preditable.

now youve made your point...this is all 'blah' to you...good. im sure some others will be interested...

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

Others could be, but as a possible PS3 purchaser, only the free online intrigues me.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

yes, i believe as much was established in your first post.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

What excites you, then? I'm interested in knowing; you didn't really say anything.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

I'd like to see some ingame footage of a few PS3 titles... now.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

Me too. That would be "big news."

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

realtime PS3 demos
im a big Insomniac / Ratchet and Clank fan, so thats 2 games right there being shown that interest me big time
very interested in warhawk
online network sounds hot...and free

and im glad that they keep on adding new features and functionality to the PSP...that combined with how PSP games are starting to look better and better in quality and quantity, it should provide for a really nice handheld for years to come



*edit*

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

it definitely perked my interest, and sounds fantastic, yet I agree with Dyne... nothing there is really "BIG NEWS."

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

ummm....what did they mean by broadband connection required? I suspect its just to play online since I dont think Sony wants to alienate non-broadband owners from at least using the console.

I mainly just want to see the realtime demo's but graphic's dont make a game great, gameplay does so hopefully these supposed massively uber leet looking games have the gameplay to back it up.

Yes stu, feel free to rip into me also

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

IGN just reported the Playstation 3 will be region free. Awesome.

Re: Game Developers Conference Updates...BIG NEWS!
 

This is big news.

:D
