Sony Press Conference: Stream & Discussion

[Bond]

$400 GB PS3 announced.

God of War III short trailer.

Did I miss anything else? (I got called away to go look at something)

P.S. HOME is looking a lot better, but I am disappointed that the beta isn't in the distant future.

Not really, I kind of fell asleep. Typical Sony conference.

Although, they're getting better. No more Riiiiiiiiiidge Racccccceeeeerrrr.

Home has been out in beta guys. My co-worker has it, although he played it when it first came out so he said it didn't look like much then. That was a long while ago too.

The God of War 3 teaser failed.

I want screens. I want gameplay. COME ON.

That thing in Resistance 2 looked pretty nuts.

MAG looks crazy if they're able to pull it off.

I never saw anything related to LittleBigPlanet and it looked kinda interesting.

The new Ratchet and Clank looks cool. I liked playing Tools.

Then that's not a true beta. A beta, to my understanding, is a near-finished version of the game/content that is in the final testing phase. That being said, HOME shouldn't be near beta.

Hopefully Dyne can clear up this confusion from his experience with TUROK.

Yeah, beta usually just means they're pushing for no more bugs. Alpha means that the game is finally playable with minimal showstopper bugs. You need to register to get alpha status from Microsoft and Sony, or whoever is licencing your game. I think because Home is a different kind of experience, it's probably been alpha for a while.
