Gamescom 2010 : General Discussion

* Blu-ray Managed Copy (Nov ?)

They still don't have that? Hasn't that been a rumored "coming soon" feature ever since PS3 launched?

Hmm ? Managed Copy specs was not finalized until late last year. The same for movies supporting Managed Copy. There is no "coming soon" for any Blu-ray player before then.

The studios have their own digital copy mechanisms so far. Or some bought PC software to rip their Blu-ray movies.

It'll be a disaster. Any one with half a brain will be using other means to make BR copies.

What time is the GT5 conference ?

Crysis 2 sandbox editor + 3D

Fascinating ! Is the editor available to the end users ?

What I don't like:

all these teaser trailers only so far!
I hope we get some stuff seeing actual extended gameplay footage as well!!

BTW, what's up with Xbox360?
I missed the MS conference...was there an announcment of a new exclusive?
What was shown?

 

[patsu]

I read that there was no MS keynote per se ?
[size=-2]I'm reading through Sony conference "live" blog now[/size]

EDIT:
Some interesting numbers:
...
James Gallagher: PlayStation 3 Global sales more than 38 million, 16 million in EU.
James Gallagher: Software sales have increased by 38 per cent.
...
James Gallagher: We're now onto PlayStation Network. PS3 has a connection rate of over 70 per cent.
...
[PSP]
James Gallagher: 62 million have been sold worldwide.
James Gallagher: More than 3 million Digital Comics have been downloaded.
...


The 38 million sold units and 70% connected rate imply that Playstation Home should work harder/smarter (even though they may be profitable). ;-)

Aren't you there already ?

Try LBP2 and GT5 for me, my friend.

I think 3D and PS Move I need to experience/internalize them personally. T_T

I will try my best to test out or see as much games as possible
I will be there at Friday and Saturday...
I already have a games list of one kilometer length or so, which I want to test/see...I admit that I am excited like a little kid and I cannot wait
(only 2 times sleeping left)

Hm, ok...so what Xbox360 games are hot at the moment!

I want to see HALO Reach of course!, I know that Gears of War 3 will unfortunately not be shown at all....and I already experienced Kinect!

But I have the feeling that most multiplatform games will be shown on Xbox...

 

[messyman]

Does anybody know when's the MS conference or did I miss it?
Thanks.

 

[Billy Idol]

Nooooooooooooo....just learned that KZ3 is only shown to journos with special invitation

I completely forgot about Fable 3:

I loved Fable 2, so I am looking forward to it!

EDIT: BTW, the footage looks sensational!!!

Microsoft doesn't have a proper conference afaik, just that exclusive play session/presentation thing they had for four hours yesterday, where journalists could have group interviews and such.

The link in my previous post is a bungie interview. Still fun to watch.
Where ma Codename:kingdom?

We still get 4 days left then we have to wait for either pax or TGS for more info on future release.

 

[patsu]

Ha ha, so is the GT5 presentation over ? I'm most interested in it because so far its feature list is like a mirage.
