Sony Gamer's Day 2008 (May 6, 2008)

[deepbrown]

I should have realised Mirror's Edge would be there, due to it being on the related games on the Playstation sites original report of the event...

 

[deepbrown]

So Motorstorm 2, Killzone 2, Haze, Mirror's Edge, LittleBigPlanet, Socom, Wipeout, two new Eyetoy games, Pixel Junk Eden, and Home. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=137062

Should be pretty good.

Ah... excellent. We wouldn't want a repeat of GDC. It's nice to have more than one anyhow, just in case one blogger decides that some information isn't relevant or important in his opinion, or if one of them misses something.

edit: oh... photos with this blog. How nice.

Eurogamer are having technical issues last time I looked. If your gaming news is time critical head somewhere else!

EDIT: They're back up and running it seems.

Joystiq also has a live blog.

GAF has a thread up for this. You'll find screenshots and insiders'/journalists' comments in it (e.g., Games on demo floor, KZ2 playable) : http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=291427

Is this a different Hirai? Apologises for the delay of Home and acknowledges the difficult first year for PS3.

Is it just me or is only the gamespot feed auto updating?

Seems eurogamer is having issues again. The joystiq blog requires F5.

 

[Diamond.G]

Ah, MyBuzz sounds cool. It sounds like the Wii's question thing (I forget what is is called).

Yup, it is. As it Eurogamer's (or at least it's meant to be!).

 

[deepbrown]

This looks like an ingame image to me...

[Diamond.G]

Seems like KZ2 isn't coming out till next year. I thought it was this year?

 

[slider]

Yeah me too. The plant-life/foliage is so reminiscent of Zarch. God, I'm showing my age.

 

[AlNom]

[strike]I don't think any release date (tentative even) was ever mentioned. Chalk it up to rumours created by the fans. [/strike]

edit: nevermind, SCEA announced it at E3 last year. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/803/803256p1.html

Yep looks completly ingame.

Killzone 2 Feb 2009.

Glad to see it not competing with Resistance 2.

Insomniac put out 3 games, before Gurilla put out 1. *face palm*

 

[deepbrown]

Yep looks completly ingame.

Naturally - it may include bullshot techniques (higher AA, higher res) but def in engine. And if so really like the look of the foliage.

"Motorstorm Pacific Rift will have 16 brand new tracks, twice as many as the last outing. We're shown the new vegetation technology, which is there to be bent, broken and crushed. Only the larger vehicles can destroy it, so smaller vehicles have to avoid it or follow larger vehicles."

Nice...interactive foliage! Woo hoo!

The motion-blur may make it look smoother but otherwise I dont see anything hinting it may be a bullshot.
