Sony @ GDC: Phil Harrison's Keynote
- Thread starter Titanio
- Start date
more on MotorStorm:
This ought to be a good acid test for crowd reaction - apparently a real-time MotorStorm demo is on display. MotorStorm was one of the most controversial of the E3 videos last year, but early reports from our man (yes, it is a man) suggest that there's plenty of mud flying around and dust going everywhere, HDR effects and highly detailed visuals. Hmm, mud-slinging... Wheels leave wet mud trails which are persistent, says Harrison; as they dry out, they change the contours of the ground and mess with your suspension realistically...

Wow, I can't believe they're showing so much stuff! I wonder how Resistance is looking now, vs last E3..
Wow, at the online stuff. Unified login - thank you!!
2:08 - Standard services will be entirely free.
2:09 - third party game servers can connect easily.
2:10 - unified login capable as well as matchmaking, video and voice chat. Friends list. numerous shops where games can be bought. download to hdd.
2:11 - Pay for online products on the network.
2:11 - similar to xbox live arcade.
2:11 - Network starts when PS3 launches in november.
2:11 - SDK for network distributed next week.
2:12 - Messages can be sent while in a game. You can email your friends from within a game.
2:12 - YOu can buy tracks for a Formula 1 PS3 game on the network. Buy new vehicles as well.
"Then the crowd's shown work-in-progress pictures of the network system, with video chat windows overlaid on games - much like the stuff shown at E3, by the sound of it. Emails and so on can be sent without leaving a game, like on Xbox 360. Next up it's online shops within MotorStorm and F1, integrated with the graphical style of those games so that people can download new cars, tracks and so on. There's a lot of Xbox Live esque functionality being shown, including pop-up notification windows."

Lets face it, there's been a dearth of info on the PS3 and it's games so now that stuff is breaking out people are excited. If there's a lone voice repeating "tech demo" it might give people the wrong idea about you. Save it til later I reckon because no matter what you say at the moment people are too psyched to really care.
Personally, I'm gonna wait til that media hits the 'net.

just trying to keep things in a realistic perspective. I will be dissapointed as well if the gameplay is not upto the level of a technical demo

maybe he is so sensitive because you say a thing about ps3
but MGS4 too will be a game, but the demo "move the camera" showed is not indicative of the game
so where titanio read that Warhawk is showed from game and not from a tech demo is a mistery
and no, not a single video of gameplay exist
hope in E3
