Can someone post a quick summary?
I think they're going to spend more time on this book thing than Vita...
please go into God of War. The juxtaposition might redeem this.
They must have said JK Rowlings name more than neededthey probably paid an assload to do so
we're past the halfway mark. this has been dire so far.
Nintendo will save us all.I hope Nintendo presents a carbon copy of that wonderbook thing.
why is last of us like uncharted except with no shooting (so far)? Why make a new IP if it's just going to remind me of your last IP youv'e worked on for the past three games?
ellen page with the epic stab :oPretty sure Sony has her hooked up to motion capture and locked in a basement somewhere. Her acting in that first game? blunt object to the head.
So you barge in on a group of guys that are trying to find some supplies, choke one of them out and brutally murder all of his friends, and they're the bad guys ???

I thought Last of Us was shittttt hottttt. I've never been this excited by any Uncharted. Definitely a much better game to close a conf than Ops2.
shut up Muggle
semi-serios question: Why wasn't PSP/Vita just called 'PlayStation Mobile' from the fucking get-go? It's perfect.
(i know the answer btw and i know that Mobile will be rebranded again before it ever matters, just sayin')
These are all coming for free:
inFamous 2
LittleBigPlanet 2
Saints Row 2
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One
Just Cause 2
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine
Virtua Fighter 5
Sideway: New York
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
And a couple more.
But when? All at once tomorrow? Or one a month?
The only thing that worries me with TLOU is when they first showed the trailer it had the promise of more traversal exploration (always my favorite parts of UC) over shooting things.
As we've seen it since a bigger focus has been shown of lots of combat situations I was hoping ND were going to be brave and instead of having us be a hard nut who can shoot and choke out people you would be using confronting people as a very last resort also way too many guns I thought. Looks like ND backed away from having exploration being more at the forefront and instead we have to have some action beats or people will say the game has no action.

Quality looks like something Madcatz would make, not Sony.
Two of Japan's top game creators came away from Sony's E3 press conference today with high praise for one game in particular.
Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima and Platinum Games' Atsushi Inaba took to Twitter following the conference to share brief praise for the last game shown at the event, The Last of Us.
Said Kojima: "'The Last of Us' was, of course, amazing. The first time I've wanted to play a game in a while." In a subsequent Tweet, he added "As a creator, The Last of Us demo crossed beyond envy and brought me delight. It brought out the desire to create again. Thank you."
Wrote Inaba: "I have no idea how it's being controlled, but this expression for something interactive is absolutely amazing! Naughty Dog is too amazing!"
I saw a game that It hoguht was Bully 2 in the sizzle reel. It had a black school kid in it as the main character
That was Papa y Yo.
"They have no idea what they are doing"
Sorry I just got back from work. Judging by the lack of threads on NeoGAF, just WHAT did they fill that hour with!?

Apparently there are like 30 vita games on the show floor. Why they opted to not talk about them in lieu of 20 minutes of teaching kids to dispose of paper by lighting it on fire is beyond me.
He's Japanese, not Latka from Taxi
Maybe they are shite?
Could be, but a big pile of shite would still be better than deafening silence.

If Japanese developers are dumb enough to support a dead system, they deserve to die with it. Unless Sony is handing out cheques - that's smart money, and I'm not about to give them stick for that.
The big daddy in playstation allstars probably counts as the bioshock game for vita.
Vita is the best hardware on the planet that sells the worst. Why? Even PSP sold much better.
Frankly,Vita looks like another PSPGo to me.
If you own a Vita, you have our sympathy. Sony's E3 2012 conference was expected to focus heavily on its ailing handheld; there would be announcement after announcement, surely, in a bid to revive the fortunes of a console which, in its native Japan, is regularly outsold by its predecessor PSP. Instead Sony announced a fighting game we knew about last month, outed a spinoff already revealed by Game Informer, and slapped a subtitle on the Call Of Duty game they announced last year.
To be fair, SCEA president Jack Tretton went a little further than that. Vita will soon play host to the PSone classics that have been available on PSP for years, while a DLC update will let you use its touch controls on PS3's LittleBigPlanet 2. "The Vita portfolio is growing every day," Tretton insisted, "to offer something to every gamer." Okay then.
Speaking of false promises, David Cage was there, announcing Beyond for PS3. "Over the past 15 years Quantic Dream has developed unique games based on interactive storytelling and emotions," he said. "With Heavy Rain and Kara we showed how realtime 3D could be used to create even more emotional experiences." Beyond has some interesting ideas, anyway, with players controlling Jodie Holmes, played by Ellen Page, in a tale which spans 15 years. "We will lead the life of a character," Cage said, "growing with her through happy and difficult times to help her become who she is." He praised her "stunning performance" ahead of a realtime demo in which she sat stock still and said four words. It's a step up from Heavy Rain in visual terms, with full performance capture, but as always with Cage's work we just want to see how interactive it is. Pressing X to Juno won't cut it.
Then came PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, now confirmed for Vita, with cross-platform play and two new characters: BioShock's Big Daddy, and Uncharted's Nathan Drake. It's easy to scoff at the game, but developer SuperBot Entertainment has packed its staff with competitive fighting game players and clearly knows what it's doing. At this stage, though, it's hard to shake the impression that this is Sony Smash Bros with super combos.
Tretton said Battle Royale's cross-platform play was a unique feature that could only be done on "the industry's best online network," which is apparently now an acceptable way to describe PSN. He hailed the fact that 80 per cent of PS3s and Vitas are connected to PSN, which we were sure was rebranded as SEN a few months back, but it seems Sony has given up on that as well.
One thing Sony hasn't given up on is indie gaming, and the rapturous applause for the merest mention of Journey was more than justified. Dyad, Papa & Yo and The Unfinished Swan are on the way, all on PSN, which Tretton said will host more than 200 downloadable new releases over the coming 12 months. PlayStation Plus is on the up, too: there was no mention of the reported cloud gaming deal which would bring streaming backwards compatibility to PS3 and Vita, but there will be 12 free games for US subscribers on the store today, including LittleBigPlanet 2, Infamous 2, and Saints Row 2. More games will be added all the time, Tretton said, but Europe tends to get short shrift on this stuff, as a thousand angry PlayStation Blog commentors will attest.
Then came the big guns, or at least, what should have been the big guns, starting with Call Of Duty on Vita. "A triple-A, firstperson multiplayer shooter in the palm of your hands, with dual analogue sticks and seamless online connectivity," parped Tretton, revealing a name - Call Of Duty Black Ops: Declassified - and little else. Assassin's Creed Liberation certainly looks the part, and giving the starring role to an Afro-French female assassin is a brave and welcome move from Ubisoft, but both games reinforced the feeling that Vita was headed the same was as PSP, with endless spin-offs from blockbuster franchises farmed out to B-teams. The required avalanche of firstparty software support was simply nowhere to be seen, and it speaks volumes that Liberation will be bundled with the new crystal white Vita. Sony has nothing else.
Attention then turned to PS3, and time seemed to slow to a crawl as we were subjected to extended gameplay demos, starting with Far Cry 3's co-op mode. Four players stood, with heads bowed and feet shoulder-width apart, for ten minutes, looking like an animatronic boy band whose batteries had run out. Assassin's Creed III's nautical battle scene looked great, but like Far Cry 3 it's a multiplatform game, its inclusion here justified by some exclusive DLC and, in Creed's case, another hardware bundle. How unexpected that Ubisoft, following its own event that closed with the intriguing Watch Dogs, would be not only the star of the show so far but also of Sony's conference.
Andrew House seemed to have drawn the short straw backstage when he appeared to talk first about a smartphone deal with HTC - best read as a tacit admission that Sony Ericsson's handsets are terrible - and PlayStation Move. Wonderbook, though, is a decent idea that should do well thanks to a deal with JK Rowling, whose Book Of Spells will be first on shelves. The PlayStation Eye seemed as flakey on stage as it does in the living room, sadly, making for an awkward demo, but we're not the target audience. Is setting fire to a book, putting out the flames with your hands and wiping soot from its pages fun? We're not sure, but the volley of on-screen disclaimers hardly engendered confidence. Hats off to Sony London Studios' Dave Ranyard for dropping the evening's finest truism, expressing his surprise that the increasingly leaky Sony had managed to keep a lid on it all.
Then came God Of War: Ascension, which began in earnest Sony's psychological experiment to see just what a room full of people will rapturously applaud if you keep them sat there for long enough. There was no footage of the series-first multiplayer mode, with game director Todd Pappy instead playing through another ten minutes or so of God Of War's decade-old square-square-triangle combat. The same as ever, then, with the bonus niggling sense that they'd stripped back the HUD for the demo and there'll be many, many more QTEs in the final game. Applause.
Then, at last, came The Last Of Us, which at first glance appears to be as profoundly linear as Naughty Dog's Uncharted games but does things a little differently, with improvised weaponry and genuine tension as the two protagonists inched through a derelict house packed with bandits. Joel slammed an enemy's face into a sideboard, to troublingly rapturous applause. At the demo's end, he took a foe's head clean off with a shotgun, and the crowd went wild. Tretton: "There's another mindblowing example of the incredible talent at Naughty Dog."
And that was your lot. No true surprises, no grand new announcements, no disruptive cloud gaming deal. Just more of the same as Sony, like Microsoft, sought to paper over the cracks as it builds up to next gen. At least the focus was on games. "PlayStation continues to be the epicenter of gaming," Tretton said. "The journey has been fun but I promise: the best is yet to come."
House went even further: "At PlayStation we're always thinking about the future. We understand the way we game is changing: the way we play and interact, the way content is delivered to you. We're going to lead that future. I hope you're as excited as we are about the future." We would be, Andy, but for the moment we're wondering why we spent £220 on a controller for LittleBigPlanet 2.

Point is, Sony could have and should have shown off more games. Like, look at Gravity Daze. Excellent game, wholly Vita exclusive, releasing next week, not even a goddam mention from Sony. Show Metal Gear, show Madden or Need for Speed, show anything. Make it look like you know there's a problem and care even a little.
Oh, fuck, I just thought of something. As I mentioned earlier, I've been playing the LittleBigPlanet beta on Vita. As far as I can tell, with the exception of some MP kinks and a few connectivity glitches, that game is done. I mean, they could probably ship it within a couple of weeks if they wanted, it's so done. Nothing shown about it onstage, nary a mention of it, particularly a release date. Yet they made a distinct bullet point of using your Vita to control LBP 2, and how there's going to be DLC specifically tailored to the Vita with "an all-new story, costumes, props, stickers" etc.
I think I know what that DLC is going to be. It's gonna be what used to be LBP Vita. After that nonshowing, I could totally see it being quietly cancelled, with all assets shifted over to PS3 as that LBP 2 DLC pack Tretton was talking about.
trailers get released all the time for games that are eventually cancelled

“We are not ready to talk about 2013. But some of the games we showed like God of War and The Last of Us are not coming out this year,” he said in an E3 interview due to go live shortly.
...
is that it?
"If you can build a better machine and it's going to come out a little bit later, that's better than rushing something to market that's going to run out of gas for the long term."
Are there any adapters that let me use a microsd card in the proprietary slot?
Anyone have a link to the Vita games that are being shown on the show floor?
Hatsune Miku's amazing, because for some reason SEGA localized a demo for it and are implying they're looking at interest for a potential localization. :lol

Thanks for the list.
As far as the vita is concerned I really don't understand why Sony doesn't woo in ios developers. I tried the pinball arcade demo on my vita yesterday and it was pretty damn good. At first I thought 10 was too much money compared to the iphone versions but considering it comes with 4 tables vs 1 for ios and its not a bad deal.
That PlayStation Mobile shit is just confusing the way they presented it. Sony casts too wide a net sometimes.
I didn't know about the ps mobile games working on vita though - thanks takao
Not everything on that list is on the show floor (or even still in existence, as with ZOE).
wait, Last of Us isn't this year? what is coming out on PS3 this year, just Sly 4?
coasting requires you to be on the water, not under it
Thank god they aren't going to pull a Nintendo. I still feel burned at Nintendo's sudden price cut and I don't want to feel burned at Sony for doing the same. Thanks Sony! I'm really happy at this news.
well, it's not *losing* money anymore, i suppose that's something.
multiplat software still sells pretty badly, though.
franchises with a strong connection to the Playstation go about 60-40 or 50-50 with 360
everything else is more like 80-20
like i've always said, ps3 owners should be very grateful the 360 is around, because on its own, nobody would develop shit for the ps3. the wii's third party sales embarrass it, even.
Around 06:10 in Scott Rohde get's asked about PS4. He didn't even try to avoid it. Said something like "Everyone on the planet knows games for PS4 are in development, yeah". He didn't even try to deny it's existence. He said it wasn't time to talk about it. Wow. Maybe he was tired.

and that Vita list is really lacking original games, although there are a few I'm getting on the Vita (JSR, Retro City, maybe Sly 4). Is there any video of ass creed vita other than the trailer?

so embarrassing
GamesBeat: What was some of your reaction to some of the other console press conferences here? Especially where it touches on your space, like in digital?
Jack Buser: I think we’ve had a fantastic E3, I’ve watched all of our competitors very closely. And I think we did a very good job of drawing a solid line in the sand here at E3, and standing up with our back straight as PlayStation and saying, we’re for gamers. We are for the gamer first and foremost. Everything we do at PlayStation, we ask ourselves first, what’s right for the gamer? And at our press conference, we really stood up and put both our hands in the air and said, look, we are for gamers first and foremost. The reaction to the press conference has been just amazingly positive. While some of our competitors, seemingly, are losing the plot, forgetting what built this industry. It was the gamer. We remain incredibly focused on the gamer. And our press conference really drove that home. We showed amazing partnerships with our third parties. We showed incredible titles from our first parties. Last of Us, you saw that? Beyond: Two Souls. You see these titles and they represent some of the…. I’m biased, but these are the best games I’ve ever seen, and they’re exclusive to our platform.
GamesBeat: I guess you didn’t really give an update on the numbers, is there an update on the PSN members…?
Buser: Sure, I can give them to you, here’s the update. We are announcing… Registered PSN accounts, more than 100 million worldwide. PS3, more than 64 million units worldwide. I gave you the stat on games, 1,578 downloadable games since the PSN launched, that’s a lot. Fastest-selling game on PlayStation Network was Journey. Here’s some cool new facts. You saw the press conference, 80 percent of PS3s connected to the internet worldwide, very high. More than 70 percent of PSN members use PSN weekly or more often, so very engagement. Average hours PSN is used per week is 7.1 hours. Very long session durations. We’re seeing extremely high engagement on PlayStation Network. Two-thirds of PlayStation Network members play online multiplayer on PSN weekly or more often, so highly engaged, playing a ton of games
I can understand why people are mad about the Vita not having any games, but at the same time maybe you shouldn't of jumped on the bandwagon so early?
PS1 games on Vita appear to be running through the PSP's PS1 emulator :duh

no dual stick. no single stick. no R2/3&L2/3 mapped to back touchpad. and allegedly Sony's rolling them out on a timely basis, meaning like PSP games, some PS1 games will be incompatible until a later date.
Sony, folks.
apparently shes picky with licencing and only licences what she thinks are good products
thats not true Linkzg, my friend worked at the team working on the Emulator and it will have dual stick support
Yeah, I'm fairly certain Sorcery's a better game than most Harry Potter ones, lol.
The hardware
If something is a goal for me was that it was getting hold of a photograph of the PlayStation 4 itself, but this is sadly failed. The PlayStation 4 is still only on paper but a console for developers and only a select few people know how the device actually really look like. Sony also find it not necessary to the looks of the PS4 to share with developers, because here they simply have nothing. Of course, Sony then also a good point, but this is obviously bad for us.
What I have got is a very comprehensive document on the specifications of the PlayStation 4. Thus, the PlayStation 4 AMD Fusion APU get with the CPU and GPU sit together on the same chip. The code name for this chip is 'Liverpool' According developers would chip in "real talk" over 10x longer than that of the PS3 can. It would be a quad-core AMD x86 CPU running at 3.2GHz which contain the code name 'Steamroller' know. The GPU is an ATI r10xx at 800MHz with 1843 GFLOPS, this is code-named "Tahiti." This chip is also include on AMD Radeon HD 7970, both chips (CPU and GPU) are 28nm processors.
In terms of memory, there is much uncertainty with the PlayStation 4, as was the initial plan for Sony 2GB unified memory in the machine to stop. This is still only a point for discussion and developers ask whether this really can be brought up to 4GB, these choices are viewed by Sony. For comparison, the Wii you would to contain 1.5 GB of memory.
In terms of disc drive the PlayStation 4 will again be equipped with Blu-Ray, the space offers a Blu-Ray disc (50GB) is in fact still remains enough and so we use this technology. The back of the PS4 you will have a HDMI 1.4 port to put in and it will have a maximum output of 1080 and not the aforementioned 2048p.
In total, during the launch two PlayStation 4 are available, both are only equipped with a hard drive larger than 320GB. In terms of bundles, there are no concrete plans at Sony. What the exact difference between the two we do not know, but this is probably just the hard drive size. Also, the PS4 will have a special place for patches, OS etc this is stored on an internal 16 GB of flash storage.
Apparently Xbox 3 is some kind of 8GB RAM insanity.
Wow how weak. PS4 has 20GB (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=38349.0)
In exclusive we have the detailed first specs (not final) for PS4, most likely first alpha kits sent to developers:
TLDR SPECS
CPU
4 core (2 core pairs) 3.2 GHz AMD x86 (Steamroller)
aggregate, 10x PS3 PPU performance

Our source claims that the final specs should be 10x powerful than PS3, due to this info has got 10 months.
While those "dev rumors" do say the Durango is a pleasure to develop for, and that's why developers are rooting for the Xbox again next round, there's definitely no way it would match anywhere near the PS4 specs if the PS4 really is planning to be 10x the PS3.
Perhaps Sony realized they'll never beat MS on the software finesse side and just chose to solve their problems with brute power over the competition.

2GB of RAM is super fail. Especially considering the WiiU has nearly the same amount of RAM. But I guess you have to account for the system as a whole and the cost involved but is should be 4GB minimum.Really depends on the type of ram
im still pissed that there was no ps3 price drop

Thinking about it, that much GDDR5 must be expensive en masseLike that gif says, $699 retail price with Move as the primary controller.
