I can already feel my hand cramping up trying to play sonic with that wii controller...

You forgot the Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings for DS Trailer, it's looking really good.

Those japenese adds really scare me... however the new sonic wii looks damn gorgeous, better than i would thought it would look like. Looks like this new sonic is going to be awesome.

Wow, where did White Knight Story come from? It looks amazing. I can't wait for more information on this one.

James @ Sep 22nd 2006 4:07PM

Flow. Is that really a game? Looks like something you could've done on the 30 year old Vectrex.

Ooh, Bleach is looking pretty sweet.

Flow as the PS3's first downloadable game is a little underwhelming, IMHO. Between this announcement and the 'innovative' feature of the PS3 to help process cancer research (which has been done in the PC realm for years through projects such as SETI @ home) Sony's box is still attempting to dodge the question of whether or not a fully realized network/online platform will ever see the light of day on the system.

Nmaster: How can you tell? The entire video for the DS FFXII was FMV and the music is just the old Final Fantasy theme.

I'm looking forward to Phoenix Wright 2, I loved the original I am a little bit apprehensive about this unlocking the psyche stuff though.

@ 8.

People just read what they want to read is not? No one but no ones not even Sony claimed that was something innovative and by the way it was actually an agreement between Folding@Home and SONY.

So to make clear all this there is nothing innovative about this and SONY never claimed that it was.

Geez.

I was getting quite impressed with the Knight game....until the main character turned out to be a power ranger and transformed into whatever the hell it was!

Does this blog have to keep embedding videos from gamevideos.com? maybe it's just me but i've found the streaming of these videos appaling and there's no way of telling how much of the video is buffered and ready to play. The youtube videos are much better even if the quality is a bit lower.

Blech to Bleach! Yet again a Nintendo marketing video is mostly comprised of footage of people acting in lieu of game footage.

What is power rangery about White Knight? Summoning really large creatures/spirits/whatever is a common theme. And it looked awesome, not cheesy.

striderhayasa @ Sep 22nd 2006 6:29PM

i agree with you Jules. The Power Ranger Transformation I was not feeling. The combat was cool up until that point. Gamevideos.com is ass. I'm on a company broadband connection and the streaming is still trash. Come on Joystiq. There has to be a better source for videos.

Armored Core looks great but looks like it plays the same as all the rest...
Devil May cry looks like a prettier version of the PS2 games.

I liked Gundam but thought Armored Core was clearly better.

I'm sick of companies showing idiots waving around the Wii controller in vids. With that said, Bleach's trailer sucked. We get it. It's a motion sensor, just show us the damn game. As it was, I thought it looked too much like the PSP version.

Ninja Gaiden is hot. period.

I hate gamevideos.com...frickin tiny res and I can't go full-screen or download.

Triscuit @ Sep 22nd 2006 8:51PM

I've played flOw, and it seems as though it would be a bit more suited to the DS's touch screen or the Wii's remote interface than to the PS3.

Pince @ Sep 22nd 2006 9:22PM

White Knight looks amazing (and I love level5 games, they always have something good to set themsleves apart.)

Flow looks boring and touch to control.

Project sylpheed looks like a frantic arcade game, which means it could be awesome or it could be fun for no more than 10 minutes.

Afrika is...well its pretty, almost too photorealistic to even have a point. Also, no "gameplay" footage has been shown yet and, hell, no one really knows what comprises gameplay in the game.

Lair seemed underwhelming. Like a poorly controlled dogfighting game with a few gimmicks and you are on a dragon instead of in a plane. All of the dragons seemed to move more like helicopters or planes than like a living being that spews fire. The dragon hiacking thing was cool, but i got the impression that after watching that sequence a few times, I would get sick of it.

Sonic...um...sonic is much cooler than that kid.

Bleach could be the coolest thing ever or it could be completely broken; it will rule if it pulls off the crazy, over-the-top marvel-VS-capcom style fighting with precision on the Wii controller.
It will blow if it is possible to do the Wii version of button mashing (ie. whip the controller around real fast until cool shit happens). If the attacks are made far better with timing and precision, it will make the game worth learning and playing.

Ninja gaiden looks like Ninja Gaiden...I..uh...I just remembered how sweet that game is. Screw the rest of the videos, I goes plays it now. Bye.

Brandon @ Sep 22nd 2006 9:46PM

White Knight officially owns my soul. That was pretty AND kickass!!

You -can- go larger format or download--the links are right next to each vid on the page.

Granted, there was no explicit statement that the folding@home project was innovative, but let me direct anybody not familiar to this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/fun.games/09/18/playstation.folding/index.html

The emphasis of my comment wasn't focused on this project, but more or less how this project and flOw are the only larger projects we've heard about that have anything to do with PS3's networking capabilities, yet at TGS the infastructure of the PNP (playstation networking platform) has not been explained.

I'm sure the system will have some great experiences, but it's not encouraging that games like Tony Hawk Project 8 are already slated to have online removed from the PS3 version...
