Good Lord....I imagine there are OTHER games that you guys still can't talk about yet....right??
Mr Khan @ Apr 29th 2009 12:05PM
Kinda interested in MAG, just to see the nuts and bolts of how they're pulling this off
Noshino @ Apr 29th 2009 12:07PM
FAT PRINCESS!!
God, after the beta, I just can't wait for it to be released :C
Black Mage @ Apr 29th 2009 3:10PM
Lucky!!! I can't wait for Fat Princess to release.
PR0F3TA @ Apr 29th 2009 12:16PM
SONY! SONY! SONY! SONY!... no but seriously, Fat Princess is great with friends. MAG has me very interested, Uncharted 2 is obviously first day purchase and InFamous is already pre ordered.
now if i could get som Heavy Rain news i'd be way to happy today
MLS @ Apr 29th 2009 12:17PM
woah, Fat Princess is bloody!
Noshino @ Apr 29th 2009 12:19PM
And hilarious as well, I would say that the commentator's comments are a la par with those of the ones in MadWorld

"They're up in our base killing all our dudes!!!"

I'd forgotten about White Knight :O
Yay! Mag ^^
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 29th 2009 12:30PM
I haven't...if it wasnt coming out in the US soon I would have SOOOO imported it
phinnvr6 @ Apr 29th 2009 12:31PM
Damn, Sony just keeps announcing one really good looking exclusive after another! MAG, Uncharted 2, White Knight Chronicles, God of War 3, etc, all the little downloadable games. Crazy year for PS3!
Maulok @ Apr 29th 2009 12:36PM
Maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I'm just a closet fanboy, but it really seems like in 2009, Sony has the most best console exclusives.
Am I crazy?
tiamat5 @ Apr 29th 2009 12:54PM
No it's true. Nintendo and Microsoft's line up is looking kinda skimpy this year. Sony's throwing out it's best stuff this year and we still have most of the games that Microsoft is getting. Sigh, my poor wallet. with Infamous, Fat Princess, Uncharted 2, MAG, White Knight Chronicles, God of War 3,Final Fantasy XIII and Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack In Time on the way, not to mention all the other PSN games and disc games that are out already that I have yet to buy e.g. Bioshock, Valkyira Chronicles and Ratchet and Clank Quest For Booty I am really getting swamped here.

Well, firstly, Sony does have more 1st party studios now.
Its also a function of developments cycles.
Lionhead - 2-3 years, next game late 2010
Gears - 2 years, next game late 2010
Halo - 3 years, next game late 2010
Forza - 2-3 years, next game early 2010 (or late 2009?)
Plus MS have lost the developers of PGR and team Ninja as exclusives, Cry On is cancelled and looks like Alan Wake and Splinter Cell 5 may be next year as well.
So, in conclusion, MS may have a great 2010 but their 2009 sucks - though we may see games from rare, but they have sucked ever since they left N
DrgnAK @ Apr 29th 2009 4:23PM
They have the best exclusives announced so far, yes. However, don't forget that E3 is the biggest game expo of the year with reason. If they've already shown this much, here's to hoping that what they have for E3 is a lot better :D
JDHexen @ Apr 29th 2009 1:29PM
It gets me thinking if they releasing all this information for these games now then what do they have in stored for E3.
Kola @ Apr 29th 2009 1:34PM
So thats Gamers Day, up next E3. Then TGS... I just hope the price drop actually happens this year so people won't have anything else to complain about. The no games argument has been dead for a while now.
tmmoore_nc @ Apr 29th 2009 1:38PM
Are they adding in voice chat for WKC?
Barndo111 @ Apr 29th 2009 2:09PM
I think if Sony is dropping big previews like this now, by time E3 rolls around they'd better have some big news for everyone.
Predictions for E3? Sure!
-PS3 Price Drop
-New PS3 Firmware update with new functions. (I'd personally like to see RSS Aggregator like the PSP)
-New PSP Model
-New Team Ico Game
-New Kojima Game (ZOE game would be nice)
-More info on EyePet along with more uses for the Playstation Eye
-God of War 3 previews and release date
-Heavy Rain previews and release date
-New RPG's for the PS3
-New game from Incognito
-Jaffe's Game
-Dark Cloud 3 (kidding, they're working on WKC anyway)
-Real Name for MAG
Ok, some are wishes. But I think some will happen..
Crimson_Ryan @ Apr 29th 2009 3:29PM
Didn't they cancel EyePet? I heard they did for some utterly stupid game. But I can't really remember.
But isn't the real name for mag... MAG? I'm pretty sure that I read in an interview for MAG the guy said they dropped Massive Action Game and are just going with MAG now.
This has to be true, because when the logo for MAG comes up, it doesn't say Massive Action Game under it anymore.

SONY PLAYSTATION, FUCK THE WORLD!!!!
Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ Apr 29th 2009 2:50PM
Sorry. The fanboy in me just couldn't help that one.
j.howlett @ Apr 29th 2009 5:20PM
i have alot of reading to do
dave @ Apr 29th 2009 7:53PM
Damn, still waiting on news of Team ICO's new game. I hope something is revealed soon.
Slaziman @ Apr 30th 2009 6:29PM
I hope it's more like SotC and less like Ico, because for all its merits Ico just wasn't fun to me at all.
Ray @ May 1st 2009 12:31AM
good. Glad to see the PSP finally getting some love.
Also, the link to the PAIN: Sore Spots hands-on is butthosed.
