Sony's E3 '09 Conference: Let's play bingo!

Why on Earth would we put anything about a Microsoft property on the Sony Bingo Card?

Have you been drinking?

exactly, that's how stupid it was when people were asking why stuff about Killzone and God of War werent on the Xbox bingo card

lol

lulz...i love this haha

Hey Xav, can you send me a PS3. You refer to Sony as "we" so I assume you and someone else (or other people) ARE Sony.

It's like saying addressing your favorite team:
We won last night!
*sigh*

@ThatPCgameryouhate: You're rambling and I have no idea what you're talking about.

@ThatPCgameryouhate

Actually Xav is refering to Joystiq as "we" considering he's a joystiq editor. Joystiq made the Sony bingo card, not Sony. He and the other editors ARE joystiq.

As soon as I saw this comment I burst out laughing, Internet memes FTW! And your posts are always really funny. :D

joystiq writers have always self-referred as "we" when writing. Never "i," some sort of journalistic thing.

ThatPCgameryouhate didnt read properly, tut tut

i hope they announce LOTS of exclusives =)

It's the Royal "we"
Xav is a king, didn't you know?

Maybe, but on the flip side of the coin, they've made it impossible to get bingo in the middle column since "PS3 price cut" and "PS3 bundles in lieu of price cut" contradict one another.

Oops - "middle row," I mean.

my suggestion for price cut be announcement about new syphon filter game, i remember there some news about it long time ago.

however it worked, youd like look an idiot in public

It does.

ahh..

PSP 3000 has a built in mic already

PSP 1000 and 2000 both have headsets that can be bought

how do you know??

@Sony boy: Common sense....

True some of this stuff may happen but a lot of it if it ever happens will be some years down the road

My hopefuls, in order:

1. Starhawk: videos and info. I love Warhawk to death, and anything new on the matter would make me jizz, right on the spot.
2. God of War III, demo and date: Because it's God of War, nuff said.
3. PS3 slimline: Would definitely change my PS3 for a slim, in a heartbeat.
4. Trico: We've seen a teaser, can't wait for the rest.
5. Party chat: Just to see how it would work.

Anyone else have favorites?

Also, for a big surprise I'm gonna throw out that they'll announce god of war 3 coming by the end of the year.

Omg.

"PSP GO! announced", "PS3 gets PS2 Software Emulation", "Cross-game/Party Chat", "PS3 gets $100 Price Cut" and "Slimline PS3 Announced" ?
Are you crazy? I'm a huge PS3 fan, but basically what you're saying is that ALL the rumours so far on the interwebz are being confirmed at E3. Those are the ones that most certainly (and most unfortunately too) aren't likely to happen.

I think the slimline will also be their $100 price cut. They'll probably stop production of all the others so once they're gone they're gone for good and the slim will be the standard model.

I'm hoping for ps2 emulation but I don't have a very good feel for if it'll happen. The psp go and party chat are all but guaranteed by this point.

PS2 software emulation is a tall order. A friend of mine is big into emulators, and even on his beefier-than-thou gaming rig, the PS2 emulator is still a stretch. A lot of games run sluggishly, and many hit titles simply won't run at all. I realize that Sony would have a leg up on unpaid emulator developers, but it is still doubtful. What I'd much rather see them do is an update to the psuedo-software emulator that exists right now, and that came with 80gb PS3's (mine included). I've seen an 80gb PS3 playing a PS2 game right alongside a 60gb PS3 playing the same game (completely hardware) and there was no visual difference. If they could smooth out any remaining bugs (to be fair, I haven't run into a single bug on my 80gb PS3 while playing PS2 games) that would be excellent.

I also doubt a slimline PS3. My PS3 blows out enough heat to keep me warm in the winter, and to make me sweat like a lumberjack during the summer. Shrinking it wouldn't seem to be a good idea. There is also the problem of a redesigned console costing more money to fabricate starting out; money which Sony doesn't really have. A price drop also seems out of the question due to them already taking a loss on every console. I think what they'll probably do is PS3 bundles with first party games. That would add value without actually having to lower the cost of the PS3.

We'll see.




Oh my god..what if there is a limited edition Trico PS3......I'm sorry wallet. Please make it happen Sony.

BananaBoat, I have heard that certain PS2 titles perform poorly on the software based emulation PS3s like the PAL 60gb units and earlier 80gb units such as the Rachet and Clank games. Some PS1 games also do not work as ALL PS3s, even ones with all PS2 hardware such as Chrono Cross.

What is there left to take other then Versus and MGS4, everything else has already gone multiplat :D

Pretty much all the 360 exclusives that are left are games that can't possibly go any where else.

MGS4 and Versus at least have the potiential to end up on the 360.

Seems kind of pointless releasing MGS4 on 360 now :S

Wouldn't it make more sense to work on MGS5 and make it multiplat as long as it isn't directly influenced by MGS4?

As for Versus, Square would look a little silly announcing it for 360 after last year taking away 13 and saying PS3 could keep Versus exclusive. I'd be wondering if they've taken something, lol

Why would it be pointless?? they Ported a MGS game over to Xbox...although from what I hear it didnt sell worth a damn...

I'm just thinking about budgeting wise and cost effectiveness, as well as time taken to redo the game to suit 360, its not as easy a port as say, Bioshock was over to PS3.

Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell could both possibly go the PS3. Doubt either will happen, but y'never know.

Almost like it was intentional...

No, it's a game. We have both because both are possibilities... also, both could not happen. The point is to see if we can get bingo by mixing our wild and safe predictions... this isn't a "ZOMG THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN GUIZ" post...

We're trying to have fun with it.

Oo, I like that prediction!

I think something like this just slips in under everybody's guesswork! Good prediction.

why? They already have God of War 3

Cos watching a girl kick ass with a series of combos never gets old :D

Besides, makes a difference from all the bulky testosterone driven males in gaming today, lolz

As cool as that'd be, I doubt it's gonna happen.

Although the Heavenly Sword DLC for LBP is a nice indication that Sony haven't completely forgotten the franchise.
