GDC 2008 PlayStation Coverage

by IGN PlayStation Team:

Your one-stop shop for all things Sony.
Though Sony is keeping this year's GDC a little more low-key than what we saw last year, there's still plenty of stuff for PlayStation fans to drool over.

Sony knows what they're doing. They're saving the big announcements for E3 and TGS. GDC's never been anything special. E3 and TGS = Sony's territory.

Violater6689d ago (Edited 6689d ago )

Home and LBP so your assessment is somewhat flawed.

And I suspect as was done with Resistance 1 this year will be more of a tech demo than an intro to the game itself, well it being a Game Developers Conference and all.

But who knows maybe there will still be a surprise waiting for us.
Wont get my hopes up to be disappointed, I would rather be pleasantly surprised.

Edit: someone disagreed with no stated reason why, I really wish they would keep that crap on the open side.

Peekay6689d ago

But i think Sony only showed stuff last year cos everyone thought they had nothing. They showed Uncharted, Heavenly sword, LBP, and Home.

I don't think they have much to prove this year. This is a developers conference so i reckon a lot of integration with home will be shown. Maybe R2. I'm hoping for more. Expect Sony to own at E3 though.

barom6689d ago

yup I don't think GDC has been a place to announce big stuff. It's a game "developer" conference anyway. LBP fitted perfectly for that part (in some ways at least). And who knew it was gonna be that big. Also info about Home was leaked out thanks to Kotaku. So I guess that's why Home was shown at such an early stage.

sony's been really quiet so far

EDIT: for those who disagreed with me, can you please tell me what, if any, announcemetns have been made by sony

pwnsause6689d ago

wait, doesnt insomniac have a presentation soon?

Greysturm6689d ago

All the info will come on sony gamers day as for gdc they are focusing on developers not gamers which is why they hold a conference on developing items, location etc for home and its roadmap to the future.

While new games and all gaming related info will be presented on Sony gamers day.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle46d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde53d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy54d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12553d ago (Edited 53d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga55d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199254d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga54d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman54d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger54d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box55d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion54d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7255d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7554d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit54d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14955d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7755d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
