At 12:00pm, Kotaku hit the floors to see how the lines for platform holders Microsoft and Sony are holding up.
Yes, both booths were packed - though, Microsoft had considerably more demo kiosks and did not have a dedicated space for handheld games. Sony had an "I.D. check" for its mature titles, which might have actually hindered younger players from getting hands on time.
More after the jump!
Capcom is doing an amazing job treating fans with lots of info and goodies of their favorite games. Dragon Dogma’s Dark Arisen is well on its well as well. New screenshots and footage of the game’s DLC have arisen at the Tokyo Game Show. There will be game modes and content on the way to coincide with the DLC.
So hyped for this. This dlc and dark souls dlc for consoles will keep me busy for a long time.
From Software published an extended version from the Ninja Blade TGS 08 trailer. Enjoy.

Howdy people. You know, if there is one thing that Core i7 processors will drive upwards .. it'll be sales of DDR3 memory. See the processor now has a memory controller integrated into it's core logic, and the good thing is .. it's designed for high frequency DDR3 memory. In fact it loves it so much that Intel decided to design a triple channel memory controller, which makes a big difference.
We understand, it's a bit of a bold move by being forced from 2 DIMM modules towards three in your PC, but trust me when I say .. it's worth the effort. The memory performance without any doubt is making a difference on the new Core i7 platform managing it's overall performance increase, and this is the reason why you have seen many press-releases from memory vendors releasing new triple channel ready memory kits.
Very blunt, a triple channel memory kit is nothing other than high frequency, low voltage DIMMs that you guys already know, the difference is that that there's now three DIMMs in the packaging.
Now I've been using Core i7 triple memory in several flavors already, and guys .. even if you won't purchase the fastest memory available in the block, the difference is orgasmic. Today will test a triple memory kit from none other than OCZ technology, renowned for their speedy part we'll take a look at their OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Gold Low-Voltage Triple Channel memory. Memory that is capable of 1600MHz DDR3 CL 8-8-8-24 (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS) and comes with a lifetime warranty.
An all new 6 GB kit which we'll test on an 64-bit Windows Vista environment. Razer sharp an fast stuff for sure .. let's check it out.
did they say Kh death by sleep? i thought it was birth by sleep.
ROFL
DEATH by Sleep... Disney will not be happy with that Kotaku lol
So basically at the end of the day, the Japanese public were preferring the the PS3 showcasing, with lines being suspended and the trailer for WTK was 80minutes? No ways... that game better not disappoint cause it could really turn things around for Sony in Japan, and if FFversus13 is to come 2009 (mean to be released before Agito and Agito has a 2009 release) then the PS3 will definitely start getting a formidable userbase.
It's been mentioned many times by the lack of third party support for the PS3 from Japanese developers but I'm thinking that they're just waiting for the FF titles to give the PS3 momentum.
On another note, I wonder if SEGA will do a sequel to Valkyria Chronicles... the demo for the first is so amazing... a sequel could also sell better with a larger, mainly RPG-centric, fanbase.
