"The general consensus among gaming media and fans alike is that E3 2009 could be Sony's biggest showing in the history of the PlayStation brand. Rumors, leaks, and a massive pre-E3 media event have helped fuel the hype for what is set to be quite an amazing show.
PlayStation LifeStyle has the great pleasure of seeing this first hand, and will work tirelessly to bring you all possible coverage of the PlayStation brand, no matter how big or small the news.
Before E3 begins, and Sony takes the gaming world by storm, we are bringing you a trip down memory lane by giving you a recap of Sony's biggest E3 showings of the past. This way, you can see exactly what Sony's showing at E3 2009 is up against, and you can be the judge of whether or not this will be Sony's best year ever!"
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
I wonder if all those announcements are enough to turn things around in this economy...it is kind a ironic, isn't it?
This is raw hype.
There is no substance. There is no reason to expect anything big, or even mildly large out of E3. Gaming, as a whole, simply does not have big announcements anymore.
What we have is hype and marketing.
The last big announcement in gaming history was Starcraft 2, mostly because we were all stunned Blizzard had kept it secret so long, and partly because rumors abounded of SC2 every year after Brood War. Like clockwork.
But every time E3, or TGS or any other big gaming conference rolls around, the hype picks up and rumors swirl about... then the day comes and nothing is made--and the gamers in the audience don't take notice. Too busy preparing to be swept up in the next round of mindless, baseless excitement, I guess.
Dark Sniper will certainly be enjoying what will be the greatest event in gaming history as Sony will set the stage to present the ultimate presentation in interactive gaming. He will be socializing with his fellow Sony Snipers in PlayStation Home as we receive a hands on experience that cannot be found on any other console.
Next week will spell the demolishment of Microsoft once and for all. Xbox 360 has no content that can rival the vast selection of AAA titles that Sony is preparing for E3. Not only will Sony provide their own content, but developers will soon be jumping ship by abandoning Xbox 360 development to enhance their visions by developing b3yond the Xbox 360's limitations.
Crushing the competition isnt new for Sony. First Sega, then 3D0, then Nintendo. It's only natural that Microsoft is next and Dark Sniper could not be any more pleased as he prepares his glass of Paul Masson and throws himself a party for all to enjoy.
$niper
I think one thing that is often overlooked is the keynote time. Like your 1995 E3 reflection. If Sony went first, SEGA could maybe have tweaked their announcement or held something back.
I LOVE that Sony goes last. yes, maybe some things don't hit home as hard and other consoles can show multiplatform titles, but Sony having the last word again this year gets me excited.
Anyone who thinks Sony'd be better off going first?
haha forgot the PS3 was originally announced with: "1080p High Definition gaming, 3 Ethernet ports, 2 HDMI outputs, 6 USB ports (4 front, 2 rear), Wifi, Bluetooth 2.0, and a built-in Blu-Ray drive"
haha 2 HDMI outputs I even kinda get. but 3 gigabit ethernet ports? What was the idea there?
Looking back I remember actually thinking the PSeye rubber duck tech demo was cool when PS3 debuted. We've come a long way.
