Top 6 things that Sony needs to do at this years E3

Sony’s E3 press conference, held in the wonderful Shrine Auditorium, is only one month away. This time last year, Sony had their big plans leaked to the gaming press; Uncharted 2 would be shown, God of War 3 would be shown, The PSP GO would be announced, and that a price cut for the PS3 was in the works. Fast forward a year later and nothing, not a squeak has been said about Sony’s E3 showing. It is shrouded by mystery.

That would be so awesome if Kevin Butler took the stage! Boom!!!

qwertyuiopasdfghjkl5872d ago (Edited 5872d ago )

KB introduces his own videogame on stage... he rolls the tape. Its Killzone 3. After the video he asks what we think of HIS game.

Did you rike it?

Redrum0595872d ago

funny to see many ppl trolling below me, its sad how for the past 2 years, M$ hasnt done enything to wow ppl. just more dlcs and money thrown around. and for those dissing move, im sure you all are excited for ricoche and fatal... i mean natal.

Lifendz5872d ago

Avoid Geoff Keighley's twitter account in the days/weeks prior to E3. That guy will spoil the whole show for you. That's if you actually want to be surprised.

zeeshan5872d ago

I totally agree! Keighley likes to hype every thing and he likes to spoil the fun factor out of everything!

HolyOrangeCows5872d ago

If they want to prove the Move (lol), they had better have a Star Wars Game.

Steve_05872d ago

That was exactly what came in my head the moment I saw the Nintendo Revolution (Wii)... My dreams remain unfulfilled.

Theonik5871d ago

I imagine this: A lightsaber duel game with augmented reality. You sould be on the screen curtesy of the eye on famous star wars arenas with the move ball the colour of the saber you are holding. And you van duel that way.

KongRudi5872d ago

I'd rather have Jack Tretton onstage, aswell as the gamedesigners.
He is a superb host, with great humour, and for some reason I'm allways in a good mood when he talks.

Kevin Butler ads are superb, both informative and funny, but for a presentation - hopefully lasting for hours, Jack Tretton is the better choice, I believe.

A 2 hour long press conference with Kevin Butler, would be probably be funny and cool - but I think it would perhaps take too much of the focus away from the most important things - like the games and the developers.

nveenio5871d ago

Exactly. In all reality, we already have a pretty good idea of what is coming from Sony: LBP2, inFamous 2, Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Agent, etc. The surprise--the REAL surprise--is going to be how it's delivered, what we're actually SHOWN, and when we'll get our hands on it. That's the difference between Sony and the other guys. With Sony, you know that they're giving gaming everything they've got, whether it's the hardcore market, the casual market or simply the market that uses the PS3 for Netflix and BluRay.

I'm so stink'n pumped for this E3...I wanna see inFamous 2 footage so bad it's not even funny.

Death24945871d ago

That Kevin Butler will be delivering the Keynote for E3 this year.

mikeslemonade5871d ago

Kevin Butler is overated. The commercials are fine but I don't find Kevin Butler to be that great. You guys probably think he is funny. All he does is use sarcasm.

you sony fanboy loyalists make me want to throw my ps3 out the window. you guys are so worried about what people think about the ps3. who cares? you guys are just a bunch of babies. two guys that said that ms will have a good e3 got hidden for trolling, but every single alan wake article has about half troll comments that usually have more agrees than disagrees, but never hidden for trolling... i wonder which fanboys are more pathetic? i think that one is easy. every time one of these comes up you all say ms is dead and have no games coming out. what usually happens? ms suprises. you kids are the scum of the gaming community. why dont you go play games insted of spending time in forums defending your babies.

hiredhelp5871d ago

you sony fanboy loyalists make me want to throw my ps3 out the window..

HA HA HA hey kid firstly obviously you dont have a ps3 2ndly if you did you wouldnt be moaning. you be greatfull to own one. only baby is you here.

Jazz41085871d ago

Very well said. Just stay off of N4G if you dont want biased views. There are much better sites that care about the games rather then defending your "Babies" hardware.

Death24945871d ago

All eyes are going to be on what Microsoft's Natal. People have heard about this for almost a year with controlled presentations. We now want to see what (real) games are you bringing to the system. This will either be their greatest or worst moment. I tend to usually skip Nintendo's conference because they just usually brag about how they are number one.

SPACEBALL 15871d ago

i dont own a ps3 huh????? maybe you should check my tags before you make claims without and proof. you are exactly the scum i am talking about, you and all the phantom disagrees i got. where do you get that i dont own a ps3???? is it because i think ps3 fanboys are the most pathetic people in the gaming world??? oh well that is the only response that ps3 idiots have "you dont even own a ps3 blah blah blah".

Odin7775871d ago

I find people like you more annoying than the fanboys themselves...because you are giving them the reaction they want.

Silver3605872d ago

Is show two first party games with gorgeous artwork and that is enough. Everything else will be fine, oh and Kevin Butler is so much more watchable than Jack Trenton. Jack just looks like he is more comfortable in the boardroom than on stage.

blahblah5872d ago (Edited 5872d ago )

announce Demons Souls 2 with Move tech... that alone would make so much net traffic that everything else would be silenced and also boost reasons to buy Move on greater scale

Why?
Demons souls probably had more net traffic than Uncharted 2 (not to bash Uncharted 2, it was great game, but everyone already knew it will be... and it had nothing innovative compared to DS), it was bigger surprise new IP and also greatest gaming innovation of last few years.

JL5871d ago

Not to bash Demon's Souls (god I loved the game, seriously can't wait for part two), but didn't what you just said pretty much contradict itself?

You basically said DS had more net traffic than UC2 basically because UC2 was an amazing sequel to an amazing game. So people already expected that. Whereas DS got alot of buzz because it was something new. And moreso, something new that delivered on a big level.

BUT....wouldn't DS2 fall under that same rule that you just put on UC2? It's not going to produce quite as much buzz simply because we know it's coming, we know it'll be awesome, so nothing more to say.

The game that will produce the most buzz (if they show one) will be something like DS was last year. A new game that we didn't see coming that really delivers on a huge level. If they have something like that that's a new IP then that will be last year's Demon's Souls.

Either way though, seriously can't wait for DS2. I'd like to see more on SOCOM as well. Maybe they'll even reveal UC3 :D that would be awesome. But yea...I know. Too soon.

Really excited to see what they deliver this year though.

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.

solideagle38d 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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde45d 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.

Soy45d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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.

Relientk7746d ago

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

Cacabunga46d ago

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

S2Killinit46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

neutralgamer199246d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga46d 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

1nsomniac46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

medman45d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger46d 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_Box46d 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.

robtion45d 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.

darthv7246d 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.

Agent7546d ago

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

S2Killinit46d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14946d ago

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

Lightning7746d 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.
