In the wake of one of the gaming industries?biggest shows, SCE announces some prominent news. Sources at Quiter uncovered a slide at Sony's official website that targets what Sony plans to do with the PSP at this year TGS.
Previously unannounced; Sony plans on setting up 100 playable PSP systems, to go along with 20 playable games. While this news seems already good enough for some of us, the slide also indicates that there will be over 100 PSP games to be represented, with many to be shown in video form sources at IGN claim. The opportunity for TGS attendees this year is almost staggering.
With a good number of playable games, and a mass of new footage to previously unannounced titles, the PSP should be one of the best exhibits on the show floor.
Wel keep you updated as more news pours in about the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.
Japanese publication, Nihon Keizai Shimbun today revealed that the Cell processor has reached its final stage of development. Although no information on the actual chip was given out, a Toshiba company official did restate that "It will be used in such areas as IBM brand computers, Sony game machines and Toshiba home appliances".
Sony are expected to announce a little more about the Cell processor and the PS3 at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. Stay tuned.
Ya know, most of us here have names that sound like super hero names, and thus, let's all decide what our super hero powers shall be first, thus the limitations of the battle (so we might actually GET a winner).
Um, you can feel free to make up stat points and apply them with no real meaning, so long as it's not "cheap", by whatever definition you decide that to be...
Oh and, you can only define your own abilities, unless you aren't popular, in which case others will define who you are, JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE!
That in mind, Darunia is a 1 inch high 1 ton goron with all the powers that implies, who controls a vast army... of pikmin. Well, sorta. His faith stat is so low that magical powers have... um.... like 1/4 effectiveness on him, whatever that means.
Also, I'm DJ, the super amazing... actually I got nothing. I'm BATMAN, only without the money... or gadgets... or fighting ability... Oh, I am NOT afraid of the dark! Well, unless something weird touches my arm in a room I'm not familiar with. That's my one weakness, that and something stronger than me. Oh, I can regenerate my body indefinitly, but when I pose no threat to even a small puppy, well, that really doesn't mean anything...
Watch that and try to keep a straight face. Starts out as a cheesy war scene with what appear to be Terran Marines right? Then, you see what they are terrified of... orcs! Well, they look like orcs. Maybe if the orcs were using guns I'd see it, but they are wearing frickin' medieval armor and weilding axes! Now, apparently this is supposed to be from a series with a "good story", but excuse me if this is just far beyond anyone's reasonable ability to suspend their disbelief.
Sorry, but if this game involves picking sides, I pick the one with the INFINITE superiority, and that ain't the green skins...
Or to be more precise, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorow. It's made like the old sci-fi serials from the 40's and 50's and in fact it's set around 1939. To create an old world feel the movie is almost entirely CG, except for the main actors. It's cliched, the plot's totally shallow, it's full of cheap deus ex machinas and it coulnd't be a better movie! Who needs things like a complex plot or deep characters when you can have giant robots attacking a 1939 New York City or huge explosions all over the place and a doom's day device? Its an awesome movie, the CG looks great [although in some places you can easily tell it's CG], and the symphonic soundtrack sounds like it was ripped straight out of an old Buck Roger's movie. If there ever was a movie that you just had to see in the theater's for the sheer amount of bass rumbling this is it. So go watch it!
I wonder what that would be like. Hey maybe we should do it for one day out of the week and then come back the next day with ingore back off and then see how kind of wonderful conversations we had.

I got the game last night and played it for about two hours, and so far I like it. If I hadn't known about all of those missing features two weeks ago I would be thrown the game out the window in anger, but I've been trying my best to play the game for what it is instead of what it isn't. It's tough, it really is. Big Blue Box was very cruel to keep all of this from us, very cruel to let us buy into the hype when they knew we'd be severely let down. So let me get the negative out of the way first.
Everything is blocked off in the game. Everything. See those gorgeous woods next to you that seem to stretch on forever? Well don't even think about them. You can look but cannot touch. It fucking sucks. That is probably the most disappointing aspect of Fable to me, the tiny, restricted environments. And there are load points everywhere! Just as frequent as KOTOR (the environs are even smaller), though the actual load times aren't as long. It's obvious that those early Project Ego screens were never even fully created as the game is chopped up into narrow paths. If I had known this from the beginning I wouldn't have been as disappointed as I am now. They promised chocolate cake and delivered carrot sticks. Not that carrot sticks are bad, mind you, but they're not as good as chocolate cake and that's what they promised. That's what I got my hopes up for for four damn years. I'll go into other details once I've gotten farther in the game.
So what's good? Well so far the good/bad thing works pretty well though I haven't really been able to try it out. And the environments, as restricting and small as they are, are simply gorgeous. They really are. Really gorgeous woods, streams, lakes, villages. The game is a real beauty. It's just too bad that there's no free look mode. Oy.
Overall I'm liking the game and really want to get back to it, but I am struggling with my former expectations.
