Uncharted Golden Abyss (NGP)

i dont really know how sony is going to get me excited this year. the last guardian and journey are definitely two of my most anticipated games, but im past wanting to learn more about them. i just want to play them.LoG-Sacrament

I'm with ya on that. Stop with the info and just get those games out to us already, Sony!

NGP is what I'm looking forward to the most... Everything about it, like the price, launch date and lineup, and I'd like to see more games too. I'm also hoping for a Syphon Filter 4 announcement.

What time is that in the U.K? xDJackopeng

I'm expecting LBP2's Move pack to finally be unveiled, but I'm hoping for more (artistically, I'd love a filter which made everything look cell shaded).

I'm really interested in the launch price and launch library of the PSP2 (I spend 2.5 hours on the road a day, so my PSP often is my most played system).

Dylan Jobe has promised that there are pure space levels in Spacehawk designed in the vein of Colony Wars and as a big Colony Wars fan (its the oldest game in my library) and Warhawk fan (its my third most played game this gen after the LBPs) I'm looking forward to seeing them.

I will be very surprised if Quantic Dreams' next game isn't unveiled.

As one of the few people in GGD who loved FF13 (it had its flaws, but the combat system is the best I've ever seen) I'm looking forward to seeing a real trailer of FF13-2 (not just the CG nonsense).

More TM footage is always welcome. I was worried when Jaffe announced TM was shooting for a T rating, but its going to be one of the rougher T rated games out there (assuming the ESRB agrees with Jaffe about what a T rating allows) and the level and vehicles design looks insanely wild (the 18 wheeler is pure awesome).

Given how popular the genre is, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony announced that they are funding a wrpg (perhaps developed by a second party).

Twisted Mechal was a huge letdown for me. I don't really understand why they need to turn it into a mech game. The best parts of the trailer are when the game most closely resembles TMB. The mechs seem like an unnecessary, pointless addition.

But then again, I hate giant robots, so....

Twisted Mechal was a huge letdown for me. Looks like a Michael Bay film.

When I think of Transformers I think of the old 80's cartoon, not the craptastic new movies, but if you visualize the incredibly painful new movies, I can see why the mech aspect of TM bothers you (the only Michael Bay movie I consider watchable is 'The Rock').

I loved Black and this looks like TM to the taken to its logical extreme (near fully destructible environments, massive disparities in vehicle size). I could also see myself getting into the multiplayer provided Jaffe manages to balance it all out (a tall order even if before the mech aspect was shown).

Sony is gonna have to do something amazing if they wish to gain the trust of their fans back, especially after everything that's happened to them. But I'm with Rag on this one...I can't think of anything that would be blowing people away this year, maybe something huge like a GTAV exclusive deal or, should it realy happen, a Final Fantasy VII remake with the kind of visuals that were shown as a tech demo. It has to be about the games though, that's for sure...and I'm not takling about remakes or HD collections, I'm talking about original IPs that are made exclusive for the Sony PS3. I'm also curious to hear more about the NGP and whether or not it will be backwards compatiable, which is something that I look for in a new console.

It will be B/C with downloads, but not UMDs (it uses a different, as yet undisclosed format).

Then it looks like I may have to get an original PSP then if I want to play any of their original UMDs. That's sad.

I am interested at how they handle the mess they just had. I expect a few surprises but for the most part I don't think we will get anything mindblowing. Its just going to be more of the same.dvader654

To be honest i don't see many surprises at all in store from E3 in general this year. We know most of the stuff already. Its just a matter of actually seeing some games in action ergo The Last Guardian

That would be handy, and Sony at one time promised something vaguely along those lines for the PSP Go, but they didn't figure out how to thread that needle, so I doubt it will happen with the PSP2 (howdoes one differentiate between rented or borrowed and owned games?).

So Dark Souls live demo on stage..... right? :PGodModeEnabled

Captain Sony reporting for duty.

Anyone not on time is going to get court marshalled.

The PlayStation Blog is streaming it, and the player works with the PS3 browser incase anyone wanted to watch it on the big screen. Then again, all of you probably have cable or something.

Yup G4HD baby.

Sony late as always. lol, these f***ers never learn.

I think the answer to the question that everyone is asking and everyones wants to know is simple. What would YOU do for a Klondike bar?GodModeEnabled

Cmon guys chant with me Dark Souls live, Dark Souls live, Dark souls live.... if we will it, it will happen.GodModeEnabled

Why is this girl going on about MGS4 on the NGP? There has been no rumor whatsoever. Peace Walker is going to be o the NGP. Not MGS4.

I want to see The Last Guardian and Journey proper demos. That's about it. Uncharted, Resistance, God of War...whatever.

Sony didnt care for locking up the exclusive. What makes you think they will showcase it during their conference?

Hell, they didnt even show their own exclusives in their previous press conferences. heavy rain was never showed during E3. Motorstorm wasnt either.
