I thought you might be interested in seeing this short time-lapse video from the recent May Gamers Day held at our Motion Capture Studio in San Diego. I thought this might give you a taste of what we have in store for everyone now that E3 is only three weeks away. If nothing else, this should give you a sense of how much effort and planning goes into organizing a press event, and just imagine, the SCEA E3 Press Conference is typically 3-4 times larger than our annual Gamers Day!
There is a lot of talk out there about the new format for E3. You probably heard that it has been moved from the LA Convention Center to a smattering of hotels in Santa Monica. I guess the show’s tagline says it all — “Get Ready for Something New.” The crew over here is racing like mad to get everything ready, so while we’re preparing for setting this year’s benchmark, take a look at this video and we’ll have more on E3 soon….

I have a feeling Sony has ‘pulled back’ some of the bigger franchises of the xbox 360.
If Sony announced Shadow Hearts 4 & Azure partnership for exclusive to PS3, anything else will just be gravy.
Oh, and Killzone 2 kicking Halo 3 in the nuts would be a good desert.

@rukusa
I believe the announcing of Killzone 2 should be the main thing for this E3.
Also, I am hoping big news for the updates and PS Store.
And please…ADD MORE COUNTRIES IN THE REGISTRATION.
I mean, I can not even register my credit card to buy things! I want to give you money Sony..hello?

It would be awesome if you guys post high quality video of your presentation. Although I’m not sure how the new E3 format will affect the way you present.

Novaoblivion | June 19th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
Cool video, I like everyone else am hoping for some cool stuff this E3.
55
Godofwar55555 | June 19th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
I hope that they finally announce release dates for Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhark, Uncharted, and Ratchet at E3. I cannot wait.

I liked the video. Much work put in there in total.
I am too excited for E3. Expecting All Gamer’s Day titles to be there plus Killzone, and then some other titles that we haven’t seen for a long time like The Getaway. It would be nice to see some coming XMB functions too.
Other than that just need more info about what is so special with PSN and PS3. So people know exactly what they are paying for.

BobsRevenge | June 19th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Wow, that was awesome. E3 is going to be awesome. Can’t wait! Keep it up Sony!
58
Dno | June 19th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Sony is going to steal the spotlight with a rumble controller, home, and all these great 1st party games. Sony is really upping its 1st party titles and thats what people want to see. Good job sony.

Nephlabobo | June 19th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
Looking forward to seeing some new information on upcoming titles.
Come on Sony! Get me excited!
(LA Noire please!)

SonicTHP | June 19th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Hopefully the new E3 won’t be a media circus the way the last one was. That was the reason it needed to change the most in my opinion.

jerrt | June 19th, 2007 at 3:44 pm

PS3_123106 | June 19th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Nice vid…too bad E3 moved from L.A. it was always fun driving by the Convention Center around this time of year to see all the activity.
Go get them Sony!
64
Godofwar55555 | June 19th, 2007 at 4:02 pm
That’s correct, they havenot announced anything about the new Getaway game in two years, I hope this year we get some new info.

Prolo | June 19th, 2007 at 4:10 pm
Awesome vid, shows lots of efforts. Now prove the naysayers wrong and show them that the PS3 is the REAL DEAL of next-gen.

Makasu | June 19th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Any chance you can stream the keynote (and other events…) from here?
68
Godofwar55555 | June 19th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
I bet you guys that Sony could steal the show by announcing that MGS4 and FXIII
will remain exclusive to the Ps3, (Not that I dont think that they wont), this could make microsoftfanboys cry and not to mention Bill Gates who apparently is trying to buy everyone of Sony’s games.

stennex | June 19th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
How can microsoft be suing Immerssion for rumble. Do any of you Sony big wigs know what is going on. Are we going to not get rumble becasue of greedy Microsoft? Is there any other way to create rumble. Sony you are technological kings common you must can move away from crap happenings like this.
70
Jason | June 19th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
Can’t wait to see what you guys at SONY have in store for us at E3.
Hopefully whatever it is we can download it on PlayStation Store.
71
drhouse | June 19th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Anyone know the name of that song?
pretty cool Sony.
I hope we can get a MGS4/Killzone/GT5/FFX13 and LBP showing at the Sony press conference. lol
would be awesome though.

reesimo | June 19th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Keep fighting the Battle, Sony! We’ll be in the trenches with you. Only a few weeks away til min-E3!

Coool video!

PBJ | June 19th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
What a joke about the Immersion Deal and Microsoft - makes my blood boil - Sony - why don’t you buy 51% of Immersion and then stick it to Microsoft - before they do it to you. Also can you please start buying some exclusives - like Microsoft - as waiting for Sony exclusives - while we see exclusive after exclusive get grabed and paid for by Microsoft to steal your thunder. Pay the money and make sure this is not going to happen on the big ones. Buy some companies if you have too.

Came on Sony,show us the gap!!

jonabbey | June 19th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
I hope Sony will be prompt about putting media (trailers, game play demonstration videos, etc.) up on the PlayStation store this time.
Microsoft is very good about releasing lots of media on their download service when their big events happen, so that everyone with a 360 can partake of the excitement and feel like the XBL store is one of the best places to go to participate.
Getting trailers on the PlayStation store weeks or months after an event such as GDC (and months after the videos have been available at dozens of sites across the Internet) brings very little value to PlayStation 3 owners, and very little excitement about whatever was announced.
We PS3 owners will form a thriving community around your products and your company, if you give us the access to the information and excitement, rather than saving it up and dribbling it out so that you’ve at least got _something_ on the store, while we still wait for new games.
Use your tools, guys.

Sounds good, I can’t wait!

rukusa | June 19th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Im with what PBJ said. The thunder… youre loosing it guys! I dont know if you carry some principles, but honestly, truely you must strike back.
I have a feeling that the MS conference will try to indirectly take low blows at Sony’s current performance. Tell Phil to make a xxxxx tattoo lol (or not - it would be like directly mimic Moore’s moves), or maybe let a plane fly over the sky and write out the exclusive title or something-
Either way, I have hope that you guys will come back from E3 more triumphant than ever making MS & Co. start thinking if they have underestimated you position.
And yes, like people suggested, this time re-announce MGS4 & FFXIII as PS3 exclusives to shut up the random ramblings by PS3 haters.
80
aaquib | June 19th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
Yeah just pay off Square and Konami to keep them exclusives.
81
mcpeepants80 | June 19th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
I can’t wait to hear what you have in store for us. I t had better be good after your failure to land exclusive content for GTA4 on the PS3. I still don’t understand that blunder! And to jonabbey, well said.

AznSniper | June 19th, 2007 at 5:35 pm

sectionz | June 19th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
huge .. something HUGE it has to be at least 1/10 as huge as the original size of the XBOX to turn more heads …
84
rukusa | June 19th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
To be honest I also wonder who of those people is the infamous Sony representative ‘Aisenherz’ from neogaf.
I’ve come to some possble conclusion that its you patrick ;).
Either way, if you know the guy tell him that Rukusa admires his/her work.

Wow, a video of scaffolds? Even that was a let down… much like everything else with the ‘Sony’ name nowadays.

darkgeekrocker | June 19th, 2007 at 6:25 pm

Picasso | June 19th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
I just want to add that I expect to see the PS2 bundled with the eyetoy to combat the Wii fad…
I mean it’s a gamecube with a new controller PS2>gamecube time to break out a Crash Bandicoot eyetoy type game… and on a completely different note

Gavi | June 19th, 2007 at 7:04 pm
I’m hoping to hear announcements on the PlayStation Eye, Rumble Sixaxis, PSP re-design. More info on Home, LittleBigPlanet, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, WarHawk and Lair, possibly Gran Turismo 5. Plus, an announcement about firmware 2.0 which will finally include in-game XMB access. Then, we’re all good to go.
92
Darren | June 19th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
out of topic, i wonder if i can get pc games to run on the ps3
PSN must stay 90% Free, at least in sport games and some others
I want to play Hockey Online for free
93
Gavi | June 19th, 2007 at 7:23 pm
Oh, I forgot about seeing Hot Shots Golf 5, Killzone 2 and news about The Agency. Plus, could the new game announcements include a Wipeout game? If so, hip hip…..
94
BulletToothTony | June 19th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
well patrick if it’s possible.. please if mgs4 is gonna stay exclusive, you should announce this.. there is soooooooo many threads and news about it going to 360, about 10 each week, it’s just soooo annoying.. please end the pain.. lol.. and i think it would be great to send the announcements to the psn store, now that would be cool
95
troy300 | June 19th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
HEY PATRICK. I think you have a very nice bum.
96
troy300 | June 19th, 2007 at 7:42 pm

97
Godofwar55555 | June 19th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
I hope that Sony announces a new Syphon Filter game for the Ps3 and a new Twisted Metal and Wipeout Ps3. That would be sweet.

seamonkey420 | June 19th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
i hope they anounce the ability to use the PSP to act as a remote for the PS3 multimedia capbilities.
add to my current wishlist, ability to use PSP to control PS3 audio/video/pictures but allow video/sound be outputted onto TV and strereo PS3 is connected tooo!!
oh yea, i’d love the XMB in game too like everyone else, perhaps we’ll get our wish!
99
Noname | June 19th, 2007 at 7:52 pm
Here are three games that need to make returns and be exclusive to PS3:
-Legend Of Dragoon [You own the IP so use it.]
-Parasite Eve [Tell'm to make it like the first one not the second, which made it too third person shootery.]
-Jet Set Radio [A bit niche, but it was cool so get that IP from Sega and make a updated version of it.]
I guess thats about it for the impossible demands that will never be realized.

GreyWulf | June 19th, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Would of been nice to see this video on my PS3 perhaps on the next update.
Not sure why on Playstation sites dont support video on a PS3.
And perhaps the next E3 could be on Playstation HOME.
