Thank you Cagalli,

I read that in the vgchartz forums, the problem was that I just figured out it came from xbox forums. Any how, What happened to go sports ski!? taht game I want, since its not only 3d but it uses 6 axis. Dam I want games already, Im going to buy warhawk on saturday, and then heavenly sword. IGN gave it a 7.0 which is very wierd.(killzone got a 7.5 from them..) still going to get it though. I will buy alot of PSN games(FF VII on ps1 games would be awsome) if go spots ski comes out I bet it will outsell calling all cars.

Thanks for the Blog post on the Expo. I attended on Friday and Saturday. I loved the booth and the chance to play a demo of the games. Thanks for attending and I look forward to your booth next year.

Seattle WA is home to two of three Console companies. PAX has been going strong for years and is a very large Expo. They don’t just do video games, you can get into Tabletop games here.

The world in Conflict launch party was a smash. As was the first public live demo of Assassins Creed.

Protip: Sony is the third, and not in Redmond WA.

I went to PAX yesterday. I had a blast. I got a ton of cool stuff from the sony booth. My friends and I did the scavenger hunt for Uncharted. I won a piece of signed artwork and a t-shirt. woo hoo! also got a god of war: chains of olympus shirt. along with demo discs and posters.

If you’re at PAX today. Do the scavenger hunt in a group. It was a blast. Just make sure someone can climb a rock wall. Seriously, I didn’t but my friend did.

HS won’t be online but that doesn’t mean that the wont release a mode later on via PSN.

mero4ever  |  August 26th, 2007 at 4:44 pm

@Cagalli, Thanks for your reply, sorry didn’t see that till now.

another question, we have seen games on both platforms (Xbox, PS3) that are of equal performance and visuals and we unfortunately also seen one that is inferior on the PS3. Is there a coming-soon multi-platform title that will look better on the PS3 and will show its true power?

androvsky  |  August 26th, 2007 at 5:50 pm

Any chance the Penny Arcade game, Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness will ever come to PSN? I noticed it’s coming out for Windows, OSX, and Linux, and XBLA was just announced. People keep saying PC to Xbox ports are really easy, but two of those platforms are OpenGL-only, shouldn’t be that far from a PS3 port.

Scarecrow  |  August 26th, 2007 at 5:52 pm

Heavenly Sword got a perfect 10/10 from PLAY Magazine.

And a 4.5/5 from GamePro magazine.

Two of the most respected gaming mags out there.

Will get? YOU BET!

Cagalli  |  August 26th, 2007 at 6:00 pm

mero4ever, there are games like DMC4 that have started their development/optimizations on the PS3. Ones in specific are Dark Sector, Sega Rally Revo, Burnout Paradise, Unreal Tournament III, and others I can’t think of at the moment. As Phil Harrison stated in a recent interview, I think we’ll see more third parties get the support they need and begin more of their development first on PS3 and then port to 360 because it’s in theory easier to do so without screwing over the PS3 version in the process.

Cesar  |  August 26th, 2007 at 7:16 pm

Folklore is a awesome game i play the demo and i love its a MUST BUY, I would like to say that ps3 is getting better RPG’s because that was the backbone of the ps1 and the ps2 i been playing RPG’s since my grandmother got me a playtation 1 with final fantasy 7 so everytime i think Playstation i think RPGs

chase  |  August 26th, 2007 at 7:21 pm

warhawk rules

Cesar  |  August 26th, 2007 at 7:31 pm

OK about Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune it look good and different game but with all those other games that are coming out this year is on my Top = 5 ps3 games and I also have a Top - 5 PSP games since I just Pre-order the PSP Slim, Final Fantasy 7 Especial Edition with Crisis Core from Japan, there is some people like me that love FF, and oh yea i pay $428.00 dollars for it, I know the American UMB movies dont work on it, but i hope it work with my American PS3

chase  |  August 26th, 2007 at 7:33 pm

is lair coming out 8/30

Cagalli  |  August 26th, 2007 at 7:38 pm

@chase, I think Lair is street dated for 8/31, at least at my work, it is.

deadxbabiesxinc  |  August 27th, 2007 at 5:59 am

i loved the Timshift trailer…more than the actual game. Sadly another FPS, I feel like the “next-gen” consoles we’re named after they felt saying “FPS Gen” didn’t have the same NEW feeling. -Sigh- another game i won’t buy for any system.

amras_telemnar  |  August 27th, 2007 at 10:19 am

I wonder when the 1.91/2.0 update is coming…

They usually send the firmwares out between the 17th & the 24th each month.
If a Sony representative could give us some clue of when we can expect it, it would have been nice.

TCampbell76  |  August 27th, 2007 at 10:56 am

You know when corporate PR uses the term ‘noob’ or ‘tricked out’, then it is time to retire the pop culture words. lol

crazyeighty8  |  August 27th, 2007 at 1:32 pm

Theres got to be 20 demos on PSN at the moment (how many do you actually play?) and almost as many full games. Not that bad 6 Months after launch (UK). Xbox had a fully developed LIVE even before the 360 launch. Sony are gonna be behind in that department, at least till the launch of HOME.

MrCamo  |  August 27th, 2007 at 2:12 pm

Sony rocks with reliable releases every week, sometimes it is a game, sometimes a video, but it is always nice to come home and see what they have for me on friday. hanks for updating us on something that we could have no part of or information about two years ago. XBOX is already behind as they have an inferior machine that is nearing the end of it’s cycle.

MrCamo  |  August 27th, 2007 at 2:15 pm

Oh yeah to post No 17. It is not like they are waisting game time with the movies. They are something that takes a team a week or less to get out to sony, and i like to watch / download them from my PSP from work via Remote Play. What can be better than messing around at work on your PS3 than downloading little movies and games?

mobiletone  |  August 27th, 2007 at 2:31 pm

Official Playstation Magazine….

in the UK we still get this, for both the ps2 (with demo disc) and the spanky ps3 with a cover blu-ray. i think you americans should start demanding it back if it’s been cancelled like you say.

lets all hope warhawk turns up on thursday. as quoted.

is it me or has this blogs content died lately?
bring the devs back, we want real news not corporate PR blurb and sales stat’s.

@jennifer 79 - are all the mods at PAX? quit spamming

joel  |  August 27th, 2007 at 2:53 pm

If lair comes out this month, Im getting that instead of warhawk. I can get warhawk later on.

40cal  |  August 27th, 2007 at 3:31 pm

To much stuff coming out to fast. Warhawk, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Folklore (the demo sold me), and I have to upgrade my PSP. All in the next 43 days. Oh and I forgot about Socom for PSP. Thats like me giving Sony $10.00+ per day for the next 43 days. I sould just buy stock. LOL After Folklore I am not spending anymore money on Playstation until Singstar. So that gives me like what? 21 days.LOL Keep the content coming.

xplosneer  |  August 27th, 2007 at 3:40 pm

@79 what happened to comment monitoring sony?

TONX  |  August 27th, 2007 at 5:54 pm

Sooo. Why isn’t there a blog about Warhawk coming out tonight at midnight? Give me a reason to check this blog daily guys…

40cal  |  August 27th, 2007 at 8:46 pm

yes a blog update would be nice. along with a new poll.

saunderswan  |  August 28th, 2007 at 8:13 am

Firmware details PLEASE. feed us the juicy fruits and make us all plump little chickens

chacal81  |  August 28th, 2007 at 10:17 am

warhawk rulz..

keving02886  |  August 28th, 2007 at 11:02 am

There has been lots of talk on game sights that the PSP is going to go the way of the dodo. I hope this is not true, becuse there are some that can afford the PS3 just as yet. Also, when is Playstation network going to be allowed (if at all) for the PSP Users with out hte PS3?

saunderswan  |  August 28th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

i have heard a Rumour on the circuit about GT5 Prologue saying that it is to be a free download from the PSN i was hopein that someone (if there is anyone reading these) would clear this up and either confirm or deny this Rumour. i also agree with some other posts about this Blog bein for Sales Reps & Industry sales STATS which neither i care about if i wanted to buy a console that has good sales i would have bought a 360 but noo i pay £500 for a QUALITY console of the future. SO PLEASE TRY HARDER TO SPEND 30 MINUITES TO UPDATE THIS BLOG as i spent £500 (in faith) on MY PS3

stennex  |  August 28th, 2007 at 12:03 pm

Warkawk Rules!

joel  |  August 28th, 2007 at 2:01 pm

Omg… I think that this is the first month in the history of the ps3’s life that we dont get a firmware update. I bet its 2.0 And they wont release it until october for HOME. WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!

Warhawk is awsome man!!

xplosneer  |  August 28th, 2007 at 2:52 pm

WOW Sony I wee the blog update it’s AWESOME!

Danny  |  August 28th, 2007 at 3:08 pm

and how about the PSN?

Is GT prologue gonna be free????

severeon  |  August 28th, 2007 at 4:15 pm

@Sheila Bryson

I guess it is a little late, but my advice was to bring 2 bottles of headache meds, an mp3 player, and a can of deodorant spray… the last item is for the crowd of smelly gamers…

Ultimate  |  August 28th, 2007 at 4:40 pm

i hope there’s an update by the end of august

XROOK  |  August 28th, 2007 at 5:46 pm

im tired of sony dragging there feet, ive been checking out the wii and what you can get for downloadable games and im thinking of selling my ps3 and buying one, so sony better do something quick.

Cagalli  |  August 28th, 2007 at 5:49 pm

XROOK, um Warhawk just came out, Lair is out Friday and in a couple weeks, there’s Heavenly Sword… I have a Wii as well, but my PS3 gets way more play time.

saunderswan  |  August 28th, 2007 at 7:35 pm

#83 @keving02886
Have you not been paying enough attention to the scene PLAYTV look it up PSP is the PS3’s THIRD EYE any time you wanna offer me a job sony am open

SoKold  |  August 29th, 2007 at 8:43 pm

PsychoEddie

“I disagree. It was terrible.

The game play is gameboy-esque; at best! The Vic20 graphics are a disgrace. You want me to spend 65 bucks for a game and I have to READ the GD dialog? Hello!? McFly! Hire voice actors! If I wanted to read, I’d have bought a book. It screams Gigli i tells ya.”

You do know that this games is kind of like a Port from the Japanese original Folksole they’ve changed the language to English when it comes to the FMV clips that has voice’s in i mean the will CGI FMV clips it just the other bits you have to read and alot of people like reading. there gonna change something thats done so well in japan just for the rest of the world.

SoKold  |  August 29th, 2007 at 8:45 pm

@Darkendless

“wow heavenly sword 7/10
lair 5/10
warhawk 6.5/10

ps3 is dead in the face of metroid, halo 3, bioshock, super smash”

This looks like a great and sounds like a great game i don’t care what reviews say its got a great story line so I’m gonna buy it. People need to stop relying on reviews to know if the game is good or not or u know the person doing the review for the game may not like does types of games and will give it a bad mark/score review.

If you like the sound of a game but ant sure about it go to blockbuster and rent the game out and try it out then you will know if it is good or not don’t rely on reviews and other peoples opinion and try the game out.

And when it comes to WarHark my friend bought it from the PS store in USA and said the Game kicks ass he said its a Triple A game so i’m gonna buy that today.
