PlayStation is Everywhere at San Diego Comic-Con 2011

We’re gearing up for a full slate activities at San Diego Comic-Con 2011 and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at our schedule for the show, since we’re hoping you’ll be a part of it.

As you might expect, we’ll be demoing the latest content from our upcoming titles at our booth on the show floor (#4237). Come check out our booth and go hands-on with games including Resistance 3, Starhawk, UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception, Journey, Twisted Metal and more.

For a special treat, we’re busy putting the finishing touches on custom arcade cabinets for Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One that we’ll be unveiling at our booth this week.

That’s a 40″ Sony Bravia 3Dtv with 3D glasses, custom artwork from Insomniac Games and a set of illuminated custom DualShock 3 controllers painted with the colors of Ratchet, Clank, Qwark and Dr. Nefarious! We can’t wait to set this and the 2D model up on the floor. If you’re going to be at the show, be sure to let us know how the cabinets look and tweet a picture to @PlayStation.

  • I want to go so bad, but got no scratch yo… I’ll have to nerd out via the interwebz.

  • That cabinet is amazing. I’d love to see a ton of detail shots of that thing up on the flickr account, if possible. :)

  • Just waitng for more info on one Epic game called Dragonballz ultimate Tenkaichi

  • Can’t wait for the Uncharted 3 panel!

  • Best Comic-Con EVER!!! Thanks a lot for this Jeff! Looking forward to experiencing Twisted Metal, Starhawk, Journey and Resistance 3 for the first time. You guys are gonna have MAD traffic at the PlayStation show floor booth :)

  • I’d love to have that arcade cabinet in my room :D

  • Lookin forward to Twisted Metal and hopefully LucasArts unveiling Star Wars Battlefront 3! Rumors are high people! Also hoping for some Modern Warfare 3 gameplay!

  • is there any chance we can get this on home…

  • One of the top five panels I want to go to is actually thatgamecompany’s Journey presentation. Hoping I get in, knowing how lines are to everything. Warhawk/Starhawk panel is also something I’m going to try and check out. I’d love to go to all of them, but there’s so much going on that it’s impossible to see everything.

  • heres hoping SONY actually put its boots on with Square enix and announce the release date and NEW GAMEPLAY of one of its long development EXCLUSIVE FFVS13…. and I HOPE!!! for Tokyo Game SHOW for an announce of FF7 REMAKE!!!! pls????

  • That would be great if they announce Battlefront 3. Ratchet and Clank All 4 One looks interesting, but I’m not sure about it yet.

  • would it b on tv and also can yall give me the call of dead map cause i bought and it did not download

  • That’s too bad I live in SD but I will be avoiding downtown like a plague. Record high heat, unwashed masses in sweaty costumes. No thank you.

  • Will you be revealing any new ps vita info there? If so post it on ps blog. I live in AK so I can’t make it there!

  • Comic Con isn’t in NYC?

  • i live 5 miles away but tickets are still a hassle for me to get in the beginning online…if i win some on the radio ill be headin down for a chance at a journey shirt :P

  • Can someone Interview Eric Lempel and ask him why no Cross Game Chat all this time and also why the Playstation.Blog.Share is not even addressed any more since the top three items have not even been addressed since it started.

  • I would love to attend! Come on someone throw me a bone!!!

  • Can I have the cabinet? Please. Just secretly, no one has to know. It will make you feel better knowing you made someone happy! (^-^)

  • Or sell the controllers at retail.

  • Jeff how about a sneak peek at the schwag that’s sure will be given out at the show. Any chance of giving those less fortunate not being able to attend a chance of winning some here on the blog? I’d give one of my own kidneys to get that R3 t-shirt Marcus Smith was rockin at E3.

  • @DarkOne_PR…There is no need for a FF7 remake…Why remake a game that is in the middle of a series??? Doesn’t make sense…FF7 isn’t THAT good of a game to reboot…

  • My last post was just my personal opinion but here is the link talking about no remake………

  • Jeff,

    Did you say “illuminated Dualshock 3 controllers?” Where?!?! Are the going to be mass produced? A yes will get you a very large cookie!

    • Well, they’re illuminated undearneath by the arcade cabinet. They won’t be for sale, unfortunately.

      …I’ll still take the cookie. Promise to give it to Jeff. Maybe.

    • *underneath

      …man I need a cookie *cough* *hint*

  • I have a question its been a long time….dunno if u can answer…Ratchet gonna have a single-player or is just
    co-op?

  • I am buying EVERY single exclusive listed in the post! Seriously. These are all AAA caliber games. So stoked for all of them. SONY, you’ve been SO good this year. Lets keep ’em coming.

    Resistance 3 is up next and I’m so pumped for it. I’ve already preordered and paid it off (and all the others) bit by bit. I’m not rich by any means. I just go to my local store and pay 10 bucks here, 10 bucks there and POW! They’re suddenly paid off. So excited. I recommend my fellow gamers do the same.

    Anyway, hope Comic Con turns out great for you guys. Wish I could go!

  • not throwing a party this year?

  • #28 beat me to it.

    No get together at the Hardrock this year?

  • That R&C cabinet is really awesome!

  • BRING BACK NICKEL ARCADES!!!!

    Get kids of the streets and entertainment place for family.

  • Are Those Arcade R&C going to be for sale?

  • I’m going to try to be at all of these. Hope to see y’all around!

  • COMIC CON!

  • I want that cabinet

  • Can we have an alien ressurection ps1 classic? I’ve always payed those games, and hope the best for colonial marines

  • I would buy the cabinet alone. How much? =D

  • Yay!! another excuse for sony to force 3D down my throat!

  • yay. a store update tomorrow.

  • Will there be any discounts in the PS Store to celebrate? IIRC there was one last year during ComicCon.

  • Gah, I wish I could be there. I’d kill to see Jaffe talk Twisted.

  • Make it live like E3 From home

  • Sounds great and that cabinet looks sweet from that picture. Wish I could go, but I can’t this year. I will hopefully be going next year!

  • I love how two weeks before comic con, Sony pulls the plug on their comic service, and never had it for the PS3.
    Another point is making a game out of a comic book is one thing, but you guys have games made into comics.
    It kinda like my mother in-law just inviting herself to the party if you know what I mean.

  • any chance we can play “wwe all stars” the arcade at comic-con too ?”

  • Oh I live in MD, not in CA. I hope something can come out good in Comic Con for Sony.

  • I wonder why Sony haven’t cash in on, advertising Resistance 3 during Falling Skies.

  • Im going to Comic Con and i can guarantee I will spend most of my time at the Sony booth :D

  • Awesome….mostly looking forward to Uncharted and Starhawk. Will probably check out the others.

  • Good luck at comic con bro’s. Be proud and show pride

  • the arcade machine is full of win!!
