Guten tag! Gamescom, the world’s largest gaming event, officially opens its doors tomorrow. But the action begins today with PlayStation’s Gamescom press conference. And lucky you — you can watch live starting at 10:00am Pacific Time (1:00pm Eastern) today with our dedicated livestream!
A quick note: much like E3 is targeted to the US audience and Tokyo Game Show is targeted at Japan, the gamescom press conference is primarily aimed at European gamers, so please keep that in mind as you watch. Not everything mentioned or shown today will necessarily apply to those of us in North America. We’ll post on all appropriate things for the North American market, however, just as we always do.
If you don’t see the video above this sentence, please refresh your page. It should then appear.
At the conclusion of the livestream, refresh PlayStation.Blog to see game trailers and in-depth details from many of the titles revealed on stage. There will be a lot of content to take in, so consider checking out our dedicated gamescom13 Blog tag so you don’t miss a thing! And we’ll keep the Gamescom train rolling all week long with hands-on previews, announcements, and interviews straight from the show floor. It should be a good (and busy!) week — please let us know your favorite picks in the comments! If you happen to miss the live show, no worries: the entire conference will play on a loop for the next 24 hours or so.
After the conference, stick around to see a live panel discussion featuring Worldwide Studios president (and Treasure Park master) Shuhei Yoshida, Beyond: Two Souls director David Cage and Assassin’s Creed writer Darby McDevitt for a lively discussion around storytelling and narrative development in game design. Should be a good one — don’t miss it!
And keep an eye on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram all week long for an inside look at gamescom’s finest. We’ve got some great stuff planned — auf wiedersehen!
who ever is controlling the camera i want smack em upside the head…..keep the camera on the game footage..why zoom out to a crowd shot every 3 seconds?
did anybody catch what power delsin just got?
Hey Sony, tell the director of your live stream to stop cutting to wide shots during trailers, it’s really hard to watch footage when you keep pulling back like that, no one wants to see the damn crowd during a trailer, ridiculous.
Stop zooming out! The director is a d-bag.
This is probably the worst camera work I’ve ever seen Sony do. I’m watching the audience half the time instead of the preview trailers. I never get to see the logos or the names of what I’m watching because the camera just zooms back out to look at the audience. You don’t watch the audience when watching movie trailers so why am I stuck watching this conference audience? Please stop giving me internet rage camera ppl kthx.
Freezing too much!:(
Also I should point out, even during people just talking, the camera is still changing every 6 seconds. Watch something six seconds, SUDDENLY A DIFFERENT CAMERA FOR ONE SECOND. Then back for six seconds and repeat rage.
seriously, WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAMERA MAN?
I JUST WANT TO WATCH A FULL AND COMPLETE TRAILER AND THE SCENE KEEPS MOVING AND TRANSITING.
SPOTIFY…. HBO GO…… WATCH ESPN……
On PS4 PLEASE!!!!!
PLEASE don’t put AC 3 for US into IGC! like EU!
It’s over 90Mbps!!
What? It’s 200Mbps!!! I can’t block that!
PS4 Wins Online Gaming, it’s officially the Ultimate Online Gaming Machine.
STOP CUTTING AWAY FROM THE GAME FOOTAGE PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE!!!!!
We are begging you, director, while there is game footage on the screen do not cut to another camera angle!
Alright!! More crowd shots!! Thank god I’m not here to watch any game play or anything, otherwise i might be really angry.
he’s sleeping?
Ugh I care almost as little about AC as I do COD. C’mon, its been milked far enough.
I wasn’t even going to comment…. But this is seriously starting to tick me off.. How do you only expect anyone to stay engaged or interested when you keep cutting from the gameplay, and showing angles where you can’t even see what’s happening? It’s just stupid and makes me want to stop watching lol. -Rant end-
that’s beast: remote play actually works and almost all ps4 games? PLZZZ take ma money!!!!!
All I wanna see is a Teaser for Uncharted 4 and ill be happy!
but seriously whoever is controlling the camera? kill them
Whoever did this camera is horrible. They keep pulling to the back of the crowd instead of going onto the trailers and plays. Makes it hard to watch when they keep backing off of what is the main part. Yup could barely see Aveline when they pulled back, let alone read what it said.
I’m happy Vita memory cards are getting a price reduction.
Good for the Vita. I still want more awesome games to come out. I haven’t really gotten into indies yet. I want more JRPG’s!
Borderland for PS Vita :)))))))……..I really want to annouce option to change your PSN ID.
