I've just walked around the booths for about 40 minutes, looking for most of the big PS3 games. I've still have to see a few, and of course these are just impressions of what I saw other people playing and it will have to be confirmed while playing with a pad. The first videos should be online in about one hour or a bit more.

 

Devil May Cry 4: No surprise here, this is some typical Capcom goodness. Fans of the series won't be disappointed as the gameplay and the camera system looks a lot like what we had in DMC3, but of course the graphics took a severe upgrade. Very smooth moving too.

MGS4: The trailer is running on a loop at Konami's booth. It looks as hot as ever, obviously, but I was a tad badly surprised by the framerate from time to time.

Lair: The gameplay sequences in flight in the mountains look really good, but once you get close to the castles and the humans on the ground it looks a bit weird. I you do not like HDR effects you will hate that game with a passion as they are almost overdone. The framerate is also very jerky.

Motorstorm: I had never seen this game running in real life before, and what I saw was quite disappointing. The physics are excellent, but the framerate is all over the place, and worst of all the speed sensation was totally lacking. This is one game I really want to go back and check out again as I simply couldn't believe my eyes. I hope it was only that the 4 people playing at that time didn't know what they were doing...

Gran Turismo HD: Now this is something I never think I'd saw, ever. Imagine a Gran Turismo games being shown with slowdowns? Well, this is happening right now on the moutain track at least. Something must be wrong with the demo units.

Virtua Fighter 5: A perfect arcade port, already running at a perfect 60 fps on a lot of demo stations. Very good looking.

Virtua Tennis 3: Another perfect port, running on 1080p screens and looking very very sharp. Replays and closeups are running at 30 fps though.

 

That's it for now. I'm very surprised by the number of games really lacking in the framerate department. The devs still have a few weeks to optimize their games for launch though, so hopefully everything will be fine in the end.

TGS 2006: PS3 Percentages

Find out how far along all the PS3 games are at this point.

 

Sony's got a bunch of PS3 games on display here at TGS, from launch titles to games that aren't due out for another two years. We've done some reasearch (actually, we just checked the official TGS booklet) and learned just how far along the games are at this point.

 

Here is a listing of percentage completions for PS3 TGS titles. We haven't listed the games that have a "?" percentage.

 

Virtua Fighter 5: 70%

Sega Golf Club: 70%

Sonic the Hedgehog 3: 75%

Armored Core 4: 80%

Coded Arms Assault: 50%

Ridge Racer 7: 100%

Gundam Target in Sight: 80%

Gran Turismo HD: 50%

Warhawk: 50%

Unknown Realm: 30%

LAIR: 35%

Motorstorm: 60%

The Eye of Judgment: 70%

Genji: 70%

Resistance: 85%

Minna no Golf 5: 30%

Heavenly Sword: 65%

 

It should be clear which of these games is going to launch with the system, and which will likely keep us waiting. Ridge Racer 7, for instance, is already complete! Minna no Golf (aka Hot Shots Golf) on the other hand, looks like it won't be making it out at launch.

 

Stay tuned for impressions on all these games as the show continues.

TGS 2006: Live From the Sony Keynote

Kutaragi outlines Sony's plans for the PlayStation 3.

 

 

 

5:27pm: We're waiting to get into the conference right now. Here's a picture of a sign.

 

 

 

5:37: At long last, they've let us into the keynote hall. Kutaragi's speech doesn't begin until 10:00am (that would be 6:00pm Pacific time), but here's a picture of a sign.

 

 

 

6:10: The keynote is beginning with a sensational introduction from the CESA (the organizers of TGS).

 

6:11: Ken Kutaragi set to speak about "PS3 Creating Next Generation of Computer Entertainment." He takes the stage and thanks CESA and Nikkei BP (the latter is a sponser of the show).

 

6:12: Sony has brought over 200 PS3 systems to the event.

 

6:15: Kutaragi shows a set of trailers

 

1. Ridge Racer 7: Looks fast and fun, with clear graphics. At a glance, it looks more impressive than the Ridge Racer 6, but I'll have to see both to compare.

 

2. Virtua Fighter 5: I'm not sure if the trailer is from the PS3 version or not, as I think I 've seen it before. Whatever the case, the PS3 version is said to look identical to the arcade version, so there probably wouldn't be a difference.

 

6:19: More trailers:

 

3. Gundam: Target in Sight: The environments are much improved. There's a beach-level with gorgeous water and forestry. The mechs look exactly like they did in the early footage.

 

4. Final Fantasy XIII: Appears to be the same trailer as was shown at E3

 

6:20: The trailers have finished. The reason these clips were chosen was because Kutaragi wanted to show how far the game industry has advanced since the original PlayStation was released.

 

6:24: Kutaragi is going on and on about computers and changes in technology and networking and servers the likes. He hasn't used the term "4D" yet.

 

6:27: Kutaragi is sharing his vision on networking. We'll be uploading the keynote speech later on today so you can see for yourself what he says (and if you understand it, please send us an e-mail with an explanation).

 

6:49: The keyword for Sony is innovation. Without innovation, the industry won't move forward. Kutaragi believes creativity should be the basis of the computer industry.

 

Kutaragi feels that networking is not at the point where it needs to be. Servers haven't reached the internal bus speed of the first generation PlayStation. They don't have sufficient power to carry out the computations at the level of the PlayStation 2.

 

In ten years, it's possible that something like the PlayStation 3 will be overkill because servers will be so powerful.

 

6:59: He makes a mention of emulated games on the PlayStation 3. Users will be able to play emulated games, which is something he talked about back at the time of the time of the PlayStation 2's announcement. He specifically makes mention today of Mega Drive and PC Engine title, but this isn't confirmation that games from these systems will be available on the PS3.

 

Kutaragi also mentions YouTube style downloads -- people uploading their own videos. Again, he's not talking about specific network features for the system, just sharing something Sony is interested in doing.

 

Sony will have 15,000 PS3 units installed in shop fronts throughout the world. Sony wants to have these connected via network and then used as promotional tools -- it's currently speaking with retailers about this.

 

Sony is considering having the retail kiosks used as arcade-style units, so people can pay 100 yen or so to play a game.

 

7:04: He says Sony will take the initiative to lead the next 10 years of gaming. He expects the PS3 to play an important part in the movement. "I feel very pleased to be involed with the PlayStation 3."

 

7:05: Another trailer sequence is starting! Woo-Hoo!

 

7:07: The trailer sequence was just one trailer -- for Afrika.

 

The trailer starts off with a bunch of clips of animals. A group of elephants -- young and old. The camera pans out to reveal hundrdes of wild animals. Then, a scene of giraffes against the setting sun. We then see predators eating their prey, then hippos, rhinos -- all sorts of wild life. Finally, a cheeta chasing down its prey.

 

We're still not sure what the game is about. However, at the very end of the clip, we see a person in a car looking out on the landscape. This seems to be a hint as to the nature of the game.

 

The footage is all real time and has overwhelming detail, from the animal models to the environments, with individual blades of grass. You'll definitely want to check out the trailer when it goes online.

 

7:11: They're preparing for a Q&A session now.

 

7:15: The Q&A session is just a guy from Nikkei BP asking Kutaragi questions. Assuming he asks any game related questions (something that doesn't deal with Kutaragi's wild visions of the PS3 rendering human beings from bacteria), we'll let you know.

 

7:21: Question about further delay of the PS3's manufacturing. Kutaragi apologizes for the shiping problems, but says they're working hard.

 

7:22: A question on why HDMI only is in the high level version of the PS3 only. Kutaragi explains that sony was worried that if they put the HDMI in the lower version, some would complain about having to pay for something they don't want. However, HDMI penetration has come faster than expected. He then asks people if they want HDMI in all models. Everyone in the audience says yes. He then confirms that all models, including the 20 gig version, will have an HDMI port.

 

From what we can tell, this is only for Japan. You'll have to wait for overseas confirmation to see if this applies in your territory as well.

 

7:25: Now a question on the price. Kutaragi says the Japanese media and retailers have complained about the cost of the system. He then confirms that the price for the 20 gig model in Japan will, including tax, now be below 50,000 yen. This model will include the HDMI port. He doesn't give the exact price.

 

7:30: The keynote comes to an end.

 

 

50,000.00 JPY = 429.663 USD

Price cuts slated for Playstation 3

 

...

The original plan was that the console would cost ¥62,790 or $539, depending on which side of the Pacific you were on. However, this price was widely considered as being outrageous.

 

Sony's latest price tag is ¥49,980 yen or $430.

 

This is still expensive, but a bit more competitive when you consider it will come with its very own Blu-ray player.
