Agreed. E3 was a huge bust and SCEE is by far the best part of sony.

SCEE has pretty much two studios that haven't been transferred to making casual games or outright shut down: Media Molecule and Guerilla

Media Molecule did show the best game of that conference (Tear Away), and then showed a gimmicky LBP2 DLC.

Guerilla showed a pretty decent looking PSP game.

Now compare those two to the entire American Sony lineup.

How could you forget Studio Liverpool, the guys behind Wipeout HD no less...tut tut, shame on you. 

Britain disowned Liverpool a long time ago, and I imagine Europe has done the same.

Also Studio Liverpool hasn't made a new game since 2008, and Wipeout 2048 doesn't look especially innovative or exciting. Though I did love Wipeout HD back in the day.

You're a crazy man! Crazy! HD/Fury is probably in my top 5 PS3 games. And 2048 is the usual high quality, just yeh not anything massively new. 

Liverpool the location is a shit hole though yes.

DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM ME WITH YOUR WALL OF GREY.

Seriously, though, 5 years ago I would have agreed with you, but the city has changed substantially in the past few years.  Plenty of it is like a completely different place.

In before "but the people...".  I agree with that.  No worse than London though!

I suppose you did give us the Beatles, so 1960s Liverpool is more than welcome in Britain.

Unfortunately, SCE Liverpool Studio wasn't around then

:(

My friends (I wish!) down at Psygnosis gave us such wonders as Colony Wars, WipEout & G-Police.  They helped out many a British developer in the 1990's - DMA Design (aka Rockstar North) & Reflections (Driver) being the two best examples.

Even nowardays their XDev team have worked on Motorstorm, LittleBigPlanet, Heavenly Sword etc.

Sure, they've been quieter in terms of retail releases for a while now, but I think people just look at them and say "Oh, WipEout" without actually researching what they really do.  Or at the very least, what they've done in the past!

Psygnosis did have quite a wide range, yes. But then Sony acquired them and seems to have said "No, you will only make Wipeout."

And Livepool may have helped with those three, but even those were 4-5 years ago and mostly developed by other studios (like Evolution, which is now gone).

Matches the colours of Liverpool then.

To be honest, I'm sure you can find good and bad people everywhere; it's just that your bad people have guns and are twelve years old.

But let's get back on topic now. Liverpool studio is one of only a handful of respectable European Sony studios now that Evolution is gone.

You're the second person I've seen say something along these lines today.  Evolution are very much still a part of SCE and still making games.  They just released some Motorstorm RC DLC in the past few weeks, I think!

Sorry Kres, I haven't been there for a long time so I'm not qualified to talk about it at all, my bad  

Haha, London is full of shitty people though I can confirm that! 



I thought it was awful tbh. Boring, just plain boring.



It was awesome. SCEJ on fire!
