Forums - Sony - Latest Rumors From GDC 22March09

Yuyyder on 24 March 2009


A member of our forums (Teeda) was kind enough to share some of the latest rumors involving the Game Developers Conference with us. There are some very interesting tidbits in there that should make every PlayStation fan very happy should they pan out to be true. Here's the latest:

New 80gb PS3 bundled with 2 games will be launched at the end of March.it will cost 399$ (already confirmed).- New 40gb ps3 sku will be launched this May. The cost will be 299$.

- PSP slide will be shown for the first time in this year's E3. The launch is next year.

- The currently available PSP model will get a price cut too. The cost will be 119$.

- Fumito Ueda will be there at GDC '09. He will announce 2 projects. One of them is Shadow of the Colossus Online.

- Syphon Filter is underway to PS3. Apparently the developers are using the same engine behind Killzone2.

- Insomniac is developing a new action platformer RPG. It looks like a Zelda clone.

- Jak 4 is on the way too.

- Daxter 2 will be ready at the time of PSP slide launch.

- Legend of Dragoon is under development and is to be launched in japan this year.



These are being reported as rumors, nothing more, so until GDC has come and gone take them with a grain of salt. Very exciting if true, however!

So i am guessin the exclusive game that they were talking over at psxtreme and spending hours tyring to whittle down to a list of 5 is syphon filter.

If insomniac is really doing a new action platformer rpg i cant wait to see what it is!

I guess the news that i am really hyped about will be insomniac and legend of dragoon. is it port ? or is it legend of dragoon 2 ? or is it a HD remake of the legend of dragoon ? I surely cant wait! Sony is on a roll. wow. this is the year of the ps3.

299$ PS3? bye bye Sony, well atleast the gaming department.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

 How can you be sure whether or not Sony is making a profit off every PS3 sold?



Prediction:

TGS this year for PS3 will be amazing.

Grandia comes to PSN(PSone classic).

First Versus gameplay this year.

The Adventures Of Duane and Brando

I personally think it would be awful. So I refuse to believe it exists until I see something official.

New 40gb ps3 sku will be launched this May. The cost will be 299$.


That's unlikely, I don't think 40Gb HDDs are even manufacured as standard anymore.

I can see of all this happening but not at GDC. It makes sense for a lot of this to be shown at E3 instead.
