Sony's E3 press conference will be broadcast live from Los Angeles this evening at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET or use the converter). We know you can't all be in LA to watch it live, so just watch it here instead.

The stream will actually start five minutes before the event begins. Once it concludes, it will rebroadcast the conference in its entirety after about a five-minute delay.

So what do you think Sony will unveil?

          They are adding rumble to their controllers, and 2 little joystick things.

          Can't think what game would take advantage of those.

          June 10, 2013 5:52 PM

          Hmmmmm damn that is a tough question....

          If Sony shows a game pimped with crazy Tessellation, high textures but most importantly all the foliage bushes, placeables can all me moved and have physics and you can interact with anything. Attacks cause everything to be dynamic basically something that is not static and you go "Holy Shit Everything! moves and is alive and has meaning", not only would the game look amazing and beautiful it would sound amazing and be nearly 100% alive.

          This would do it.

                I normally don't get offended over that sort of thing, but the semi-scripted quality of it in the context of presenting the background matchmaking function pushed it a little over the top for me. I don't need my rape jokes marketed at me by corporate shills - that's kind of my last straw, hehe.

                  The scripts where pretty bad I almost think it be better if the demo peps would just shut up and say nothing and if anything let the dev say something or project lead.

                  That script was pretty bad I admit, was stupid but I was too busy looking at the moving hair/fur of Sabrewulf it looked really good and the 3d backgrounds and particles.

      Turns out Sony now has the rights to several Nintendo franchises so we can expect truly next-generation versions of Metroid, Zelda, Kid Icarus and F-Zero.

      The new Metroid will be the most beautiful side scroller ever created and require at least two hundred hours to 100%.

      It will be the greatest announcement in the history of video games.

          did MS really have that requirement for XBLA?

          none of this really seems like that much of a change from the PSN/XBLA status quo.

          the thing is, nobody really knows what MS's or PSN's contracting model is. all we know is that after a certain point XBLA developers started getting fucked, and usually it had to do with how they did cert/patches.

        It's hard to tell on the streams but the overall IQ looks to be much higher and the games look a lot denser than they were.

        You aren't really seeing a jump in poly or texture quality though which was always made the move to next generations more obvious.

        As long as they don't charge for apps access (e.g. Netflix, HBO Go), I'm fine with it. Seems like there's a decent amount of value baked in, and if you can get annual subs on sale like you can with MS Points or Gold Cards, you'll prolly only pay $35/year.

        Yep. I'm becoming more and more of a PC gamer but I'll totally buy a ps4 after a year or two after there's more games and a price drop.

      Biggest unanswered question regarding the PS4?

      For me it's the load times / can a disc be installed / is it required in the drive? etc

      Hoping it's not going to be a repeat of the PS3.

          June 10, 2013 8:12 PM

          I know that all too well. Like I said on the PS3 it's a half-assed solution to get around BD read times, it's rarely the whole game being installed, and those games are still slow to load as it will read from the disc for the rest of the data.

          Now I know digital games will run entirely from the hard drive, but I'm wondering if you'll be able to fully install any disc based game ( like you currently on the 360 for example ), and if the disc is required to be in the drive regardless. I'd also like to know what speed the BD drive is also.

        1) You can play the fucking thing OFFLINE, as has been tradition since the beginning of time.

        2) You can play used games and swap games with your friends, as has been tradition since the beginning of time.

        3) Better hardware. This step will take a while to kick in, but give the system about 3 years and you'll see some breathtaking stuff.

        4) Social features that tie into gaming, such as: watch your friend play his game via live stream to decide if it's a game you might want to try; share videos and screenshots from your games; let a friend play your game remotely to get you past tough spots.

        5) More and more interesting exclusives.

        6) $100 less than Xbox One.

        June 10, 2013 8:29 PM

        Well I pre-ordered one

        1) Cheaper then XBone
        2) More consumer friendly DRM
        3) Sony has a really strong group of several first party developers
        4) Indie games support. While I will have a gaming PC to play all of these I do want to support it. Plus I may get a Vita down the road so having some of those games on the go could be really cool to

        While I have little doubt I'll get an XBone overtime as they get their exclusives, however my game time is so limited right now with my new job (travel each week) and my shitty home life that I'll do just fine with my PS4, PC and 3DS when I do have time to game and get one down the road after a price drop and some really good exclusives.

        Great conference Sony and thanks for focusing on games

        That's one of the easiest things they can refine from now to near-launch. Hopefully there's still a priority on lightning-fast response, considering that was a priority in the XMB (even if intuitive menu placement wasn't as high a priority), and that Microsoft still has a legacy of sluggish Dashboards haunting them.

      so, sony has the better plan for DRM and a better price point. though, i really dont care about the stuff MS put in place for the xbox one.

      I cant say that any of the games they showed off really excited me though :/

      i like integrated twitch on the xbox, and the controller has always been better. right now i feel like the few exclusives that remain are a bit more interesting for me on xbox, and I think the TV stuff is cool.

      I'm a little disappointed in what sony showed game wise, because going into it i was more excited for it i think

      • reply
        June 10, 2013 8:18 PM

        The exclusive games were kind of underwhelming from both sides, though I do appreciate Sony's interest in indie development. That's going to pay off big time over the console's life with many awesome games.

        Can't say I care about streaming console games at all. I know some people are all up on that stuff, but twitch or ustream, don't give a fuck. Same with the TV garbage. blah.

            Well, exclusives were a big part of it last gen. For me it wasn't just the AAAs but the smaller downloadable games on XBLA and PSN as well.

            I bought played just as many of those as I did the full releases, can't say their increased support for indies does nothing for me. It's more exciting than almost anything either company has put forward imo.

      • reply
        June 10, 2013 8:18 PM

        Game wise, I agree. The best games shown tonight were indie titles and those are also (assuming here) available on the PC, what's the point?

        That said the better price point and lack of DRM is pushing me towards the PS4.

          June 10, 2013 8:21 PM

            if they keep the perks of PS+ going then the $5/mo will be more than worth it. and that's still 50% of Live's announced price.

              i'd be pretty sure of a price increase if they keep the perks. i don't care - if they make things slicker it's fully worth it (xbl too)

          yeah there's too much uncertainty about what of what we saw today (from both) are actually launch titles (for the ones that even showed gameplay to be excited about)

          June 10, 2013 8:54 PM

          I'm excited about Watch Dogs and Dead Rising 3, neither of which are exclusives. The only exclusive that really grabbed my attention was Project Spark which is an Xbox One exclusive. Madden also looked good, although I've stayed away from it for a few years now seeing as I always seem to hate it and regret my purchase.

          All that said, I am uncertain which system I'll ultimately end up with. I pre-ordered them both and will decide later. Although I've never liked the PS controllers and I'm not counting on that changing but I hope I can try out a store demo before they are actually launched. I also never buy used games and I rarely sell my games so that isn't a big deal to me, and I am in favor of supporting developers as much as I can.

          I'm primarily pre-ordering because my launch PS3 is dying, and not having a netflix + bluray box in the house will cause relationship drama. It's also a way of voting with my wallet, as Sony is being fairly pro-consumer this time around (no, I never thought I would write that either).

        They didn't to have as stark a contrast as this match-up seems to have. Hell the one thing that really helped the PS3 at that price if I remember right was it was basically the cheapest blu-ray player on the market at the time. The Xbox One has a fuck ton of baggage.

            I work with a bunch of people who play games way more than I do honestly, but don't spend time on these communities. They were all excited after the Xbox announcement, and have no idea what is special about the PS4. They pre-ordered the Xbox One, and won't look at the PS4. Just a small anecdote, far from conclusive either way, but don't take these forums as gospel truth. Gaming communities are the minority. CoD and Madden players are the majority.

        I don't, considering their corporate culture and how things have been changing over there. Look at Win8. Look at GfWL. Or at Windows Phone. The entertainment division was more or less isolated until a couple of years ago, but once it started earning money and visibility, I bet it was taken over by people that don't have a good grasp of the gaming market.

      What I find most refreshing about Sony's E3 conference is that they appear to have learned from how badly they fucked up in the early stages of the PS3's lifecycle. They set their console at a reasonable price and aimed it at gamers and game developers. I'm impressed. Props to Sony.

And they previously kept denying that their viewpoint was callous, until Sony stood up and offered more in return for lesser demands.

They've got some good games coming. I suspect they'll ride out the price point for a year and then drop it. Or that's probably their hope. I bet they don't do anything till launch.

I thought Microsoft had this new gen on lock down but now I think they are in serious trouble. If the warranty is good, I am seriously considering a ps4 on launch.

      Just an FYI for a couple of people who mentioned me (thanks for the thoughts) - I'm blown.the.fuck.away. like BLOWN AWAY at the pricing of both the Xbox One and the PS4 in this country.

      Considering the dollar is going tits up right now, I'm quite genuinely thinking they may consider a price hike in this region in the next year. Seriously, we're basically barely being ripped off at all, nothing like before. Just nothing like it, much much closer to the US prices.

      Less than 600$ is pocket change, it really is. Amazing - well done to both MS and Sony on that aspect.
      Amazing.

        I always forget the US price doesn't include sales tax, while ours always include GST, so it isn't that bad. I'm quite surprised.

        Hopefully the AUD rebounds soon, I don't want to go back to paying insane amounts for steam purchases.

          The AUD is heading for serious trouble from what I hear. It'll be a miracle if they maintain these prices. It's already probably the most cheapest console (both of them) outside of America - after conversion.

          We're spoilt, for a change.

            It doesn't have that much further to fall if the claims it'll settle at 85c of USD are correct, 93.5c currently.

            I'm assuming they price in at least 12 months of currency fluctuations. I'd be very, very surprised if their pricing guys aren't all over economic forecasts for this kind of thing. It makes a big difference to their bottom line.

              Agreed, so why is it so close now? Seriously it's nuts, remember US price is sans tax, our is inc tax - plus, I know we all say "You're ripping us off!!!!" but honestly, there IS more cost to producing the consoles for this region. Documentation, longer warranty, less install base and so on.

                Remember Sony is a Japanese company. The fluctuation in the USD-AUD rate likely doesn't matter so much to them.

                Also they will hedge the shit out of their foreign currency sales. They probably already know the rate they'll be getting on the AUD to <whatever they care about> for as long as the console will be sold at its current price point.

      Finally watching this. The crowd reaction to the used games / drm stuff was bananas as fuck.
