Sony has something big at E3? Duh!

by Jem Alexander { Mar 17th 2008 at 6:00PM }

Excuse us if this post has a bit of a tone, but this whole thing is a bit ridiculous. Other sites are reporting that their sources are saying that Sony "has something huge to announce at E3 this year." We should hope so, too! Saying that Sony has announcements to make at the world's most prominent video game show of the year is a little bit like saying a dog will win "Best in Show" at Crufts next year.

With the lack of any big news coming out of GDC, and no word yet on when Sony will be hosting their next Gamer's Day, all eyes are on E3 for the big news of the year. Sure we know quite a lot of what's coming in 2008, but if you think Sony doesn't have anything up their sleeves then you're crazy. Likewise, Nintendo and Microsoft will be making some big announcements at the event that will "give [them] a boost heading into the holidays." That's kind of the point of E3.

..maybe the new white ps3 will be annoced at e3 this year since no news of it came out at gdc

davey @ Mar 17th 2008 7:00PM

A conference for game developers would be a bit of a strange place to release a new colour of PS3

I bet the news is about something.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 17th 2008 7:00PM

Oh really? Do you think it could be gaming related or maybe Sony has manufactured a new car :O

Wonderflex - Brawl Digits 4811-6636-9333 @ Mar 18th 2008 1:08PM

I'm not sure yet. It does sound like it's going to definitely be about something though. I'm possibly really psyched about this.

Jerses @ Mar 17th 2008 7:02PM

news about news...internet is crazy

Jem, if you're making a veiled reference to the BBC Office ("Crufts") in this post, then I salute you.

chris @ Mar 17th 2008 8:03PM

They'd better show Killzone 2 and Resistance 2, but especially Killzone. Also, a Final Fantasy trailer.

P @ Mar 17th 2008 8:40PM

I think it'd be quite interesting to see an article outlining some of the news from the Sony camp in previous years, the things people werent expecting to see, the success stories and the failures (overhyped and flopped then released etc), stuff like that in the build-up to this years E3.
It might put things into perspective a little, rather than people expecting a KZ3 trailer, EA making an effort on their PS3 titles, or even the possibility of Home going live ;)

and why the heck have i replied to a comment, i CLEARLY recall making sure i wasnt, nubbin forms!

Gurneet @ Mar 17th 2008 8:55PM

Davis @ Mar 17th 2008 9:34PM

Price drop anyone?

dave @ Apr 21st 2008 11:45AM

inside info!!!!!!!!!! its going to be the new ps3 slim.

Marcus @ Mar 17th 2008 11:17PM

Inside info, eh? Could you kindly share where you got that? I can't really believe that Sony would much like having "insiders" talk about something like what they'll be showing at E3. Usually companies like that to be a bit of a suprise.

Fraser JK @ Mar 18th 2008 5:30AM

I can't wait for all the massive explosion, children crying and people screaming in the streets after the E3... for real man, 2008's HUGE announcements are sure to shake the world, if not cause World War III.

I think E3 needs to be a little later. It should be at September to fulfill the "push to holiday" momentum purpose. I mean, during May? You'd have another 7 months for E3 to cool off. September makes more sense, then comes Q3 of the year where some games start rolling off, and then Q4 when everything comes off. And E3 could be a window to end of year and next year. And then Gamer's Day should be during March to have people look forward to end of the year E3 and Q3/Q4. That's how I would do it, but I'm not in charge.
