Sony quiet on leaked info rumours News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony Europe has declined to comment on the supposedly leaked contents of its staff annual briefing, dismissing the D+Pad report as "rumour and speculation".
The information, provided by an attending "source", included plans to be "more competitive" with PS3 pricing from March 2009.
Sony Europe boss David Reeves also said there will be technical innovations to come for both PS3 and PSP, although no details were given.
The source claims to have seen footage of Uncharted 2 and God of War 3, the latter of which apparently looked so pretty the mole couldn't tell if what he was seeing was CGI or not.
The trailer, we're told, showed Kratos destroying waves of skeletons and Cyclops with his trusty chain-swords, before hopping on the back of an eagle, killing it, and then staring into an immense cavern thought to be Mount Olympus.
Uncharted 2, on the other hand, was said to look much the same as Uncharted 1, which looked rather good anyway.
The source went on to say that Sony showed footage of LittleBigPlanet PSP, which Media Molecule has apparently been hard at work on for four months. Target footage of MotorStorm PSP was shown, too.
Apparently Sony Europe is also the pride of Sony Computer Entertainment, for the region has a higher PS3 installed base than Xbox 360.

I found it quite noticeable in places too. While it's a nice game with lots going on and all it is a bit of a mishmash of game styles - none of which it excels in for my liking. The platforming elements control a lot better than TR for example, but lack any sort of depth or complexity in the puzzles - so it just becomes a method of getting from A to B. |

"pride of Sony"?!
Ha, ha, ha! Oh, please, please...stop making me laugh...it's too early in the morning and certainly too early in the week! No, they're right, they're right, I'm sorry. It's the pride of Sony for mugging gamers for all the £££ they can get, considering all other territories Sony products are sold in (where Sony is being defeated by a comfortable margin) are MUCH CHEAPER THAT UK/EUROLAND. Please...Pull the other one, why don't you?! |

Finally, Europe shows up on the radars of major console manufacturers. About bloody time.
Unfortunately it says a lot about the situation Sony is in that they have to look to a thin margin in a region they've largely ignored in the past - VGChartz suggests the PS3 has had at most a 200,000 lead in Europe over the past 6 months (out of a total of 14m consoles), but has lost most of that lead since the 360 price cut - hardly the kind advantage you would choose to crow about. If the 360 continues to sell as VGChartz claims it has been over the last 2 months, it'll overtake the PS3 again by xmas. Really Sony need that price cut NOW, not in March 2009. It's nice that both Sony and Microsoft are paying attention to us finally though. |

Because although it is good looking, a million miles from CG. It's no better looking than many other games out there, it's just that MGS has this wierd cult following thing going on, and thus is blown out of all reasonable proportion. |

A price cut will do wonders for PS3... it's a great machine and personally I think it has the edge over 360 (just my opinion) some of the exclusives look really nice now and I like the XMB and how consistent it is etc.
I think if Sony were competing within the same price range they'd be cleaning up now... however that's not the case and I have a feeling that this will be yet another Christmast dominated by Wii and 360... the owner of my local indi games shop said he was selling about 6 360's for every 1 PS3 this weekend. I believe the guy... he's never shown any bias and if that really is the case then Sony need to drop that price sooner than March. (BTW: I'm now on XBox 360 no 3 for the record - I guess MS count these as new sales?). |

The main reason I've liked the Xbox so much is how much attention Microsoft pay to Europe. Every major release has come within days of the American release, compared to Nintendo's months and Sony's irattic releases. Still, give us a reasonable price drop and I'll pick up a PS3 next year, I was planning on getting one this Christmas, but couldn't justify the £300, against the 360's £130 (even though I alreadly own a 360).

"It's nothing to do with MGS having a wierd cult it's just a well polished, well designed and a very good looking game! Simple." It looks as good looking as many other games out there, however it is still a very long way from looking like prerendered CG. @chis_ace I dont give a fuck what platform it's on. There are good and bad games on all platforms. Calling MGS graphics 'CG standard' is simply retarded as they are clearly NOT CG standard. There are NO games available on ANY platform with visuals even close to CG standard, and there wont be for a generation or two at least. |

@Jaffe who ever the hell he is. Its not big and its not clever, dude you need to go and have a hand shandy or something. Another little boy that thinks bad language makes him look big. But back to the PS3, i have such a small collection of games for my Blue Ray player so lets hope there is some truth to his comments. Drake 2 should be the mutts nutts though.

"why is a sorry xbox fanboy like yourself on a ps3 news thread? just trolling are you little man? lol! go ahead troll away if it makes u feel better, or go play with new hairstyles for your avatar"
Not to be pedantic or anything but that sounds bitter and bothered. EDIT: Never mind, I see some deep rooted hurt there. Pointless to discuss with that.
