As hopefully some of you know...and for those who dont: E3 is pretty much for SCEA(Sony Computer Entertainment America) and the upcoming LGC(Liepzig Games Convention) is where SCEU(Europe) make their announcements. Sooo.. just some clarification and FYI stuff. Moving on...

1. There has been word that although the 360 got FFXIII, at the upcoming DKS invite-only fan event of Square Enix, there will be an announcement that will shock fans, and "swing the pendulum back towards sony"

2. Heavy Rain was shown behind closed doors at E3. Apparently the NDA agreement the reporterss had to sign is dated till' Leipzig(Leipzig games convention - Germany). So it's quite obvious Heavy Rain will make it's debut there.

3. Then we have that annoying BBC reporter who said the game that he claims to be Oh-so-awesome was not shown at E3. Apparently the game is in development from the Sony London Studio (dooods who made Singstar). So London being in Europe, I can only imagine it will be shown at Leipzig.

4 And last but not least... confirmed, official and directly from Sony. There will be 12 announcements from Sony at LGC

So yeah. This is a short summary of things to come. I must admit, I myself was somewhat upset with the FFXII going to the 360 and following that, Sony's very weak conference. So people who are feeling a little uneasy, rest assured that there are many great things to come

Just wondering what you guys think of all the recent events, and your take on the 'gaming politics' aspect of E3.

Also, any predictions of what's coming up at LGC?

I read somewhere that the 360 wont be getting FFXIII until 2010, that's enough to make me laugh at them anyways.

Apparently the PS3 version of Tekken 6 will be revealed further, i wonder what console features it will have that were not included in the arcade build.

The official take is this.

Japan will be getting FFXIII first, and exclusive to the PS3. FFXIII wilst being localized for U.S / Europe will be made alongside the 360 version. That means when it ships to the english / european regions, the 360 version will too.



Rather unfortunate, but hey, let's hope this news from Squenix at their event is something to really cheer for.

Let's hope it's not similar to Capcoms whole "Hey PS3 fans, you'll love us soon!!"


---2 weeks later----


"Lost Planet port to PS3"



Edit: Yeah, apparently the NDA(Non-disclosure Agreement) is dated till' Leipzig hehe. So i'm inferring it will be shown there.

Yet more confirmation that TGS and Leipzig are the major game conventions and no one cares for E3 anymore.

Yeah, "Lips" was announced at E3 actually. Along with it, they had some famous singer singing to her own song, in the game.

Yeah, a lot of executives are pissed off since E3 has really gone downhill since 06'.

-Too small of an event, as opposed to what it used to be.

-Very inconvenient time of the year

-Very expensive.

So yeah, unfortunately a lot of the publishers are forced to go to E3 since it's where all the press is.

1up podcast.

Various articles form Kotaku, 1up, PS3fanboy, GT(Gametrailers The Bonus Round) as well as other media sources.


N'gai Croal as well as other media personnel where invited to the closed-door preview of Heavy Rain. There have been a lot of interviews regarding that which is lying all over the place.

FF always comes out in Japan first. FF7-Crisis Core was in Japan months and months before the english version arrived.

I’m really interested to see what this FF7 announcement is. I'm hoping for a PS3 remake, but I'm still doubtful.

Yeah, i'm just crossing my fingers it's not a 'weak' announcement, like a new movie or FF7 on the PSN(Although it would be nice, it's very 'epic' like they're making it out to be).

lol well if it was a sequel to advent children I'd still be super happy, hell if it was just FF7 coming to the PSN I’d be happy(even though i still have my original FF7 disc's )

The Squeenix event has pretty much started. It's from the 2nd to the 3rd of August.

Sooo, any speculations?









P.S. Fingers crossed for an omgwtfbbq announcement.
