PSU: GDC 08 Predictions

(continued from previous page) ...experience for PSU, staff and readers. Furthermore, GDC 2008 is also the first major videogame event of the year. While CES was primarily a show focusing more on technological gadgets and other items expected to enhance our experience in the realm of technology, GDC is a smaller and personal event focused on the development of the gaming community from a developer and consumer standpoint. So this means that Sony will have a nice substantial presence filled with much surprise.

Honestly, I cannot make out what will happen at GDC in terms of announcements from Sony. It also seems that everything about the PlayStation Portable was poured into CES, so I would not expect anything major coming from the PSP side of things. Beyond all of that, I would certainly love to finally hear more on Killzone 2; this game has been under much secrecy since its showing at E3 2007. Finally there is the possibility of a new PS3 SKU being announced, such as a 120 or 160 GB console.

The possibilities are endless, but because Sony has no major press conference this year at GDC, it is going to be interesting to see how it all pans out for PS3/PSP owners. Hopefully they are not holding all of their information for E3 which will be this July 15-17 in the LA Convention Center. No matter what happens though, PSU will be there to bring you all of the action. We will storm the show floor during the day, and bring you a plethora of updates each night as soon as we get back to the hotel.

Regardless of the outcome, be sure to stay tuned to PlayStation Universe for our exclusive GDC coverage, starting this Monday.

    Resistance 2, and GT5:P info i'm looking foward too, and hopefully naughtydog show something anything that has to do with the next jak game if their there.

    Any Resistance 2, KOF, SFIV and Prototype info you guys can glean would be appreciated. I wonder what else we'll see. LBP maybe? I wouldn't mind seeing Infamous make an appearance either. Other than that, maybe an announcement about Platinum/Greatest Hits games for EU/NA regions etc since Japan got the "The Best" line up announced. Hopefully the cases we get won't be that uggers though... :P

    According to Ryan Peyton's Podcast this week, he said that Metal Gear Solid 4 wont be at GDC this year because they are really busy (they should be busy).

    However, I'm kind of disappointed to hear that most of Sony's big games most likely wont be making an appearance. I'm really looking forward to The Getaway 3, Killzone 2, and other Sony exclusives and I was looking forward to hearing about some new info about the games.

    All I really care about is Sony having it's big guns (Killzone 2, The Getaway, Motorstorm 2, LittleBigPlanet,  Resistance 2 etc...) out at E3 2008 in July, and that's all because E3 is where Sony shines. For some reason I've noticed that Sony likes to keep things discrete and secret until a certain time... I think that it's a good tactic because at E3 Sony will blow Microsoft and Nintendo out of the building!

    I agree with AntFarm... I want to see more LA Noire!!  I'm sure we'll see and hear more of it once GTA IV is out.

    psn id: gingo... i truly dont have a lue what to expect from GDC although i'm really hoping for some 8 days info and an update on HOME

    • 9:28am GMT - February 16th, 2008

    I hope they show a trailer or gameplay of Resistance 2.....  and maybe a release date for home.

    Interesting to see what does go down. I'd like to hear of Resistance2 making an appearance as well as GT5P. I'm keeping an eye on darksector too.

    i just want konami to say the release date  of mgs4 at GDC. that's about it. and GT5. i'll buy that when it comes out

    Sony better show something amazing,like last year.

    • 10:26am GMT - February 16th, 2008

    The focus won't be so much on Sony it would seem but more on their 3rd party offerings and perhaps a little bit of home (or not at all).

    Cool. I hope Sony reveals more on Home and Killzone 2. MGS4 not showing is understandable since the game is due in June.

    wow E3 at the L.A convention center!, imma have to try to find a way to get in that.

    well if they announce a date for Echochrome then I'll be set. =D.

    Well I'm not expecting much, but hopefully I'm wrong

    I would rather Sony lay low on projects that aren't close to being finished. Announcements for upcoming "we got no info as of yet titles" such as the ICO project and almost complete projects (and really here I have no clue what makes this list and what doesn't) are welcome. Put it this way, I don't want to hear a thing about Haze, not one word. With that said where the eff is Socom Confrontation? Socom is the best selling online shooter for PS2, tons of Socom Junkies will buy a PS3 or have already bought a PS3 for Socom, myself included. Where is it?

    I agree with #4, it's kind of a good thing that Sony doesn't show too much. E3 is what really matters. Imagine how many things Sony will be able to show when E3 comes around. All these exclusives hopefully: Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Final Fantasy VIII, GTP, MGS4, LBP, Wardevil, Team Ico's project, Twisted Metal, White Knight Story, Africa and like 5 or more exclusive games that I can't remember!

    Footage is swell, but I really want them to just let me know WTF they are doing about the 80gb system! I need to know about the new SKU!
