You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

I really hope 3D games don’t eventually become default, with no option to turn it off, or I’ll be just as screwed as colorblind dudes are now.
My eyes both work, but don’t work together, which affects my depth perception (including “3D” images) and seeing the schooner in MagicEye pictures. I’m all for anyone who wants to enjoy it, but I hope developers remember to make it a toggle option.

I predict we’re finally going to see Sony unveil more 3D games support, for delivery this christmas.

I might be early… it might still be six months to a year off, but we’re close.

My main prediction is that there will be a PSP 2 (or PSP Go! or PSP Whatever), but that it’s feature set will be a disappointment. Like it will be download only, but won’t have enough storage for long term use… or some features that the newer PSPs have will be stripped off (like video out).

Other than that…major boredom by Nintendo, Sony keeping a stoic face (and not changing their strategy) whilst their empire crumbles, and Microsoft fumbling what success they do have.

I was wondering if youse guys coulds cover something on the show:

If the PSP redesign surfaces and goes to a download only model, do you think sony can be successful with it? I ask since it seems most “traditional” companies don’t seem to understand the downloadable portable games market.

It seems to me that the most successful games are small, cheap, fun and ultra fast to play. Looking at the iPhone you have stuff that costs $0.99 and can be played in 5 to 10 minute sessions, and to top it off they are the most “fun” games I have seen in some time. Games following this design are also quite successful sales wise.

The companies putting those sorts of games out are not your large traditional developers that release games for the PSP. Companies like Square, Konami, Ubisoft and Namco are making small downloadable games, but they are charging high prices for games that have high production values, but are low on fun. Stuff like Crystal Defenders, Assassin’s Creed iPhone, MGS iPhone, and that crazy over priced Pac-man port. To top it off, most games made for PSP are experiences more in the vein of “playing it at home on my console” in terms of length and design, not quick get in and get out portable experiences I feel would have a higher chance of sell through success.

Taking all that into account, can Sony be successful selling a new PSP hardware that requires a paradigm shift in how developers who make games for PSP make their games?

Thanks Again for doing such a great show,

Aside from the BIG announcements, which of course we all know about(?), Nintendo announces more rehashes and ports, Microsoft gives everyone 2,000 Microsoft points for the next big NXE update that will crash their boxes, Sony gives out Little Big Planet promotional respiratory masks with SackBoy’s mouth on the front, and Rebel FM announces the development of rhythm-action game Fart Tape: Duck Call Edition. Pre-orders causes Gamestop’s servers to crash.

^ Add MAG to that list. I see lots of MAG hype at E3 this year.

Also, add edit buttons.

I think this year’s E3 is going to be wild, similar to the “good old days” of E3. As for the big 3 I don’t see a lot of hardware announcements – maybe some new PSP stuff some Wii peripherals, but otherwise I think exclusives will be the big thing at E3 this year. I think Sony and Microsoft in particular will reveal some new exclusives, but there will also be a lot of new footage and playable demos of forthcoming mega hits such as Uncharted 2, Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain, God of War 3 and hopefully, some footage of Modern Warfare 2 actual game play.

Love the show but whoever keeps snorting is starting to get on my nerves. Perhaps you could just blow your nose before you start recording.

I’m hoping E3 will host demos of OnLive that attempt to simulate more “real-world” conditions or at least provide some transparency. There was speculation that performance of the GDC demos was most likely due to the fact that pristine conditions were setup (and I tend to agree). I would like to see a demo running from servers several hundred miles away, or, at the very least, viewers should be given information about the conditions of the demo and what to expect under less ideal conditions.
