PlayStation Day 2008 Keynote Breakdown

PlayStation Day 2008 came with a keynote with Kaz Hirai and David Reeves from Sony Computer Entertainment. They started the keynote opening wtih showcases of LittleBigPlanet, Go!Explore, PlayTV, Secret Agent Clank, echochrome and Buzz! Quiz TV. Then they went into showing SingStar, Elefunk, KILLZONE 2, Siren, Home, Hot Shots Golf, SOCOM, and Resistance 2.

Kaz Hirai stated that he realized the PlayStation Home delay announcement at TGS 2007 was disappointing, but Home will be open ONLY when it is ready.

David Reeves came on to talk about Buzz! Quiz TV speaking on wireless buzzers, user created quizes and downloadable quiz packs. All forms of user generated content.

Insomniac's Ted Price steps on stage speaking on Resistance 2. They are focusing on Community, Campaign, Cooperative, and Competitive, the four C's. They want to redesign Resistance.net more like Facebook including website matcmaking and such. They are going to have "battles within battles" for the game's online. 5 different squads with different objectives, dynamic objectives. Every squad must go against rival squad with same objectives. With 60 players there are always 5 or 6 players for whom you develop a "really intense hatred."

After Price left the stage, Evolution's Paul Hollywood took the stage saying that Motorstorm: Pacific Rift promises "brutal offroad racing" and ""Not just updated the graphics and added a "2" to the title." The game will have twice as many tracks as the original and include monster trucks as well as 4-player split-screen as well.

DICE's Sean Decker comes on stage to talk about Mirror's Edge, a game about a girl name Faith who is on the run. "We're going to put you in the shoes of Faith" he says. Expect to see this video on the PlayStation Network this week.

They also announced PlayTV will be releasing in September 2008 in Europe for 99 euros. Thats just about it, day is over. I'm happy but sad no mention of in-game XMB.

While they continue to sing the same song regarding Home it would've been nice to hear something like "we're making progress" or something positive to take away rather than just that it'll be ready when it's ready.

I mean seriously, it's been well over a year since they showed off the service and it looked like it was months away from launching, not years. This was the same stage that LBP shared and we're still waiting for that but at least they talked about it and (I guess) showed it.

The more Home is delayed the more I think that it'll never come and Sony will just scrap the whole idea because they didn't plan it out right and it's too much for them to handle.

I've been in the beta since last June and it's just so frustrating to see that the service hasn't really advanced beyond walking around and talking to people in all this time. I purposely haven't logged on for about two or so weeks hoping that there'd be something new to talk about but...

I digress. Looks like this was a no-frills, no surprises kind of day. And Mirror's Edge is coming out for both systems so that's I'll reserve my excitement since it (probably) won't be taking advantage of any PS3 specific features.

Where's "The Agency"?
