Sony Can Gab About Games, Too! |

Sony did have some games to speak of at the GDC, specifically, the God of War and Ratchet & Clank franchises.
God of War 2 has been officially announced (as if there was ever any doubt) and is in production for the Playstation 2 (what?) by Sony’s Santa Monica Studio under the watchful eye of God of War producer and current gaming wonder-boy David Jaffe. Really, they could release the same game and I’d buy it, but there are some concerns that the sequel will be a quick cash in on the original. Jaffe had this to say: “"In the gaming world, it's rare that a sequel equals, let alone eclipses the original, but I think this is going to be the exception to the rule in terms of quality, gameplay and story. I always said that God of War was my dream game, well no longer, God of War II really is the game I've always wanted to play." Sure it sounds hammy, but you know you’re still going to buy the game when it comes out in early 2007.
Insomniac, creators of the Ratchet & Clank series, announced a new entry in the series for the Playstation 3. Not much else is known at this time, but the prospect of playing the wisecracking, gun-toting, robotic sidekick-sporting furry one is good enough for me right now. They’re also working on a Sci-Fi shooter called Resistance: Fall of Man (formerly I-8) which has been confirmed for release this year. It will most likely be a launch title for the PS3. Not much else is known about this one, but I’m betting it will make a fine shooter given Insomniac’s strengths.

I mean for the different territories, of course. Unless you have 500 bucks to burn and are willing to pre-pre-order, or you’re willing to camp out for days in advance, you probably won’t have one. Hopefully someone you know will be more fortunate. SCE Prez Ken Kutaragi stated that, due to delays in copy protection of blu-ray drive, the PS3 would ship worldwide in November 2006. Of course, Sony spewed some crap about producing 1 million systems a month to keep all supply channels full and having 6 million systems produced by March 2007, but you and I know there will be shortages.
OOOh! Also, Sony said that their new system would utilize a 2.5 inch, 60 GB hard drive. They do not know at this time whether or not they will package the hard drive with the system, presumably due to the already high price of the system. However, they have been telling developers to make games assuming that players already have the hard drive. So, a mandatory piece of equipment for your new shiny may not ship with said shiny because the shiny itself is too expensive. Does that make any sense?

On March 22, the PSP will drop to $199. In addition, a few new features and peripherals were announced. The largest among these were a PSX emulator that would, of course, allow you to play Playstation games on your PSP, and flash support for games. Because the PSP itself has very little internal memory, this seems to point to a new PSP model to be released soon that has internal flash memory. Sony didn’t mention anything about this, but if Nintendo can get away with it….
