What Game Are You Playing At The Moment?

[standardman]

E3 leaks are GO! And by 'Go!' I mean 'PSP Go!'.






Not hugely surprising but there it is. Also rumblings of a Metal Gear Solid for the PSP.

And these leaks:



Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed 2 mirror here.

Yea there were alot of really good games on it like skies of arcadia and shenmue 1+2 as well as some cult classics I would like to see another game of (if even just on XBLA or PSN) like space channel 5.

There are also rumours of a slim line PS3, there were some "leaked" pics from japan, if its fake its a decent fake but the fact sony has slapped C&D orders on anyone posting on the bigger blogs about it it lends some creditability, kinda hard to see how they can cut it down so radically and china are experts at the fakes.
The Leak

The metal gear solic pictures look pretty good, from what I have read various places it something called "MGS4 + Oxide" I am gonna assume that its is something along the lines of "MGS2 substance", i.e. the game but with added content, this makes me pretty happy because I don't have my own PS£ so couldn't play it when it was first out.
The MGS announcement is also rumoured to be Xbox's big announcement so I am going to take a guess that the "Oxide" part of the name might actually be a decent ammount of extra content, I would guess and maby some big boss content looking at the age of snake in the pictures and the uniform he is wearing, but that is complete speculation on my part. (and some wishful thinking, I want some more 60's snake and there are like 7 years between MGS 3 and foxhound being started and then another many years before the evens of the first metal gear games, I'm sure SOMETHING interesting must have happened in that time.)

Apparently sega has no big announcements lined up which is disappointing especially since the fanboy shit storms over sega renewing there patent on the VMU concept used in the dreamcast a while ago.

Xbox and sony are lined up to release motion controllers a la the wii, I know both have been looking into it and there are some patents and concept work floating about, I'm not 100% sure if both will reveal at E3 but I'm pretty sure one of them will. Xboxs version is going to be a camera, not too sure about sony, probably and expansion on the 6 axis concept
An example of what the camera will hopefully do.

Interestingly, the PSP Go! packaging fits the same style as the PS3 Slim box, so it's probably real.

Yea thats what I was reading, the newer style PS3 logo is there and any box art visable also look pretty real, just seems weird that they can allready shrink it down that much, from what I can make out its like a quarter of the thickness, hopefully it is true so the think ones will get alot cheaper, sony has allready announced an upcoming price cut off the retail price.

About damn time we had a substantial price cut.

I know I want one but can't afford it, and I feel I need one, playstation always seemed to be the better console for RPG lovers like myself but my brother is a die hard FPS fan so we have an xbox because I'm to poor to buy consoles so jus use his.

He actually had a PS3 for a while but he sold it because it had very few games he liked, he did this months before seemingly all the PS3 exclusives I wanted came out.

Yeah, it's got a good library of games now, just needs to be affordable.
