PS3 news from yesterday’s Playstation Meeting
Posted by inpheaux on July 22nd, 2005 at 2:49 pmA ton of info was released yesterday at Sony's "Playstation Meeting" press conference / feeding frenzy. Commenting on all of it would really be overkill, and I think after the GTA:SA article, I've written more than my fill for the week. So instead I'm just going to hit the big ones:
- Mobile Suit Gundam - First interactive playable demo running on actual PS3 hardware. Short but incredibly pretty, very close to the pre-rendered content shown earlier. As pretty as it is, it supposedly only uses the core Cell processor and the GPU, leaving all 7 Cell SPU's for smoke/explosions/etc.
- Resident Evil 5 - It's real, it's coming to the PS3, and the trailer is now available.
- Schedule - Kutaragi says the system is solidly on track for Spring 2006. They've also got a strategic alliance with Epic to ship the Unreal 3 engine to developers for them to review and license for use in PS3 games as early as September. They've also got another one of these "Playstation Meetings" slated for Feb 2006.
On top of all this, there's also a ton of new videos floating around. Head on over to your media-dispensing website of choice and they'll probably have 'em. IGN's PS3 News Index also has a ton of other stories about what all was released yesterday.
