Oooooooh....... Just watched video for the new Prince of Persia. Now that looks like it could be great. I like the visual style.

Going to be spending loads on games later this year I see. Roll on winter so I don't feel quilty spending my weekends playing games

When is this new dashboard meant to be getting implemented? It looks alright, not that I'm too bothered by it though tbh.

Just spent ages trying to find reliable Press Conferences schedule in BST, so thought I'd post it with our time correct.

NINTENDO
E3 2008 Press Conference »
Tuesday at 5PM
The big "N" has already promised new Wario and Kirby based titles, a new Mystery-themed DS game and Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii... but you can probably count on at least a couple big surprises from Reggie & Co.
'
SONY
E3 2008 Press Conference »
Tuesday at 7:30PM
What should you expect to hear from the Sony mothership? There'll be some Killzone 2, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift for sure. Watch the live stream to find out what else they have in store for your PS3.
'
UBISOFT
E3 2008 Press Conference »
Tuesday at 10:30PM
Ubisoft will be at E3 with full force this year. You should expect to hear more about Tom Clancy's HAWX and Tom Clancy: Endwar... and definitely count on Shaun White Snowboarding making noise at E308.
'
CAPCOM
E3 2008 Press Conference »
Wednesday at 12:30AM
Capcom's E308 line-up is quite impressive this year... you'll see Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, Bionic Commando, MotoGP 08 plus some "super secret project" called Flock.
'
ACTIVISION
E3 2008 Press Conference »
Wednesday at 04:45AM
As Activision isn't "participating" in this year's E3, this stream won't be live. But don't fret, we'll shoot it and rush it to the web as fast as we can.
'
KONAMI
E3 2008 Press Conference »
Wednesday at 10:30PM
You should be VERY excited about Silent Hill: Homecoming, and expect to see more of this during the Konami Press Conference. Also expect MLB Power Pros and at least a couple Castlevania

I'm upset at the Capcom's and Activision's timing as they are the one's I'm looking forward to the most

WHat is mentioned in Halo 3? That bungie will be working with Sony??

There is a 'Message of the day' kind of feature which Bungie can change what to what ever they want and it displays different things like News, Tips etc.

It is visable while searching for games in Match-making. I havent seen it myself, but he is probably saying that there is a new one that points out to people the splash pages on Bungie.net and because Halo 3 is a Mircosoft game that they wouldn't advertise a 'PS3 exclusive' in Halo 3, (which I doubt it would be exclusive because if anything it would be Multiplatform).

The reason Bungie Split from Mircosoft in the first place is because of money (that and not wanting to make Halo all the time) and Multiplatform is where the money is at.

d3moliti0n · 15 Jul 2008 at 14:58

Looking forward to Nintendo's, Capcom's and Konami's (for Silent Hill: Homecoming). Definitely a great E3 this year imo.

JUMPURS · 15 Jul 2008 at 14:59

But bungie.net will be owned by the company bungie and not by MS. If Bungie where not allowed to put another systems title on its web page, then whats the point in going independant??

Alrik · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:01

Were not talking about the website, but the in game Halo 3 messages. Which I have not seen myself since I dont read them that often.

Robert1986 · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:08

Bungie are working on a halo game for the PS3.

Alrik · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:10

And Sony are working on God of War 3 as a 360 exclusive.

See I can throw out stupid comments too!

Bungie are working on a Microsoft-owned franchise and IP for the PS3? News to me

Robert1986 · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:26

They could be working on a new fps which is like halo for the ps3. Who knows, in a few hours, we should know.

maxilive · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:28

Yes but that wouldn't be Halo would it? xD

That would be a sci-fi FPS game like all the other ones. Lame XBLA game coming?

d3moliti0n · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:29

Halo sucks anyway tbh lol. I've never been a Halo fan. I played Halo 1 and 2 but they never impressed me at all, I just found them to be your standard FPS with decent graphics. People say the story in the game make them great, but I found the story bog standard aswell. Half-Life/Half-Life 2 >>>>> Halo series.

Robert1986 · 15 Jul 2008 at 15:32

It's not on PS3, otherwise it wouldn't be advertized and promoted in Halo 3 itself (the countdown screen and symbols appear in the ingame menus). I'm fairly sure Bungie has said its next project is still on Microsoft platforms - ie, 360 or Windows. This was mentioned a fair amount during the split between the two.

What is being advertised in Halo 3?? Is there stuff in H3 that looks like the Bungie.net website??

I just thought it was weird how the MS conf has come and gone, but bungie.net hasn't changed.

Alrik · 15 Jul 2008 at 16:12

Well there is less then 24 hours to go now so we will know by this time tommorow.

Sinny · 15 Jul 2008 at 16:18

I would expect that the "if new" Bungie game would be an xbox title but ported to the PS3. But thats just a pure guess really have no indication of what it might be apart from maybe a new Halo game but im a bit skeptical about that idea.
