PS3 Will NOT Be Playable at E3?

Posted Apr 10, 2006 at 12:20PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: e3, industry news
Ó

Only a rumor (and take this one with a big grain of salt), but Spong is reporting that the PS3 will NOT be playable at E3 this year.  According to Spong the showing of the PS3 during E3 will be "tightly-restricted hands-on debut".  This is incredibly saddening news if this statement is indeed true.  Their reasoning for this claim is that many third party developers have told Spong that their games will not be shown at the Sony stand.  Spong believes that the PS3 will be displayed as the PSP was.  If you have tickets to go to E3 or know somebody who does, do not expect PS3 demo booths covering the floors this year at E3.  This could be a possible crowd control tactic on Sony's part, so that everybody at least gets a glimpse of this new machine.  You can read about this and any other news about E3 at our new E3 Section at QJ.NET, and be sure to check out our live coverage of the major event and see up-to-the second updates of all the big press conferences starting May 8th!

I believe it is vital that they show everything that this machine can do...not say it can do this...but SHOW that it can do this or that...



I can't wait for E3...going to start a large fire in my wallet...

you are a real retard, its a rumor just take it with a grain a salt. why would ms waist money on saying something stupid like that? it makes the ps3 more ilusive to the consumer. and want it more or not want it more stop blaming anyone else on what sony does or doesnt do but sony.



and to be honest it may be true, since it seems sony doesnt seem to know what its doing, they say spring now november. time will tell just be patient and enjoy what you have at home, you dont have a ps3 now and it doesnt change your life, its been a year already since last e3, you cant wait any longer, than you have a problem

# yep agree with #1BULL3TPR00F 2006-04-10 15:19
ye Sony did say that WarHawk will be playable at E3. Just because third party devs said their games wont be on display doesnt mean that Sony's won't.

heh...





But anyway..I agree with you monkey...



Sony might be trying to be illusive...but i'd wish they just come out and show it already...



i can wait longer...but some people can't..and may decide that a 360 and NR looks nice compared to the illusive ps3...



hopefully this years E3 will be a blast

People still take Spong Seriously after all these years? Right...aren't these the same people that said they had seen vids of the gameboy "Evolution" in full final hardware?

If this rumor is true tho the ps3 won't hit the shelves until 2007 I'm afraid..

# it will be playablecomedy 2006-04-10 22:35
i've read countless interviews with sony officials that ps3 will be playable... also a game doesn't need to go gold in order for it to have a playable demo on the show floor.



wouldn't it be suicide for sony to pass up the oppurtunity to show off ps3? i wouldn't place any stock in such malicious rumours.

If you actually go and read the article at Spong they never say it won't be playable. They just say it won't be all over the place but only shown under supervised conditions and mostly to the professional press (which is quite probable).

The bull really stems from the report here at QJ, not from Spong.

# Yea right...GDG 2006-04-11 03:13
K look Sony has already said that there would be playable games and demos. Third party developers wont show them but Sony will!!!

#11 - Actually, the bull stems from your mind and your lack of reading before you fired off a smart-ass remark:



"According to Spong the showing of the PS3 during E3 will be "tightly-restricted hands-on debut"."

If Sony is going to do something big at E3, of course Sony will tell the developers to keep quiet about it. So of course the developers will have to say something like, "We won't show our game at E3" cause it'll be Sony who will be showing it.

# ok what ever you say stevedrunkenmonky 2006-04-11 19:28
i dont live with my parents, im happily married live on my own. so i guess youre just talking about your self. i also own a xbox, xbox 360, 2 ds's, psp, ps2, gcn, nes, gba, snes and a genisis. i also own a 55 hd tv and run hd channels on them with a 7.1 thx ultra hometheater system. oh ya with 2 subs sounds awsome. but yes i do live with my parents in my heart you can say, so pick your fights wisely before talking s/h/i/t, if you want pics let me know i'll send them to you!



so i'm biased since i can afford to have them all



1 ps2 hardware wise sux, load times is the worst of all 3 (same gen consoles), the grafix look like an updated ps1. control cables are too short. and yes when ps2 came out 1rst hardware release also overheated! same as the 1rst hardware release of the thin ps2, but they have great fan support so they have an extremely great line of games, so it goes to show graffix nor hardware make a good console its the games.



2 xbox has the best graffix of the 3, not to many complaints on xbox, to big of a machine, not enough good games, i love the hdd and the fact that you can dl games, i love xlive it is so stupid friendly anyone can use, i know that the xbox dvdroms would go (dirty disc error) has never happend to me and i have a launch xbox.



3 gcn, is awsome the control cable is to short, i have 2 wavebirds, i have many family oriented games for this that i play with my wife and friends. the graffix are much better than that of ps2, but the games are too far and few just like the xbox but not as bad. out of all the people that i know that have 1 only 1 of them broke down, mine is a launch gcn and still works



i have a 360 cant compare to ps3 because it hasnt come out yet. (i thought it was comming out in spring) my 360 isnt a launch but pretty damn close, it works fine and ive abused it. the hd works great and the market place is awsome, live interface is better than that of the original xbox, much more userfriendly and more stuff that can be used with your live friends. a few things i would change but great. and yes i will eventualy buy a ps3 because i have all consoles and i am biased. (unlike you fanboys) it wont be for the BD, i dont need one right now, and i will not pay more than $400usd for it so dont know if i will be getting it soon. it seems that sony is trying to force the consumers to buy there propriotary (umd, betamax, mini disc & 100 fd), i will wait to see which one BD or HD-DVD takes off, why because, i dont see my self buying something that wont last that long on the market.



just remember this rumors are rumors, but sony has lied about there hardware and gameplay power (ps2 & psp) just think about that



I WILL NOT BUY A UMD MOVIE, I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO BUY A BD, FOR MORE THAN $150USD, BECAUSE SONY SAYS SO,



ps3 is a gaming machine, thats what i want i could careless if it can drive your care and wash your clothes, because if sony sells this for more than $400usd they just lost a client, like i said earlier the grafix on the ps2 wherent ground breaking, but the games good, that all i need

um... Sorry #14, my comment was not directed to you, but to #4. I'm not one of those people (#4) that go around the internet, and insult others that trying to entertain ( well I tried ) for no reason, while I didn't insult him at first. Sorry again #14, I didn't thought you would think it was to you.
