More TGS News - Playable Sony

[News] [Events] [Computer Gaming]

(Via Gamespot)

The news has come down from Sony as to what will and won't be playable on the show floor at the Tokyo Game Show. Attendees at the convention (read: me) will be able to get our greasy gaijin hands on each and every one of the following titles:

PlayStation 3
Armored Core 4 (From Software)
Blade Storm Hyakunen Sensou (Koei)
Coded Arms Assault (Konami)
Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)
The Eye of Judgment (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Fatal Inertia (Koei)
Formula One World Championship (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Genji (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
"Gran Turismo" Series (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Heavenly Sword (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Lair (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Mahjong Taikai IV (Koei)
Minna no Golf 5 (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Sight (Namco Bandai Games)
MotorStorm (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Railfan (Ongakukan)
Resistance: Fall of Man (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Ridge Racer 7 (Namco Bandai Games)
Warhawk (Sony Computer Entertainment)

PSP
Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception (Namco Bandai Games)
Boxers Road 2: The Real (Ertain)
Gundam Battle Royale (Namco Bandai Games)
Homestar Portable (supports GPS) (Sega)
Jan-Sangokumusou (Koei)
Jeanne D'Arc (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Metal Gear Solid: Bande Dessinee [released in the US as Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel] (Konami)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (supports GPS) (Konami)
Minna no Golf-jou (supports GPS) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Monster Hunter Portable 2nd (Capcom)
Navigation Software (working title, supports GPS) (Edia)
Ratchet and Clank Portable (working title) (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Sarugettchu Piposaru Racer (Sony Computer Entertainment)
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology (Namco Bandai Games)
Tenchi no Mon 2: Busouden (Sony Computer Entertainment)

Of note, in case you missed it in the list:
* Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (a handheld outing for Naked Snake in the style of the PS2 games, rather than the card-battling Acid series) will utilise a GPS function.
* Homestar Portable is not, to the best of my knowledge, in any way affiliated with Homestar Runner (sadly).
* Eye of Judgement will be playable. As this augmented-reality card battler makes use of a proprietary camera peripheral (NOT the Eye Toy) it means we'll be able to get a closer look at that camera as well.

This will also be, as far as I know, the first look at playable versions of Devil May Cry 4, Lair (next gen dragon-based shenanigans), Resistance: Fall of Man (apocalyptic first-person shooter from the makers of Spyro the Dragon), and Warhawk (much booed for claiming that a pre-rendered cutscene was in any way representative of the actual content of the game when it clearly wasn't).

That's a nice line up. Any word on the other consoles?

It's looking increasingly unlikely that Nintendo are going to pull out their Wii and let everyone play with it. There'll probably be DS stuff there from individual developers, though.

Microsoft, who knows. If they've released news of playable XBox stuff, I haven't seen it.

If you get a chance, try to break through the queue to get a look at Heavenly Sword - that's been looking really, really promising (and you'd never guess it was from the developers of Kung-Fu Chaos on the Xbox).

That's God of War with breasts, isn't it? Very nice looking graphics.
