E308 Part One

Hey all you gaming enthusiasts its the three members of Triforce-News here. To start off our discussion we will be talking the Sony Conference with Outbraker. Then the next entry will be jackg with Microsofts and finally our new member, gbelk, will be talking about the other companies.
So first off Sony
A video montage of some of PS3's biggest games – already out and upcoming. We're seeing Uncharted, Resident Evil 5, Little Big Planet, Buzz, MGS4, SOCOM, Resistance, Killzone 2. Not all PS3 games either – PSP and PS2 are making an appearance. It's the PlayStation "family" of products afterall, remember? They just showed off a shot of Bioshock, too!
Says Tretton: "From the very beginning our customers came to expect something very different from us. What really made SCE different from the very beginning is we took a longer look ahead. When most companies were looking at a 3 to 5 year lifecycle, we were on a 10 year. Really hitting hard on the long product lifecycle thing, saying their consoles have at least a 10-year lifecycle. In other words: "Thanks for waiting.""I agree with what CNET and so many others have said in recent months: 2008 is the year of the PS3." Big-ass subwoofers in here at the beginning of Resistance 2. "Here's a look at the third-generation title from Insomniac games on the PlayStation 3: Resistance 2." Wow. Okay, yeah, that's one big boss. Seriously, this thing makes the Collossi in SotC look like puppy dogs.
Ted price from Insomniac on stage. "In 1951 we lost Chicago, millions never made it out. ... now Chicago is enemy territory." 350ft tall Chimera called Leviathan. "resistance 2 is a story of a country under siege, broken by a superior foe."Okay, he's essentially reading us the game box back, but that's cool because he just told us about 8-player online co-op. "resistance 2 also breaks new ground with it's 8-player online co-op and 60 player online multiplayer ... While many games talk about scale, resistance 2 truly delivers." Scale, scale scale: This game is big, epic, etc. "resistance 2 offers more than any shooter in 2008 ... I'm Ted Price, president and CEO of insomniac games, and this is resistance 2." *cue the trailer*The game is definitely more colorful than its predecessor. Less gray, more bright colors. Think 1950's America.Ben Mattes says the Blu-ray is way better than the competition. Long term PlayStation 3 development: This all sounds similar to the PS2 development cycle. Dev's hated it and then learned to love the pain. Ironically, though, these are mostly cross-platform games that won't really take advantage of the Cell structure. Jack: "as you can see there's a tremendous amount of support from our development partners" SCE worldwide studios makes a competitive advantage - 23 exclusives, 10 on Blu-ray and 13 on PSN.They're pumping smoke in here, either to confuse us or make this all seem like a dream. First mention of Killzone 2, which has been suspiciously absent so far. LittleBigPlanet, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, MGS4, Guns of the Patriots, Quantum of Solace, SOCOM Confrontation, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Soul Calibur IV, Resistance 2, The Agency, Naruto Storm, Mirror's Edge, Resident Evil 5, Singstar, Guitar Hero World Tour, NBA09: The Inside, Buzz Quiz TV, Killzone 2 and lastly God of War 3 all CGI trailer though.

Staff Introductions

Hey Guys,
we are the two new reviewers on call at Triforce-News and we apparently have yet to introduce ourselves so here it goes. My name is "jackg" on the site and I am currently a jazz major at Loyola University, and my associate is "outbraker" and he is a liberal arts major in Austin, so that is all for our introductions. We will be switching back and forth for posting here about different things. In the mean time, check our reviews for this month. Peace Out.

Staff Changes

Hi all, I just wanted to inform all of you that triforce-news.blogspot will now be run by the interns of MGGSound, and I MGG will be running my own blog off of MGGSound and Triforce-News. There is a link to mine on the site. Hopefully by having interns write on here, it will make this blog go faster. It is going to be written by three other people and I may stop in from time to time.

Video Walkthroughs

Hey guys, I am almost done with my first big year on my own, my first year of college is almost behind me and as soon as it is I am hitting those video games long and hard in the hopes that I will have those all up and ready by the beginning of June for everyone. So just sit tight on all of that. In the meantime I encourage all of you to enjoy the reviews and we recently added a new section containing interviews with the Big Wigs of the gaming world check out our first interview here: http://mggsound.com/Triforce-News/triforcenewsinterviews.html

Welcome to Triforce-News Blog

Welcome to Triforce-News blog and thank you for visiting the president of MGGSound's blog MGG. Over the course of the next few years of college as well as the companies growth, here is where I personally will be keeping everyone updated on my personal comings and goings and my personal opinions of the video game industry and reviews of video games. I have created this blog in order to provide gamers with a new meeting place where such opinions and viewpoints might be better shared and discussed. This is also a good place to communicate personally with me if you have questions and concerns that you would like me personally versus my company to discuss or address. Thanks again and I hope to see you on here, the music in gaming forums, the MGGSound website, Triforce-News, listening to the podcasts, reading our reviews or my articles or watching my personal band the Famicoms.
Sincerely MGG
