PS2's E3 Schedule

[Anderz]

Thought we should compile a post of when gaming websites have scheduled in their coverage of PlanteSide 2 at E3 so we can hop from one live stream to another! :p

So far, IGN have said they'll live stream PS2 at 3:00pm on Thursday, June 7.

This could be a PS2 presentation or IGN exclusive interview/game stream. Not really sure.

But if you know when any other sites will be covering E3, post below and I'll update this post.

[Goku]

Sony as in PS3 or SOE?

[Bags]

Will these streams be recorded? I have finals to study for / take during E3.

[Notser]

that is Sony's big e3 press so PS2 probably won't be there, I can't remember seeing a lot of non playstation products at one

[Anderz]

Yeah, that was just in case they cover SOE. I'll add a disclaimer.

[KTNApollo]

I seem to remember seeing something somewhere saying that TB would be casting the PS2 demo on Wednesday...

[Hamma]

Yes info on that is here http://www.planetside-universe.com/news-e3-press-release-and-new-images-2786.htm

Thanks, I've added this to the OP

[Grimster]

I am hoping for recordings because I am on the wrong end of the world and I have work during week so can't sit up all night. :)

[Toppopia]

I will need recordings as well. Please record lots of stuff, even if all the footage is edited to show the best stuff and is only an hour long or something. Would be very cool

I highly doubt anyone covering E3 will purely stream content. You can bet recordings of all their live content will be uploaded later. May as well link to that instead.

Just caught some of Microsoft's conference. Some good spots, but mostly meh.

Hope PS2 gets a spot in Sony's conference tonight.

The Microsoft Conference was just downright awful.

-Internet Explorer on Xbox 360 -____________- makes microsoft look like a joke

[laelgon]

Yeah, the Microsoft conferrence was pretty mediocre overall. The new Splinter Cell and Halo looked pretty cool but otherwise nothing that got me excited. I'm not sure what there great plan is with delivering cable television programming to the Xbox is since, you know, it's already hooked up to a TV where most people can already watch the same thing without a console.

But back on topic. I kind of doubt there'll be anything big about Planetside 2 at the Sony show. It's pretty much limited to consoles at press conferences nowadays. If they were announcing a new console, however, I wouldn't be surprised if they were planning on releasing a Planetside game for PS4. A MMOFPS would probably be the easiest kind of MMO to put on consoles but the current hardware is probably too old to support it.

[Anderz]

Didn't mind Splinter Cell: Blacklist presentation, but without the voice of Michael Ironside as Sam, it just sounded...wrong.

[ikon]

ps2 the only real game at e3 this year

now lets get beta going ^^

[Nobel]

This conversation was just tweeted from the PS 2 account.

When asked :

Are you folks getting shown off at the sony presser today?

It was Replied :

There may indeed be something to see, not mention the livestream with Mr Biscuit.... ^Lancer

Looks like PS2 will be in the Sony E3 Conference!

[Kurtz]

If they don't show this game being played live tonite at 6pm EST when Sony has their moment on the stage it will be epic fail.They did it for MAG, they need to do it for PS2.

I would be shocked if they rely on just TB's live streams for an announcement.

[Shott]

TB is doing a stream tonight (Monday) also.

If they show off PS2 they are going to steal E3 people will be like WTF IS THAT GAME?!?!??

If you are basing that off the message at the top of his channel page, I think that is left over from last weeks stream.

6PM PST, dang it that's 2 AM GMT :(

Very disappointed in you now TB, I was hoping that you would be stubborn and convert those silly americans to your clock :p

[Hmr85]

I can't wait to see the stream. This is gonna be good.

I think if he tried to stubbornly stick to his British clock, he'd get thrown out by security...

[wasdie]

You won't see anything today so don't waste your time. The Sony Press Conference is for the Playstation brand, not SOE.

Well, I don't mean don't watch it at all, if you have a Playstation 3 then you will probably be interested.

[CuddleMeLoki]

Hopefully he will upload it to youtube as fast as he uploaded the livestream with Higby.

[Fafnir]

@mhigby @planetside2 Hey guys! When will those of us not at E3 be able to tune in and catch some PS2 happenings?

@chrisfrantastic You can watch live stream gameplay here in a few hours! ^Lancer http://ow.ly/blVtg

Posted 1 hour ago.

With Sony as a business though in the condition they are in, it would be a great time to get all their videogame products out there to the mass media.

Hell maybe the PS4 will be a revolutionary piece of technology and they could end the show on the note "And this is the kind of game you will see on the PS4..."

Higby enters on the stage with a shaven head and the rest is history.

TB's live stream starts at the same time as the conference. Which means the sever will have the hundreds of people on it to show the big battles.

Hell, in the schedule they did not even have a stream scheduled for today. It just pop up outta the blue.

I put to much thought into this.

[Mod]

https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/209677522726690816

Great to hear, must have missed that tweet earlier. Guess I'll watch the video tomorrow as 2am is pushing it a little :p

[QuantumMechanic]

So TB is doing a live stream at 6pm, and Sony's big press conference is also at 6pm...

I never expected Sony to show of Planetside 2, but this double booking convinces me of that. Damn shame though.

[RadarX]

The Sony Press conference will cover Sony PS3 products which PlanetSide 2 does not currently fit into. Expect plenty of secondary coverage across major media groups like G4. Also watch Totalbiscuit's livestream from the floor every day. They will be recorded if you can't make it.

Just what in the hell is going on down there at e3? We have tweets saying there's gonna be content today, other tweets that are now deleted confirming this also and TB denies everything...

It will be tomorrow if TB says it is.

Recruit 1000 friends?.... You've got to be frickin' kidding me. I don't even understand how that's possible. Even 250 friends is impossible for me.

Why should I miss out on some of these rewards because I'm not a facebook-friend-whore? Gosh. Put all the friend missions in their own tier so I can at least get SOMETHING, this is ridiculous.

Ahh, that sucks. I was really hoping for some good solid PS2 love tonight during the Sony Press conference. :(

[Peacemaker]

Spike TV is doing a lot of coverage but it seems like they are focusing on games for meat heads and consoles, any chance they will do any coverage of PS?

[Johari]

http://www.twitch.tv/totalbiscuit

TB is doing a stream tonight (Monday) also.

So is no one going to talk about the Planetside 2 Demo channel in TB's Suggested channels? 2 viewers and you can see the game in the thumbnail but its a locked channel. good good good!!

[Kurtz]

OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO DECIDED TO KEEP PS2 OFF THE STAGE BECAUSE ITS NOT A CONSOLE RELEASE.

Make an exception. If its not shown on stage than it's like it didn't exist.

is it any wonder that Planetside 2 isn't in Gamespot's most anticipated games of E3?

http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/e3-anticipated-2012/

Seriously dropping the ball.

E3 > than any other trade show in the industry.

I am very confused right now... After you wrote this post, @planetside2 mentioned that you may have a slot at the Sony show tonight.

Pastasauce (https://twitter.com/planetside2/status/209757458783145984)

So, should we listen to the dog or its tail? Because right now they are telling us two different things. Or am I just misinterpreting the whole thing? :groovy:

[Straws]

Have SOE products ever been included within Sony's press conferences at E3? The only thing i can think of that may have made it through is Star Wars Galaxies, and that would've only occured because of what the IP is.

[kaffis]

OMFG ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WHO DECIDED TO KEEP PS2 OFF THE STAGE BECAUSE ITS NOT A CONSOLE RELEASE.
Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) are two different business entities. SCE is holding the press conference. SCE makes consoles and console games.

It's not hard. It's also exactly why everybody was saying ahead of time that PS2 wouldn't have any presence at the press conference.

Ever hear of Agent buddy?

[JPalmer]

And is anything PS2 related happening today? @Planetside2 said TB was gonna have some gameplay today, but TB said he was starting tomorrow.

Most likely a no in the Sony Presser....

So anything?

[Hamma]

I don't think there is anything major slated for today.

[Dreamcast]

Seriously Sony?



Planetside 2 is only gonna get a Youtube personality as their main way of advertising the game?



This is a joke....Planetside 2 actually seems like it has potential...but I don't know how far it can go if some Youtube guy is the best they can do.


Don't get me wrong I like watching total biscuit video's but gawdamn are they missing potential customers by not putting a little trailer on the Sony presentation.

[CuddlyChud]

Its not really surprising. Those early conferences are usually to promote hardware (like consoles and handhelds) with exclusives. PS2 being a PC game will have to make due with just a booth.

[kaffis]

Planetside 2 is only gonna get a Youtube personality as their main way of advertising the game?
Well, actually -- Planetside 2 is going to be spending 4 entire days letting media representatives play their game for themselves.

That's 100% better than spending 10 minutes talking about the game to media representatives up on a stage and then releasing a canned trailer that will get lost in the mix of a hundred game trailers released around this time.

Instead, they send those media reps home with hands-on experiences and awesome memories of the most unbelievably unique battle they actually played in. And those media reps write stories, and record podcasts and video blogs telling their viewers how awesome it was.

So instead of sending the media away with the same story, they're seeding the media with dozens, hundreds of individual stories to tell, custom tailored to their own audiences.

Sony Online Entertainment isn't putting 1 awesome Higby on the stage to tell the world about Planetside 2. It's putting hundreds of media personalities and reporters on scores of stages to tell the world about Planetside 2 over the coming months. That's press you can't buy with a CGI trailer announcement. :eek:


Ever hear of Agent buddy?
No, actually, I haven't. What are you talking about? Is it some non-console game that got stage time during an SCE press conference?

A announcement presentation will be way better...Not saying thats the only thing they should do and disregard streaming with totalbiscuit but their is reason's why they do them.


They are a good way to hype people up...Just see halo 2 Presentation, that gave me goosebumps.

no, its the other way around. if you're not on the stage you don't exist.
Like every other convention, on Tuesday and Wednesday folks visit the booths that wow'd them on Monday.

E3 started as an electronics expo and still the hardware drives the show, but everyone knows its the games that have stolen the show over the last few years. Last year BF introduced BF3 on stage, 2 years ago, PS introduced MAG etc...

I know a lot of people who watch these announcements on various sites and their takeaway is what they're going to play this year.

so far, I don't even know Planetside 2 exists if I'm watching E3 coverage on G4.tv.

[KTNApollo]

It would be nice if Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo stopped pretending that people enjoy motion controls and only consoles and started giving some PC spotlight. PC is where the real fans are. Console games are more casual, and thus less loyal to the companies. I think the Big 3 should stop pretending that PC gaming is dead. Diablo 3 sold 6,500,000 in one week. PC gaming must be dead.

[Kurtz]

seriously, theres 4 games for Move and its been out for 2 years.

[laelgon]

So the Sony conference was extremely meh except for The Last of Us. Those 10 painful minutes of Wonderbook would have been nicely replaced by a massive Planetside 2 battle.

[Robotix]

Yeah, I'd rather sit through that Usher segment from the MS conference again than 1 more minute of Wonderbook "gameplay". :huh:

[RNFB]

Aren't the conferences pretty much just console war turf?

[kaffis]

E3 started as an electronics expo and still the hardware drives the show, but everyone knows its the games that have stolen the show over the last few years. Last year BF introduced BF3 on stage, 2 years ago, PS introduced MAG etc...
And look at how much people talk about MAG now, huh? That E3 stage exposure really helped it out, and people bought it and tried it thanks to the promises and canned footage they saw there.

No, they didn't, because the instant anybody got their hands on it, they realised it couldn't deliver, and word like that spreads.

The entire point of SOE's presence on the floor is to take advantage of that effect. Because they know that PS2 DOES deliver, and that word will spread, too.

Aren't the conferences pretty much just console war turf?
Yes, but apparently some around here don't really get that. As for the SWG example -- it's a matter of changing attitudes towards the conferences, not the relative merit or potential of the games.

When SWG was released, PC Gaming was bigger than console gaming, and Microsoft wasn't even on the scene driving the console focus harder and harder.

[RawketLawnchair]

I honestly think people don't realize what type of impact this has on the world.

Most of the general public only see the press conference, and end up thinking that those are the only big titles this year.

And not only do development teams suffer for it, so do the players of their games.


And it really pisses me off.

Edit: Which basically means again, the crappiest game will be the game of the year. Again.

[kaffis]

I honestly think people don't realize what type of impact this has on the world.

Most of the general public only see the press conference, and end up thinking that those are the only big titles this year.
This doesn't match the impression I get.

"Most of the general public" certainly doesn't watch 9 hours of video of the conferences. The general public reads reports ON the conference, sure, or watches some reporter's compilation of highlight clips from it.

But the point here is -- most people are reading *reports* on E3.

So if your experience suggests that floor booths don't get media coverage, it's because they don't wow the reporters the way the conferences do.

I can't think of a better way to wow reporters *anywhere* than to get them involved and playing a new experience they've never seen before.

[Anderz]

Yeah, I'd rather sit through that Usher segment from the MS conference again than 1 more minute of Wonderbook "gameplay". :huh:

The gameplay demo was overlong and awkward, but Woderbook is the most innovative thing I've seen so far at E3. As an educational and interactive tool for youngsters, it has a lot of promise. If I was 10, I'd be dying to get my hands on that Book of Spells. Hell, even now I'd prefer that over Grind of War 4.

That being said, I do wish PS2 got some screen time, but the show's far from over yet. It'll be the hands-on experience that will garner PS2 its praise.

[Bruttal]

am glad there gonna record it because ill either be asleep or at work. id like to watch it when I get home though.

[CuddleMeLoki]

Countdown till the stream

http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?msg=Planetside+2+E3+Broadcast&month=06&day=5&year=2012&hour=15&min=00&sec=00&p0=137

[Straws]

Yes, but apparently some around here don't really get that. As for the SWG example -- it's a matter of changing attitudes towards the conferences, not the relative merit or potential of the games.

When SWG was released, PC Gaming was bigger than console gaming, and Microsoft wasn't even on the scene driving the console focus harder and harder.

My fault on the SWG reference. It wasn't made to say "hey, this game got coverage, why can't other SOE products?", it was meant to be directed at Kurtz to get him to calm down a little and think about the relationship between SOE and SCE. I messed up by not quoting him so my post had no context.

However, Kurtz did make a somewhat good point. Just because that's the way things have always been, doesn't mean that they way it should continue to be.

Nintendo, for example, happily showcases products made by multiple development/publisher sources. Sony should honestly consider getting their major subsideries into their conference package, just as a means to direct people to their booth.

SOE does not have enough product to advertise to put out anything like Ubisoft has done this year. They honestly cannot even consider taking stage space to push a single product on their own. So they are going to be confined to their booth. No choice in the matter other than Uncle SCE giving them a little boost.

[Mod]

Let's just be thankful that Planetside 2 has pride of place at the SOE booth.

[rTekku]

Yeah, I'd rather sit through that Usher segment from the MS conference again than 1 more minute of Wonderbook "gameplay". :huh:

That Usher performance was full of lulz.

Why Microsoft would bring out Usher in front of a crowd of gamers is beyond me. But hey, they always need a celebrity to promote whatever it is they are doing.

[kaffis]

Nintendo, for example, happily showcases products made by multiple development/publisher sources. Sony should honestly consider getting their major subsideries into their conference package, just as a means to direct people to their booth.
Sony does this, too, as does Microsoft, when they're able to snag 3rd party exclusives. Because the presentations are all about pimping the console hardware and handheld, and have been for pretty much the last decade.

Square, for instance, is a non-Sony development house/publisher, yet, the latest FF always gets time at E3s on the Sony stage, because they're Playstation exclusives.

This, I watched the entire sony press release thingy and I can say I was not impressed by anything they had to offer and people seem to think it was the best press release I mean come on a MMOFPS how awesome is that it's all multi-player. Most of the games showcased this year focused on the single-player aspect which is good but people want more multi-player and this gives it to them. This would have been amazing. But you showcase things like COD. God this pisses me off.

Advertising is why Planetside 1 wasn't overflowing all over the place now they are failing again

[kaffis]

Trying to convert FPS gamers to a subscription service is the reason Planetside 1 wasn't "overflowing all over the place." See also: high system requirements and demanding bandwidth requirements.

IGN is still doing a live stream right? If so what is the link to it?

[Haro]

http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/06/04/ign-live-at-e3-2012

That's the link to the live stream, they say they're doing planetside 2 at 3:00 PDT, 6:00 EDT. So that's 15 minutes away!

[Vanir]

Awsome thanks! 5 mins to go! :D

[AgtPanda]

I missed it! :( What happened?

[Vanir]

Just 10 mins of Higby being interviewed and showing off the game. No new information. I wished it was longer than 10 mins though... :(

[Gonefshn]

The IGN stream did have further confirmation of Beta starting in the next few weeks as well as them aiming for a 2012 release!

Great stream. I feel like whenever most of the devs talk about the game they miss some important points about the scale and the spread of players over the large open world and it worries me that people will see it as either a clusterfuck or a smaller scale game than it actually is.
Higby always gets it right though, he touched on everything I thought he should have said and explained it well. I hope people see it and see the graphics and have enough imagination to see what is possible!

ALSO: The IGN streams are put up as recorded VOD's like 45 mins or so after they air so if you missed it It should be up within the hour.
