Sony explains lack of playable PS3 games at TGS

Post by fac51 »

A Sony Computer Entertainment executive has gone on record to explain why there were no playable PS3 games at this year's Tokyo Game Show - despite Ken Kutaragi's previous promises.

Speaking to Famitsu magazine, Masatsuka Saeki said that Sony could have presented playable demos if wished. However, the decision was taken to use video footage only since TGS marked the first time the PS3 was being shown on Japanese soil.

He went on to explain that Sony wanted consumers to feel the same level of impact that those in the industry experienced on seeing the PS3 trailers at E3. Saeki did concede, however, that allowing visitors to actually play the games would have created more of a buzz.

I just thought it was because the games weren't ready yet and showing them in their unedited format may put people off as it's not that good? After all the PS3 comes out march next year unlike the 360 which is this year next month.
