ThreeSpeech event news unveiled -- straight from Ben/Sony to you!
A while back we talked about Ben, that lucky guy who got to attend the ThreeSpeech event out in London, thanks to Sony and apparently some divine powers. What did he find out? Well, if he were allowed to question Phil Harrison ruthlessly rather than a tight 15-minute Q&A shared with everyone else, probably a lot more. A short list to summarize:
Sony currently has no plans to allow homebrewers access to the RSX graphics chip.
Don't hold your breath for any sort of VGA cables. You weren't? Okay.
As we've reported, Gran Turismo HD will be free to download in Japan on December 24th. More free content will follow -- so that's cool. Just send it stateside, Sony! And... Europe-side?
The Remote Play feature is going to allow acces to your PS3 from you PSP via any WiFi spot on the planet. I personally thought it was just the PS3's wireless that the PSP would read -- so to me, this is great news.
Phil Harrison's favorite non-Sony game is Nintendogs, which interestingly enough got a perfect 40 score in Famitsu -- a coveted score indeed. Just a little fun fact.
We were promised some insight as to how Lair was shaping up. Poor Ben. Poor us! Lair wasn't available for play. Why? Since Ben is a smooth individual, he flirted around and found out that the current build of Lair is extremely unstable. To quote the lady he spoke with, "The problem is there's something very wrong with Lair." Oh no! I'm going to go ahead and speculate they've been working on it since the Tokyo Game Show and have too many loose codes hanging around that would seize the game -- or didn't get to complete some graphic models that are fairly integral to the game (like, oh, dragons). Whatever! In any case, check out Ben's experience. It sounded like a blast... now I just have to find a damn PS3 now that finals are over! Hooray for college.
[thank you very much for the news, Ben! Seriously!]
