Sony, Whatcha Showin At PAX?
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 5:30 PM on August 28, 2008
This! All of this stuff. Most of it playable, some of it playable only by Sony types. Point is, it's all of Sony's stuff, and if you're heading on up to PAX, you may as well know what you're getting yourself in for. The biggest draw will probably be playable Resistance 2 multiplayer, though MotorStorm 2 and SOCOM Confrontation should also be a hit with the kids. Click through for the full lineup.
Resistance 2 Multiplayer
SOCOM: Confrontation
MotorStorm 2
Resistance: Retribution

@FP Shindokie: Could be Socom since Resistance hasn't hit the time period that the M16 was manufactured and then experienced mass deployment.
Then again who cars about M16s when you've got guys in VTOLs shooting spikey exploding bubbles.

@Xuchilbara: Uncharted 3 out by 2009? Don't be silly. Uncharted 2, possibly. I'd also like to see it, alongside WKS.

@foxhound417: That's a lion cranium and contorted rib cage, the lion seems to have died after ingesting a 5.56 caliber M16/A?.The human died after beeing raped up the ribs by some sort of club-the shock and awe still visible on him.

@insane_cobra: I think they've been letting people play it on the trucks they've be rolling around the country all summer (MLB All-Star game, Lollapalooza, etc.)

Why won't they let people play LittleBigPlanet? Isn't it supposed to be out soon? That game needs all the exposure it can get.

Try not to make mistakes yourself when correcting people.
There ARE people here who will RACK you over the coals or just laugh at you.

Don't confuse the opinions and preferences of Mr. Plunkett with those of the other editors or Kotaku as a whole.
Crecente, McWhertor, Bash, and Fahey are all pretty fair and unbiased about their work.

None of these are relevant to my interests except maybe SingStar. Even then it's only relevant if they are demoing Singstar: Queen.

@boringjob2:
You can in fact rake coals.
I assumed that since you where reffering to it as a punishment for a person that you meant to use rack.
As in "to rack"
verb
1. To bring great harm or suffering to: afflict, agonize, anguish, curse, excruciate, plague, scourge, smite, strike, torment, torture. See attack/defend, help/harm/harmless.
2. To subject (another) to extreme physical cruelty, as in punishing: crucify, torment, torture. Idioms: put on therackwheel. See pain/pleasure, reward/punish/deserve.

@VishusBurn: No clue what you're trying to say.
Unless you're trying to imply that my use of rake was wrong?

Thanks for illustrating my point about people raking others over the coals due to grammar, though. I appreciated your help.

Well then I award you points for originality.
I can't say I ever heard of making someone lay in coals and then raking them. Bravo.
The Rack is way too played out anyways.

That's quite enough grammar policing thank you.
@VishusBurn: The picture is the same one Sony used on their own post. So I'm not really sure where you're going with that.

@Luke Plunkett:
People have a tendency to perceive your editorial style as being bias, and in turn paint Kotaku as being bias as well.
I was simply trying to convey that Kotaku is made up of many editors with different opinions and that Kotaku as a whole can't really be bias.

@boringjob2: I got the email saying LBP will be playable as well. Hmm I was going to grab some tickets to pax off craigslist. I would've liked to have seen Killzone 2 multiplayer since we've been hearing about it for ages. I doubt they want to steal the thunder from R2.
