K, we're in.
Good news - they've got it working.
Bad news - no filming, and it's the E3 demo.
I'll be taking pics, though.
They just tried to make us deaf with a fucked speaker.
Hopefully this isn't an indication of what's about to happen.
We were watching them testing it through the room's door. They were shooting the skeletons with the horny hats.
Movement. Should be just a few minutes.
The word "disappointing" is being bandied around in the crowd. Hopefully the demo will make up for it.
We should get some new info at least.
Matt GI and Ellie Eurogamer sat behind me. Very professional.
The atmosphere's a bit more jovial than it was yesterday. I think everyone's still pissed.
Phil Harrison and Shuhei Yoshida were at the GI party last night, by the way.
Right, we're off.
Guy on stage making intro in Swahili. Seriously.
They're stressing there's no filming because it's "protoype hardware".
They're specifically going to tell us when we can take photos.
Kish Hirani's talking now.
The motion controller was stuck in British customs for four days.
It's "really cold in there". "Hopefully it'll be running."
They're saying the back half of the talk will be "very technical".
SCEE dev services are based in central London.
Talking about PlayStation DevNet.
They're getting an indication of who's worked on which platform.
"If you ever want to become a PlayStation developer it's not that difficult. We'll get you there."
The Home icon has now been added to Devnet.
Hot shit.
He's talking about the "mini dev kit". It's been about for six months.
It's on the screen.
Um...
I can't take a shot of it. It just looks like a little PS3.
He's holding up a PSP Go dev kit unit.
It's a PSP Go with a fuck off lead sticking out of the back of it.
He's got the motion sticks in his hand.
"It doesn't like me moving on the stage."
He's holding two sticks. One with a purple light on top, one with a red light.
"It doesn't resemble the final unit as such."
The PS Eye is tracking the ball. The camera tracks the X, Y position. Depth is tracked by the "size of the ball".
He's just confirmed he's going to do the E3 demo again.
"There's no hidden agenda" to showing the same stuff. "It's because everyone in the office loves it."
He's playing the game.
He's using the right stick to throw shuriken at the advancing zombies.
He's a bit rubbish at it.
He's going mental, throwing dozens of shuriken very quickly.
