E3 08: Valkyria Chronicles not really on PSP photo

Usually the first thing I think about when someone mentions Valkryia Chronicles is how Sega wants us to spell it for the week. While the spelling may have varied in the past, Sega has never wavered from the game's release on the PlayStation 3 this November. At the Sony press conference yesterday, Sony showed off a snippet of the gameplay. The only problem, as the perceptive eyes at Kotaku caught, is that the video was shown during the PSP demo.

This kind of mistake is not exactly the worst thing that could have happened. Imagine if Sony showed it off as a downloadable PS1 title. Sony has yet to comment on the mess up, and we wonder if any video editors have suddenly found themselves in the job market again. Fortunately, there was little kickback from the gaming community for the mess up.

This has got me thinking about other blunders that could have happened during the show. Imagine the God of War III trailer airing during the PS2 segment at the Sony conference, or accidental Mii shots during the Avatar bit at Microsoft’s show. What other potentially epic failures or miscues can you think of?

Well, that explains why when I searched for pictures of the PSP game, I found nothing; and why the only mention of it being a PSP game was Dale's comment in the liveblog.

Kind of disappointing, as I was hoping to see how it looked on PSP hardware, and also hoping for some kind of connectivity between the two versions. Still, I'll pick it up for PS3, so as long as I get to play it, it's cool.

FFXIII at the MS conference? Oh, wait, nevermind.


Honestly, having Halo play at the Sony conference would have blown my socks off, mistake or not. It would be the most hilarious mistake to date and would have lit the internet on fire in seconds.

That's crazy but the funny thing is when you watch that video I don't hink it would be possible to have graphics like that on the PSP....

Well that's a shame, I want to play that game but not enough to get a PS3.

How about; Microsoft not allowing to let the developer who put them on a spot to release details about their own game during E3 that made their cleverly designed marketing pointless?

Well, it was announced for release on the PS3 a while ago, this isn't a mistake that I would've stopped the show for. I think the only people that should really be upset is Sega and Sony.

Nintendo's conference was a pretty good example of both.
