Sony's head of worldwide development, Phil Harrison, has been interviewed onstage at DICE 07. Wired blogged live from the event. Immediately, he tells everyone he's been playing LocoRoco 2 on the way over, the big show-off. He also namechecks Super Rub 'a Dub, the downloadable rubber duckie sim certain to become PS3's killer app. Only kidding. Looks fun though.
Harrison later manages to dodge the question about Sony's open-ended online gaming infrastucture, by pointing out that it's an evolving system (sounds like McClaren talking about England's midfield), but clearly, the company has an announcement up its sleeve and Phil doesn't want to blow it. He's better on complaints from developers that PS3 is too complex to program for (they're never happy - no suprise there). He finishes with a demo of Singstar which shows how players will be able to download tracks (from a database of around 2000 the producer told me) and upload their own performances via a USB camera. Oh no, it's massively multiplayer online Pop Idol. Why do you want to go and put stars in their eyes?
