Since TGS many have been wondering why Sony didn’t have any playable demos of any upcoming PS3 games, as Ken Kutarag earlier had hinted that there would. A Sony Computer Entertainment executive has now gone on record to explain why there were no playable PS3 games at this year's Tokyo Game Show.
Speaking to Famitsu magazine, Masatsuka Saeki said that Sony could have presented playable demos if wished. However, the decision was taken to use video footage only since TGS marked the first time the PS3 was being shown on Japanese soil.
He went on to explain that Sony wanted consumers to feel the same level of impact that those in the industry experienced on seeing the PS3 trailers at E3. Saeki did concede, however, that allowing visitors to actually play the games would have created more of a buzz.
He also revealed that Metal Gear Solid 4 footage was added to the trailer line-up at the last minute - Sony had originally planned to present a video similar to that seen at E3, showcasing mainly European titles. The MGS4 footage was added to the reel after it was received by SCE in late August.
