Sony has provided more details on its gamescom presence, starting with its press conference which kicks off at 7.00pm CET/6.00pm BST on August 14. It will be streamed live from the PlayStation Blog. A panel discussion will also take place, the topic being “games as art”, and it will include: SCWW president Shuhei Yoshida, Ian Dallas, co-founder of Giant Sparrow, Kellee Santiago, co-founder of thatgamecompany, Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule, Adam Volker from Moonbot Studio, and a special guest “working on a currently unannounced project.” The panel will be streamed live as well. Gamescom runs August 15-19.

Sony’s Guido Alt has said Sony has yet to decide whether or it will be attending gamescom this year. Speaking with Games Industry Germany, the SCE’s German communications director said the firm is still deciding whether it “makes sense to exhibit at gamescom every year.” He continued: “We are still negotiating with Koelnmesse. What I can say is that we did not sign a contract so far.”

The Sony press event is live at GamesCom and president Andrew House just said that PSN has made $280 million since launch.

There have also been 560 million downloads of game-centric content, with a connection rate of 60 percent with 27 million registrants.

“PSN is The Future”, said House. “It’s a service that delivers a unique offering for everyone.”
