All due respect to Sony I had a feeling a lackluster conference was upon us. The conference seemed to be PSP dominated with major new titles annouced for the PSP. The thing that dissapointed me was Sony having to go to a highlight reel opposed to actually talking about the games coming out. Like LittleBigPlanet for the PSP wasn’t explained at all, it was just shown I wanted to see footage for it. The conference started out decent, with them talking about certain games seeing Uncharted 2 was pretty sweet as well as Assasin’s Creed 2. The sweet part was seeing MAG with tons of people playing on it. The one thing I loved about Sony’s conference was the humor factor was a little up for there conference.
Sony also annouced awhole bunch of huge games for the PSP as I mentioned earlier. The PSP will be getting a new Metal Gear game, and a new Grand Turismo game both of which look great. As well as a brand new Resident Evil game made especially for the PSP. Sony did something stupid or at least I thought it was, when they annouced and showed footage for FFXIV. When they are still working on XIII it was a very, very stupid move on the behalf of Sony they wasted an annoucement that would of won them E3 next year. But no.. they had to annouce it a year early at least it’s a PS3 exclusive. Sony also annouced a new bunch of content for the PSN Video Store, but still it is unavailable in Canada. Seriously, what the fuck Sony?
You’d like to think Sony had a lot to there conference but the PSP Go! was very dissapointing well probably the most dissapointing part was them annoucing the price. $250? Really Sony? Who is going to buy that when they can buy a PSP 3000 for almost $100 cheaper it’s so dump. As well as them annoucing something based off of the LittleBigPlanet concept that was a racer. Although it did look interesting it won’t have the same appeal to adults as LittleBigPlanet did. Sony finished off their conference with God Of War 3 footage and it was annouced for March 2010, the footage was cut short which didn’t help either. The only other notable thing from the conference was a motion controller, Sony is way too late for the motion controllers in my opinion.
Nintendo capped off the day with Miyamoto saying in a round table conference in the afternoon. That he would like to release a new Zelda game NEXT YEAR. He also apologized for no moves on the Pikmin front, but with the Zelda annoucement giving us hope for next year. Nintendo sealed the deal and in my opinion won E3, with Microsoft in a very close second. Sony following up with a dissapointing E3 only really showing new PSP games and a hidden exclusive IP from Rockstar (Agent) People may disagree with me but I think Nintendo won, and they deserve it for the annoucements they gave. What an improvement from last year for Microsoft, and Nintendo. But Sony, jeez.
Nice article even I though I disagree, Sony needed to push the PSP especially now that they are putting out a new SKU and getting promising games. Overall I thought Microsoft and Sony both had amazing presentations and Nintendo was ass. Wii,lol.
that psp is a rip off. too expensive for less features.
