Here's a handy bullet-point list of all the trailers and announcements coming out of the Sony camp. We'll update this page regularly with the best stuff they release this week. 

Top 10 Trailers/Demos


Sony Bullet Points


  • PSP Go! is Sony's new handheld. It will cost $249.99 and be wifi enabled with a 16 GB flash drive. You'll be able to direct download games, movies and TV shows onto the device. It is 40% lighter then the original PSP unit.
  • Gran Turismo PSP will be a launch title for the PSP Go!
  • Big releases for the PSP Go! include Resident Evil and Metal Gear: Peace Walker. Peace Walker is a true sequel in the Metal Gear franchise and will be set in the 1970s.
  • Sony is working on a motion control device that while still in the early stages, looked like it might be stiff competition for Natal.
  • God of War III was presented through a gameplay demo that looked pretty epic. Certainly the bloodiest game yet.
  • The Last Guardian is a new PS3 game from the maker's of Ico. It includes a Bird/Dog/Rat creature. Hard to explain :)
  • Final Fantasy XIV was announced and will feature some online components. It, unlike XIII, will be a Sony exclusive title.
  • Assassin's Creed 2 was shown with gameplay. Involved some high flying action in DaVinci's flying machine.
  • Rockstar North is working on an exclusive title for the PS3 named Agent. Not much is know.
  • You'll be able to download Final Fantasy VII on PSN.
  • ModNation Races is a PS3 kart game that allows you to build virtual tracks and share with friends. Think LittleBigPlanet for racing.
  • Sony will still continue to support current PSPs.
  • An Uncharted 2 trailer was shown. It included a pretty impressive fight with a helicopter.
  • MAG was demoed for the second E3 in a row. This time live with a 250 person game being played. It is due "This Fall"

MAG looks amazing.... that's a sweet demo they did.

Sony had an impressive showing of games. And because of that they stole the show, in my opinion. Let's just say that my 360 will be collecting dust for the most part of 2009.

Doesnt it!!! Im kinda tempted to see whether this works back towards pc platforms though  -i mean the pc online gaming infrastructure is much more suited to this kind of thing - maybe after seeing the risk/success of MAG maybe we'll see similar scale on the pc?

@OmegaPirate: completely agreed. i think its incredibly how many people they have in the match and how great the gameplay looks.

Indeed :D 

I mean admittedly, there are a lot better looking titles out this gen - especially in the FPS department -but i'll be goddamned if they manage to pack this much strategy- polish and style into a game featuring a stupendous amount of players 

Although i feel a little unnerved by everyones staple fear with this title- even in halo, Killzone or call of duty- one laggy guy can kill a feel good game - god i hope the netcode is up to scratch for this

I wonder why not many media make lists like this, I like it.

Agreed with everyone on the MAG demo. I thought that was mighty impressive. It looks super deep aswell - like I can't imagine playing this and doing well on my first few matches. It looks like there's a tactical thing going on with it.

I was so hoping they'd announce/put out AdHoc party for the US at the very least. I mean, that goes hand-in-hand with the PSPGo! announcement, and all the games they showed had some AdHoc multiplayer.

Sony had a lot of cool stuff but, the show sorta felt a little disorganized and sloppy. But overall all cool stuff, definitely looking forward to getting a PS3.

A few points:
  • ModNation Racers is currently named incorrectly as ModNation Races. I requested a rename yesterday, but it has not yet been performed. Maybe you could do it and then fix your link.
  • Final Fantasy XIV's link goes to the Final Fantasy IV page.

@LordAndrew: As usual your attention to detail is impressive. Fixed.

Great Conference this year from Sony, in ReTarDedFisHy's opinion.

Mag looks pretty wild to me, it's like a full on war sim. Uncharted 2 and GOW were awesome as expected and Modnation looks like cart racing but actually fun!

So excited that GT5 is going to include WRC and Nascar, should mean there's heaps of variety to the title and there was damage ;)

New motion control looked super tight and actually here and now realistic instead of pie in the sky. The only problem for me was the lack of new heavy rain and ratchet info/footage and no release date for the last guardian...
