Thought's on Sony's E3 Press Conference.

Just like my thoughts on Microsoft and Nintendo's press conferences, I'll ty and keep this short and sweet and just talk about what I liked from Sony's '09 E3 offerings.

Not wanting to be left out in the cold Sony unveiled their answer to the motion control question. Though no name for their device was given (that I heard anyways) they did show it off and it looks really impressive.

From what I gather you hold 2 black wands that have a glowing 'ball' at the end, and when you move these wands around the PlayStation Eye picks up on these movements and your on screen character responds accordingly.

Basically just like the Wii, but on a much more powerful scale, tech-wise, I'd imagine. They showed how one might fight a foe using a bullwhip, sword, and bow and arrow among others. And I gotta say, out of the three motion controllers that were shown, Sony's impressed me the most.

I can't wait to check this out when it drops this spring...well at least that's what they said the release window was. We'll see. *cough HOME cough*

The new PSP GO was also debuted yesterday and I'm sorta interested in finding out more. GO will ditch the UMD discs of PSP 1000 thru 3000 and will instead go completely digital for it's games, movies, etc.  Sony said it was coming to North America this October with a price tag of $249...which if you ask me is pretty high considering it ditches the UMD optical drive, thus ideally making it cheaper to make, and it'll be as powerful as the current PSP.

So why it's $249 is beyond me, but there you go.

Games shown off:

MAG or Massive Action Game (nice title?) by the guys at Zipper was not overly impressive...hopefully it was just a bad demo.

God of War 3 looks really good, and not overly different from the previous PS2 and PSP versions...though I cannot wait to play it.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves kicked off Sony's day, and boy o boy does this game look good. So good infact that it just might melt my tv. 

MGS Peace Walker, GT PSP, LBP PSP, and a new Resident Evil were all announced coming to the PSP later on down the road.

Out of those I'm most excited to hear about the new RE game.

I love Resident Evil... *sniff*

FF 13 and 14 were shown. 14 is going to be an MMO, so I guess I'll be skipping that one.

And to top it off came the trailer for Team ICO's new game entitled The Last Guardian and the announcement that FF7 is now available for download from PSN...which got a pretty big pop from the crowd.

 So that's about it in terms of what really stood out to me from Sony's big day. It was a great event that showed off some pretty great stuff that'll be in our hot little hands before we know it.

If you haven't yet bought a PS3 you'll be missing out on alot of great stuff in the coming months and I gotta ask;

What are you waiting for?

Oh yeah.

A price drop...

Next Up: I pick E3's winner out of the big 3.
