    Sony had the best confernce by far. I don't own a PS3 or PSP but man they did put on a great show. Awesome demos some numbers but not heavy, and a slew of games. Like the Nintendo Conference it wasn't gawdy like The Microsoft conference.
    Overall good show. There are some stuff there that I was like okay...I need to get a ps3. Just don't have the cash to support that many systems :(
    A+ for sony!

    @metalicat: MS was more of a "here's what we think we can do with it" and "here's a few example from an upcoming game". Sony had "here's a tech demo with a variety of examples".

    In real life, you're not going to have more than one IR light source unlike on the stage with multiple Natals and stage lights. And, Sony's tech ALSO uses IR light, but the source is the handles instead of the camera itself.

    I hate school!  Missed the first part of the conference. But from what I saw, sony put up a pretty good conference.  Hopefully I will be able to rewatch this sometime else.

    You guys are watching this on G4 TV right? They were just showing a whole lot more God Of War III, more than what was shown on stage.

    Just wanted to let everyone know

    @Karmum:

    that's because there is no argument you said it yourself  showing games in the last 15-30 minutes and all that other bull hockey you spit.
    Sony did not have an OMG mind explosion in a paint factory showing at the conference. It was Okay and could have been much better. I am all about gaming and they didn't do much to get my gaming groove sparked. MAG is interesting but they didn't show anything I didn't already know.

    I liked sony because they showed lots of live game demos or at least trailers with gameplay in it. I liked the motion thing and I usually think all motion sensing is stupid shit. The only down part for me was the entire PSP section.

    Well, in my mind, Sony had the best of the 3 major conferences.  They impressed me with Uncharted & Assassin's Creed 2 on stage demos, and I was ready to give them the prize at that point, but then they added the mini-kart racer demo, the news of Final Fantasy XVI Online and closed with the awesome God of War 3 demo.  The conference was just so jam packed with good stuff that I am really looking forward to the next year as a PS3 owner.  Don't get me wrong, I am in no way abandoning my 360, especially with Mass Effect 2 on the way, but the breath of games coming to the PS3 is exciting. 

    I personally wasn't impressed by the MAG demo and news of GT5 thrills me about as much as Forza 3 and Need for Speed Shift.  Which is zero.  I'm not a sim racer fan, I like'm arcadey and over the top (thank you Criterion).  The PS3 wand and PSP GO were interesting, but I'm not sure they are for me.  On the other hand, PSP will have Persona, so I am borderline on that product.

    Overall, Sony did a steller job at keeping me interested through most of the show and truly excited during some parts.

    @MrKlorox: agreed but, it does make it more than just an idea. They have the technology (they can rebuild him?) and they gave demonstrations hence tech demos.

    I really didn't like it, even as a PS3 owner.

    • Mag's HUD was ridiculously chunky and busy to the point of being laughable.
    • God Of War games have never interested me so that didn't really wow me. Looked pretty much like a newer Heavenly Sword to me.
    • PSP Go still looks bad imo. Although I'm glad the FW updates will not cater to the Go/Traditional separately.
    • FFXIV provided a momentary 'Wow... Oh. Online.' Biggest anticlimax ever.
    • A 'true' MGS game on PSP? No thank you. 

    There were parts I did like though:
    • Mod Nation Racers looks rad.
    • The motion control stuff looked like an interesting mix of the 360 and wii tech and it seemed to work very well, although I prefered the potential of Natal imho, especially after the recent hands on impressions of it with Burnout Paradise working well.

    Still, it was hard not to be a better conference than Nintendo's.

    But Heavenly Sword was itself a new God of War! However I totally see your point on MAG's interface, here's hoping they chop it down a bit before release. I enjoyed it overall, the new GT's look awesome, as does the new team ico project.

    Gran Turismo 5 trailer, new-motion controller from PS3, God of War III ending it, Final Fantasy 14, the Last Guardian (i.e. Team ICO), Mod Nation Racing. Trying to think of everything after GT PSP. Missing some, but it was very solid.

    Oh yeah Team ICO - that was a positive for me in all honesty. Although it didn't give much away and the creature was the most messed up dogbird ever, I kinda fell for it. Nice score too. Looking forward to seeing how that one turns out.

    I thought it was ok...

    -Motion Controller looked, eh. Intresting but could either be really good or terrible.
    -The Last Guardian, GOW3, and Uncharted all looked great.
    -Final Fantasy 14, yeah, MMO. I really was like, holy shit, and then I laughed.
    -Gran Turismo seems to have fallen under Forza.
    -MAG really did not impress, it actually disapointed me. 
    -No demo of FF13, I guess Microsoft got that.
    -The Final Fantasy  7 and the Rad Racer look cool.

    Overall it was good. On par with last year, maybe better, but got extremly boring during the PSP.

    Gran Turismo trailer was better than Forza's trailer. I think GT will be the better racer for me personally.

    Here's the GT5 trailer:



    They have it listed as a "concept" trailer. Now, if they don't include car damage in the final product they can say it was never officially confirmed. I'm hoping for the best though.

    Really impressed. It started out bad with numbers and such, but from then on it was quite good once Uncharted 2 was shown. I liked the motion controller more than I thought I would. Montages went on a bit long, and I wish they showed the names of the games since some looked interesting. All the live game demos looked solid and The Last Guardian trailer has me excited. The PSP lineup was better than I expected, but I'll stick with current hardware. As far as new games, FFXIV totally came out of nowhere (megaton?), and I want more information on Agent.

    I never said that you were a fool. I am also not a fanboy. Sony's conference was not notably better in every respect it was rather dull and uninspired actually, but it wasn't horrible just luke warm. I would also disagree that  I am fool-like in any way.

    Coming from someone with a Master Chief avatar, your comments don't surprise me.

    I watched Microsoft's press conference seven times because I enjoyed it so much. But Sony I felt had a much better lineup. Loved MS for their Natal, but the 1:1 tracking of the Motion control was insane, especially with the precision and accuracy. MGS Peacewalker looked outstanding for a PSP title. God of war looked great and the announcement of Final Fantasy 14 was great. The audience reactions were more abundant than other press conferences. Sony was just plain good.

    Either way, I am going to be a poor person next spring. One of the problems of owning all systems.

    @AuthenticM: I saw it coming...We all knew Square Enix was working on an exclusive MMO for the PS3, though I thought it was rumored to not be a FF game. Apparently those rumors were wrong because I can't see Square Enix working on another PS3-exclusive MMO to compete with themselves, but I have seen dumber things...

    "This sticky is created solely to discuss the Sony press conference. So please keep discussion about the other two conferences contained to their respective stickied topics." I'ma assume the motion controller stick is part of this since it's only classified... eh whatever, part of this anyways.. It's my assumption. I'd just want to comment on hoping that this baby gets a Star Wars lightsaber game for it.

    Congrats on the winning banner!

    Man, that was an awesome show. I'm looking forward to most of the games.

    Sony had the best keynote, they only demoed exclusive things on the Ps3, the Assassin's Creed 2 demo was only a excuse to say  "hey, our version has PSP-bound exclusive content". They showed new hardware, that's a major thing despite that stupid Qore leak, it is something new. They showed a LOT of exclusives if we include PSP and the motion control seems to be the mos responsible motion control to date. Microsoft  was saved by the bell with the "exclusive announcement" of MGS Rising, yeah just the announcement, it is a multiplatform game.
