Sony Press Conference Impressions




Sony had a very long but enjoyable conference compared to the other conferences by Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft. Sony started things out right by addressing the PSN outage and Jack Trentton apologized to everyone about the lessons they learned about security. After that they started out by showing off a new level for Uncharted 3 and it can only be described as AWESOME! Throughout the rest of the show sony showed off a demo for Resistence 3 (way to short, 3 min), NBA 2K12 (Move Support.....yeah), Infamous 2 launch trailer (good), Bioshock:Infinte gameplay trailer (move suport...could be cool also new NGP Bioshock), Medevil moves demo (has poteintail), a new FPS that is related to the wold of EVE online (need to see more), and 2 new HD collections this September God of War PSP game collection and Team Ico collection (September is gonna be even better now I can't wait!).


Next Sony brought Kaz out to show off the NGP and announce the new name as well has pricing for the 2 different models. NGP will now be called PSVita (sigh...) and there will be a Wi-Fi only model for $249 and a 3G Wi-Fi model will retail for $299 (3DS better watch out) also the PSVita will release this holiday. The PSVita has over 80 titles in development and they showed some really cool games for the PSVita launch window. They showed off Uncharted:Golden Abyess (AWESOME! and portable), LittleBigPlanet (all new levels+transferable DLC!!!), Modnation Racers (new tracks and cool new features for track editing), Ruin (eh it has cloud saves for PS3), Street FighterXTekken(XInfamous, yes Cole is in a fighting game and looks sweet).



I really enjoyed the Sony conference a lot and can only really say there are a few complaints about what I was missing. I wouldn't have minded some cool Kevin Buttler speech as well as show some attention to the last real year of the PSP and announce Valkeria Chronicles 3, a boy can dream... Still by the end of it I really enjoyed the 90 minute show as a whole.
