I'm still waiting to hear what "surprises" sony had. As far as I'm concerned they didn't show anything we didn't already know about. Sure Killzone 2 looked nice, but when all is said and done most people seem more excited aby COD4, RE5, Halo 3, nothing for Killzone 2 convinced it will sell amazing. The Price Drop we all knew about, the slim psp we all knew, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Lair, MGS, and just about every other game they showed we knew about already and we didn't see anything new to change our opinion about them. This time around Home now feels old already and came off like an annoying waiting room for the console. Infamous was new and looked interesting, but the short clip was hardly enough to apreciate the gameplay. GT 5 look like the free demo, and they didn't say anything else about it, or even it's release date.

the best thing about Sony is Little Big Planet, the new videos looked amazing, amazing, amazing. It's the only game they showed that really looked ground breaking. Honestly these next gen guys really have to start pushing the envelope, I'm a little sick of every game looking look like a a dark sci-fi shooter, with hardly anything new in gameplay. The only game that looked to be breaking ground in that area is Fracture.


New at E3: price-cut counts even if it was leaked because it was an E3 announcement (and not everyone knew because many people were predicting no price-cut this year), echochrome, infamous, epic deal with unreal engine whcih confirms EGM (last issue) rumor that Sony has a deal with them for an exclusive game, UT3 with keyboard/mouse support and PC mods which pretty much makes it equal to PC version which is a first in console history and something M$ won't let epic do, GT5 Prologue coming this holiday season sporting the best graphics in console history thus far, Killzone actually living up to expectations, Haze confirmed timed exclusive, ncsoft exclusive deal, home showing completely new areas and a menu option to go straight to multiplayer motorstorm (awesome, just what it needs to be worth it...actually makes it quicker to get to games, not slower), home showing that non-realistic skins will be available since rachet and clank suit was shown, and Sony making fun of themselves showing they aren't pompous jackasses.

What else did you want? It's certainly the most new stuff this year.


Well first off I'm not going to get excited about new menu options, and timed exclusives(we know how this is working out for VF5) Price cut is nice but we all knew it was coming just not this soon, and I saw this as a bad sign, I think Sony should have waited till the holidays. keyboard/mouse support being exciting? Yeah if your a hardcore pc gamer in which case you probably have a pc and play shooters on that. Killzone 2 did look amazing, but after seeing the video, I was incredibly underwhelmed, and it made me realize, graphics in the big picture were not that important the game looks to much like everything else. COD4 looked more itneresting, Fracture's terran deforming grenades and Assassin's Creed crowd AI looked to be pushing the edge more. And GT5 is the same game as always, I don't recall hearing about new gameplay modes, no crash damage was announced, which is really dissapointing.

It's my personal opinion, I just like to see all this high powered technology being used to create something new and amazing, something that gets me to say, "wow, that's so cool, I can't wait to play that!" and the only game that made me feel that way at their conference was Little Big Planet. Which I can't stop saying how awesome it looks. Yet I'm afraid it won't be huge considering how much it stands out from Sony's standard fanfare.
