Oh yea, while Portal 2 wasn't that big of a surprise (c'mon, we knew it was coming, by EA anyways), but the fact that Gabe Newell showed up is big. It basically said that Valve will make games for PS3 and not leave it to EA....maybe L4D3?

I have to admit the things that impressed me most include:

PS MOVE being $49.99 (Kinect is $149)

 

 


But complete bundle cost is 99$. Still way better then 149$.

I didnt get the Portal 2 part. Isnt Portal 1 already on PS3 in the Orange Box?

So why bring Gabe there just to tell you that Portal 2 is coming to PS3 (duh)? Or did I miss something?

Valve have been saying over and over that it wasn't ready to support the PS3 and that the Orange Box on the PS3 was... I can't remember the exact wording, but they weren't proud of it. It was EA who ported it regardless.

Portal 2 was announced for 360 and PC, and now it's on PS3 as well, so Valve first "real" PS3 game, and it will have Steam Cloud integration, that's pretty exciting I think.

Killzone 3 was very impressive. Especially if that was in 3-D. I love ice and snow maps. I don't understand how they pull that off (to run that in 3-D).

Move seems to have nice and useful support in some core games.

That Sorcery game looked kinda cool.

Twisted Metal is not my tipe of game but graphically having such huge maps with fast action was impressive.

The Good
 
David S. - "Well there are so many things I could consider good about Sony’s conference. They brought some big announcements such as Portal 2 and The new Twisted Metal game, which look pretty damn impressive. The thing that I was most impressed by was the appearance of the legendary Kevin Butler. Butler gave a motivational speech at Sony’s Conference that really hit home. Kevin Butler may have won Sony E3 in the eyes of their fans!"
 
Steve H. – "Sony started the show off by playing on the bread and butter of the industry….games. A deep showcase of Killzone 3 in the third dimension as well as a montage of 3D games to be released in the coming months. There was a lot to love with this conference, like: Portal 2, Twisted Metal, Kevin Butler, PS , Gran Turismo 5, and much, much more. The presentations were outstanding and never felt like they were taking a subject into overkill. A pleasant surprise was the liveliness of the presenters and how they interacted with the audience, rather than feeling like the show was entirely scripted. The one thing I was happy with in the Sony conference was the huge amount of content covered, which Microsoft and Nintendo really didn’t delve into."
 
The Bad
 
David S. - "As always with Sony’s press conferences they love to talk! No problem with that, but they talked way more than I would have liked to have seen. The one good thing out of all the talking was the fact that they did not harp on sales for a majority of their speaking. Still, I would have loved to have seen more some more gameplay footage."
 
Steve H. – "This problem shows up for me every year with Sony; the amount of talking on stage rather than spending more time showing off the products. Luckily, Sony had a 2 hour window, so they were able to hit tons of content, but still, 5 minutes could have been cut from speaking to showcase another game. Overall though, this really wasn’t as huge an issue as previous years."
 
 
The Ugly
 
David S. - "I didn’t find one thing “ugly” about Sony’s press conference, but if I had to choose one thing it would have been all the montages that they showed. Not that they were bad, but it was just the fact that they showed so many different montages instead of focusing on some of their bigger titles."
 
Steve H. – "In all honesty, there was nothing Ugly for me in this conference. I believe the PS3 has the most diverse content in the console market, and Sony hit on all points in regards to their system. Well done."
 

They echo my sentiments quite well.  Lots of good content, but a good bit of filler that slows down the show and makes it somewhat boring.

Holy crap Jaffee...could this game mode be any more complex?

HA! I was thinking the same thing. I love car combat, but that is an extremely complicated premise to explain to everyone. The game is starting to take on a bit of Warhawk it seems. 


I don't think there is anywhere left to go with car combat as a standalone game. I mean, sandbox games already do have car combat, some of them pretty sweet combat (prototype).

I guess his thinking is that complex game modes = next gen car combat game

so does this mean this Twisted Metal game would be online/multiplayer only?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
