Sony E3 2009 Press Conference

Since I only have the PS3 and PSP, I was just interested in the Sony conference. Sony's press conference took 2 hours long, while Microsoft's and Nintendo's were only 1 hour each. So what's up for Sony? Lots of things.

Sony announced lots of games and new products - such as the PSP-Go and a new motion sensing controller (like that of Wii).

So what's the difference with the old PSP? Well aside from the design, this PSP is for the digital user. They removed the UMD drive thus leaving you with only downloadable content. This will available in October 1, 2009 for $249.99.
Although Sony's new motion-sensing controller is a rip-off of Wii's remote, it plays much better. If you watch the video below you will see you can do more things with it.

As for games, lots of demos were shown at the conference - Assassin's Creed II, God of War III, Uncharted 2 and ModNation Racing just to name a few.

I tell you, God of War III is amazing! The gameplay's still the same but it looks way better than the previous ones. GoW III will be the final chapter for Kratos. On the other hand, Assassin's Creed looked promising. Despite the fact that the AC1 was disappointing, I think that this sequel will be great. By the way, Altair is not here anymore.

To end this post, here's the complete video of Sony's press conference from G4.
