Sony PS3 Highlights - E3 Press Conference
Once inside Sony studio 13, it was packed and well spaced studio it was set in a large thetre format. The
presentation was very, very good. The PS3 demos and movies they showed were excellent. They showed a demo of the new HD version of the Gran Tourismo 4 - it was unbelieveable. Other banging titles were Heavenly Sword (oh my god run out and pre-register-this game was like a female lead God of War type game). Then there was Eight Days - an exhilirating action-packed movie with incredible scenes and shootouts it was like Die hard the movie meets Grand Theft Auto the realism was astounding. Final Fantasy XIII, looked hot and Metal gear Solid 4 was really cool.

They also talked a bit about why they chose Blu-ray as their video standard vs. DVD. More on the blu-ray / dvd battle later. But these announcements were all pretty much expected (maybe not all the titles but some of the franchises were expected.) However, Sony really took it up a notch when they ran a video on the screen that started with a cargo box that read on it - "Don't Open til E3". Well, when the virtual Cargo box opened it showed the highlight of the evening, a new controller YES NEW and bad too. This controller has bluetooth meaning wireless and has 7 degrees of free flow movement. I tested a demo of this with a fighter jet, I never touched the joystick I just held the controller and moved it in the dirtection I wanted to move my jet. Point the controller down and the plane takes a sharp nose dive down - IT WAS AMAZING and is bringing a whole new style of gaming to the table - THIS like Nintendo WILL CHANGE the way we play and the games that are created. It was fun as heck to play, you just move your hand and it moves the (hmmm did they get this from Nintend0?, will Xbox follow?)
We'll let you know we are going to Nintendo tomorrow morning and to Microsoft after that. We'll get the scoop before mainstream media and fill you in.
