The show dragged a bit (Sony's shows are always too talky) and there wasn't enough Starhawk footage (only a tiny glimpse of space combat, but it did reveal that there will be some massive battleships). For me the two standouts were Uncharted 3 and Littlebigplanet PSP.

Its odd that there was no word on Sorcery and that a very similar Move title was shown (Medieval Move). Still, I like how developers are throwing support for Move into core games where it makes sense such as shooters and real time strategies (I don't know if Move brings anything to the table for b-ball games, but 2K seems to think it does).

Well overall that was a really good conference. Loved the Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3 stuff. Infamous 2 was cool but I wasn't as thrilled with the demo as I'd thought I'd be. Some cool bonuses for a couple of multiplatform games thanks to extra disc space. Street Fighter X Tekken was a nice surprise for the PSVita but I'll just likely stick with the home console version. I liked the price of the PSVita. The system looks very cool with a bunch of neat features. Some good Move stuff shown.

I'd rank this as a very close second to Microsoft's conference.

I think Sony just doesn;t know how to make a fun show. MS had a terrible show but it moved fast and was fun from start to finish (unintionally at times). We dont need to see Ruin and Modnation racers. We need to see Killzone NGP and Resistance. We saw it running realtime four months ago. Where is it?

We dont need to see NBA2k Move. We need to see Sorcery. it was supposed to be out by now. Where is it?

Of course, not showing The Agent, The Last Guardian is just plain criminal. They announced those games THREE E3s ago.

No God of War 4 is also disappointing. SSM have been working on it for over a year now. They put out a badass GoW2 demo in the same amount of time, so why not God Of War 4? Heavy Rain sequel was probably expecting a bit too much but no Journey and God of War is just insane.

Well they didn't show ModNation Racers for the game, they showed it to demonstrate how the tilt, touchscreen, etc. can be used to speed things up in an editor. Pretty much showing practical uses of the new features.

For me, the coolest thing was the TV using 3D tech to do away with splitscreen. That could be such a cool thing if it catches on.

For me, it was the $499 price tag. I love how the glasses are included. I went to Bestbuy the other day. Badass 3DTV for $1500. Glasses NOT included. Not even the first pair. I was like wtf?

That was pretty badass. I want to buy a new PC monitor and this looks amazing, but not for 499. Unless I can get it without Resistance or something for a cheaper price. I think Vita will kill in Japan, and if its anything like the PSP, it will have a boat load of JRPGs but now with great graphics. I wonder if that will impact PS4s Japan support which I expect in 2013. They are talking a lot about PS3 > PSV connectivity so it seems like PS4 is a few years out, but I'm sure it will connect with Vita just as well.

Oh yeah I forgot about that TV they showed. Very cool and only $499 with the glasses, Resistance 3, and cable. Not bad at all.

For me, the coolest thing was the Uncharted 3 trailer and game play demonstration (Naughty Dog knows what I like better than I do), but the TV was nice too.

Connectivity between home and portable consoles seems like the next big thing for the industry, Sony especially. I betcha everyone (well, maybe not microsoft; they'd have to make a dedicated portable system of their own first) will have some sort of means of doing that sometime within the next couple of console generations.

I think Starhawk will be my goto MP game when it comes out. Honestly, I'm way more interested in it than Battlefield 3 or whatever else. Can't wait to see some space battles. I know Carnage and Solid will be all over it.

Kojima's new Fox Engine supports PC/360/PS3 AND the NGP.

BF3 will be my goto multiplayer this winter, but I will be all over Starhawk when it comes out next year.

The build and play system looks phenomenal. Warhawks to Mech transformations are just glorious. Love the new warthogs too.

God of War Origins trailer.

I'll have to get that and the Ueda collection one day, but likely not day one, but on sale later on. I mean it's getting to be a time issue, especially later in the year.

Also odd is that they didn't show this winter's Ratchet game at all (with the 4-player co-op).

Dark Souls isn't PS3-exclusive.

That plus I believe the director mentioned that they had delays working on the online portion of the game due to PSN going boom.

Indeed. I thought they would have made that one of the centerpieces of the conference. Guess they're banking more on Resistance for fall.

Pretty solid. There weren't any big surprises, outside of the PS Vita pricing, but they showed off a ton of games. In the end, I came away excited about Sly Cooper 4 and the fact that the Ico/Shadow HD Collection is coming out in September. The conference could have used a big surprise at the end.

Yeah I wish they could separate the portable and console conferences, always hated the PSP for taking up time at E3 lol.

EDIT: Forgot to mention -- new PixelJunk game was announced. It's called PixelJunk Sidescroller. Looks strikingly similar to PixelJunk Shooter.

This one was also strangely absent...

Guess they figured the announcement was enough. Seems odd not to show a trailer for something as big as God of War, though.

It does seem much more appealing now. Not sure I'll pick it though, at least for now because I don't do much gaming on the go these days.

250 Euro is £222 pounds as of right now, which is very good I think. I'd better start saving though. Considering that's just the R.R.P too I expect it to be available for cheaper in sales and the like. :)

Yeah alot of supermarkets and game retailers will have alot of good deals once release date rolls around, at one point you could buy the 3DS for £150 providing you spent over £50 on your shopping xD

I'm a sucker for cell shaded games. Gravity looks like it could be pretty cool. It is from the Siren team.

Prepare yourself for a new perspective in gaming in this visually stunning cel-shaded adventure. Take gravity into your own hands as you take the role of a heroine seeking her past and the means to protect her future in a world that's falling apart. Shift from streets to walls and buildings as you manipulate gravity to save a city from its enemies and perils.

I know that Amazon is taking pre-orders for it already. Sadly I don't think I'll be able to afford it on student loans. I want to get it at launch, but I don't know how realistic that is.

Oh Sony...you could have showed Gravity instead of some of the crap you had on stage. Not interested in that streaming list either (Journey and Uncharted media blackout, Infamous 2 im about to play). I wish they had Twisted metal and Starhawk playing.

Yeah, I have been watching it. It looks pretty cool. I like the mixture of different genres they have in place.
