Sony's E3 2007 keynote

[_skitzo_]

We start with Mr. Jack Tretton in Home, he shows around Home, as he says "we're squeezing over 50 titles. Into this presentation."
(The Home client can run on a mobile phone!)

Showing PSP titles: Socom: US navy Seals tacitical strike, Wipeout Pulse, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, NBA 08, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Silent Hill Origins, Patapon, tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, Sonic Rivals 2, SWAT: Target Libterty, Final Fanrtasy Tactics: War of the Lions,Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles.
In total there are more than 140 games coming to PSP in North America.

Kaz comes out with the newest version of the PSP, which will be available in September. It's not too different, it still has UMD and the same screen, but once you have it in your hand, youll see the difference. It's 33% lighter, 19% slimmer, and the battery is much improved."
It can also output high quality video. You could hook it up to your Bravia HDTV, so everyone can only your PSP.

The PSP comes in piano black, but it also comes in Ice Silver.

Next Chewbacca enters stage right to the score of star Wars. Wookie banter fills the auditorium. He's holding a star Wars -themed PSP and pPromoting the Star Wars Battlefront pack, includes white PSP with Darth Vader's image on the back.

In eye-blistering 1080p and 60fps is Wipeout HD; the next one is Pain; the third is the online combat games par excellence, WarHawk; and Socom: US Navy Seals Confrontation.

SOCOM Confrontation is Socom's first appearance on the next generation. The game is purchased online, and downloaded to your HD. As a result, the game runs purely off of your HD. It will be on Bluray and in the PS Store this holiday season.

Jack crunching numbers on the great HD DVD versus Blu-ray wars of '06 and '07. We're totally convinced that Blu-ray was the right way to go, and the message is more than getting home to consumers. Blu-ray dvd discs are enjoying a sales figure of more than two to one over HD-DVD, including the Blu-ray drive in the PS3 helps make the console future-proof.

NCSoft will be joining the PlayStation camp. You probably know them from Lineage, City of Heroes, and Guild Wars. Very soon, they'll be brining that to the PS3 exclusively."

Sony has managed to nab exclusivity to NCSoft's online games, based on current and new IPs. "Only the PSN can support the types of games NCSoft has become famous for."

"From a new addition, to a lifelong member .. Ubisoft. This fall they'll be bringing a new title to the PS3 .. Haze.

Haze as a PS3 exclusive." If you want to play Haze this holiday, you'll need to do it on PlayStation 3 first. That answers that little exclusivity mystery.

Sony has signed a multi-part agreement with Midway and Epic, and we're working closely with Epic to adjust the Unreal engine to the PS3 to use it to the best of its potential." First stage: working with Epic to optimize the Unreal engine for the PlayStation 3. Unreal Tournament III confirmed as PS3 exclusive this year. You'll also be able to share mods between the PC and PS3 platforms.

Like Microsoft last night, Sony is showing off Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Assasin's Creed (we love that Unkle trailer. Seriously, just play it one more time for us Sony). Also, like Microsft (but a little more in depth) a look at Kane and Lynch Dead Men, a game we're still pretty in the dark about. Again, just like Microsoft, we've got Resident Evil 5.
Burnout 5 Paradise, Madden NFL 08, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Videogame, The Simpsons Game, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Medal of Honor: Airborne and Rock Band
"There's one last third party exclusive I'd like to share ... this franchise has been a fixture on our consoles since the beginning, and it's only on PLayStation 3. Ladies and gentelemen, Hideo Kojima." Hideo Kojima takes the stage. (That took care of that rumor)

Metal Gear, known as a stealth game, is celebrating it's 20th anniversary come July (Yes the trailer was amazing!)

Suckerpunch, the Sly Cooper developers. It's a sandbox game, where you choose the path between superhero and antihero: Infamous. This appears to be in engine, and it looks very impressive. With the character climbing walls, using superpowers, we're thinking Crackdown meets Assassin's Creed meets Grand Theft Auto meets City of Heroes.



Phil: "Oh yes, everything you're about to see if real time." ... The Killzone 2 trailer!


Sony's Grade A+
Why did I take more time to add content to Sony then MS or Nintendo? Simple, Sony showed off games! New games! New trailers! and GAMES!
This was fresh, and far more energetic then MS and Nintendo!
From Haze to Metal Gear and echochrome, KillZone .... Sony came out balls out, nothing to lose! and they did!

The only bad thing, another PSP, but at lest they didn't spent to much time on it!

With Home, and killer line up of games, Sony has people talking again!
