Sony Sony Sony. Your show was lame. It was too long and not all that interesting. You spent the beginning of the show gassing up 3D technology that's coming soon. That's cool, but you could have answered this simple question. Do I need a 3D television to get the 3D effect from the video games? If I do then no wonder why the PS3 is still in last place. I'm playing games from my 19" LCD monitor that I've had since 2005. I don't have an extra $2000 lying around to buy a brand new 3D TV. Don't you know it's a recession? It would be amazing to play a game like Killzone 3 in 3D with the PlayStation Move, but it's looking like something for people with a lot of time and money on their hands.
The presentation for the PlayStation Move did not inspire me to want to purchase it. That Sorcery game looked repetitive while it was being demoed. I swing my arms to do some sort of magic trick to kill enemies... No thanks. That Harry Potter knockoff can sit down as far as I'm concerned. I had the opportunity to use the PlayStation Move back in March, and I was not impressed. It's clear that Sony is after that Nintendo Wii customer base. None of the games presented on the PlayStation Move seem original. There's the party games, the sports games, and the shooters. I will say Resident Evil 4 blew me away on the Wii, so I bet Resident Evil 5 will be a lot more fun with the PlayStation Move due to the graphics and co-op.
During the show everybody at Sony kept talking about Kevin Butler. The spokesperson for Sony for the past year. They kept mentioning how he wasn't there and blah blah blah. Then they mentioned their sponsorship with Coca Cola, and that's when Kevin Butler showed up. He was definitely the highlight of the show. He started his segment with a joke about the Cirque du Soleil show for Microsoft's Kinect before going on about how everybody who plays video games is a gamer. We already knew that Jerry. He also took the time to introduce Marcus the new spokesperson for the PSP. Besides the "Step your game up" marketing campaign, the PSP had a horrible show. While Nintendo is introducing a new portable hardware system with the 3DS, Sony's promising 70 new PSP titles by the fall. That's it? No new PSP, price cut, or games that I care about. Next.
Like I said earlier Sony's show was way too long. It was over 2 hours while the other 2 kept theirs to about an hour and a half. I had to leave my laptop to get food. Before I left they were talking about PlayStation Plus the $50 subscription service to the PlayStation Network. They promise exclusive things such as games and trailers, but didn't mention anything about a faster connection. I think I missed a trailer for Infamous 2 and nothing too important since nobody's going crazy. When I came back an Ice Cream truck driven by a clown was on stage. Twisted Metal is back. The demo looked chaotic. I was a little confused as to what the demo was trying to accomplish, but I think it was showing off a new multiplayer mode. For the sake of the fond memories I have of the series, I'll say welcome back Twisted Metal. I hope you still have what it takes.
