Sony makes waves at gamescon

To me games con had better anouncements than E3. Let me list some of the key announcements that relate to the PS3.

Resistance 3 officially announced for 2011 with teaser trailer
2 new PS3 sku's announced: 160 gig and 320 gig as well as a possible price drop
Cole getting his old look back for Infamous 2
A new Ratchet & Clank game called All 4 One announced for fall 2011
And the biggest news of all..... Mass effect 2 going to PS3 with extra DLC

360 may have got a wannabe Metal gear game and some new multiplat from insomniac but ps3 getting mass effect!? and portal 2? Also, there are rumours that the Left for Dead series is aslo going multiplatform.... as i said before 1st party studios are where its at, now all microsoft has is Bungie... hope all you 360 boys enjoy your washed up handfull of halo titles.

Finally people are seeing the flaws in "kinect"

Im not much of a fan of any motion peripheral but the spot on accuracy of ps3's move and integration into more hardcore games has my attention. Another thing that is getting many peoples attention is the many problems surfacing already about Microsofts kinect. My 1st problem with it is the fact that there are no controllers.... i do not see this working well for any kind of hardcore titles. Secondly, its apparent lag. Third, it apparently wont work sitting down for most applications! Gamers want to sit and play games! Not stand up! Now i here that you have to dress certain ways for the camera to recognize your movements! A woman tried to play one of the games and it didnt work properly due to her wearing a long skirt that made kinect not be able to recognize her legs, talk about pathetic.

InFamous 2 E3 trailer

InFamous was one of my favorite new IP's this gen and when i heard they were making the 2nd i new it would be a must buy for me. They have redesigned Cole's look and got a new voice actor which i cant say im thrilled about but the new powers and revamped gameplay should make up for it. Check out the trailer.

E3 Keynotes, Sony definately outshined Microsoft

Well there were many announcemants from both camps this year and ill admit most years Microsoft steals the show by announcing a stolen exclusive from Sony but this year the tides have turned. In a nut shell ill list the key notes from each company's press conference.

Microsoft
This year microsoft showed many things that were just rehashes of last year. Heres a list in a nut shell.

Games: Halo Reach, Fable 3, Crackdown 2, Metal Gear solid Rising, etc...
Slim 360 with 250 gig hd, wifi(finally) for 299$

Kinect...... stupid

Sony
Alot of 3d gaming

Move priced, normal controller 49.99$, accessory controller 29.99$ bundled with slim PS3 399$

Premium PSN plus keeping free component

Games: Little Big Planet 2, Killzone 3(with 3d and move support), Infamous 2, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Realease date of Gran Turismo of Nov 2nd(finally; and with 3d support), Final Fantasy 14, Exclusive PS3 contnent for Mafia 2, Exlusive PS3 content and PS3 only beta for Assassins Creed Brotherhood, and one that i have been calling for months Twisted Metal for PS3, but the biggest surprise game they showed was from none other than valve in Portal 2 and announcing that its lead platform for developement will be the PS3.

So as you can see sony definatley locked down E3 with the most game announcements and alot of 3d support. Games sell systems and now Sony definately has the most 1st party exclusives and is now locking down the 3rd party by brining valve out of there xbox shell and getting a ton of exclusive content for 3rd party multplat titles.

Keeping the trailer posts rollin with Fallout new vegas, Dead Space 2, and Star Wars:TFU 2

Fallout 3 is still one of my favorite games this gen and with the information pouring in about the newest edition in the series Fallout: New Vegas dropping Oct. 9th the excitement is only growing. Dead Sapce was another one of my favorite new IP's this gen and with a 2011 release for Dead Space 2 coming Jan. 25th you can mark your calenders. Last on the list is Star Wars TFU 2. The first one was a great addition to the star wars gaming library and the second looks to one up it releasing Oct. 26th. Check out these recent railers of Fallout and Dead Space 2 and the E3 trailer for Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2.

New Killzone 3 trailer looks sick

We have been getting alot of info out of Sony lately just weeks before E3 and some are wondering if they will have anything left to even show off. Just last nite on Gametrailers they showed off a sick trailer for Killzone 3, check it out.
