I'm just gonna quickly list all the important new bits from Ninty ans Sony's new conferences.
The most important new bits from Sony:
1. There's a new PS-branded TV coming out. It's 24 inches, comes with Resistance 3, and includes a feature that allows people to see two different images on the same screen. Say goodbye to screen-peeking!
2. Bioshock Infinite has Move support, and will come with the original Bioshock free on PS3.
3. the God of War: Origins collection will include HD remastered versions of the two PSP god of war games, as well as 3D support. Same for SOTC and Ico collections.
4. Sly Cooper: Thieves Across Time is confirmed. Yay, wewt, etc.
5. Dust 514, a MAG-like FPS from the devs of EVE Online, will be directly connected to the economy and world of EVE. How, we don't know yet, but it has a helluvalotta potential. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
6. New, dowloadable, PS exclusive Star Trek third-person shooters for PS3.
7. SSX has PS-exclusive stuff- what it is, we don't know.
8. The PSVita is the new name of the NGP. Sounds like a saltine cracker. :P But it will come in two flavors- Wifi only for 250$, or WiFi+3G (AT&T) for 300$. Boos and hisses emanated from the crowd at this point. Apparently, nobody likes AT&T.Buuut, at least Nintendo will have some serious competition this holiday season, which is when the Vita comes out.
9. Bunch of new Vita games. Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Street Fighter X Tekken, Ruin (an action RPG), Modnation Racers, and LittleBigPlanet: Fingerprint (that's not actually the title, but it had a fingerprint on the logo) were given a stage demo, and Ken Levine announced a Bioshock for Vita.
10. SFXT will have Cole as a playable character. :P Obviously, that's PS exclusive.
Well, that's all. This conference, frankly, made Microsoft look like Nintendo, circa 2008.
But Nintendo, on the other hand...
1. Bunch of Legend of Zelda-25th aniversary stuff. CDs, concerts, you name it.
2. Free LOZ 4 Swords on DSI ware this fall.
3. Link's Awakening on Virtual console by the end of the week.
4. The new Kid Icarus will have 3 on 3 multiplayer.
5. LUIGI'S MANSION 2!
6. The Project CAfe is now the Wii U. It's got a huge tablet controller with a 6 inch screen, dual analogs, and everything. Front-facing cameras as well.
7. New smash bros for 3DS and Wii U, but no details as of yet.
8. Ghost Recon: Online, New Assassin's Creed, Darksiders 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, Metro: Last Light, other games which I can't remember, and hopefully a new Zelda for Wii U. Plenty of blood in the NG3 trailer. Nintendo has grown up. Kinda.
There's probably more, but I'm typing pretty quick here, and I just finished watching the press conferences. So there.
-Wabbit out!
