what's up internet kevin here with tech foot sumption dinner bringing you a recap of the events at the sony press conference today at e3 now things started off really rough it actually began with a 20 minute apology regarding the PSN outage which while it was nice that they did apologize for the event it was a little unnecessary to go on as long as they did and then turning into an entire sales feel to about how you know Oh we'll make it up to a no will prove you how this year will be the biggest and best gaming company ever and we still had the best numbers last year even though the PSN outage was terrible part for our marketing department after that however they did start getting into a lot of gameplay clips mostly we were seeing just a lot of stuff on games you already know about more gameplay footage of uncharted resistance 3 there are a few new games announced such as a new Sly Cooper title a Star Trek co-op adventure game that looked all right may be good and don't really know much just from what little trailers we've seen so far and then Sony proceeded to go on to sort of a ramp that was very akin to actually their ethroo conference last year there was a very big talk about the playstation 3 move as well as watching stuff in 3d they talked a lot about what games are going to use the move or will be moved compatible for instance games like BioShock Infinite are being developed to be able to use with the ps3 move on the Sony console 3d games were pushed a lot they actually even advertised and announced a TV during the show but the reason was because the TV was packaged with a game 3d glasses and was actually meant for gaming it was actually a five-hundred-dollar whole set for a 24 inch monitor video game cables and 3d glasses which was actually kind of cool announcement if not a little out of key for a 3d announcement well there were a great number of announcements going on it did feel kind of drowning and slow and didn't really wow me very much personally but then they did bust out the big guns of this year which is the PS Vita which is the official name of the new NGP not only does it really look great they showed a couple different games on it a charted game for it an action RPG called ruin modnation racers and a little big planet for it all of them looked really good on it it actually looked delighted handled a lot like a DS but with two analog sticks instead of just one and the touchscreen worked really well with it the biggest prize however about the Vita is the fact that it's only 240 999 for the normal one there's two versions a Wi-Fi version that just works as normal Wi-Fi in your house and then for fifty dollars more you can get a 3g version with AT&T so that you can play games anywhere it was pretty surprising how cheap it is I mean considering the fact that Nintendo's 3ds is the same price as the basic Wi-Fi one for how good the technology is it looks like they're probably going to be losing a lot of money on each sale which means they're really banking on not only the console selling but a lot of people buying their games for that price it's very surprising and I think it actually could end up working in their favor as long as they get a decent launch title list going on what few ones they showed right now such as uncharted in littlebigplanet while interesting none of them were massive Wow titles that I think pulled a lot of people in instantly looks like it will be at least solid but I'm really hoping to see some stronger launch titles from them if they're hoping to completely overtake a nintendo in the portable market which looks like the beetham might actually be able to do which count me off guard a lot overall the Sony conference wasn't its best it started off slow most of the game announced in sport very good but the Vita definitely saved them they definitely needed one upping Microsoft if only because the Vita ended being much better than a lot of people expected I'm really looking forward now to see what Nintendo has to do to see if maybe they can one-up disowning even more with their new console hopefully we'll see some interesting new games being announced tomorrow I'll let you guys know more once we watch that conference i'll give you a recap tomorrow morning till then i'm kevin for TLD thanks for watching you
