Sony E3 Press Conference – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Page 3

click to view larger imagePSP Go price point - $250 US Sony? Really? Fifty bucks more then the PSP 3000 is just criminal and will hurt the adoption rate. This needs to be normalized.

GT PSP is ad-hoc only – What year is it? Pokemon on the DS has been doing infrastructure for years. I need to find friends locally with GT PSP to trade cars? Fail!

ModNations Racer – I don’t know why but this generated no excitement for me. If the racing approaches Crash Team Racing (the original) or Mario Kart fun levels, it could be great. So far, it looks more gimmick then game.

The Ugly

click to view larger imagePS3 Motion Controller looks like a sex toy – A small cylinder with a rounded ball on the top? looks like something that involves naughty play. I can just imagine all the mock ups and game ideas we will see in the near future.

LBP reveal is more costumes – Come on Media Molecule, we already know about LBP PSP, show us the new level packs already.

No video streaming and no Canada support – Sony, Sony, Sony…You need to move with the times. Video needs to be on demand and you need to support your neighbors. Canada is consistently shut out for content like this and should be added to the list able to access it, but only if you enable streaming.

No MGS Raiden presentation – I imagine money was involved but I was really disappointed there was no further MGS Raiden reveal at the Sony conference. It is coming out across all platforms at the same time so Sony should have shown it.

Sony’s refusal to use other media cards – Why Sony? Why? Your PS3 supports everything; MicroSD is cheaper and comes in larger sizes. This should have been in the PSP Go from the start to give more options.

    Glad to see so many games. My PS3 blu-ray to game ratio is about 100 to 1, would be nice to see that change.

    Yes! Sony is coming out with a UMD exchange program of some type for the PSP Go!

    I honestly thought the ModNation Racers was one of the highlights for the show.
