They showed a live demonstration of Killzone 3 in 3D in the Champaign mode. The level looked spectacular although I wasn’t able to see it in 3D. The level had snow flurries which I am positive will effect game play. Killzone 3 in 3D will be Available in Feb 2011.
The second 3D video shown at the Sony spotlight at E3 was a advertisement for various Sony products including Dual Shock 3 controllers, PSPs, Move controllers, PS3s, games and a pair of 3D glasses. The video then went into a long series of clips for multiple upcoming games for the Playstation 3. Including the upcoming Sly collection.
The Playstation move was one of the first things mentioned that consumers are looking forward to from Sony, nobody is sure how well it will succeed. It is too similar to the Wii mote which we already love. Many gamers are looking forward to role play games and actually being able to shoot a bow, and attack with a sword & magic. This might not be because of it being a superior product but just because the game play type people are looking for is not available yet on the Nintendo Wii. Not like Zelda perhaps but possibly a game like Elder Scrolls.
The demonstration that was given by the Move controller with the game Sorcery was really quite nice. Although the game elements have been done many times before hand the interactions between the player with the move controller was very accurate. I personally like the glowing ball though. It changes color which helps to identify what you’re doing in game. Still though, its glowing we love glowing things. Sorcery which was shown during the demonstration will be available Spring of 2011. The Playstation move controller will be released on September 15th in Europe, & September 19th in North America for a price tag of $49.99 the motion controller will be sold for 29.99. You will also be able to buy a bundle for $99 which includes the Playstation eye, a game, the Move controller and the motion controller. A new bundle with the console will be released as well.
The next demonstration they used the move for was for a PGA game and after seeing the controller used quickly it doesn’t seem to respond as quickly as Microsoft’s new movement toy. The controller will ship this upcoming Fall. So we’ll all be able to get our hands on the shiny little sticks.
They just announced a game for the move “Hero’s on the Move” Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxer, & Sly Cooper all joining together. How could that not be a good thing?
