Starting at 2AM this morning UK time, many of our European readers may have decided that sleep was more important than watching Sony’s press conference live. For those of you who did retire, Sony normally make the conference available to download from the PSN Store at some point.
It’s watchable on YouTube now though, broken into three handy segments for you to enjoy at your leisure. To save you a couple of extra clicks here are those easily digestible segments:
The US Blog team also did a few after-show interviews which you can find in the video below.

Wonderbook was pretty stupid looking, but not being a child I’m probably not the one to judge it’s appeal.
Other than that, pretty solid stuff with a definite focus on games before gimmicks and non-gaming rubbish, and from what I understand there were a lot of new titles they didn’t even mention during the conference. The opening montage had at least 4 or 5 titles I hadn’t seen before alone.
This year it really was a two game E3 for Last of Us and Watch Dogs. Nothing else came close.

Actually Wonderbook looks like it may be moves killer app? I’m pretty ancient & even I saw the possibilities for entertainment, anything that helps get kids reading books & firing up an imagination must be worth a shot? Remember it isn’t aimed at the 20 something single person market, its aimed at parents of young kids.
Btw, I did stay up to watch this last night & with only a few freezes on my phone. Just wish Sony hadn’t used Andy House, guy has nil personality lol

Relying on ageing third party games to support the Vita may not go down so well. Liberation looks decent but who knows what COD Vita will be like. Best announcement was Beyond and the catalogue of free games for PS+ which will entice a horde of subscriptions within the next week. Slightly better than Xbox because of the games focus yet the Xbox smartglass looks nifty. Why has Sony with its devices not done this before when it could have done a few years ago and not show a tech demo of PS Mobile?
Last Of Us was excellent, a survival horror set in post apocalyptic world like I am Legend. Tomb Raider looked every bit on par with Uncharted though Splinter Cell is not the series it once was. Sam Fisher, you will never surpass Solid Snake.

This was great however didn’t like how long they pushed wonderbook for. But ending on The Last of Us was brilliant!
