Sony's press conference

1) Killzone 3. Demo is shown in 3D and there's a lot of jetpack action. Use it in quick bursts to give yourself life then glide to the ground. Another demo is shown where you're commanding a turret on some kind of gunship. PlayStation Move capability at launch, more about that in the coming months. February 2011.

Motorstorm Apocalypse, The Sly Collection, Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 3 all in 3D. Crysis 2, Mortal Kombat, ShaunWhite snowboarding, Tran Evoluion, NBA 2K11 and plenty more also to take control of Move and 3D in some way or another.

2) Sorcery. Using the Move to cast spells. Flick your wrist at any position to change how it's cast. He selects a potion and shakes the Move to activate the the potion before he drinks it. The demo seemed really responsive and I couldn't see any lag whatsoever. Spring 2011.

3) Tiger Woods. 1-1 motion makes for a near real life experience. First swing he digs the club into the ground, but from there on everything works pretty flawlessly. An update to the game will allow Move functionality when it ships later this fall.

4) Heroes on the Move. Jak, Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet, Clank and Bently all together in what looks like an action game.

5) PlayStation Move. Europe September 15th, North America September 19th and Japan on October 21.$49.99 if you have the Playstation Eye and a PS3. Navigation controller = $29.99. Bundle w/ Eye, navigation controller and Move = $99.99. PS3 Bundle w/ everything = $399.99.

6) Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, InviZimals and God of War: Ghosts of Sparta stated for PSP along with others.

7) Little Big Planet 2. A few mini games are shown including a 'don't touch the edge' type game where you must try and push your enemies into the edge of the circle while using a boost option. The editor gives you a ton of features and they show a racing game, a shooter game and a real-time strategy game.

8) PlayStation Plus. Options to expand and enhance their experience. Digital content, early demos/betas, PlayStation Network games and themes. This expands the (free) PlayStation Network to users who pay $49.99 a year.

9) 2 titles with exclusive content to the PS3:
-Medal of Honor.
-Dead Space 2 + Dead Space: Extraction w/ Move support.

10) Portal 2. Gabe Newell comes out to announce Portal 2 for PS3! With Steam support (automatic updates and such) he says the PS3 version of Portal 2 will be the best of any console. Summer 2011.

11) Final Fantasy XIV. The MMO has a quick trailer to show off some beautiful cutscenes.

12) Mafia II. Exclusive day one content only on PS3.

13) Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. More exclusive content and multiplayer beta only on PS3.

14) Gran Turismo 5. We've seen this game plenty of times now and it looks better and better each time. We saw an actual release date for the game! Will also support 3D. November 2, 2010.

15) Infamous 2. Announcement trailer complete with ice powers. 2011.

16) Twisted Metal. Exclusively to PS3 in 2011. Back with all new helicopters, what looks like Grim Reaper throwing a chainsaw and someone sniping out of a window. Deathmatch and Nuke gametypes shown off. Nuke is basically capture the flag bringing the enemy leader back to your base and holding him in your capture area for a set amount of time. Once you hit that time limit a missle is launched that you must direct into the enemies statue without helicopters shooting it down. First to 3 wins.

Overall, the PlayStation Move looks really exciting and it played pretty flawlessly. Steam coming out on PS3 is also pretty exciting and I wonder if that means more Steam games will eventually move their way over to the PS3. I've never really been a fan of motion control games but maybe getting some hands on play with one of them will change my mind on the subject. I haven't really been excited for Twisted Metal since the first one so hopefully the new one will change things up a bit.
