E3 2009: Sony Press Conference

Sony's Press Conference really delivered some surprises though where spoiled prior to their presentation.  My favorites where the following 3...

1. Final Fantasy XIV Online was revealed even before the release of Final Fantasy XIII.  This looks to be the successor to Final Fantasy XI.  They showed a CG trailer but no in game trailers just of yet.  The classes seems to be the likes of it's predecessor.  I just hope it wasn't as slow as it was.  I am a hardcore FF fan and forced myself to play XI and I enjoyed it presonally.  But with my other gamer friends playing the game, they didn't have the same sentiments.  Lets all hope that this one will make it big.  Let's give Square, the best RPG makers in my opinion, another chanced in the MMORPG realm.

2.  ICO's creator Fumito Ueda finally reveals its new nexgen game The Last Guardian codenamed Trico.  I love this team because they are not pressured and will not be pressured to a release date.  They concentrate on the quality of the game and will put their full power and creative knowledge and know how to make it the best game and they have done this with ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.  And now Last Guardian, looking just as stunning and incredibly amazing.  The best graphics in a game I have seen up to date.  The feathers on the creature was staggering.  Each feather moved in its own physics and the game play and the kid was just awesome.  The music really give an epic feel to the whole presentation.  This will surely live up to its reputation no doubt about it.

3.  God of War III was the closer of the whole conference.  Looking ever so stunning and everything that the series has been made famous.  Showing Harpies, Chimeras and giants, the demo had to be cut short because of time.  God of War will surely live up to the expectations of God of War fans everywhere.

That was it with Sony.  I expected it to be dull and short of expectations for Sony fanboys because of the bombs of Microsoft with the Kojima surprise and the introduction of Project Natal but they didn't let that stand in Sony's way.  They have surely delivered.

That's it, Sony is coming back!
