Conferința a debutat cu un anunț, Andrew House fiind promovat din funcția de CEO și Președinte al Sony Computer Entertainment Europe la Sony Computer Entertainment International. Astfel, a fost prezentat noul CEO: Jim Ryan. Acesta a început să vorbească direct despre vita, și a rezumat din nou funcțiile consolei. A ales o metotdă destul de plictisitoare de a se face cunoscut.

După Ryan a urmat pe scenă Michael Deny, Senior VP la Sony Worldwide Studios. Acesta a prezentat patru jocuri pentru Vita, începând cu Resistance: Burning Skies. Deși din punct de vedere grafic mă așteptam la mai mult, jocul pare să fie adresat fanilor Resistance de pe PS3.

Little Big Planet a fost probabil cel mai impresionant, Sony prezentând un trailer prin care demonstrează posibilitățile noi pe care interfața touch și camera consolei le oferă în modul de creare al jocului. „Play. Create. Share. Everywhere” indeed.

Reality Fighters nu m-a impresionat cu nimic din punctul de vedere al unui joc de bătăi, însă din punct de vedere tehnic este interesant, folosind camera de pe spate pentru a proiecta luptele în lumea reală. Still, quite a lame game.

Surpriza a fost Escape Plan, un joc foarte asemănător cu Limbo din mai multe puncte de vedere care îi pune pe eroii Laarg și Lil într-o serie de camere periculoase, jucătorul trebuind să îi ajute să evadeze. Este probabil unul din titlurile pe care le-aș cumpăra odată cu noul Vita.

Un nou titlu Assassin’s Creed și FIFA 12, au fost confirmate pentru Vita, însă nu au fost prezentate pe scenă. Alături de acestea ni s-a amintit de alte serii consacrate care sunt destinate acestei platforme: Call of Duty, BioShock, Dungeon Hunter, Asphalt, Rayman și Virtua Tennis.

De asemenea, un nou model de PSP, intitulat E-1000 a fost prezentat la un preț inedit: 99 Euro. Noua consolă este compatibilă cu toate tilurile de PSP de până acum, însă nu dispune de conectivitate WiFi. Astfel, jocurile vor putea rula fie de pe UMD, fie de pe Memory Stick Pro Duo, dacă titlurile sunt cumpărate de pe PSN folosind un PC sau un PS3.

Următoarea secțiune a fost dedicată PlayStation Move, unde s-a confirmat suportul pentru această tehnologie în FIFA 13 și s-au anunțat două noi jocuri: Move Fitness și Dance Star Party.

Un nou trailer pentru Resistance 3 a debutat după aceea, împreună cu anunțul unui expansion standalone pentru inFAMOUS 2, foarte asemănător cu Undead Nightmare pentru Red Dead Redemption. Acesta se numește Festival of Blood și îl pune pe Cole McGrath în fața unui nou tip de inamici: vampirii.

Ultimele minute de demonstrații au fost dedicate lui Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception care nu mai avea nevoie de nicio prezentare. Jocul arată bine, se joacă bine și mai mult ca sigur va fi excelent.

Finalul conferinței a adus și cea mai importantă veste a zilei: consola PlayStation 3 se ieftinește, având acum un preț oficial de 249 de Euro.

• 1 x ModNation Racers Creation Kit (include ModNation Racers pentru PlayStation 3, un cod de download pentru ModNation Racers pentru PSP si o figurina cu un personaj din joc)

• 1 x Blazing Angels II pentru Xbox 360
