Sony's E3 press conference #1

I've finally watched sony's E3 press conference 2012 and i've left feeling proud to be a gamer, the line-up of games the way they presented and how they presented them was amazing. whoever you may be, be proud that you're part of an organisation called gaming.

As with sony and the playstation platform they've got tons and tons of money at their disposable and you can really tell, they've really gone out this year. Sony have always had a big massive open stage with massive amounts of space to move around for the CEO Jack Tretton and the other major assets to developers.

First thing that you could tell with playstation that they wanted ephaisis on the past of gaming and remembering where they started and how they wanted to innovate the future of gaming as we know it, Sony started off the press conference with a video reel showing the different stages of sony's timeline in cronological order, showing off their biggest innovations like eyetoy. This really set the scene for the rest of the conference and it was always on my mind that they were concentrating on the future.

Remember the Kevin Butler speech from the 2010 E3 press conference, as soon as he walked on the stage he got a massive applause and i'm not just talking when he entered the stage, i'm talking about when he exited the stage, he got a huge massive uproar and he literally lifted the entire stage off their feet. After kevin butlers speech, it actually gave me goosebumps on my skin and from then on, i've always been proud to be a gamer and i think Sony were trying to portray that message again in this years E3 press conference.

We all know the Sony exclusive Heavy Rain the Dramatic story featuring different storys from 4 different characters all being linked together told in a traditional story with the addition of quick time events, you have the ability to change the story to the way that you like it. well Quantic dream's new PS3 epic called Beyond Two souls:

Beyond Two souls is a dramatic and thrilling story following a life of a young girl who's been followed by a ghost or a ghost like entity and it's mainly the young woman's subconsious. we are all aware of what happens in life but when it comes to the afterlife we are clueless of what it like. The young woman is being played by Ellen Page who comes from films like Juno and her amazing role in Inception. From what was gathered from the talks after the gameplay footage was shown, it seems like it's not going to be a linear storyline and you can choose who the story pans out.
