Sony's E3 Press Conference

Sony's Jack Tretton came out onto the stage, discussing the stage he is standing on as a stage that has shared many many things. He also talked about the history of Sony from the beginning as of wether or not to green light the first Playstation Console, and where they stand now today.

Tretton went on to explain that the Playstation and Playstation 2 took several years to build up huge hits, and are consoles that stood around for many years. The playstation 2 pretty much was a 10 year plan. Also going on to talk about the Playstation 3 and how it won out because of it's advantage of having a blu-ray drive built into it, because Blu-ray won out over HD-DvD.

Tretton also went on to discuss how the 2008 year is all about Software, and exclusive content, both downloadable, and just basic games as well. "While exclusive DLC is nice, exclusive games are what make up consumer's minds." He said.

Showing Resistance 2, which in my view is a game that looks absolutely beautiful, and I never bought the first one, so I might have to check it out so I can get into the story. The graphics are beautiful, and the video shown had a huge I am talking like 20 stories high monster that seemed to be thrashing about a city that looked like New York. The video also showed the main character running from the monster, going from one building to another until the creature picks up the character and actually throws him, through a window and it just looked beautiful. Resistance 1 and 2 was developed by Insomniac games.
