WHAT WE HEARD FROM SONY'S E3 CONFERENCE





So I happen to manage stay up all night and I have to admit the conference was all games and less talk this time. Only Shawn Layden and Andrew House appeared and possibly that's it. The conference lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes. So what without further ado. Let's recap what Sony has announced, and no, recently announced titles will:


A NEW GOD OF WAR TITLE:


Finally, Santa Monica Studio is making a brand new God of War game. But I have two questions, why does Kratos now have a son and wields an axe rather than his dual blades? Does it mean that the Greek Age has passed despite Kratos now having a beard. Compared to the older God of War games it turns out that Kratos is now much older than his usual look. I'm very interested what Sony Santa Monica is working on once this game finally releases soon.



NEW IP FROM BEND STUDIO: DAYS GONE:


So last few years ago, we heard that Bend Studio who recently made Uncharted Golden Abyss and a Uncharted card game for the PlayStation Vita is making the open-world survival game for the PlayStation 4 named Days Gone. The concept looked really interesting but it seems Sony also wants the taste of the open world gameplay as well. I'm not how this will turn out since they are so many open world survival games on next gen systems now.



CAPCOM REVEALS THE 7TH INSTALLMENT IN THE RESIDENT EVIL SERIES:


Capcom can't just stop milking the Resident Evil series can they. After receiving average reviews on Resident Evil 5 and 6 which do not focus on the horror aspects. They decided to refer back to the drawing board and work on a new sequel that doesn't involve going round and shoot everything that moves (looking at you Resi Evil 5), Capcom wanted to make the game much more darker than the other Resident Evil games. With it being a Resident Evil game, we may happen to see some familiar characters especially the Umbrella Corporation. Will the 7th installment be any better? You can play the exclusive demo right now if you have a PlayStation Plus membership.


CRASH BANDICOOT FINALLY RETURNS TO PLAYSTATION:


The orange Bandicoot finally returns to the fray after so many teases in many years. Many fans have been asking for it and what better way to celebrate his 20th Birthday. Sony and Activision are going to re-release the classic trilogy over to PS4. But who is going to develop it and which style are they using? On top of that, Crash will also be featured in the up coming Skylanders game as a guest character. I'm hoping to see more information later this year as well as a release date for the remastered collection. Good old Layden never lets anyone down. It's great to have you back again Crash.


KOJIMA-SAN WORKS ON A NEW IP:


Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions is currently working on a new IP which stars Norman Reedus called Death Stranding. The trailer looked really odd as we saw a man stranded on shore with dead fish and attached to the baby. The concept looked interesting and I'm looking forward to see what Hideo can come up with when the game comes out 1-2 years time.  



RATCHET & CLANK DEVELOPERS ARE MAKING A NEW SPIDER-MAN GAME:


Hold the phone. Insomniac Games is making a new MARVEL game rather than Activision/Beenox? That's a really great promise. Insomniac had been making great open-world platformers before such as Spyro for Universal, Ratchet & Clank for Sony and Sunset Overdrive for Microsoft. I'm looking forward to see what Insomniac can do with the Spider-Man license because recently, Spider-Man games that Beenox were been a bit average lately. No date yet unfortunately but it could be likely 2017.


PLAYSTATION VR AND RELEASE DATES:

Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that PlayStation VR will be out on October 13th 2016 and will cost $399 at launch. I do not have a confirmed launch title list as of yet but however. My most hyped game of all-time The Last Guardian has finally gotten a release date of October 25th 2016 which is now available to pre-order on the store. That's is all I got to share. Laters.
