We are finishing this review of the most anticipated of the three main companies in the sector with the post corresponding to Sony . Last year it was one of the big losers of the fair, as it lost important exclusives such as ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ and did not present any notable novelty that caused a furor.
For this E3 2009 Sony must put much more batteries than up to now , because time and resources are running out and it can not close the gap to Xbox 360. Sony has to inject a revulsive, a megaton of considerable proportions so that its consoles are They sell, developers are relying on their capabilities and quality games overflow on store shelves for people to buy.
Against this background, Sony should make many of the rumors that have been haunting it for a long time come true. The PSP Go is already a reality yet to be officially confirmed, the PS3 Slim promises to be a true marvel for the temptation of the doubtful buyer and the possibilities of its catalog, come and to come , are some of the great assets of Sony for this E3 2009 . Let’s see them.
Hold on because Sony is going to give everything for everything in this E3 2009. The first of the great balls that they had reserved was discovered yesterday. The new PSP Go is now a reality and it only remains for Sony to present it officially next Tuesday from 8:00 p.m. on the peninsula. A new concept of portable console that will coexist with the classic PSP-3000 and that we will surely talk about it a lot in the coming times.
But the thing does not stop there since the PS3 Slim is another reality that has not yet been revealed. Sony is going to sell the PS3 Slim version with 40 GB of hard disk and a size reduced to almost half of the current one, with a 45nm processor and high-speed Blu-Ray reader for 299 euros , the price at which they will be sold from now on sale the remaining PS3 to eliminate stock. This is something that I was told more than a month ago and that, thanks to the leaks that have been coming out, every day has more signs of becoming a reality than of remaining a mere rumor. With brand new hardware, did anyone say hackable? Not…
The leaked images of the PSP Go turned out to be true. Those of the PS3 Slim will be too. Sony must put all the meat on the grill and bet big on the sales of its hardware. This is the way to do it and we will have to wait until Tuesday to see the images and official confirmations.
As read online, the PS3 and PSP versions of the quintessential car game on the Sony console will return to the present day: ‘Gran Turismo 5’ and ‘Gran Turismo 4 Mobile’ respectively. The driving saga is still alive and in this E3 2009 they are expected to return with final release dates and, of course, its corresponding demo.
Another of the great Sony sagas is the one starring Kratos. ‘God of War III’ for PS3 would finally have a release date for all who are looking forward to it. In addition, it is expected that very soon there will be playable demo and some new trailer of those that leave you speechless. As for PSP , it is said that they will release a new installment of the adventures in a new game that we will provisionally call ‘ God of War: Chains of Olympus II ‘.
We continue talking about games because the next Team ICO is expected with great interest, since Fumito Ueda will be present at the fair and anything related to ‘ Trico ‘ will be more than well received. We recently saw the leaked trailer but official confirmations are expected at E3, the video in high quality and with a longer duration, as well as a final release date.
Another of the geniuses who will have to present the game will be Hideo Kojima, who everyone expects to present ‘ Metal Gear Solid 5 ‘ (although he said that ‘MGS4’ would be the last …) in addition to a surprise game called ‘ Mask ‘ of which nobody knows absolutely nothing. There are many hopes within Sony in the newness of these two geniuses named Fumito Ueda and Hideo Kojima.
They also say that backward compatibility to PS3 will return , and with it, the sale of PS2 games on the PS Store. If everything continues as it has been said, a future update of the firmware of the console will allow the software emulation of PS2 games, which would solve the problem of the long-awaited backward compatibility and, in addition, opens the doors to the business of selling games by PS2 . What about the original PS2 games we already have? Ah, nothing happens. Although I do not know if this will be the case, it is said that when a PS2 game is inserted into the console, a code will be activated and the game will be associated with the free download (or at a reduced price) of said game, so the business is served.
They also say that the possibility of renting games from the PS Store will arrive, through game sections. In other words, download a level of the game you want for a low price for a certain time, so that you do not have to buy the complete game at once but still be able to play it.
Another thing that they comment is the arrival of the Trophies to PSP , where the session will be started with the same PSN ID and they will be accumulated with those of PS3. In addition, a music and movie store for the laptop will arrive, which will take advantage of the possibilities of the new hard disk of the console.
But as if all this were not enough, the arrival of ‘SingStar’, ‘LittleBigPlanet’, ‘Tekken 6’ and other great sagas to PSP is also discussed. Finally, Sony will focus a large part of its conference on ‘ Heavy Rain ‘, and who knows if any more surprises are in store for those who believe they have everything lost.
Sony will broadcast your conference live through ‘Home’ and we will offer you a special follow-up.
