Sony E3 Conference Impressions

-
To wrap up the nights events, the Sony E3 Press Conference manages to close on a high note. Sony showed the first ever gameplay for the God Of War: Ascension, which retains the brutality as the previous titles. They also announced that the game will be released in March of next year.
It wouldn't be a Sony conference without a look at Vita and Sony managed to highlight the handheld hardware. Sony announced Assassin's Creed: Liberation releasing on the same day as AC III; it features a female lead and will unlock items for AC III on PS3. Sony also announced Call of Duty:Black Ops - Declassified and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will be making their way to the handheld.


Now back to the meat of the show. Several reveals were made at the Conference including the first ever gameplay for AC III using ships and the Far Cry 3 4-player co-op mode. Sony didn't stop there, they also revealed Beyond: Two Souls. Beyond: Two Souls is a the new game from Quantic Dream, the makers of Heavy Rain. You may remember the Kara demo from last month.


The high note came at the end when Sony showed  Last of Us gameplay which was beautiful, violent, impressive and comes as no surprise as Naughty Dog is at the reigns for this game. Sony clearly comes out on top when compared to the Microsoft conference. One more of the big three to go. Check out the entire conference and individual videos under the E3 2012 link.

As a consumer society we like, need and want different things and with a variety of options getting them can easily be achieved. When you apply this to the video game industry you get games in the various versions, from Regular to Limited Editions, to Collector’s and Deluxe Editions. In addition to these editions, retailers often take it upon themselves to offer pre-order incentives. Pre-Ordering will give you access to a specific item, weapon or accessory, a discount or some other incentive that is unique to the store to get customer to buy from that retailer. In 2011 we saw several games receive the incentives treatment and a few that received retailer specific incentives. Its now 2012 and retailers are back at it again. Mass Effect 3 and Prototype 2 have both been given retailer specific incentive months before their launch and you can guarantee a lot more will follow.
