Portal 2 will be updated for Move, and get the DLC that was designed for that PC controller that was so much like move and that had everyone expect a Move version of the game much sooner. FINALLY! Yes! My patience is rewarded. I'm probably the only gamer in the world that managed to not play this game in the hope that this would be coming one day, but hey, stoked!

Interesting little tidbit on Eurogamer:

Yoshida blamed Vita's sparse showing on Sony's attempt to cut the length of its press conference compared to previous years.
"As far as how our conference went - it went as well as we thought it could," he said. "I'm getting lots of tweets from people saying, 'where are PS Vita games?' That was, in retrospect, our fault - not looking at every angle when we designed the programme for the show. We have 25 new games, Vita titles, playable on the show floor.
"We could have spent more time - probably we should - showing off those games coming out this year.

I think that's well covered in the dialogue overheard as the protagonist approaches. It really didn't leave much question to me as to the intent of those guys.

...Well, one's entitled to dream at least, right?

Well they did just say the game was experiencing technical difficulties

Sony's much-anticipated The Last Guardian was not shown during Sony's E3 press conference earlier this week due to "technical difficulties," Sony Worldwide president Shuhei Yoshida has said.

Talking to Eurogamer, Yoshida explained, "The team is back in Tokyo working hard, and there are some technical difficulties that the team is focused on right now. That's why we don't have an update."

When asked whether the game will definitely be released at some point for PlayStation 3, he responded, "When we have confidence in saying that, we will talk about it. But today, we are working through some engineering effort."

This is the latest hiccup in a string of delays, staff changes and publicity mishaps for the game. Last year Sony said that it was delaying the title, while retailer GameStop mistakenly told its customers that the game was cancelled.

However, multiple Sony studios are now working to get the project out the door as quickly as possible.

Nice to see the promised bonanza of free games for the US has actually translated to Europe, currently downloading a plethora of new games!!!!!!

Shifty, I can feel you pain man! I kind of agree...but then, I am currently playing Max Payne 3...which focus solely on its core gameplay...and makes tons of fun just playing it (up to now, story is meh...although narative style is superb)! My motivation to play this game is not to see how the story advances, but just to play it more because I like the gameplay so much...there is hope Shifty!!

I don't get this sympathy. Even if we discount what they were talking about as far as "tourists" and Joel initiated the confrontation unprovoked. They tried to kill the protagonist with guns, pipes, etc. The grunt at the end attempted to hurt the girl. Additional context is required to kill them/knock them out?

E3 has come and gone .......

Where's my new GG game, new sucker Punch game, New KZ Vita game, where's Overstrike, where's Respawn Ent new game, where's everything nice and good and warm and expected ....Waaaaaa !

Not in the gameplay clip I saw, but maybe I missed some stuff that was shown?

From various impressions this is indeed not scripted. You can take different routes, you can be stealthy and not fight at all, etc. Someone likened it a bit to MGS4 etc

Just got out from WWDC keynote. Very very impressive !
Will buy an AppleTV tonight for AirPlay from both Mac and iOS. ^_^

I finally complete Sony's E3 last night. Very moved by NaughtyDog's show. It's inspiring to see them evolve slowly from ICE tech sharing days to Uncharted 1, 2, and 3 to The Last of Us.

I sure hope Sony share those technologies with Team Ico.... coz that catbird will need well integrated AI and animation also.

Yeah, there were 2 presentations. The earlier trailer showed a group of men ambushing Joel and Ellie in a pickup truck. The second demo showed the skirmish with the same group of folks. They are hostile/dangerous. Then again, you can avoid them if you want.

0. Work ! But I can't tell you what they are. 8^P

1. I asked a smart, rich and _old_ guy what his regrets are. He regretted not spending enough time with his family, so his kids grew up as strangers to him. That was like a lightning bolt through my head. 8^D
I have been spending lot's of quality time with my family. Will be visiting Alaska soon, with my parents before it's too late. 8^P

2. People probably see me (much) less on their PS3 friends list these days too. I moved all my game time to Vita because I couldn't and can't find time to sit down and play a long game. Amazingly, I still managed 130+ hours of game time on Persona 3 Portable. That means I'm not as busy as I thought, or those pockets of time can add up. (Actually I can game on Vita beside my wife as she watches stuff on Hulu Plus, so that helps a lot).

I will get back to my PS3 backlog some day but probably the end of this year.

Maybe they didn't have much on the Vita because they're cutting their losses.

Sony is heading towards Nokia and RIMM territory.

It's getting less and less likely that they will produce some kind of game changing product.

Pretty sad.

[BoardBonobo]

They ~25 games on the floor for the Vita. They just should have concentrated on that but they wanted to keep the whole thing short.

Pressure both from last year (people complained several times that their conference was too long), from Microsoft (doesn't need to spend much time outside of 360) and from TV (again, keep it short). It was still not a good way to show Vita though, and Sony acknowledged this later as a mistake.

I suspect it's the reverse. You may see more and more investment from Sony into core gaming, including Vita. ^_^

Yeah, the WonderBook presentation is less than ideal too. That platform seems to generate some interest among the mainstream press because of JK Rowling, and BBC. I still think they need a digital version of WonderBook.
