Sony E3 2008 press conference starts at 7.30pm UK time

Here we go. Nintendo just delivered a “news-light” press conference at E3, clearing the way for what we hope will be a “fireworks-heavy,” force 10 of a showing from Sony. Microsoft blew the internet up last night with a line-up topped off with a gigaton FFXIII announcement, and all eyes are now on PlayStation 3 and its coming year to deliver the goods.

Home, a price cut, new hardware, the Ueda game, Tears of Blood, God of War, Resistance 2, Killzone 2: let’s go Sony. Give us everything you’ve got. Let’s see Kaz cry with excitement. Let’s see Harrison-replacement Shuhei Yoshida rip the roof off. Let’s see fucking something, anyway.

The IGN feed’s holding up very well. All details here.

It can’t be any worse than Nintendo.

I want Bungie’s new countdown-thingy to be a PS3 game. Do it Sony! Stick it to the man!

Expect GOW3 and nothing new.

Really nothing from Ueda?

Looks as though this is going to start late, by the way.

No, Ueda won’t show.

TGS, maybe, though… I pray for Team Ico.

No Team Ico, but not a bad one anyway.

DC Online for me, and GoW3 of course.

That was it.

One piece of good news – Eternal Sonata PS3 is coming to the US.

E3 was a bit meh all round really.

Very little there from Sony that has me excited – yes, it’s nice to see God of War 3 and Resistance 2, but we knew they were coming already.

Biggest let down was the missed opportunity (again) to bring back PS2 backwards compatibility. Sony just haven’t understood what made that 80GB MGS4 pack so desirable have they…?

I get this picture of them in my mind – fingers in ears, shouting “la la la we can’t hear you la la la”.
