I was personally astounded at Microsoft’s announcements yesterday – personally the news of a new Metal Gear did it for me – I cant wait!
But today, Sony also put up an uncredible display. Some anticipated titles got more information, and some new announcements were made!
Upcoming PS3 titles – Uncharted 2, Fight Night Round 4, SingStar, Bayonetta, Tekken 6, Batman Arkham Asylum, PixelJunk Shooter, Buzz, Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend. Of course the recent game “inFAMOUS” also made an appearance.
Upcoming PSP titles – Rock Band, Dissidia Final Fantasy, and Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines! Possibly a few more great games for the lacking library of the console. Gran Turismo and Resident Evil were also announced. Later on a montage was shown – with more bigger name brand titles – Soul Calibur, Jak & Daxter, MotorStorm Arctic Edge, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Star Wars Battlefront, Rock Band Unplugged.
Even Bigger PSP news!
Kojima takes the stand once again, announcing a new PSP Metal Gear – a PSP title set 10 years after MGS3 (so a sequel to Portable Ops). Kojima stated that the graphics will outdo that of Snake Eater, so this should be impressive. A scene shows four Solid Snakes taking on a Metal Gear – no word on the meaning of this though! Hideos certainly got my attention this year.
New PSOne Classic for PS3
Final Fantasy VII has been announced for download on PSN’s store. I’m sure this will sell well – its being put up for download today!
New game from Rockstar!
Rockstar have announced a new title – “Agent”. More news on this to come later.
Assassins Creed
Ubisoft have displayed more of Assassins Creed II – and also hinted at connectivity with the upcoming PSP title – Bloodlines. The new lead is called Ezio – and this time he can swim 
Final Fantasy news!
Footage of Dissidia and FFXIII were obviously shown – but an unexpected announcement of Final Fantasy XIV – a new MMORPG set in the world of Vana’diel from FFXI. Hopefully this will be a better title – its announced as PS3 exclusive but little is known yet. Apparently due 2010.
Motion Sensing Equipment
I havent personally looked into this one much myself as of yet, but it seems that PS3 are unleashing their own motion capture device to rival Microsofts Natal. Personally not of interest to me – but shown for use in RTS games. Looks like the actual motion capture might outdo that of the Wii though – as with Natal.
LittleBigPlanet news!
Media Molecule announced Disney DLC for LittleBig Planet – examples of Captain Jack Sparrow and the Incredibles. It seems they are also in development of a new game – ModNation Racers. A LBP style Kart Racing game which allows for the creation of your own tracks on the fly to be played instantly. The possibilities are astounding.
God of War III
Naturally, God of War III has had some footage – the game is looking beautiful and it seems they are adding a new type of Gauntlets, in the vein of the giant gauntlet from Chains of Olympus. Supposedly going to be as good as the Blades of Chaos, this could be quite something.
Well there you have it. I should cover more of these titles in greater detail soon, but its definitely a promising time for the games industry!
