Visualizing PlayStation’s E3 Legacy

We’ve been coming to the same party since 1995 and it never gets old!

In a couple of hours we will be taking the stage down here in Los Angeles for our annual press conference at E3, and we can’t wait to share some of the exciting news that will be coming your way from PlayStation this year. While we can’t share specifics just yet, we thought it might be fun to highlight some of the biggest announcements from past E3s.

Obviously, there have been some pretty epic moments over the years, these are just a few of our favorites, but let us know what some of your favorite memories from previous E3s have been in the comment section below!

  • I can’t wait! Guh.

  • BRING THE RAIN SONY, BRING IT!!! >8( 8P 8)

  • if i get a free dlc with playstation plus when playstation plus expires the dlc will be gone???

  • *worst i mean

  • 1998 Syphon Filter heh? So it was that important heh? Is that a hint for this year that we could see this franchise on the ps3?
    Anyway, I know you will announce great things like usually.

  • Legacy UNMATCHED!!!!

  • Sony, you guys don’t need to worry about Microsoft anymore because their E3 conference was the most pathetic one I have seen.

  • What time does the webcast begin??

  • Just curious, but was any one else hoping Microsoft would get hacked in the middle of their press conference causing Xbox Live to be cut off for several months?

  • how bout 2011 psn down

  • I agree with comment #1 :)

  • 2006’s press conference was eaten by an, historically accurate, giant enemy crab.

  • I’m looking forward to seeing if Sony announces any major upgrades to the PSN, such as Cross-Game Chat, Voice Messages, etc. That’s the major announcement i’m looking for out of this E3 Conference. I know they will deliver on the games. We’ll just have to see, and if PSVita supports Trophies, Friends, and Chat i’ll be making the purchase when it releases.

  • Also: “RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAAACERRRRR!”

  • playstation has come a far way from playstation to playstation slim(2) and ps3 and the network wow it is amazing what one group of people can do in an decade , Good job sony i will always be a loyal fan.

  • what time does the press conference start in eastern time?

  • exterminator_123

    new ps3 system and new camara for ps move …lol

  • I heard xbox e3 confrence sucked hahaha that funny.Playstation u rule XBOX YOU CAN GO SUCK YOUR CONNECT!!!!!!!!!!!!YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i just watched the E3 of microsoft and i noticed it had too much kinect related announcements.it didnt have enough games.i had to skip parts to go through.i hope sony will focus more on games than ps move or ps home.anyways,the funny fact about the E3 microsoft is that they brought “xbox home”.its such a pathetic attempt at copying sony.

  • RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGDE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACER!!!!!!!!!!11 on NGP, that would be funny to see.

  • To all you fanboys,

    I’ll hug my ps3 and Xbox 360, knowing i have the BEST of both worlds!!

  • I..AM…SO…EXCITED!
    Ah!

    Skyrim looks gorgeous, I am completely excited.
    MW3, Noticed so many cool new things, and it is most definitely on my list to buy along with Skyrim.

    Cannot wait to see the PS3 presser.
    I finally got into online gaming with Black Ops, and my eyes are now looking desperately for the next cool game!

    Go Playstation, no matter what, you will still have loyal fans, through the fire and the wind, we’re always on your side!

    Hope you guys can laugh about the recent downtime, the only way to get through it without any shame, is to hold your head up high, laugh, and get on with the epic.

    Hurry up! 8(5pst)pm couldn’t get here quick enough!

    WAIT NGP RELEASE DATE COULD BE!!!

  • 7 minutes… should be interesting if they MAGICALLY talked about the new Final Fantasy Type 0 coming out for the PSP. I swear that game will NEED to be on the NGP, and i wouldn’t be surprised if was ONLY for the NGP.

  • While I agree that the Microsoft press conference was disappointing (well, not for me… I don’t own a 360), what are people expecting from the Sony show? Pretty certain it’s going to be biased towards the PSVita, which is understandable as it’s new hardware. My guess is that the base unit (without 3G) is going to be either $350 or $400. It’s something of a Sony tradition to overprice hardware at launch, and I don’t expect that to stop now.
    Not too optimistic on new PS3 games, either. Maybe we’ll get a street date and gameplay footage from Last Guardian, but unless Sony have a super-secret new IP they’ve been keeping under their hats, it’s going to be sequels and HD remakes.
    Nintendo’s press conference will be the one to watch (just like last year). They know how to make a splash, and we’re finally going to get a look a Project Cafe. Microsoft and Sony are just going through the motions at this point. Nintendo still have imagination and inspiration to spare.

  • i remember when is was addicted to crash bandicoot when i was i beat every single game in that series ahh good times:)

  • testing

  • Hoping for more community features for PSN as well as some surprise games. Good luck out there tonight :)

  • testing!

  • Uh, 3 more hours to wait. /groan

  • i can test post all i want if i put anything else it don’t post

  • @gezuz11, DLC such as add ons and avatars don’t go away when PS+ expires.

  • I own both the ps3 and 360, i like how fanboys bash 360 all the time, after all 360 is the leading system, has been for a looooong time

  • Also wouldn’t mind United Front going on stage to maybe show upcoming ModNation DLC and tell us if the Arctic Theme is coming this week or next.

  • Both systems RULE:)

  • When is the conference on Eastern time ?

  • it starts at 8:00 for eastern people, on the official website. you’ll see a link.

  • @82 as i said in my post above, 3 hrs until then so 8.

  • The announcement of quality exciting games is a given. What I’d like to hear about are even more great Move-enabled games.
    I’d also like to hear more about the NGP, both about the games and what the system can do.
    Also, I’m really hoping for some cards up Sony’s sleeves in terms of system software updates, PlayStation Network additions, or PlayStation Store enhancements.

  • @ 85 i agree about the update. i want to be able to customize the way the store looks

  • You forgot to mention…Phil Harrison shows off how he can’t drive in Gran Turismo live on stage demo.

  • Been waiting all year for this one. Want to see what Sony has got for us for the next year or two. BRING IT BABY! Dang…. Still a long wait.

  • SONY E3 FTW!!

  • Remember when the Wii came out and all it had was a bunch of crappy games? Same thing with the Move and Kinect…they’re just not at that point we’re all waiting for…and I bet Sony will far surpass Microsoft at E3

  • love this

  • Remember when Sony revealed the price of the PS3 and people were vomitting uncontrollably and 1 person had a heart attack? If you don’t remember, I’ll remind you.

    500 99 DOLLARS. If you don’t understand, I’ll repeat……….FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE DOLLARS!!!!!!

    Old man: OH, my heart.

  • @90 and the wii STILL has 95% crappy games…all I give them is their main mario games metroidprime3 and dkcountry returns…and this is coming from a huge nintendo fan

  • and brawl…i still play ssbb…my bad

  • @93 mostly the only games that don’t suck entirely and completely are Nintendo’s own game series. There are a few exceptions, very very VERY few.

  • @95
    Exactly…that’s why I’m not holding my breath for any spectacular Move or Kinect products…the only reason I have a Move is bc killzone is fun for a while that way.
