Ok, the PS3 keynote from E3 just ended. There were some amazing announcements, along with some slower moments. That’s the case with any keynote, and PS3’s news was definitely more good than bad. Figured, I would share some of the major updates that occurred during PS3’s keynote.

- The first big announcement was the gameplay showing of MAG. The game was announced at last year’s E3, and it looked to be well underway. There is a release date of Nov. 24th 2009 as of right now.

- The next bit of news was hardware related, and was the “official” announcement of PSP Go. I was really skeptical when first hearing the news that PSP Go wouldn’t offer UMD capabilities. However, the way Sony explained it is that PSP Go will be a partner to the PSP-3000. All the games will be exactly the same, only with PSP Go you can only download them.

- After that was the first showing of Assassin’s Creed 2. The game will take place in renaissance Italy. You’ll be playing as a new character, and a more ‘open’ experience. The major game change that was shown was the flying machine that has you soaring across the city. Leonardo Da Vinci will be making an appearance as a partner character.

- If you’re a PSP owner, then a new Metal Gear Solid game called Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalkers was announced. Along with GT: PSP.

- Next was the ‘huge’ surprise of PS3’s keynote, and it was Final Fantasy XIV. It was announced as a PS3 exclusive, and will be an online based game. There was only a trailer shown off, so not much is known at this point. A trailer was shown off for FFXIII, and the spring 2010 release date still stands.

- A new trailer for Gran Turismo 5 was shown. To be honest though, this really isn’t news. I honestly think a Gran Turismo 5 trailer has been shown at ever E3 that’s been around since the PS3 has been alive.

- If you were a fan of ICO, or Shadow of Colossus then the third game from the heralded developer is The Last Guardian. It looks to be in the spirit as the prior two. The trailer that was shown off didn’t provide a story, but did show some amazing visuals. It looks as though you’ll be playing as a small boy who has a massive guardian watching over him. The guardian looks like a cross between a Possum and a rooster. Much cooler than it sounds.

- The final piece of the E3 keynote for PS3 was the demo for God of War 3. This game looks very beautiful. The short demo showed off a war savaged city that Kratos is running through as he tears up some bad guys. There’s a huge monster that reminds me of a titan that is just laying waste to the city. If my jaw could physically hit the floor, it would have for the demo.
