Sony and the Shadow

Sony Europe held a conference this afternoon to put a PAL spin on yesterday's announcements. Nothing earth-shattering was announced but I did hear Phil Harrison - who presented the PS3 demos - say that the fantastic Killzone footage was essentially in real-time. What that means I don't know, but I'm hoping to speak to him tomorrow to find out. The highlight of the shindig wasn't EyeToy Kenetic, the keep fit game, or Buzz, a new music quiz that comes with special controllers. No, it was Shadow of the Colussus - made by the team who made the seminal ICO - that did it for me. There wasn't even a great deal to the demo - essentially horse riding - but the marvellously washed-out lighting bought back happy memories of Yorda and the castle. E3 finally starts tomorrow (6pm UK time).
