In short, Sony's press conferance was about sport and racing games, not much of anything else. We saw some gameplay from Heavenly Sword which looked really interesting. Sing Star will feature a new online mode where you can share your karaoke videos with others (like google video but in the living room).Some new card game with a Gizmondo concept, where you lay out the cards with symbols on them, infront of the camera, and the game recognizes the symbols and creates the model for it on the screen. Didn't seem to do much than just render them, but they'll probably implement a battle system later.
One of the highlights of the conferance was procedural animation for the next NBA game. Also, there was something called ucap or something, that was used as some advanced motion capture for facial expressions if I'm not mistaken. They demonstrated it with Tiger Woods, and it really looked awsome.
Well, all in all, I find the conferance to be somewhat of a let down. Too much sport/racing games, and too little innovations...
