An extensive look into Resistance 2, sequel of PS3 launch title, Resistance: Fall of Man, was given by Insomniac Games President Ted Price to kick off the show.

"The PlayStation family of products is unsurpassed in 2008 with a lineup of exclusive content for all platforms developed by the best and brightest development teams in the world," said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president of product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We are dedicated to driving the industry forward leveraging our technology and development resources to offer consumers a wide variety of innovative titles, from casual games to hardcore games."

PS3 titles showcased during E3 2008 include Sony Computer Entertainment's next generation open world adventure inFamous from Sly Cooper creators Sucker Punch Productions; LittleBigPlanet which allows players to create, play and share entire game levels via PlayStation Network; the wild tropical racing action of Motorstorm: Pacific Rift from Evolution Studios; the much speculated God Of War 3 in full 1080p high definition; NBA '09: The Inside featuring the detailed and engaging NBA experience both on the court and behind the scenes; the ultra realistic "Theater of War" epic, Killzone 2 from Guerilla Games; and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation, the return of the defacto online shooter experience with up to 32 players.

The highly-acclaimed Ratchet & Clank series makes an appearance with a fresh title created specifically for PlayStation Network by Insomniac Games, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty. Other original content available through PlayStation Network was also on display, granting guest access to previously unseen footage of the experimental PixelJunk Eden from Q-Games, independent gaming experience of Flower, the episodic Siren: Blood Curse and previously unannounced games like Crash Commando and Fat Princess.

SCEA also announced some of its most entertaining titles making their portable premieres on the PSP system with the quiz show fun of BUZZ! Master Quiz, an updated and portable version of the classic arcade game Super Stardust Portable and sequels to two of the most innovative platform action games to hit PSP; LocoRoco2 and Patapon2. Unveiled to the public for the first time was Resistance: Retribution, a third-person shooter developed by SCEA's Bend Studio based in the Resistance universe and featuring a proprietary control system designed specifically for the PSP system.

In addition to SCEA's robust first-party lineup, PlayStation fans will have further reason to get excited about expanding their game libraries as over 350 new titles from their publishing partners will be released this fiscal year for the PS3, PlayStation Network, PSP and PlayStation2 systems, encompassing industry leading franchises as well as new intellectual properties from Capcom, Midway, Namco Bandai Games America, and Sega. Exclusive titles that will only be found on the PS3 system this holiday season include Valkyria Chronicles, a ground-breaking tactical RPG from SEGA's Japan Studios; Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm from Namco Bandai Games America which introduces full 3D ninja combat and all-new free-roaming gameplay; and Disgaea 3, a new twist on the Disgaea battle system in 3D from NIS America, Inc.
