Sony @ E3 11: ModNation Racers announced for PlayStation Vita
ModNation Racers was demonstrated on the PlayStation Vita. It looked a lot like the two games that are already out, but there was one cool announcement: if you buy ModNation Racers on the Vita, you’ll have access to all the user-created content made for the PlayStation 3 version.
No release date was announced.

Sony @ E3 11: “Social Action” RPG, Ruin, announced for PlayStation Vita
Sony announced a “social action” (or “impactful combat”) RPG called Ruin for the PlayStation Vita. It has many aspects of regular RPGs, including character development, and looks a little bit like Diablo II on a handheld. But the enemies you fight are other players, turning it into a strange and interesting hybrid. This will work seamlessly with the PlayStation 3 version – simply save it on the cloud and you can continue your game right on your console.
No word on when this game will be released.
Sony @ E3 11: NGP officially titled PlayStation Vita; Sony partners with AT&T
Sony’s Next Generation Portable (NGP) is officially named the Playstation Vita. Vita means “life,” and SCE CEO Kaz Hirai said it will blur the lines between your real life and your ability to play and interact. It’s got two analog sticks, six-axis motion technology, front and rear cameras, OLED screen, and one model will even have 3G. They’re partnering with AT&T as the exclusive carrier.
That last one was announced to surprised groans and laughter from the crowds.
Sony also announced “Party” and “Near,” applications which allow you to connect with your friends list, utilizing social networking and keeping you connected with your community.

Sony @ E3 11: BioShock Infinite has Move compatibility, new BioShock game on NGP
Ken Levine was out on stage at the Sony press conference to announce PlayStation Move compatibility for BioShock Infinite as well as to discuss something very important: the BioShock universe coming to the NGP. He said that there was an idea of a game in the BioShock universe that was being kicked around, and that they finally found a home for it – and then casually pulled an NGP out of his pocket. The untitled NGP game, or BioShock NGP, is untitled and in the very early stages, but whatever it is, I’m sure it’s epic.
Speaking of epic, BioShock Infinite will be out next year, and the PlayStation 3 version will include the original BioShock.

Sony @ E3 11: Enhanced Move functionality in InFamous 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2
Starting tomorrow, gamers will be able to create levels with the PlayStation Move in inFAMOUS 2. Not only that, but starting in September, they’ll be adding a deeper functionality to the creation aspect of LittleBigPlanet 2, with and for PlayStation Move. Considering how disappointing Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves was, I’m eager to see what the community will create.
