Free To Play,... it was announced like its a great thing.

Aside from Grim Fandango and Star Wars Battlefront, it's been a pretty bleh show so far.

I even think them offering something free in Forza was a response to people complaining about the nickel and dime nature of that game.

Well, as they said, that's the third free track they've released. The only reason that was an E3 thing was likely a little time filler to remind everyone the game is there, and because that was the biggest complaint, as far as omissions were. They already gave out Road America and Long Beach free.

One thing I will say is that the apparent rebranding of PS Vita TV to Playstation TV was a good idea. I'm hoping there will be PS4/TV bundles later this year that don't involve a Vita.

It would never happen, but I would give my left nut for a sequel to Chrono Trigger/Cross for the 3DS.

If I had to guess, Sony will focus more on JRPGs during the Tokyo Game Show in September. As someone that originally bought a PlayStation simply because Final Fantasy was on it, it's a bit of a bummer to see them essentially ignore me during most of the FPS-filled presentation.

I can't find where it talks about the PS4 streaming... is this just using the Vita Connect or whatever?

The PlayStation TV is essentially a Vita without a screen or controls, but it has an Ethernet port. It has the exact same functionality as a normal Vita (apart from the obvious unsupported things), but it also supports Ethernet, HDMI output (Vita has no video out functionality), and controllers.

To note, the Vita TV does support the DualShock 4. That was added in update 3.10.

This Yoshi game looks amazing. Both visually and Yoshi's Island was absolutely awesome. Man I kind of want a Wii U suddenly lol.

I have a deep seated love for Pokemon from being a kid but I wish they'd do something a little different with the IP - I still think a Pokemon MMO would go gangbusters.

So what was this mysterious 3DS game all the sites were talking about?

New Zelda is great but almost nothing was shown which means we are very far away from release. I bet it doesn't release in 2015.
