I rolled my eyes a bit when they announced exclusive content with Destiny, despite having no interest in the game. Why would Activision or Bungie do that, let alone Sony. It's evil, stop being evil.
Not that Microsoft isn't also doing that nonsense, of course.

FF and KH were pre-debunked by S-E unless we were getting a surprise fakeout (which woulda been great but S-E lol).
Morpheus got shown and has hands on apparently, demoing that onstage could have gotten the same response as Rachet movie since we can't see with them.
Project Beast doesn't count cause we knew it but if they didn't show it it would be endless "WTF is Project Beast?" Yeah....no.
It was much better than expected, too bad that in the second part they got lost in marketing talk and TV series for half a hour, but then it picked up again with GTAV, Batman, MGS5 and Uncharted 4.
The only missing piece was The Last Guardian :/ and a few trailers from indie games like Rime, The Witness (plus obviously FFXV and KH3
).

between that and Kamiya, I hope we see the return of kinda-weird-but-good Xbox exclusive Japanese games, like the old days with JSRF/Panzer Dragoon Orta/Ninja Gaiden/Gunvalkyrie/Otogi/METAL WOLF CHAOS/etc
where the fuck are the Xbox emulators
Post is 10/10..
I have to add that the Fall 2014 release of GT7 was a welcomed shocker as well.

Sony fared better in the "this is what you'll see when you get this game into your console" aspect.
MS obviously didn't have the games ready to show, and while many were just CGI's or target renders, they did announce more than Sony (even if most if not all was already known).
Sony will still have the long-term upper hand for when they need big announcements, I guess. If they are not leaked that is.

Some of those indie games were on Vita though. They actually showed it on screen. That's more than we could have hoped for.

And most of them didn't look that interesting to me. I'm not the biggest fan of indies (because while there are many gems, theres also lots of crap you have to shovel through), and while stuff like No Man's Sky does look interesting, I'm skeptical about whether that stuff will really remain that interesting to me after it's actually released. It seems like one of those things that could easily lose its novelty very quickly if not handled right
You mean FUNDING a game that would have never seen the light of day because the devs were short on money? Educate yourself rather than regurgitating stuff from other posters.

Um, did you watch MS conference? They did the exact same thing, AC, The Division, COD, Evolve, etc. What's worse is, their conference was mostly third party multiplats.
Agreed.

I feel like the icing on the cake was they revealed that the Legend of Dragoon HD is available for download right now.

I don't think Microsoft did enough to be able to match the PS4 in sales this fall. No matter what you think of the conferences, I don't see anyone arguing that. I don't think the price drop was enough. I bought one today but I think I am in the minority.
Damn, can I watch the conference you watched? :v

The combination of the new Playstation boss talking for what felt like 15 minutes, followed up by the comic show guy talking for another 5 minutes. Ugh.
They also showed some games that just didn't seem worthy of the E3 stage.
BUT, they also showed the most games that got me really excited today. The Order, Uncharted 4, Arkham Knight, No Man's Sky, and the GTA5 announcement. They just had the bigger moments for me. Sony gets my vote for best conference of the day.

Everything MS was destroyed for doing (TV, Money Hatting, not focusing on games), Sony did, and no one seems to see that.
I own both consoles, but there is no way I can say that Sony delivered an E3 presentation anywhere near what MS brought to the table this year.

oh god, fucking system wars. This is why I stay in off topic most of the time.
Like Microsoft, I thought Sony had a good albeit unspectacular conference. They had some nice exclusives and showed gameplay from some big third-party games but they either didn't have a huge megaton exclusive surprise or didn't show enough of a huge exclusive (Uncharted and Bloodborne obviously aren't in gameplay state yet, so they could have had a bigger impact on me if that was the case). I'd still give them a 'B' like I did Microsoft.
So, yeah. Both had nice third-party showings, both had some interesting exclusives (Sony more, I'd say), but neither had enough gameplay to show of their exclusives and Sony's entertainment/PSN block was rough. I can't hate on either, but neither blew my mind either. Nintendo will be interesting, because I could see them being my favorite at this E3 considering the competition, but you never know with them.
I own an XBO, PS4 and Wii U, so I know there is plenty to play anyway as there are quite a few games that interest me, but I haven't had my mind blown yet at this E3, and you obviously always root for that to happen at least once.

pip pip cheerio you slags!
I really thought both MSs and Sony's were solid, but I felt like MS just had some "that's cool" titles, why Sony really had a strong mix of excellent showings and meh.

Sony had the most interesting stuff for me. Everyone was riding that multiplat "me first" train too hard, though.
Sony: 8
MS: 7
Ubi: 6
EA: 2
EA bombed harder this year than anyone else in recent memory.

Sony is proud to announce that every PS4 owner gets exclusive access to the possibility to pass on the game. You don´t have to play the game and you don´t have to pay 69$. Starting today!

I think it's more I can't believe they gave him the most boring and toughest part of the presentation for his first ever E3 after Jack. You give that guy one of the big reveals and maybe next year let him to do the slow part. That was a weird choice.

I liked MSFT's show but I'm only trying to figure out why some are discounting or forgetting the enormous list of indies Adam showed on stage on top of the Paradox multi game deal and all those Devolver games AND even that last exclusive Croteam nugget which looked to be exclusive.

I've got to say though, Sony is really creative with its 3rd-party partnerships.
FC4 MP is free if your friend bought it and invites you? WTF!?

Outside of the slow mid section I think they had a very enjoyable conference. As a Vita owner it was a bit of a bummer to hear nothing outside of a few indies and "hey, Tales of Hearts R is still coming". Although I'm anticipating those titles its an understandable bummer that we didn't get footage of Hearts R, Gravity Rush 2 or anything else.

I am curious on how Nintendo will fare. Coming up with the games they have announced now (X, Pokemon ORAS, Smash, Zelda) there's a basis for some potential, but they'll need more to catch up with Sony or even Microsoft's conference.
And no, being "all games" doesn't make an automatic "A+++" (quality matters) and having a decent Smash character reveal doesn't do it either

If you went to the Sony E3 Experience at a theater, you got a card that came with a code. That code unlocks:
Seriously, so excited. So glad I went.
- Destiny Alpha Access on June 12th
- Battlefield: Hardline Beta Code on June 16
- $5 PSN Voucher
- 30 Day Music Unlimited Trial on June 18.
Seriously, so excited. So glad I went.
So glad I got four.

at this point, I don't think Sony has to or has moneyhatted anything. LOL I think 3rd parties are DYING to get headline billing on PS4.
i'm sure there are dealings going on, but I don't think $$ (in the traditional sense) is involved.
before E3, insiders were saying 3rd partied were fighting to get a spot on Sony's E3 stage.

I'm sorry, but you clearly didn't see:
Crackdown, Fable, Halo 5 and MC Collection, Phantom Dust, Forza Horizon and Scalebound....
I was at the theater experience event and even with the few hiccups they had this is the new way to watch E3 for me.
Sony blew me wide open. Msoft I didn't even bother to watch the rerecording...I mean all I heard of that I wanted is the chief collection, but it hardly justifies a purchase until it's closer to the Halo 5 beta for me.
I'm just shocked how poorly Xbox One is doing...they need a TON of new IP's and internal studios going full speed to start doing catch up. Sony is another league right now.
