Maybe they all flew over my head, but the only one I got was the one with the camera. House made a comment in passing about how the camera has been there day one as an option for consumers.
Sony E3 2014 Conference Thread

Destiny white PS4 bundle is the way to go man.
Raises hand*
Conference as a whole was hilariously underwhelming and actually worse than Microsoft's. Mortal Kombat X, Grim Fandago and I guess Bloodborne were the only semi-interesting things for me, but even they were just kinda "meh".
It still amazes me though that people on this forum are actually getting excited about The Last of Us and GTAV remasters. Really?

Oh okay. I was just genuinely curious. Yeah, I'm hoping for some JRPGs too, but I don't think we're going to get nearly as many this gen as last. Most are going to either 3DS or Vita... or even PS3.
I LOVE No Man's Sky ambitious idea. I also loved the presenter, he seemed overwhelmed by the occasion. I wish them the best. To be honest, that is the only thing in the conference that WOWed me. Everything else was good/mediocre/bad.
Also, what was the deal with the sound and the pacing? The videos were shown before the presenters even finished speaking.
Yeah, I noticed it too. Weird

Something related to "Flower" was cut from the show
At the 10:47:00 mark: http://www.spike.com/netstorage/e3/live.html
Happens between the Ratchet and Clank Movie and TLOU remastered. Unknown if threadworthy.
Yeah, I noticed it too. Weird

is the Playstation Now is what Gaikai is supposed to be? or some watered down version of what we thought of what Gaikai was?
They were likely plants. They should've gotten the woman from the E3 conference. She was so absurd that it ended up being hilarious.
How the hell was telling Conker fans to fuck off being humble? Both conferences were crap IMO.
Curious. What other forums think that?
They did troll them. House said they have given customers the option to buy a camera since launch, not forced it upon us.

Arkham Knight, Uncharted, Far Cry 4, Infamous, and No man's Sky!
Your Post History is just sad.
How can you tell me that was amazing when we knew all of it except for what I bold.
Uncharted is Uncharted. We know what to expect. I'm getting it day 1 but it's still Uncharted
Second Son DLC looked alright. Fetch was nothing special so I have no interest for it really.
The Order footage looked horrible and really puts a bad name to those games that do try to do something cinematic but actually remember they are games too. This is trying to be a movie but not in a QD type of way.
I don't even know how TLOU is even on this list. We've all played it so why not waste 5 minutes talking about it. It shouldn't have even been in the conference especially since we didn't get any gameplay footage.
Same thing as above. We knew that GTA V was coming to next gen but the only note worthy thing is that it's coming to PC. We didn't need to see another trailer for a game that came out less than a year ago.
No Man Sky looks great but the footage I saw really didn't change my view on the game than the footage I saw at VGX.
Arkham Knight looked amazing but it was no megaton. This was on par with MS's conference where they showed Unity or The Division.
White PS4 isn't anything noteworthy. It's only a different color.
Sony's conference wasn't bad (well it was terrible for those 20 minutes that no one wanted) but I don't see how it beats MS conference when MS also showed a lot of new games and showed a lot footage for game we already knew about. They were both on par, Microsoft might have been a little better since there was no talk of stupid TV stuff and comic stuff and numbers.

I would have been called a Microsoft fanboy for most of the X360/PS3 era and a Sony fanboy for the PS2 era and so on and so forth. I go with what's best for me.
For me, personally, Sony's E3 conference rocked. They showed a bunch of third-party games that I will buy and play on their system and some exclusives that I am very excited for (Bloodborne zomg). Much of that content was completely new to boot. Microsoft's was pretty blah for me. They showed some third-party games that I will buy for my PS4 instead and none of it was really new. They also showed exclusives that I either have zero interest in or only a very mild interest in and they definitely aren't system sellers.
So, why can't I have an opinion that Sony's was great and Microsoft's was meh? Given the context of my preferences and what I will actually buy and play I think that's pretty fair personal grading.

What happened to Alien Isolation? I thought we'd see that in either conference.
Like when? Cause I thought the crowd was in general very unresponsive for anything outside of solid game announcements.

Maybe they were waiting for these to come out and didn't buy the originals?
Pretty good conference. Dragged a bit in the middle, but then hit hard for me with Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted 4. Would like to have seen a Gran Turismo 7: Prologue announcement, but they might be saving it for TGS.
Hopefully I'll pick up a PS4 around August, play through The Last of Us again and get Assassin's Creed Unity.

they really love their remastered games for PS4 that they bought last year in 2013 on PS3
I bet these 2 games will be some of the biggest sellers on ps4.

I'm predominantly a racing genre fan so Sony has been disappointing for me 
No Drive Club and although GT was unlikely perhaps they could have shown some project cars or something for us driving fans?!
Luckily I have both consoles and MS brought it with the Forza ring and Horizon 2! Have my PS4 at the main TV and the bone in the back room at the mo, that may be changing for a while....

No driving games Was kinda hoping we'd see something from the smaller, PC-centric devs like Project CARS or Assetto Corsa. Oh, and I wanted to see some TxK PS4, too.

Still not tempted to get a One with Horizon 2 appearing on 360, but Crackdown 3 will probably force my hand eventually.I'm predominantly a racing genre fan so Sony has been disappointing for me

Overall I enjoyed the Sony conference. They definitely should have cut the psn and tv crap out and had a nice and tight 90 min conference like MS. Sunset Overdrive looks so fucking good though, the only game from MS that caught my interest. I really wanna but an xbone for that and maybe halo 2 but will prolly wait til gears in closer to the horizon. Sony could have used that one more thing besides uncharted since it was a given they had to show us a date on it. I was hoping for at least a GOW teaser or some other first party game.

I never called it amazing and I didn't even mention the MS conference? I just said it was a very solid showing.
So Sony's new exclusive lineup for the back half of this year:
Entwined (today)
TLOU Remastered
Helldivers
Hohokum
Infamous First Light Standalone DLC
Driveclub
Little Big Planet 3
Not bad I suppose. LBP3 really helps a ton. I'm betting we see more last minute surprises at Gamescom.

At least I'm getting all the episodes of Powers for free, so I'm happy.
Just wondering have they said that us Gold members will also be getting all the Xbox TV content for free too?

That's fine with me. I'd be content playing PS3 for many more years if the content is there. Suffice it to say, this conference has me not planning to buy a PS4 this year or next.
Fake edit: the glory of the english language, same word in the same sentence above with two different meanings and pronunciations. This language is worse than Sony's E3: confirmed.

Wtf no deep down
Sony is the only one out of the two that showed technology of something running real time that made me think the impossible was possible on consoles. That was realtime Uncharted. That was insane. Microsoft only showed CGI trailers of games I cared about. (Phantom Dust)
I know that Uncharted won't look as refined as that while controlling Drake, but their cutscenes are never super far off from gameplay either. Nothing that Microsoft showed came close to that IMO. Microsoft needed to show me that they could keep up technology wise with the Xbox One, and Sony just took another leap ahead. Naughty Dog are amazing.

Not as good as MS, but still a solid press conference.

Kind of sad isn't it?
They keep showing nothing. Then they show something and then they go back to showing nothing. Then they show something again. And then they're like "oh here's nothing again but exclusive content exclusive content".
It's like they're not sure what to say about it. It's quite odd.
That's my casual observation of the whole thing anyway.
How fucking DARE you.
Yeah, the problem MS has in particular is that they needed to convince people moreso with exclusive content to make up the discrepency in hardware like the PS2 did to its competition, because Sony can ride the 3rd party wave easier.
It's MS who needs to change the narrative, which I feel they failed to do, that doesn't mean they didn't have a solid conference.
Wasn't it just 1 game that got remastered from ps3 ?

Grim Fandango is timed exclusive, so Im not sure of how much it will call the 90's PC crowd for its platform. Let it Die we dont even know anything about it yet, and lets be honest, it will call no one but the proper Sony consumers.
I dont agree with you there. MS have as much varied games overall then Sony, if not more (since they have a fighting exlcusive, a racing sim and a racing arcade, aswell as shooters, actions and rpg).

At least there were games like Bloodborne to get the attention of gamers in Japan. Kind of a lost cause given that they are now pretty much smartphone gamers now but still.

It amazes you that people on a gaming forum are actually getting excited about remasters of two of the best games of the late last gen?
I skipped GTAV on PS3/360 because I knew an up-port was inevitable, and my waiting is going to pay off. So yes, I'm excited about next-gen GTAV.
I'm going to re-play TLoU as Remastered because I never played the DLC episode and it's now 1080p/60fps.

I thought they were going to go in harder.
I'm quite pleased they didn't, since I don't really want a camera and would enjoy a theoretically lower price, but just the same, the smirk was there for a moment.

Look, maybe if Phil Spencer gave NeoGAF a shout-out too things would be different.
Honestly though, scanning through it seems people are criticizing and praising both.
umm no those games are fun as hell.

Alright, so... Let's see what I was all about:
Sony:
Sony:
- Entwined: What a way to get into the show. "Here, go play this gorgeous game today because yes." I really want to see more gameplay, but what was shown seemed fantastic. Good choice of an E3 title for an immediate release.
- BloodBorne: I haven't played any From Software titles, so I got nothing from this except interesting setting, rather dot.hack//-like weapon, cool armor style, and fear. Makes me want to try Dark Souls.
- Abzu: Underwater exploration-based adventure with one hell of an artstyle? It got me good. It was almost my top showing of the conference. But...
- No Man's Sky: I teared up. Seriously. This is literally what I've always wanted. Explore unique worlds using advanced technologies, interstellar travel without loading, and some sublime graphics and style choices. Those colors? Byutiful. Also, the HUD looks perfect.
- PS-TV: I want one because I can get one and I want it now. Seriously. That price makes it perfect for "jumping in" the Vita's library while keeping a portable console to take on my travels.
- Ratchet and Clank - Movie: This looks great! It looks just like I thought a Ratchet and Clank movie should look like! That animation is fantastic!
I'm just expressing how I can't see how Sony's conference was leagues better than MS.
Wow. In what universe does Microsoft have as bad of a conference as EA? At least Microsoft had games to show. Microsoft could have just shown a demo of Kinectimals for an hour and been at the very least on par with EA. I don't even care much about Microsoft's conference (initially gave it a 6-7/10) but EA's is like 3/10 material if you're super generous.
And the game is a remake, and has been out for over a year, and it is not exclusive.
