TLG just said "2016" which to me means the ass end already, I won't be shocked to see it still slip into 2017 since that isn't a very committed date.

Just visioned this in my head, fucking lol.
Sony has Gamescom, TGS and Playstation Experience and they all have exclusives games in these conferences. I often wonder why they want to spread themselves so thin like hosting an annual Playstation Experience.
I am often not the demographic Sony is actively hitting as of the modern days but because their breadth and scale of games coming to their platforms, I can usually find more than a handful stuff that are appealing to me. This is including me making PC the defacto multiplats place.
Nintendo can't top this it's not possible but they don't need to. They just need to do their Nintendo thing and they'll be fine.

Horizon was the highlight of the show in my opinion... and what a show it was, holy shit!
How was it any sneakier than what any conference is. It's all about games in the future. FF7 being exclusive to their console first is huge, no matter how far off it is. Same goes with Shenmue (it's not coming to X1 as far as I know).
People know these things. They aren't stupid. Conferences are "shows" and "performances". Let's be real, we already know 90% of the titles people will buy, will be on both consoles. And what was exclusive to Sony, looked fucking great. TLG, UC4 + Horizon + No Man's Sky looked incredible. And not to mention Persona 5 which wasn't shown. I'll take those any day over Halo 5, Forza 6 and Gears of War. And UC4 showed Tomb Raiders little trailer up so badly. And I forgot about Street Fighter V and the beta in July.
So basically, you had both conferences showing key titles, and also "future promise"...and Sony just had better overall everything. Better conference pacing. Better OMG moments. Better future promise. Better immediate promise (MS has Sony beat this Holiday, but by Immediate, I mean within the next year and a half and not a complete TBD).
I don't see why it's fair to call Sony "sneaky" or any more sneaky then anyone else. Again, people aren't stupid and know that these things are far off into the future. Sony still had those announcements at their conference, or had major exclusivity for them. Sony's conference was just much much stronger.
The only thing MS had a 1 up on, was the BC feature. But I mean, that's also "future promise", as we have to wait and see how limited that list will be, and whether publishers will sign off on most games. It's a great feature no matter what (not having to pay for things you own)...but HOW BIG it ends up being, that's something off in the future. We don't know yet. And the Elite controller...$150...I mean it looks amazing, but $150!?
I own an X1 (playing ESO on it now), and I thought MS came out swinging hard. I thought there was no way Sony could match it. But after BC + The controller, it really kind of just..petered out for me, and was kind of a slow burn. Everything was really good/okay and solid. But it was just...that, solid. No games or moments were OMG for me. Rare was really cool, but outside of that, there was no OMG moments like Horizon, or UC4. Halo and Gears looks fine. They are doing what they always do. But nothing mind blowing (IMO).
So I fail to see how Sony was any more sneaky than MS (MS had that Holo lens thing, that felt very...scripted, and even if it wasn't, we didn't see enough of how it actually works in terms of playing the game with it. And how practical it would be to actually build things using that mode). Unless you think both conferences were Sneaky. But I don't really think either were. I think people know this is about future promise, as well as being a performance. And in terms of tangibel stuff, Sony just had a lot more OMG moments.

Excited as well, but I have mixed feelings about my beloved Shenmue. I thought that if they made Yu go on stage, it wouldn't be just to announce a kickstarter campaign.
Don't get me wrong, this has been one of the happiest E3 in a long time and only after watching both MS and PS conferences.
Good time to be a gamer indeed.

My favorite part: Right at the beginning one guy loudly yelled "Show Last Guardian!" the crowd laughed, then fuck me if the first game wasn't Last Guardian.
So glad i went to watch in the theater. It was an awesome experience. Will do it again next year.

Was Horizon the thing with the bow lady?
Dreams looked interesting at least.

Um... what about the multiple routes Bruce could have taken during the car chase?
That was really impressive and way beyond my expectations for this conference.
I remember talking with some friends after the Bethesda conference that it was likely going to be the highlight of the show this year, with the remainder of the platform holders either matching or being slightly worse than that conference.
I am very glad to be wrong. That was a great showcase and Sony really pulled no punches in delivering their content to their audience. Nintendo is going to have to do quite a bit tomorrow morning - and it's already pre-recorded - to really impress me now.

Why is shenmue 3 a Kickstarter?

We don't know if FF7 is coming to XB1 or just coming to PC after.
Shenmue 3 XB1 is not planned. It was said on the kickstarter.

Same for me. I get that those three are causing some heads to explode, but right now I just don't don't care that much until there's a finished product coming. I don't have tons of faith in Shenmue 3 being good, FF7 is something I don't know I'd care to play through again and I wonder if it'll even make 2017, and TLG has been in limbo for so long that I don't have much faith it'll live up to its predecessors. Perhaps it's just me getting more cynical/realistic about these things as I get older, but it takes a lot to really get me excited.
Horizon sorta did: brand new to me, looks great, looks very unique (at least stylistically), that's the sort of things that actually piques my interest.
Ditto for this. FF VII is a timed exclusive. Never really got into the Shenmue games. Probably most excited about The Last Guardian, but it's been "hyped" for so many years that it's going to have to be truly amazing to overcome it's checkered past.
With the 360 winning the last generation, for anyone who hasn't yet gotten a current gen console, backwards compatibility -- depending on how big the list grows to be -- is something that could sway a lot of buyers to MS.
But nice conferences by both Sony and MS.
To those of you who are complaining about the lineup for this year...exactly how many games do you want?
I'm not even a third of the way through The Witcher 3 yet and am still getting plenty of time out of Bloodborne before the DLC. MGS5 is coming out this fall and has more content than ever. Fallout 4 is going to be the biggest game of the generation so far. And then there's Battlefront, which, if it works at launch, can be played for an insane amount of time.
Do you want 7 games that can be played for 8-12 hours or a couple games that can be played for hundreds? At $60 a game I want to get my money's worth and get the most out of every game that I buy.

Really wish they did that theater near me. I will be talking about this e3 for ages.
Developer's choice.
Because Sony don't want to fund it.
Skies of Arcadia 2 lol
keep dreaming big Anihawk
after this year, anything is possible >
You must not like gaming much eh? Sony historically killed E3 tonight. They nailed the hardcore people with the holy trinity (FFVII R, TLG, Shenmue 3), showed SFV. They got Call of Duty, Destiny, and other 'bro' stuff too. It's hard to top this.

The people downplaying this are legit insane. This thread is now the world's #1 salt manufacturer.
Because it would lose money and no publisher wants to touch it.
Probably to gauge interest, no doubt its getting funded by Sony now imo.

Uhu. And why should I be interested in what MS has done if, again, I do not own an Xbox One.
And no, I don't play only first party titles and the above part of the post you quoted tells you that.

No Level 5 game either.
But Sony showed ton tonight and it's clear they have way more gooodies unannounced.

I waited so long for those titles, more Final Fantasy 7 and Shenmue ever since my teenage years and the next Team Ico game since the release of SOTC a decade ago.
Plus my favorite gaming franchise is ending with MGS5 this year. I'm now in my 30's, I don't know if I really have anymore gaming dreams like this anymore, what do I have left now?!
