Normally, I don't bother taking a day off to watch E3. But due to my new job rarely giving me downtime and because I want to deal with personal problem, I thought I'd take a day off to enjoy E3.

Wow, am I glad I did. That rec leave wasn't wasted at all. I'd never guessed I'd be treated to triple whammies in one conference.
 
I love how the theme of Sony was give fans what they fucking want. How hard is it? For a whole generation they wanted The Last Guardian. For a decade they have a wanted FFVII remake. For 14 years they have wanted Shenmue 3.

Too bad GabeN is sitting on a mountain of cash and can't be bothered to follow suit.

Very well summarized.
I was sleeping so woke up to the good news but this is truly a nice time to be gaming.

Now I hope thé FFVII remake will have some modifiers, but that is juste me being picky I am already happy. :)
 
I gotta admit I was pretty shocked when I saw FF7 and Shenmue on the big stage...hell I didn't even think TLG was going to show. Then the Horizon and Uncharted trailers, No Mans Sky, Dreams..Damn Sony really put on a show.
 
Dreams isn't not notable just because you don't want it to be. Its a AAA game following up a multi-million selling franchise.

Verendus words were very clear though, notable as in it will make a lot of people talk about it. For example: R&C is not notable according to him.

I'm not trying to shit on the game, it's just this game doesn't fall under "notable" description.
 
Went to the conference and started rewatching reactions and videos of the trailers, just to realize I didn't hear over half of anything from cheering or crying inside the Sports Arena. One of the hypest events I've ever gone to.
 
Seriously?

Hey i'm not hating on the ps4 they messed me up when the first final fantasy game came on and was saying no way over and over again when ff7 came on. Its just that i know for me i was sold on this console based off of that evil nostalgia marketing for the ps1 that they had when this console was first announced.

Very impressive showing from Sony - easily one of (if not) the best E3 press conferences I've ever seen. A+
Agree 100%. The best conference I have ever seen, at least in terms of megatons, diversity and fan reactions.
 
Sony 4/10.

+ Horizon
------------------------------
- Trying to garner hype for a game 7 years overdue, not coming this year
- Final Fantasy 7 remake as one of the biggest events, not exclusive.
- Not a single mention of Vita except for a picture and a weak montage.
- Literally launching a kickstarter live on a E3 press conference, made me embarrassed for them.
- Uncharted 4 as their big showrunner, a game we have already been teased, had gameplay demos of.
- One (1) new exclusive game was shown.
- BETAS BETAS BETAS
- CONSOLE EXCLUSIVITY

I would say c+ but people are flipping out over what looks a fairly standard conference. I personally think BC was the biggest announcement so far this year. Imo of course.
 
Another reason i love this conf is how well paced the conf gets. Start with The Last Guardian, Horizon then FFVII remake, Shenmue 3 happened and UC4 finished with the strong vibe.
It's great, packed with nostalgia and full of surprise. A++++
 
As someone from the UK who just woke up... first thing I see is Final Fantasy 7 remake, Shenmue 3 and the last guardian threads.

Sony you magnificent bastards

C+?, standard conference?, BC biggest announcement of the year?... *rolls on the floor laughing*
 
Lots of good announcements, although the show needed more awesome new indie reveals. That's my jam.
 
Haha, love Mike

Wonder what it feels to be EU GAF, waking up, checking GAF and looking at the gaming front page right now.

I imagine it's like waking into a world where everything is possible and all your dreams came true overnight.
 
I just got the chance to watch the conferences.

I was cheering for MS when they announced backward compatibility and then game after game. I didn't think it would be topped.

Then I finished the Sony conference. I'm in tears guys. Literally. Decades of game love, across all the platforms, and Sony megaton'd me in the face with what I thought was impossible. Then again. Then again.

FF7 is my GOAT. Shenmue was a dream from another life. And TLG... My jaded heart had stopped hoping entirely.

Is this real? Did today happen? I have to go watch it again...
 
While it was a pretty fun and exciting conference, I can't help but feel a little disappointed at lack of Bloodborne DLC and Dark Souks 3 gameplay.
 
That may be your opinion but regardless, the takeaway here is Sony listened and delivered on the most wanted games practically. This E3 was quite shocking, literally.
The FFVII Remake reveal was glorious, don't get me wrong. But I wasn't particularly impressed by Sony's own output or anything. Then again, a few of the titles others enjoy like Uncharted do little for me. And The Last Guardian looked kinda dated and boring despite it being some huge thing for many.

So yea, just my opinion. Was a good show, but didn't feel overly special.
 
SCE imply at least, Sony being the publisher. FF titles are published by SE, Shenmue is a kickstarter game which means Sony is not the publisher.

FF7 likely involved Sony's backing just like SFV as someone implied. And you really think Shenmue 3 costs 2mil to make?
 
I wonder if Sony will ever top the hype that was this conference, wow so many bombs were dropped.

Quite surprised at how little screen time Morpheus had, when are they gonna fully reveal the thing?
 
The Last Guardian, Horizon Zero Dawn, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Shenmue 3, Star Wars Battlefront 3, Uncharted 4....

Damn you Sony, I can't keep up with all these GAF threads... Info overload. Help me.
 
TLG and FF VII Remake a freaking huge for me!! Also Horizon looked pretty cool! Not really interested in Shenmue 3. I check out gameplay videos of the two predecessors because of the hype on here several times and it looked absolutely terrible. So I really don't know what to expect from this game.

Anyway, I might be getting a PS4 in late 2016/early 2017!

I really got into gaming about over a decade ago.

The Last Guardian's sole existence had been a running joke for the better part of the last decade and we got a gameplay demo.

FF7 remake had been one of top fan requests every single year, but the use of pre-rendered backgrounds and videos made it harder than in case of most other remakes.

Shenmue 3 was a pipe dream. Using KS is kinda scummy, but Shenmue 3 actually exists. People were clamoring for it for the last 15 years, even though deep inside they knew the series is most likely too costly, too ambitious to ever return. Even worse since Shenmue 2 ended on a cliffhanger.

This... there is no comparison. This is a monumental set of games. This is a lineup that you joke about on April 1, knowing it cannot possibly exist. This is as if Dr. Dre's detox, Neon Genesis Evangelion live action remake and Half Life 3 all released on a single day while Mars landing took place. This is an absolute destruction of everyone's expectations.
 
SCE imply at least, Sony being the publisher. FF titles are published by SE, Shenmue is a kickstarter game which means Sony is not the publisher.

You really think a Shenmue game will cost 2 million Sony is funding it in some way, they just want to see the receipts before taking the plunge.

Just watched the conference since I overslept the live stream. All I can say is holy shit, TLG, FF7 remake and Shenmue 3 in one conference. Valve, step up yo game.

Also Uncharted 4 looks so good
 
SCE imply at least, Sony being the publisher. FF titles are published by SE, Shenmue is a kickstarter game which means Sony is not the publisher.

I thought kickstarter goal was just to gauge interest. Like bloodstained. If it reaches its goal itll get funded i think thats what this tweet means.

Really Horizon was the best announcement. That game looks absolutely amazing and I want to know more as soon as possible.

I'm really happy about the trifecta finally happening too, but not quite as excited now that the hype has died down:

Shenmue 3 is pretty niche and I wasn't really a fan of the first two...but I am happy for the fans nonetheless.

I've already played FF7 before and it seems like it is -very- early days, which is always trouble when we're talking about Square. That said I am very interested to see what is changed or added from the original and I'll probably end up grabbing it.

The Last Guardian looks almost identical to the last time we saw it. I am very excited for it just based on how good the last two games from this team were, but that was a long time ago. I'm still willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now though.

Overall I am very pleased these 3 games were finally announced (or re-announced) but the best part of this is the pay off to over a decade's worth of hype rather than each of the 3 games actually being something that is going to be huge for PS4. Especially since FF7 and Shenmue 3 are going to be on PC also.
 
Just got home and watched the whole thing. Holy shit literally the most mind blowing conference. It's like they put together a fantasy list and checked every box. FF7 Remake, Shenmue 3, The Last Guardian!

I can't afford an PS4 (own an Xbox One and Wii U) and I'm so jealous of every PS4 owner right now. Hopefully I can pick one up cheap in a few years to play all these games!

10/10 conference, puts MS's to shame.
 
I'd like to remind everyone shitting on this conference that we had a freaking joke poll asking which of the games we'd like to see -- and we got ALL OF THEM.
