My scores for all E3 conferences
Bethseda - 8/10
Microsoft - 5/10
EA - 2/10
Ubisoft - 6/10
Sony - 9.5/10
Nintendo - 2/10
Square-Enix - 8/10
Square Enix absolutely killed it. What a conference. SE seems so focused and determined these days. What a nice change from the SE of a few years ago that was barely functional. Excellent diversity of Western and Japanese titles too.
Also, Hashimoto is the best.
Just kitten, I think all the conferences were good.
But EA > Ubisoft
was decent presentation for me, but mainly because I'm not into JC3, Hitman, DE
I was only hoping for a FF XII Vita port ....
backwards compatibility easily puts it up to 7/10
So, as far as PS4 JRPGs coming from Squeenix, we have...
- Nier
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake
- Final Fantasy XV
- Star Ocean 5
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- Project Satsuna
Am I missing anything? That's pretty damn good. Square-Enix cynicism: drastically reduced.
backwards compatibility easily puts it up to 7/10
rest is on point

Sony - A
Bethesda - B+
Square Enix - B
Microsoft - B-
Ubisoft - C
Nintendo - D+
EA - D
Mirrors Edge 2 was the saving grace for EA.
Nintendo is the real loser of this year's E3.
What a joke of conference.
Why was Nintendo's so bad? I didn't watch it...
It was an absolute shit show.
They bascially said: "Wii U and 3ds are dead, but NX is not ready yet"
Dragon Quest Heroes
FF Type 1 was teased
World of Final Fantasy
I reckon SaGa for Vita may also get a port for PS4 but we will see.
Then you realize they put out a vote and most of the titles on top are multiplatform and COD.
What make MS bad IMO was the " gameplay demos" for Gears 4 and tomb raider... they just went to point A to point B... that was a tech demos at best, that's why the score is so low for MS.
Damn I missed most of this one. I gotta catch up later. See a lot of high scores for it.
My ranks:
Sony - A
Square Enix - B
Bethesda - C+
Ubisoft - C
Microsoft - C
Nintendo - D+
EA - D
EA better than anyone... yeah I'm not going to say anything to you after this.
I agree, in hindsight, MS press conference was good, but admittedly gamewise, they didn't have any surprises.
Square-Enix - Some great content, but awful format. Short on real gameplay footage, high focus on trailers & talking heads.
+Just Cause 3 looks downright outstanding. Love it, love it, love it.
+Hitman sounds neat. A polished take on Early Access development?
+Sure, I guess Kingdom Hearts 3 is sharp.
+Deus Ex looks hot.
+Tomb Raider still fancy looking, but should it really be launching the same day as FO4?
+GO as a franchise sounds super promising.
-Bleh Final Fantasy
-Bleh JRPGS
-Bleh mobile
-Bleh Nier
-No gameplay demos, just trailers.
B-. Some stuff I really liked, buried in a bad conference structure & JRPGs.

So nothing Dragon Quest related mentioned, not even Dragon Quest Heroes, which ostensibly is coming out in the West this year? Or did I just tune in too late?
Dragon Quest Heroes was shown in a montage.They didn't even show Dragon Quest Heroes. And it will probably not be promoted at all. They really like to just pretend it doesn't exist in the west.
