Support NeoGAF

[Riposte]

This made Nintendo's conference look absolutely fantastic.

There wasn't a Nintendo "conference".

EDIT: There are people on NeoGAF have a very hard time adjusting to things that strays of the formula and ideal of big stages and trailers.

That was actually a good show, though I think it needs to be a bit more focused to get more in over the course of two hours. Day9 did a fantastic job with the talk show format though. Probably needs a director or something in his ear pushing shit along.

 

[Tektonic]

But.. But...

Didn't all these cool guys post a website about some new 3rd game coming out?

 

[Madouu]

I wasn't interested in most of the games shown and yet, this has been the most fun conference for me. Day9 was great.

 

[OnionPowder]

Still waiting for Gaben to show up

 

[iNvid02]

Day9 got it done, bring him back next year!

 

[Trago]

Killer show, great variety of games. Needs a bit of fine tuning, but for the PC, I'd prefer this format over the super scripted format of the other conferences.

GOOD SHOW!!

 

[Vamphuntr]

It was really too long and poorly paced for the hand they had. No really big announcements either.

 

[Besthelboy]

Thank you to everyone who was involved, this was great and I hope the attitude is the same next year.

 

[Chaos17]

That was nice conference, not many big games showed up (fuckers) but it had a lot of heart. Thanks to every devs who made the effort to come and the host, I had a nice time.

Please do it again next year ʕु-̫͡-ʔु”♬

Sony giving PC more support than Microsoft.

The same way Microsoft is giving the Vita more support than Sony.

 

[Sorral]

So I guess if PC and PS4 simulatneous release I guess that might indicate XB1 version ?

The announcement for the release date will be simultaneous. Not the release date itself I thought.

 

[Tacitus_]

smh at people hoping for HL3

Valve isn't even at E3, they're too busy making hats to make games, let alone to come talk about them.

 

[Tabris]

Two and a half hours, actually. That's 150 minutes.

So far, there are 29 guests. On average, that is ~5 minutes per guest/presentation.

I mean, I don't know how much faster you expect them to go. Really the only way to cut the time would be to show less things, and they're already doing a disservice to PC gaming by "only" showing 25ish games.

This is why the other conferences have montages and then save the "developer come up and talk about your game" to the tent pole items and the new big announcements.

 

[Syphon Filter]

This was good, looking forward to next year. The pace despite it being long was solid and i like the style of trailer>dev speaking>gameplay.

 

[thepotatoman]

I really enjoyed it. Hope they do another one next year.

They pretty solidly covered the things that make PC gaming what it is in 2015, and I like that stuff.

 

[DSix]

They managed to make Nintendo not the worst conference.

 

[Tainted]

HL3.....
Why do I keep doing this to myself?

UUUgghhhhh.....

I'm fairly convinced at this point there will never be another Half Life game....the only real tease we had was Gabe forging that crowbar, but that was just a troll

 

[Herne]

Well, if their goal was to have nobody watch next year's PC Gaming Show, I think they pretty much hit their goal right in the bullseye there. What an amazing waste of time.

Colour me not at all surprised.

 

[ShogunX]

Even the people watching in the studio kind of got up slowly in a ''this isn't the real ending right?'' Some proper confused and where the fuck is Half Life 3 faces going on at the end.

 

[Saven]

Well, if their goal was to have nobody watch next year's PC Gaming Show, I think they pretty much hit their goal right in the bullseye there. What an amazing waste of time.

This. What a borefest this was. I wish I had watched the Warriors/Cavaliers game instead.

Cool host though, he should do more video game-relating things in the future.

 

[gus_888]

As a man that just bought a gaming laptop.. Meh.

 

[chaosblade]

If they do another one, the only things they really need to change are the length, and maybe try to get more exclusive announcements.

I was kind of expecting a disaster, but for the most part that was pretty good.

 

[Weetrick]

They announced a new theme park sim game, which is my personal Half Life 3.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

I'm so happy lol

 

[fader]

I hope Day9 gets the recognition he deserves for hosting this conference.

the dude is amazing. The Main reason why I kept watching.

 

[Syf]

That was good, just too long. Tighten it up and make sure it's less than two hours and I think this can become a thing.

 

[wamberz1]

I hope Day9 gets the recognition he deserves for hosting this conference.

Absolutely, hope he comes back next year.

 

[Scotch]

gg, day9. Very good first effort and looking forward to seeing it be even better next year. Loved the laid back format, a perfect fit for PC.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

1 more thing! 1 more thing! 1 more thing!

The stream will come back on, just watch!

 

[Sax Russel]

Pleased with the show. Good stuff.

 

[Bizzquik]

I enjoyed myself.
There was some good stuff shown, and I liked the relaxed - but supportive - vibe.

I imagine the profile of the show will grow; I expect even better reveals next year.

 

[Pacbois]

Actually not a bad show but yeah length was an issue. Wouldn't mind have a bunch of shorter shows like this throughout the year, that would be way better for that format.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Super shaky, but Day9 managed to save those awkward moments better then most of the pros did during the other conferences. Hoping this happens again next year with more experience. Cut down the time a bit, beef up the tech, etc.

 

[Ziffles]

Valve wasn't even a sponser? Well that should've said everything right there.

 

[Instro]

The content wasn't the most exciting stuff, but that's to be expected considering its the first go around. The format was great, and Day9 did really well, so I hope they continue to do these. Maybe on future shows we can get some truly megaton announcements.

 

[Kieli]

I liked this conference.

It's a different sort of experience from the bombast and megatons of the big 3.

There's more than enough room for a PC game show type of thing.

I guess what some people are being a stickler about is the fact that it's "marketed" as a conference when it feels much more like an post-E3 debrief.

 

[ashecitism]

Day9 did a good job.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

People only have themselves to blame if they're disappointed about no Half life 3 announcement.

 

[Aikidoka]

This was really awesome. I love that we actually got more interview content than just hype trailer after hype trailer. For most of these games I actually learned some useful details about it and gained insight into what the devs are trying for, which is something really missing from press conferences.

 

[questionmark]

While plenty of room for improvement, I enjoyed it enough that I hope they'll repeat and improve on the show next year.

 

[low-G]

This made Nintendo's conference look absolutely fantastic.

Whoa now. The ONLY difference was Nintendo had puppets.

 

[Soyongdori]

Good show but way too long, Nintendo conference is still confirmed to be the absolute worst out of all.

 

[Alebrije]

Well , hours ago my relase wish list was :

TLG
FF7 REMAKE
SHENMUE 3
HL3

Now is just :

HL3

3 OF 4 on just one E3 is great...

 

[Omega]

No, it really, really wasn't.

Well, depends if you think all conferences are great. Sure, in some grand scale the Nintendo conference was great, too, as was the Oculus conference. But to most people, this was a huge fucking waste of our time.

If I had KNOWN what this would be, I absolutely would not have watched. But how can I know without watching?

i'm not sure what, or why people like you were expecting differently.

PC is an open platform, there's not one corporation that invests hundreds of millions in games and products that they need to sell you. This was always going to be more of an informative look at PC hardware/software instead of a hype show.

 

[oceanskie]

I seriously kept expecting Gabe to walk out up until the very end.

This.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Man that was pretty boring, if it wasn't for Day9 being awesome as usual, this would have been a train wreck.

 

[Kaydan]

It was rough yes but entertaining, and with good bits of information and reveal. Shout out to Day9 who ran the show like a true champion!

I expect a great show next year. Better planning, better visibility and better production value! I also expect a lot more companies to hold of some of their announcements for the next PC gaming show.

 

[TheAdmiester]

"Where was Half Life"

 

[Delstius]

Not many new interesting content to see but in the end it was a decent conference. I hope they'll continue next year with more announcements and more or less the same format.

Spoiler

And a less boring/cringe/annoying start... seriously.
