That was a super weird conference. It was just an hour of trailers. Most of the games look cool but that was all really weird. I was confused at times and PSVR seemed totally glossed over and then it just ended with shooting zombies... Huh.

Horizon looked really cool. Hopefully, they execute on that.

The best announcement of E3 was Phantom Dust coming to PC and nobody even thought to put that in a conference. These are dark times.
Men with glasses gotta stick together. I guess Vinny could be part of the club, but he just ain't wearing his glasses.

I am also shocked. What did they want exactly? I mean pacing and content wise that was an amazing conference backed by an orchestra, TLG release date, Kojima on stage, I can't even list off everything.

Why do you think that? I didn't think it was bad, but definitely not the best. Even though God of War/Horizon look great.
There must be some angry air getting pumped into the Giant Bomb bubble.

I don't even own a PS4 and not many of those games interested me personally but I still felt like Sony has had the best showing so far

I have a bad feeling about the Kojima game.

Pretty much all the biggest news that came out of this E3 was PC related.
I feel like it's not being emphasized enough that MS totally made good on their promise to commit to PC.
The bike seems to play a big part of the game, Zombies that go down quick but are plenty in number. If you look past the demo play-style and look at the mechanics they showed there this could be offer some interesting scenarios.
I'm not saying it was amazing, but straight off dismissing it completely is crazy to me.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
That Kojima game won't come out until like 2025, right?

Everyone would be "what is that?" I do want to play it.

I'm honestly confused at how people thought that was a really good press conference, I think it goes both ways. All of it looked okay, but the only game that stood out to me was Horizon. Everything else was just alright.
Switch Sony and Bethesda and that's my ranking too

pip pip cheerio you slags!
Conference was absolutely stacked with nothing but games, in that regard great. God of war had a disappointing demo, and I'm upset about the diversion from fixed camera to maybe something less linear. Daysgone leaves a lot to be wanted, looks like an average TLoU cash in/Dead rising in not a good way. Kojima's thing is fucking bonkers and I love it.
Detroit still has mediocre Cage writing, and surprisingly COD looks interesting and cool again.
Resident Evil 7 VR is the closest we will ever get to PT and goddamn I want more of it, depending on demo impressions it seems it could be game of the show material.

Horizon, God of War, Resident Evil, Last Guardian. Everything else fell flat for me.
IMO they did a poor job at selling their VR headset. A really poor job. $400 is still a lot of money for what they're promising at launch. 50 is a big number but we all know from the Oculus and Vive launches that it'll be mostly crap and "experiences," and what they showed here wasn't great to say the least.

Don't worry about it. That's probably 4 years off.
It's also probably the most machismo game series out there. Each game ends with dudes on a skyrise rooftop ripping off their suitjacket and shirts, exposing their full back tattoos and beating each other the fuck up. At one point you fight off a giant Grizzly Bear with your fists. It's amazing.

Indies, new IP's, non-generic games, persona 5, neo stuff, actual VR games and a less serious tone.
Days Gone looks much more interesting than another Dead Rising rehash.
VR doesn't show well on screens. A release date is all they needed to drop tonight, and they did.

Trailers are pretty but we all know it'll be a while before we see most of them on our shelves.

Sony's conference pleased me the most by far.

Good lineup of games, but as a traditional conference, seemed kind of weird. Were the Giant Bomb guys kind of depressed on it?

Glorious conference when compared with the others, if only for the orchestra only. I really dug Kojima coming out to Fury Road's theme (it's his favorite movie from 2015). I'm interested in many things they showed off but I don't know why RE7 bothers me, that's totally not what I expected from a new RE(unless it's a reboot then that's fine)
e: I did notice not everything showed gameplay so going to keep expectations in check.

They didn't get that Crash game that never existed in the first place.

didn't surprise me. it's gonna be a while yet before it's anything but a home for paid tech demos.
I didn't have to listen to people explain shit to me or long speaking moments from execs or celebs. Just pure games.

Isn't this what people want every year? Literally wall to wall games, with a good amount of variety and some decent surprises from great studios. That was the best conference so far IMO.
It also has a shitload of reading. Dan has said before that kind of thing turns him off.

The Easy Allies thought it was amazing. All games, little talking. Huge announcements too.
