Support NeoGAF

[Lingitiz]

Good show but not a homerun. A lot of the games are pretty far off with not even a vague year at the least. Horizon looks rad, Detroit looked better than I was expected, and GoW looks intriguing.

I don't know what to think of Days Gone. Seemed somewhat generic but I'll keep an open mind.

 

[Hatty]

God of War looked completely different from other God of Wars.

Yeah, it looked like Norse Last of Us

 

[Fushichou187]

Can't believe they didn't show the Neo. Weak.

They put out a statement saying they wouldn't talk about it. Did you miss that?

Sony had a stinker, all their big hitters got shown up by COD in space, that was the only interesting thing shown all night.

Gran Turismo only shown for 5 seconds... oh how the mighty have fallen.

You need to be committed. It's for your own good.

 

[Audible Phonetics]

Tflops vs Games

hmmmmm

 

[Omnistalgic]

Doesn't this deserve it's own thread?

its already up

 

[Zetta]

This was a great conference but I'm sadden because of the poll ; ; .

 

[boredandlazy]

Well it was pretty underwhelming

Yep I agree. Giantbomb is pretty underwhelming.

 

[LunaticLMD]

Great conference.

 

[Mass Effect]

Horizon 3 - 2016
DR4 - 2016
Gears - 2016
Recore - Q1 2017
Halo early Q1 2017
Scalebound - Q2 2017

Recore is 2016 (Sept 13)

 

[The Omega Man]

Nothing on par with We Happy Few, Sea of thieves, or Scorpio. MS won E3 for me.

Good for you, it's great to have options.

[demosthenes]

Is there a place I can watch this? Want to watch it shortly or tomorrow morning.

 

[tmac456]

lol @ people disappointed TLOU 2 wasn't shown.

like, really? they just released UC4. zero chance they were even gonna tease TLOU

 

[UraMallas]

DR4 is exclusive? News to me.

It's console exclusive so take that for what you will. Also, that list is off as Recore is coming out in 3 months.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Yeah, it looked like Norse Last of Us

And that gives me an erection.

 

[Bluenoser]

XB1 and windows 10 I think. God I'm just so underwhelmed so far. Hopefully DMC5 is announced.

Where are you getting that? MS was very clear about which games during their conference were exclusive. For DR4 they simply said "Coming to XB1 and Windows 10" not exclusive.

 

[Calm Mind]

Nintendo must be shitting themselves after watching horizon demo, basically doing what they want with much better fidelity

 

[NullPointer]

We're people expecting Jesus Christ to resurrect during this conference or something? It was great, they should nothing but games!

Nothing to show for Titanfall? GT Sport? No Man's Sky? Uncharted DLC? Destiny? Tomb Raider? No more indies or other games coming out this year? Nothing for the holiday?

Its was streamlined, but too much so imho.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wow, I just realized....No Red Dead!

It's obviously coming though, so no biggie.

 

[Haint]

They definitely cut some Neo info. This is so short and end in a weird way. Maybe they find Neo not good enough compared to MS's new console.

Came here to post the same thing. Yea they definitely cut some stuff. Understandable they didn't want to announced a new console 1/2 as powerful in back to back conferences.

 

[Skux]

That was a weird damn conference, even though a lot of the games and announcements were actually quite good.

God of War looked 10 times more interesting than I thought it would, Horizon still looks amazing, full Crash remaster is honestly better than a new game, Detroit looks like David Cage is going back to a more a Heavy Ran/Fahrenheit style game which I'm all for, a high budget Spiderman game could actually be pretty good and I'm all for seeing what crazy shit Kojima has going on.

But all in all the whole thing just felt disjointed and almost left you with a lot more questions than answers, which feels like the complete opposite of what should be happening. They honestly needed more people telling me about what their overall vision was and about the games themselves. And why was it so short in general? Sony usually do around 2 hours, this was less than 75 minutes. Overall the conference felt like either an experiment gone wrong or just like they didn't have enough time to make a decent, coherent conference.

Why waste time telling people when you can show them.

 

[Raw64life]

Better than the Xbox conference, but not great. Too much VR crap, not enough Japanese games for my liking.

 

[Firmus_Anguis]

They showed games. The games looked amazing. I'm more than satisfied! You know it's a good conference when you're sad it didn't last longer. And what's wrong with games being inspired by TLOU? I enjoyed this. And Death Stranding! <3

 

[Fusebox]

That was my favourite conference so far, slick and exciting.

 

[weekev]

What the hell happened to GoW?? Where's the anger goddammit.

He was teaching his son to hunt. Norse god is gonna come and take his son. Thats gonna make him pretty angry....

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Confrence was great! 8/10 better then anything else so far at E3. Sony has tons of stuff they didn't show too. They are pacing themselves with PSX and TGS.

 

[Nocturno999]

Tflops vs Games

hmmmmm

But most of these games scream 2018 release.

Where is the FFVII R and Shenmue 3 footage?

Absolutely disappointing conference. Horizon footage was great though.

 

[SmackAttack]

I might not have liked everything they showed but as a conference, they really showed how to do one right. Fasted paced with game after game after game. Well done, Sony.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to start planning on how to get a PS4 for The Last Guardian.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Well it was pretty underwhelming

I respectfully disagree. Any conference where Resident Evil looks interesting again is a-ok in my book.

 

[Daft Punk]

Not as crazy as last year and bit of an abrupt ending, but man by far the best conference of this E3. God of War? My movie theater exploded several times especially during RE7. Great conference.

 

[GravityMan]

Good conference, although I expected a bit more. The orchestra was the best part. I like that the presenters mostly stayed out of the way and let the games do the talking.

Of course, this conference wasn't as megaton-y as last year's. I think the biggest surprise was Resident Evil 7, especially the way it looked.

I'm now officially sold on Horizon and Detroit. Looking forward to trying out the RE7 demo. Keeping an eye on God of War 4, but the seemingly slower gameplay gives me a bit of pause. Looking forward to learning more about Death Stranding. Days Gone looks meh. The Last Guardian...I'll probably wait for reviews and impressions. The PSVR stuff wasn't great, but I was actually expecting worse. No interest in PSVR though.

The Sony conference and the PC Gaming Show were far better than the other conferences.

 

[UraMallas]

Where are you getting that? MS was very clear about which games during their conference were exclusive. For DR4 they simply said "Coming to XB1 and Windows 10" not exclusive.

Ybarra confirmed in the after show they are publishing it. It's at least timed. The box art also has 'Xbox One Exclusive' on it.

Edit:

 

[Gurish]

XB1 and windows 10 I think. God I'm just so underwhelmed so far. Hopefully DMC5 is announced.

Where can DMC5 be announce at this point? E3 is over besides Nintendo.

 

[Omnistalgic]

I could be sympathetic to those complaints, even if they did seem a bit salty.

This was just waves of games. Exclusives, no Kickstarters, etc.

Yup, it was very very Sony. Their studios pretty much work on AAA single-player experiences, you are either a fan of them or not. I did think ending on BloodBorne 2 or something like that would have been more hype. Days Gone looks amazing, but we’ve seen enough Zombie games, and it wasn’t anything super interesting. The trailer about him missing his GF was more interesting than that.

Horizon looks legit like it could be a western version of Monster Hunter though, I’m just praying GG doesn’t skimp out on the difficulty.

Arthur Gies running his mouth on Twitter and downplaying the Sony conference.

Oh lord

 

[Tangled Up in Blue]

2013 - Wrestlemania X7
2014 - WM X8
2015 - WM XIX
2016 - WM 21

I don't follow wrestling, but I guess XIX was the best one ever?

[UpwindPoet24]

So I was at the theater experience... It was FUCKING LIT GUYS

 

[LookAtMeGo]

It wasn't that great of a conference lol

But it was tho.

 

[PistolGrip]

The best conference I have ever watched from execution to exclusive content. SONY has been on a real tear the past couple of years. Great job to the folks there

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

Tflops vs Games

hmmmmm

This is disingenuous, and you know it.

 

[Katze mit Hut]

Arthur Gies running his mouth on Twitter and downplaying the Sony conference.

Oh lord

Its his job.

 

[diaspora]

I wonder if anything they announced is coming before the next E3.

 

[Chris R]

Really bummed that the only game I'd want to play that Sony showed was Call of freaking Duty

 

[TheYanger]

Better than the Xbox conference, but not great. Too much VR crap, not enough Japanese games for my liking.

No way, Horizon and GoW were pretty cool, the rest was just trailers or nonsense. This was fucking weak.

 

[Chiggs]

Really good showing by Sony. Very impressed with the titles shown.

 

[Dinjooh]

What the hell happened to GoW?? Where's the anger goddammit.

You ought to read the blog post from Cory Barlog. It touches on that exactly.

Why waste time telling people when you can show them.

Like, that was one of the best parts of the show.

No developer talking over the game, just the games speaking for themselves. Perfect.
