They should sell Mizuguchi's glowy vibratey tinfoil suit as an Limited Edition bonus.

Ricochet isn't a game. It's an E-Sport. Valve is in the business of E-Sports. Ergo, Ricochet 2 is Valve's next project. You heard it here first.
Thanks for the tip!

Destiny Racing is the closest we get to a new F-Zero or Wipeout.

The more PSVR stuff Sony shows, the more it's looking like VR Jr. I hope people won't be put off because they only see the limited capabilities of VR on PS4.

Ni no Kuni 2 looks really nice. Really captured the Ghibli look.

Epic games is here

It'll also likely be Junior priced in comparison with the Senior PC options, so I figure it'll be a pretty good way to segment the VR market.

It'll be interesting to see how it's priced and packaged. There's the headset, camera, and various demos are played with two Move controllers. Can't be too inexpensive.

That was 2 hours of nothing.
Considering Sony are now spreading their announcements out over E3, Paris Games Week and PSX, I thought it was pretty good. New exclusive Ni No Kuni, new Rez in VR, exclusive Psychonauts spinoff, FF7 Remake gameplay,
Destiny racing

Yes, but segment it in a bad way. Many peoples' first experience with VR may be PSVR, and I'm afraid their reactions to the paired-down visuals will be "this is what VR games look like?" and they'll write it off.

It was fine, but wow that VR stuff put me to sleep until the golf trailer.
In case you didn't know and own a Wii U: FAST Racing Neo releases on December 10th

Nioh was about the only thing that got my attention. VR games looked ok but graphics looked like a big downgrade from the pc stuff. It was expected, but it was still kind of surprising to see.
Yeah, we'll see. I guess it's now also looking pretty likely that they're using some kind of box for extra processing power? I'm sure it'll be pretty costly, but did you see those minimum specs for Elite Dangerous Horizons VR? That looked even costlier to me.
I think those worries are exaggerated. Those of us who go for PSVR over the other options will be exactly those who are the least concerned about mindblowing graphics. Like, the PS4 is doing pretty well saleswise while underperforming heavily technically against even midrange PCs. Large segments of the market don't primarily care about that, I think PSVR will be fine for them/us.

Yep, it was bound to happen. I've been saying for months to expect PSVR games to suddenly start to look much worse as Sony is forced to stop lying about the PS4 VR experience.
I hope you're right. I guess my concern is that people may expect the same level of fidelity they see in PS4 games which can't be achieved in VR, while PC games don't have to make those concessions (if you have the hardware to back it up, of course).

It's an overall great conference for me, excited for 5 - 6 games and they obviously announced more then that so it's pretty diverse, VR looked meh though however it's hard to judge by looking. Another thing is that Gio mentioned they snagged a game from the list yet they didn't even mention what it is, either it's Crash going to be announced at E3 or it was a Nino Kuni sequel. Loved seeing Jeff getting giddy over Tron and Rez, as soon as they came on I was like "I hope the cameras point at Jeff or something"
Nothing that made me anymore excited for next year.

Yakuza 0 said Console Exclusive so that's coming to PC at some point.
Wasn't it Yakuza?

Hmm, maybe but they didn't make smart ass comments like "CROSS THAT ONE OFF THE LIST NOW, RIGHT GUYZ?" so, I don't think so but it could be. Who knows, he just mentioned it and then he said but first "lets blah blah blah"
It was good. You'd have to have very limited tastes in videogames to not find any of today's announcements or footage exciting.
Yeah, who knows, time will tell for sure. And it's not that far away now either way.
Well there's no accounting for taste, I guess.
But when even Jeff "Jaded" Gerstmann is going crazy with excitement on Twitter, it might be time to start considering recalibrating your expectations? 
Yeah. I forgot about that 2D Soulslike too, that looked pretty damn interesting as well.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
I said it in the Synchtube but the FF7 stuff was actually exciting. They showed real footage and everything.
The conference was decent but spaced out too much and very badly orchestrated. The ending in particular was tragic.
Oh and that Team Ninja Dark Souls-Tenchu thing looked intriguing.

I can't help but think all these vr companies are being overly ambitious expecting people to by dual motion controllers on top of an already pricey headset. I feel like it's a much easier sell to developers and consumer if you focus first on games with a traditional controller.
But then again I've never actually tried any of them so fucked if I know.
