What escort mechanics were in the last Dead Rising game?

I only watch it to get a bit of a closer look at the games, but you're right, it is pretty PR.
Sometimes you get demos of games just shown as trailers though.
Dan says it's worst sony conferences in years and is one of his biggest downers of the show, he is a monster clearly
The second mission in the opening is an escort mission

It seems like Sony is saving a lot of that stuff for PSX nowadays, though. They hype stuff up at E3, then at PSX a few months later we get dates, gameplay, devs on stage, tons of indie stuff.

I will put it up closer to going live if no-one has done it already.
Pretty sure both of those things are not that easy as you might think.
The post conference have them saying that they think the conference is lesser than the sum of its parts. But I agree, in general they were positive to mixed on almost everything. I just think a lot of people thought this was close to the best press conference ever, which is a view they obviously didn't share. But at the end of the day this is all extremely subjective.

I'm of the same mind. They'll save all that in-depth stuff for when PSX happens. This conference Sony just really wanted to go "Look at these tons of games!!!"
I didn't say it was easy
Ok now I understand where posters were talking about with this post show wrap up. But, I understand the team's perspective completely, especially with the VR games, despite loving the conferences myself. Jeff calling it only trailers and should have been uploaded as a 'Direct thing' and the mission statement aspect was an interesting perspective I didn't think of.

I don't understand why they'd leave this out?!
And this?! Cool shit.
Now this looks amazing and better than almost everything they showed. Incredible.
There were literally no tentpole games that Sony had for holiday last year. It was one of the most hollow E3 conferences I can remember. This year actually had exclusive stuff that will be playable this year or early next. To look favorably on the last few Sony press conferences is just....???How dare he dislike a conference!

My favourite thing at Sony was The Last Guardian.
It's under loads of pressure to deliver and people are lining up to kick it (and praise it out of hand) but it looked as impressive here as it ever did.
I am already kind of heartbroken at the big cat bird thing. I am going to be devastated if it has a sad ending.

I just loved that they didn't waste anytime talking. my only problem with the conference is that they didn't have a break between the VR stuff and Call of Duty to make it clear we are no longer showing VR games.
I thought it was their best conference in a while because of the lack of talking (and that orchestra was badass).
Now this is my kind of game, looks stunning.
The game looks better every time they show it and I'm really excited to see it come together. They also missed the chance to have a live orchestra play music from an Austin Wintory soundtrack.
This looks fantastic. Why wouldn't they show this during the conference?
European conferences in 2 months. I think these games will be blown out there (other than GR2 which will probably be mostly TGS).

Sony showed some neat stuff. still not sold on VR
Horzon looks like robot Witcher. also being excited for a David Cage game is wierd

Oh yeah, I can totally see that perspective too, even though I don't fully agree with it. But at the end of the day this is all some silly bullshit that people be upset about one way or the other.
Onto the real E3!
Abzu will be out before Gamescom though, so they should have at least shown that here.
Agreed.
I wouldn't mind a bit of context, though. Like I would be really interested in disapproving dad Kratos that was much more subdued and narrative focused with a decent amount of action and big boss fights. Which is most of what that gameplay segment implies. If however it turns into angry Kratos axing everything for the rest of the game then I can go back to not caring.
I definitely prefer no talking to Ubisoft-levels of talking, but I think something like the Doshonored gameplay walkthrough was a better middle ground.
He's been really good. Whenever east and west meet, I want Dan always sitting next to Austin - they're a great pairing.
Underwater Journey. Looks real good. Lot of good trailers were either in the pre-show or left out entirely. I'm sure we'll get a ton more over the next week after the show floor opens, just like most E3s.

Austin and Dan doing weird stuff on camera is fun.
It's a perspective that shows how out of touch Jeff is. Sony got much more publicity of out of the pomp and circumstance of this E3 press conference than they would have got from a Direct thing.
The videogame buying public were paying attention and overwhelmingly thought Sony had the best conference.

I think Dan's Twitter reaction is just a byproduct of being so shook by that Kojima mindfuck nonsense.

Was that it? And they removed escorting survivors. The trajectory seems improved, no?
Giant Bombs coverage of the pressers have been awesome so far.
The voice chat bit in the Ubi Wildlands presser was hilarious!

Yeah, I don't think a week or two after release makes a difference for a digital game though. As long as it gets it's moment, it'll find an audience.

The weird popcorn exchange last night after Sony conference oddly had me laughing. Dan just dumping popcorn from a coffee cup onto Austin's crotch... I couldn't help but laugh even thought it was nothing.

Yeah the Ghost Recon voice chat was great if only for Brad completely losing it.

They've really been great, both with the twinkie/tableware/beer shenanigans and just Austin's general reactions to the shit that comes out of Dan's mouth.
I would watch the shit out of that buddy cop show.

I mean, I kinda want that too. Not pie charts and nap time with Pele and drawn-out multiplayer matches, but bringing the devs on to talk for a couple of minutes about what makes their game cool? Sure, it's part of what makes E3 stage shows different than just watching a bunch of trailers on youtube. Pretty much the only thing Sony did that couldn't be replicated with a Youtube playlist was the orchestra, and while that was cool it's not something that gave any more insight into the games. I have to echo the comments about the VR segment -> CoD transition being confusing, too, and I think the montage bit at the end should've had the names of the games being showed in the corner or something.
Did you really just link a Twitter poll with 5000 votes to prove a point?
5000 is a pretty good sample.
Random internet polls are never a good sample of anything because you have no idea who voted, if it's been brigaded etc. Sanders probably won every single online poll against Hillary this year, just like Ron Paul did 8 years ago.
But regardless of that poll I have no doubt the majority thought Sony "won" E3, but then again that's difficult to separate from the PS4 being what the majority of people own this gen. My main point is that this is all pretty silly.
Weren't you doing this last night too, posting Twitter comments as evidence of how wrong they are? This seems like a really insecure way to respond to their reactions, moreso since you can't seem to let it go.
