Which were already announced

I'd rather see good games that were already announced (and Days Gone) than some shit I don't care about

saying that I think Sony had the best showing, personally

the best thing at MS was DBZ and that's not exclusive

 

[TraBuch]

Sony showed alot of games that looked great that most of which are exclusive to their system. And everyone is complaining?

Everyone knew about those games. If those were mostly world premieres, people would be freaking out.

 

[Heroman]

Yeah there was maybe 2-3 announcements that hyped me up.

Had fun watching but definitely not as good as last year.

We still got Nintendo but...Idk we'll see.

Nintendo has Mario which looks to be game of the show going by how good that team is.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I read what Sony announced and it seems kind of flat. Excited to watch it, though, in case that changes my mind.

 

[border]

Honestly who saw Rabbids x Mario game being the game of show coming?

Unless it plays crazy-good, I can't see that happening. The premise is audacious, but that alone really won't propell it to huge accolades.

I'm honestly having a hard time imagining what will get Game of Show though. Nothing in any of the major press conferences seemed like a big contender.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Which were already announced

If a game looks good it looks good no? Why does being surprised mean so much? So weird. If they showed more new stuff, they'd have to show them again next year and you'd have the same complaint.

 

[faridmon]

Guess I'm one of those try hards that enjoy depth in my SRPGs, and I would absolutely make fun of someone watching an Rabbids animated movie unironically.

What they showed was Level 1 of a supposedly 40 hour game....

 

[VeryGooster]

Cool of Bluepoint to bring SOTC to PS4. Too bad Konami sucks now because I wish Bluepoint could bring MGS HD Collection over.

 

[MassiveNights]

Which were already announced

It was pretty unrealistic to expect Sony to keep up the volume of announcements they have been throwing out there given they have half a dozen big exclusives out there that they need to see through. They intentionally stacked up up some years in advance.

Gameplay demos of their big three over the next 18 months seemed appropriate to me!

 

[CambriaRising]

They showed the same games last year.

They still dont have dates for them a year later.
Thats dumb as fuck.

Yeah I love when games release too early and unfinished.

I'd much rather not have them show any exclusive games at all and announce a new $500 console

 

[Salarians]

would it have been so hard to have someone on stage for two minutes to try to convince me to care about Days Gone?

 

[DeadlyVirus]

It's only $100 more than the Pro and $200 more than Switch, lol. The fuckin PSVR is $500 too. People are treating the price like it's $800 or something.

$500 really did wonders for them the first time, didn't it?

Edit: PSVR is not a console

 

[Chumley]

I'm betting next year is way better. TLOU 2, FF7R, Resident Evil 2 remake

 

[Heroman]

It crazy and some what sad that the DBZ game is the most talked about thing at e3 on gaf.

 

[Tagyhag]

Nintendo has Mario which looks to be game of the show going by how good that team is.

I'm hyped for Mario but I feel like maybe that's going to be more a Treehouse thing?

Would be weird to cut an already limited amount of time just for it.

 

[FHIZ]

Honestly who saw Rabbids x Mario game being the game of show coming?.

Still got Mario Odyssey for the attendees to lose their shit over.

That said, did not see that game being an Xcom game coming.

 

[Hindl]

It's sad that Nintendo could possibly have the best "conference" even if they go conservative. An impressive showing of Mario and Xenoblade plus 1 surprise would do it for me

 

[ScaryShark]

E3 should have a level of pomp that Sony really lacked this year. There was no surprise.

Ubisoft had the best overall presentation to me this year. A lot of different stuff I want to play and ending on an amazing moment.

 

[Hagi]

Man all these presentations have been crap. Thank god the Nintendo Direct is only half an hour.

 

[disappeared]

Was listening to the 1099 podcast earlier today from about a week ago and Jeff kinda predicted what he echoed at the end of tonight's stream, that this was a very "mid-gen" type series of conferences.

Yup.

I think we were all sort of spoiled early on this gen with Sony's first couple conferences cuz they were in firing-everything mode. Now we're three or four years in and everything feels like it's simmered down somewhat. Not exactly a lull, but just a tonal change.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

I'm betting next year is way better. TLOU 2, FF7R, Resident Evil 2 remake

lol

Wolfenstein had a LOT of hype behind it for the trailer, so if there is a "Trailer of the show" that'd be it.

(I didn't see the devolver one yet)

Prepare to bump UBI soft from their number one position.

 

[faridmon]

Yeah that's why I'm so cautious.

I'm sure it'll be a packed 30 minutes but that's so short.

And I don't know what they could do to blow me away.

Spoiler

A new F-Zero

To be fair, as someone who owns a Switch, I can't think of any other game beside Xenoblade and Marop X Rabbids that would make me very excited. I don't even like F-Zereo and Metroid games....

:/

 

[Curufinwe]

can't wait until the real e3 starts

where everyone shits on these conferences for 3+ hours on a couch while drinking

Don't know if I can listen to the GB guys talking shit about production after their stream went south multiple times. They can't help if the building they are in has an internet problem, but the bottom line is the experience tonight was very poor.

 

[border]

What games from the Sony conference still don't have release dates?

 

[Mr. F]

I'm really hoping someone on staff gets a chance to see A Way Out

 

[Harp]

Many games that were shown off a year ago or were already known.

So What? They all AAA games lol Crazy. They have 2 more major Conferences these year.

 

[Tranqueris]

Hmm weirdly enough, I think the press conferences as a whole convinced me to get a PS4 Pro instead of an Xbox One X. Wasn't viewing it as something I wanted to buy before E3.

 

[kpaadet]

What they showed was Level 1 of a supposedly 40 hour game....

Sure I guess we'll see, and I'm suppose to endure those Rabbids for 40 hours. Oh my.

 

[Infinite Justice]

It's sad that Nintendo could possibly have the best "conference" even if they go conservative. An impressive showing of Mario and Xenoblade plus 1 surprise would do it for me

Oh 2 games they announced already

Going by the logic in this thread then that's fucking terrible

 

[Schnozberry]

Ubisoft had the best overall presentation to me this year. A lot of different stuff I want to play and ending on an amazing moment.

Ubi managed to inject a bit of sincerity and humanity into their presentation. It made a huge difference.

 

[therealminime]

What games from the Sony conference still don't have release dates?

Days Gone
God of War
Spiderman
Shadow of the Colossus thing
Monster Hunter thing
Horizon DLC
All the VR stuff
Detroit

what else did they show?

Edit: all have release windows but no actual days.

 

[Chumley]

What games from the Sony conference still don't have release dates?

Days Gone, a few others I think

Nebulous "2018" for SOTC

Early 2018 for God of War basically means March.

 

[Neverfade]

When do they start their drunken couch adventures? Tomorrow night?

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

What games from the Sony conference still don't have release dates?

Detroit?

 

[Incandenza]

I'm really hoping someone on staff gets a chance to see A Way Out

The discussion on the Waypoint cast made it sound suuuuper interesting.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

what if rabbids x mario had an item world like disgaea

that would be fucking cool

 

[btkadams]

Days Gone
God of War
Spiderman
Shadow of the Colossus thing
Monster Hunter thing
Horizon DLC
All the VR stuff

what else did they show?

God of War is spring 2018, which is the season that every god of war has come out in, so that was expected. Horizon is later this year.

 

[Majine]

The Sony presser made me appreciate the Microsoft one in a whole new way. Atleast they took the time to arrange a show. They had people with controllers, unveiled a car, had people coming and going...

Beyond the initial music number, Sony pressed play on a video playlist.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah other than monster hunter nothing mind-blowing for me, but it's an ok conference.

 

[faridmon]

The discussion on the Waypoint cast made it sound suuuuper interesting.

Do they still talk about Overwatch character fucking and weird Highschool fanfics?

 

[Infinite Justice]

Ubi managed to inject a bit of sincerity and humanity into their presentation. It made a huge difference.

Which they did last year as well.

 

[Mr. F]

Days Gone

what else did they show?

Uncharted thing

It really did. There was a lot of heart in that conference.

God of War was "Early 2018" which is close enough of a commitment to me. What games have completely non-specific dates (either just a year or nothing at all)?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

It's only $100 more than the Pro and $200 more than Switch, lol. The fuckin PSVR is $500 too. People are treating the price like it's $800 or something. This isn't even including the fact that many people will be trading/selling old consoles.

The difference between PSVR and the new XBOX is that PSVR is a VR and not a mainline console. If your new console that you want people to buy cost 500 dollars, you will not get a lot of people buying that console. They were pushing that as the new thing from Microsoft. It's the most expensive console out right now out of the three companies right by 100 to 200 hundred dollars depending on the company right now.
