Wait...is people downtoning Sony's conf? really? :|
I see it as one of the best E3 conf ever...
btw, opinions, I guess?
Yeah, talking about opinions...
To me the Sony conference itself was great - it was the perfect dream conference on paper with the trinity of FF7, Shen-fucking-mue and The Last Guardian
but... all three of these megaton announcements seem to be for late 2016 (TLG I would hope) to Q4 2017 (FF7, Shenmue). They are added to a long line-up of games that have been shown and releasing mid2016 and beyond.
It felt like 2015 had nothing added to it's line-up, only "exclusive content" and "console version launches first on ps4" announcements. Even No Mans Sky, the game people speculated would fill the Uncharted 4 gap in the line-up is now a 2016 title it seems (and not exclusive? I had the idea it was before). For me that leaves 2015 with bloodborne and... that's it.
Disclaimer: I don't play/like destiny/call of duty/assassins creed etc - the playstation games I would buy a PS4 for are : uncharted 4, dreams, Horizon, and to play games like dark souls3, FF7R etc without having to buy an expensive PC.
So the conference was GREAT - but content wise they didn't give me a reason to finally buy a PS4 right now. They showed me: "buy one in 2016 when our games actually arrive and the console is 100$ cheaper".
Will Nintendo do better? I already own a Wii U, so they have it a bit easier, I just hope they have some surprises.
EDIT: And I'll probably never buy an xbox, but cupboard and recore looked very interesting. Would want to play both.
