Brutal improvement over the last one. We're getting our first SIE fighting game in over 14 years since Bleach: Heat the Soul 7, I could not be any happier.
 
It has been a really good state of play, the marvel fighting game at the end was the cherry on top.

2026 is packed and more and more games will start to push the PS5 even more.

And it also seems that Sony will start to sell more Pro's this coming year.

B rating.

B+. The only problem is that a lot of 2026 stuff and MGS3 Delta just looks bad. The Marvel fighter, Pragmata, Bloodstain 2, Silent Hill F, Nioh 3, FFT, Mortal Kombat Kollection, Lumines, there's lots to chew on here.

Also interesting what it DIDNT have. No Marathon. No Fairgame%. Marathon is totally cooked.

I thought it was solid. I'm extremely pumped for the new Lumines. Silent Hill looked pretty good too. And I'll definitely give the new ArcSys Marvel game a try, they don't miss.
 
C.

FF tactics, pragmata, 007 looked decent enough. Nioh 3 was the only game that was a genuine surprise.
 
Really good.

Final fantasy tactics: Hell yes

New silent hill: Hell yes

Arc system works fighting game: Hell yes

Pragmata: Hell yes

Ghost of yotei: Hell yes

Nioh 3: Hell yes all day everyday.

I voted B.

Nioh3, FFT Remaster, Digimon, Lumines, Bloodstained 2 are of interest to me.

I should drop it to a C because of Ghost of Yotei. I thought to myself: Finally they get it, and they will show gameplay. What a tease.

B+ to A-

Going in with low expectations was the right move. A great State of Play but not a great E3 hypefest/showcase type of thing.

Western shit = bad

Non western shit = good

It's hilarious how clear this trend was.

Honestly if you judged all of the Japanese stuff equally, most of that crap looks identical. When they showed the intro to the Digimon game, that could have easily been half of the crap that comes out of Japan.
