Sony E3 Conference 2016 |OT|

What are you most excited for?

Results are only viewable after voting.
Whelp, feel confident saying that Sony won E3. I've never left a conference so excited about buying so many of the games that were shown. Just game after game in that conference that looked fucking rad to me. Very few in there that I don't think I'll play... and that wasn't indicative of quality, just ones that weren't personally for me.

Damn good showing. I only wish we'd gotten to see a bit of those remastered Crash games.

Either trolling or Ice in your hearts.

saying GoW(or the other games) looked like shit is just the weirdest hyperbole ..

People being miserable on the internet, I am truly shocked :P

Good conference overall, lots of cool stuff. What surprised me is how great Infinite Warfare looked, shall definitely be getting that. Days Gone looks great as well and happy to see Sony Bend doing something new. Last Guardian finally getting a date was awesome to see.
 
A+

Didn't feel like an hour at all.

Loved everything.

God of War has me interested when I was previously unconcerned.

Horizon looked genuinely awesome.

Even Days Gone, which I intially brushed off as looking generic, shocked me with it's interesting mechanics and made me really wanna play it.

And of course, Hideo, such a great moment and trailer.
 
9.5/10 just because i am too strict to give 10, so many games i would play and i have not felt that way for a few years, i think this might just have got my console gaming urge returning.
 
Suprised they didnt dedicate more time to 3rd party relations and had no (?) indies.
Flexed their muscles with exclusives though, and even left tons unpresented for some other time.
 
5/10 conference for me - the pacing was great, but the games were lacklustre in my opinion. At least Microsoft had Xbox One S, Play Anywhere and the merest hint of Scorpio in their conference.
 
This conference was brilliant, if MS wouldn't have announced Scorpio. This would have been the best of this year.

TLG and Horizon day fucking one

Gravity Rush 2 was in a montage...

I don’t understand what you are talking about with those 2 games though...Why would Gravity Rush or Ace combat need a big 2-5 minute trailer/demo, they are already announced, as well as Persona who has like 3 trailers already and gameplay demos up.

They have to show the new stuff.

HORIZON has already tons of trailers and gameplay footage

Your point doesn't stand
 
One of the better shows in recent years, I think.

It's the kind of show people ask for every year. It was game after game after game. Sure, not everyone's game got some time (P5, GR2, etc) but there was a large variety of genres represented and I would be greedy to ask for more.
 
Wow.

I thought Microsoft's conference was good. Conservative but good, showed a solid new vision for the Xbox brand and the future of videogames. But Sony's just ran laps around Microsoft's in terms of showing games. MS still showed some great things like cross play, the new console, custom controllers, a glimpse into the next console launch... But... for actual games shown, Sony just killed it. Huge big name releases, gameplay clips from original games that look great, a decent smattering of other stuff.

I was disappointed by no Project Neo and definitely disappointed by no RDR2 mention... It's one "surprise" I was truly hoping for.

I think Sony may have pulled back on the Neo if they're not talking about it in their conference to try to gauge what Microsoft is doing.

Final scores!
EA:3/10
Bethesda:4/10
Microsoft:5/10
Ubisoft:5/10
Sony: 9/10

Pros:
- KOJIMA REVEALING HIMSELF
- Resident Evil 7
- Spiderman
- Finally sold me on Horizon
- That fucking pacing
- NO corporate sales bullshit whatsoever

Cons:
- Not a massive fan of GoW
- Crash only slightly less disappointing than what we thought
- Didn't stick the landing

Now we just got Zelda tomorrow. If it's good as I hope it'll be then Sony and Nintendo, damn.

Really? A 9 for Sony and 5 or below for everyone else? God of war was the best part. Horizon looks good too. But the rest wasn't mind blowing. Crash is just remasters. Not even a new one.

I would give Sony a 7/10. MS a 6/10. If I were to grade the two myself.

E3 has been pretty lackluster. Microsoft was okay, Sony was great but everything else is meh. I don't know about Zelda, Horizon is difficult to top. I really hope Zelda is revolutionary since its the only game they're showing. Pokemon is whatever, same sht. Somehow Nintendo could have a decent showing after all.Definitely won't top Sony
 
Best conference so far, but not perfect.

The crash bandicoot thing was a major screwup, FFVII port levels bad.
Ending on Days gone was meh.


RE7 full VR was amazing
Spiderman was amazing
The Last Guardian looked incredible
Horizon looks incredible.

VR in general stole the show for me. Interested to see if these are the fidelity we should expect for games or if they were all neo.

GOW is a big question mark for me. Visually insane, but don't like that it's story driven or the pacing in general.

No GT sport is bizarre to me. That's this holiday, sony seems to be skimming over it.
