So.... Nintendo?
True. However, there are a good number of games that will be available soon. The Last Guardian, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, Horizon, Resident Evil 7. The newly shown games (most of them) are stuff that's in the pipeline, and I'm cool with them being shown and not necessarily available soon.

Spiderman

Not sure yet, but definitely intrigued:
God of War
Days Gone
The Last Guardian

Meh:
Kojima's game (need actual gameplay to judge. Teaser looked stupid)
Resident Evil 7 (after 5 and 6, I have no confidence in Capcom)
Detroit (David Cage makes shit games)
CoD (I'm over it)
VR ($400 LOL no thanks)

That was not very good. While I thought the games looked good and interesting, the majority of stuff is 2017 or beyond. They really did not show much that is coming out this year. A lot of the new games are definitely 2017 or 2018. Not sure how some are scoring this a 9/10. Again, I think the games shown were pretty damn good, but I really wanted to see what they had for THIS year, not 1-2 years down the line.
While I never was a big GOW fan, this new one actually made me more interested in the new game. Horizon looked great, but 2017. The last game, Day Gone really not sure what that is about other than unlimited ammo shooting zombies. The Crash news would of been wonderful if it was a new Crash game, not just remaster.
So the big 3 from Last Year had 1 out 3 show up and does not look all that great, seems kind of odd that the big tri-fecta that they made such a big deal of last year and the only one they showed was LG. Anyone else find that a little odd?
I want Horizon now though!!!

I expect more stuff around the console itself, or a more well put together set of info on PSVR.
Not just a run of trailers.
Its fine if people dont share my opinion.
Im super excited for lots of these games that they have shown though.
+ God of War looks amazing. I didn't like the open world and experience aspects, but hey, it's Kratos.
+ Days Gone is exactly what I need. Open world post apocalyptic mission based action game with platforming. And rideable vehicles.
+ Thank god Sony saved Spiderman from dirty hands of Activision!
+ This Resident Evil first one to look really scary.
- Call of Duty has no business here. Only PS fans watch the conference.
- Only TLG releases this fall out of all games shown. That makes my to buy list: FF15 and TLG. Damn.
- Crash. Remaster or Remake? Sounds more like remaster. Remaster of PSone games.
- Death Standing: Yep it's Norman, but what's this game about?
- Detroit: Glorified visual novel. Yes it has almost lifelike graphics but I don't think it could keep up with Telltale games or Steins;Gate.
- No revivals. No Ratchet, no Sly, no Syphon Filter, no Motorstorm (sigh), no Patapon, no Wild Arms...
- Vita is dead. You can kill Vita, Sony, but at least create a successor and don't leave us in dark pits of F2P always online mobile games.
- Missing stuff. Where the hell is Dreams? Is Media Molecule next in your list for studios to kill, Sony? Shame on you!
6/10

I'm surprised how any conference can end up being less than a 7/10.

Eh, don't know how to feel about Sony's conference.
Presentation wise it was great. Game after game with no marketing in the middle or at least as little as possible but games-wise eh.
God of War gameplay reveal was kinda eh. Would rather have seen some hack and slash gameplay instead of what was shown.
Days Gone seemed cool at first but the seconding showing kinda soured me on the game due to being another Zombie game.
To much time given to VR imo. $400 price point turned me off a lot.
Mad that the crash shit was only remasters. Was also worrying that there was no gameplay shown of said remasters which leads me to believe that they are far out. Espically if they are ground up remasters for the PS4 like Shawn Layden said.
COD stuff ehhhhhh
Don't trust Quantic Dream with a game after how bad Beyond Two Souls was. Fuck David Cage.
Can't speak on Kojima's new game since it was such a short trailer but it looks like it's gonna be dope
-----
On the flipside though:
Finally got The Last Guardian release date.
Horizon gameplay looked cool to bad it got delayed till 2017
New Resident Evil D:
Spiderman + Insomniac = 9/10 game
-----
I would give this conference an 8/10. Not as good as last year. They fixed a lot of stuff presentation-wise but some of the games shown off were ehhh. Not surprised that the Sony E3 conference was so short.
Feel like a lot of people are gonna overhype this conference though cuz it was Sony.

Sea of Thieves is definitely one I'm interested in as someone with only a PS4, but I'm much more intrigued by Spider-Man, Crash, and Horizon.
What the actual fuck do you expect from a conference?
Man some people are just dumb.
Horizon looked like TLOU ?.... uhhh..

I think the disappointment from all the other conferences is building onto this, now that E3 is mostly done for me (sorry Nintendo). I can't objectively say that it was a bad conference, but I feel bummed out. Was psyched for Crash's return but it didn't feel that triumphant, especially with nothing to show besides Skylanders. Resident Evil 7 looks weird. The good looking games look really good, and there are a lot of them, but I don't feel passionately interested in any of them, and most left field things were leaked or expected beforehand. No longer interested in PSVR or it's 'experiences/missions'. Advanced Warfare looked surprisingly better than the reveal trailer, though I will remain skeptical of how it's all going to work until the game actually comes out. Feel that way about a lot of the games shown, actually.
Good conference, shite E3 I guess.

I loved the conference overall but the middle and second half was definitely weaker then the start.
As soon as they moved to VR the conference dropped a notch and only went downhill from there sans Kojima's announcement and Spiderman for me. Overall though still a very solid conference.
Loved:
- Horizon - the world looks phenomenal.
- Detroit - They showed off the impact of choice the best way they could and the setting of the game looks great.
- God of War - never any real interest in GoW until now. Liking the story narrative and it seeming to hit emotional moments when needed in the demo. Looks promising.
- Spiderman - looks great and everything i hoped for but that suit needs to be able to be changed.
-Kojima - Norman Reedus and Kojima together working on something interesting hopefully strictly in the horror genre.
Not a fan of:
- Crash - you come out and say it's happening and then say surprise it is remasters and skylanders and then proceed to show a skylanders trailer... Also is it exclusive?
- Lego - i don't know why they would show this or as long as they did.
- No release dates or even windows for Kojima's game, spiderman and others. These games could easily be 2018.
- VR - Should have seperated it off into its own little event to give the time to show it off properly. I am sure it has potential and is the future but i am not sold on buying into VR still. All it did here in the presser was slow down momentum.
Overall 8/10.

That was a really bland, lifeless conference. Some thoughts:
- I don't like the look of God of War at all... Combat looked like ass and the camera was terrible, way too close. What did they do to you Kratos? Sure looks pretty though.
- Horizon is looking very promising.
- I wish they showed what kind of game Death Stranding will be.
- Last Guardian release date!
- RE7 - I dunno, I loved the hell out of RE6 and was really hoping they'd continue to evolve the series in the direction 4 started. I pretty much despise first person perspective, I'll probably skip it for that alone. Goddamnit Capcom.
- PSVR - Don't care, nor about any of its competitors. Why did all the games shown have the same shitty narrow FOV as non-VR first person games? Is head tracking really all it brings?
- FFXV VR - Barf.
- Days Gone - looks like it has potential. At first I figured it was TLOU 2 but after the gameplay demo it looks closer to World War Z. Sounds good, I'll take a game that's actually fun to play over another TLOU any day. That said I'm really, really tired of zombies in anything.
- Detroit - Meh
- COD - The scale of the level and transitions between ship and foot, inside and outside were impressive, but it's COD so meh.
- Spider-Man - has potential, not sure I really care though
- No Nier, Nioh, KH2.8, SO5, Gravity Rush 2 or Persona 5 (except in the sizzle video).

How do you guys feel about the ps4 VR price point of $399
Best conference, but a 7/10. To me, this was the worse E3 in the 10 or so years I've been watching.
As someone who only uses my PS4 for exclusives, I continue to be disappointed by Sony's output. Outside of VR and indies, is GT and Last Guardian their only games this fall? Extremely disappointing if so.
Horzion was the best game they showed, for the second year in a row.
Detroit has me intrigued but, I'm holding out after their last two games.
God of War was beautiful, but the gameplay fell flat for me.
Spider-Man by Insomniac is going to be cool.
Don't care about another Zombie game.
Also Final Fantasy, at both Xbox and Sony conference will go down as the worse demos I've ever seen.

A teaser is just that - a teaser. Supposed to leave you with more questions than answers.
That's not what I said. Read it carefully again. It doesn't matter what you find interesting, it doesn't make sense for niche Japanese games to appear at E3.

I liked the all killer no filler approach. Just trailers with little talking. Just a shame that most the games looked like they followed the same serious narrative Last-Of-Us-style gameplay combo. Horizon looked interesting although the trailer is hella on rails so we'll have to see what the actual gameplay is. Stuff like Days Gone are just so bland can't see how people could get hyped by it. Didn't see the Spider-Man trailer but no indies or lighthearted games (besides the Crash Remaster) kinda puts me off. Idk dug the format just none of the games shown are for me.

Really disappointed. No last of us 2, no red dead, no hint at Neo.
Outside of a hint of Neo, those are pretty unrealistic expectations man. Naughty Dog JUST released their last game, and Rockstar NEVER reveals new games in press conferences.

Which would make it like last year too.
I enjoyed the format of Sony's show best, but few of the games had me really interested, and the ones that do are either next year or have no release date.
For me, Xbox won me over with Forza Horizon 3, Ubi with For Honor, and Sony with Titanfall 2, a game that only showed up for two seconds in their end video.

I certainly loved 2015 E3 Sony conference better just for the huge surprises. Nothing this year made me go "Oh, Shit!". That said, this was certainly a conference full of games. I do wish they would have spent 20-30 min elaborating on that reel at the end where they showed GR2, P5, Yakuza 0, etc...
Yyyyup. There were lots of epics, barely any quick jump-in-and-out games, like arcade-style or even driving. Surprised there was literally no sign of GT Sport, not even in the montage (from what I could tell).
Go back and play TLOU.
