Great conference though disappointed about there being no SCEJ game. Guessing they where referring to Bloodborne?
Are some of you really just this dead inside? What did you ever see in gaming in the first place?
War has changed
lolThat's why it's not a port. It's an adaptation.
Where is Shadow of the Beast?
Dead?
Anyone got a replay of the conference?
starting to feel like all the indie demographic research is producing eye-rolling crap that's just as bad as Dew/Doritos being aimed at Call of Duty bros.
The "experimental" faux-emotional electronic music, stylized graphics, lost little girls/boys interacting with psychedelic environments, vaguely worded stories that have no substance....it just drives home that video games don't really bring anything new to the world, they just leech off of marketable cultures and put them into interactive little packages. Sad, really.
it's all starting to get recursive, but "indie" seems like a stop gap before the VR revolution marketing push anyway.
My opinions / impressions;
The Tomorrow Children // Very intriguing / different. Id like to see more; this game definitely has my attention.Huge step up from last years Gamescom, and I love how there was a minimum amount of fluff. No 20 minutes on media and movies and services; they just briefly talked about the 2.0 update and PSNow, thats it. Great. For the rest it was just games games games with minimal fluff. Destiny couldve just shown the trailer; the PR-talk / pre-order talk accompanying it just dragged it out a bit. The stream crapped out for a little bit, but luckily during the small non-games part. Sadly no Vita news, but that was to be expected.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter // Intriguing, very interesting.
Volume // Already seen. Mike Bithell is awesome. I will definitely pick this up.
Hollowpoint // Meh, not really my thing.
Dayz // Nice get. I might finally need to check it out. In under three years is a bit far off though No gameplay or anything? No trailer? Seems like this plan only was made recently.
Hellblade // Ooh, Ninja Theory! Looking forward to more on that! Looks promising.
Rime // Still awesome. Most anticipated game for me. Incredibly beautiful. Awesome trailer.
Indie montage // Nice. Some good stuff. Will definitely check some of them out.
Destiny // Im already sold. I dont need Hirschberg talking corporate PR / pre-order talk. Second guy was disinterestedly reading from the prompter. PvP. Nothing really new. Nice new shots. Should have been just the trailer.
Far Cry 4 // I like snow. Nice to see a more exotic environment. Not very exciting presentation. Keys to Kyrat not as big as originally thought.
Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor // Generic revenge story is not that amazing. Still on the fence about this game.
Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain // Hadnt seen this before. Nice of them to give the box more versatility vs. just as a reference. Completely hilarious and out of place. And hilarious.
P.T. // Ok? Jumpscare reaction vid? I dont care; show me the game!
Firmware 2.0 // What, play any game with any PS+ subscriber without them owning the game? Stream crapped out beyond that. I want to know more on that, and what does this make Keys to Kyrat? How does it work? What are the specifics?
Morpheus // Stream crapped out. Missed this bit. Demoes on show floor.
PSNow // Stream crapped out. Heard something about the beta coming to EU in 2015.
PSTV // Stream crapped out. Probably wont sell. Not really interested as I already have a Vita.
Until Dawn // Corny B-movie horror? Nice graphics? You decide who lives? Yes please!
Driveclub // Still looking good. From the trailer straight into gameplay; good. Very focused on social. Weather looking very good. Affects car control / gameplay. HOW FAST DO YOU WANNA GO?, as always in a Driveclub trailer. Might not have needed the on-stage demo.
Tearaway Unfolded // More Tearaway is awesome, but Im slightly disappointed that they didnt have it stay on Vita and work on something completely new instead. Good thing that it isnt a straight port and has been reworked for the DS4.
Alienation // Awesome destruction. Pretty much Dead Nation with Aliens. Will play.
Wild // Michel Ancel. Looking great. Expansive open world. Play as any living creature? Awesome. Very intriguing. Lots of potential here. Want to know more!
Great conference with a ton of new, unique and promising titles. Also great that Sony was fully clear on any timed exclusivity, unlike certain other companies.
The majority of creative output follows popular trends and/or successful/established design patterns. More shocking news at 11.I'm sorry I started to notice the themes in indie development/marketing and that it doesn't seem like wacky spontaneous stuff anymore?
I wonder what Sony has planned for TGS, knowing they have to get the Japanese to buy into the PS4 and that will only happen with market specific games, I can only imagine that we'll get to see more new titles announced in a little over a month.
Sony announced game after game and trailer after trailer today all and MS did was announce Sony wouldn't get a game.
Random thought, but what ever happened to Cyberpunk 2077? Does anyone know if its still coming out or was it silently cancelled? I would have expected some kind of announcement at Gamescom this year if it was still in the works.
I couldn't believe that up until the Destiny portion, every single game shown was a brand new title. And then after that, they kept it up with even more brand new titles.
Wasn't Destiny the only actual big 3rd party publisher title? Everything else was brand new games from other studios or Sony published titles.
I was floored by that.
Dont forget Far Cry 4.
Are the game trailers up on PSN? I can't find any, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place (took a while just to find P.T. for crying out loud!!)
Recap of e3 and gsmescomI wonder what Sony has planned for TGS, knowing they have to get the Japanese to buy into the PS4 and that will only happen with market specific games, I can only imagine that we'll get to see more new titles announced in a little over a month.
Sony had a vastly superior conference to microsoft.
Up there with some of their best conferences ever regardless of event.
You should have bought it on Vita anyway. The game deserves it.
