Yeah same. It felt like it was super short.
I think that is a good thing.

I dont get your comments regarding TLG, did you not see the detailed animations? The evocative and expressive beast? Can you not appreciate that demo on any level?
That's his point. The big announcements other than horizon are years away. Shenmue is targeting 2017. They just started on FF7 and TLG needs no explanation.
Do you ever see a conference where games get announced 2 plus years before they are expecting to release? No delayed but planned?
Sony threw a ton of hype games out there that have no true release date to cover the fact they are limited in the near term. A conference is about what you can play soon. Not maybe play in two years
I think that is a good thing.
Has Sony announced anything else?
New firmware, any mention on BC or their thoughts on MS's BC announcement?
I've had a day to digest it.
Sony's 2015 E3 Conference was the greatest conference - from any game company - ever.
The improbable/impossible barrage of The Last Guardian / Final Fantasy VII / Shenmue III will never be forgotten. Its a conference that made history. In years to come, people will still be talking about it.
Absolute magnificent bastards, the lot of them.
It was an hour and a half long. I think it just says a lot about the pacing that it felt so short. This conference seemed to be designed for those that had taken issue with Sony's conferences in the past.
You mean like:
Halo 5 - announced June 2013; releasing November 2015
Quantum Break - announced May 2013; releasing early 2016
Cuphead - announced June 2014; releasing 2016
Below - announced June 2013; releasing ???
Crackdown - announced June 2014; releasing ??? (probably 2017)
Scalebound - announced June 2014; releasing ??? (probably 2016)
Phantom Dust - announced June 2014; apparently not cancelled; releasing ???
Sea of Thieves - announced June 2015; releasing probably 2017
Fable Legends - announced August 2013; releasing September 2015
This kind of thing, right? Because I see from your posts that you favour MS, but let's not pretend that they're not at least as guilty of this as Sony is.

Really funny looking back on how everyone was worried that no leaks meant no megatons.
Sony and its partners somehow managed to keep FF7R, TLG and Shenmue 3 all from leaking.
Truly an unforgettable moment in gaming history. Glad I stayed awake for it.
I feel sorry for MS.
Sony will now be known as the company who brought back FF7 and Shenmue and gamers will be forever grateful.
They are now the greatest videogame company, from now on there's no videogame industry without Sony, if Sony dies our industry dies.
They really did learn their lessons. No sales numbers, no business PR jargon apart from Shawn's intro, no casual/mobile, and no 40-minute talk about Powers lol. The TV stuff was concise and actually worth announcing at E3 - a la carte channels is like a whole new paradigm. And it started on time! All that resulted in a brisk 90 minute show - we were only 30 minutes in and we'd seen TLG, Horizon and FFVII. Crazy.
Shawn ditched the tie, grew a sweet beard, and came across as the boss of motherfucking Sony instead of a dodgy used car salesman. It was from game to game like an EA conference without the cringeworthy fluff (see Pele).
Holy shit people seem to be on some hype deflation quest. Stahp
Only problem I had was they still have the worst director /camera guys of any presentation. They always cut to the crowd at the worst time.

I wouldn't say that. They leaked, it's just that no one believed them. Whether they were true leaks or the same guess leaks like every year, is another question.
Lol that ownage. His bias is pretty obvious.You mean like:

As mindblowingly amazing as the Sony show was, I do have to wonder where RIME is.
True story. But this year was far less annoying than last year. Last year's stream showed more crowd than screen.
Welp, its a jonthan blow game - and being the perfectionist he is - it could be a little bit before we hear from that game.
At least thats what I think!
I hope everyone takes notes. I'd watch every conference from start to finish every year if they were all this good.
Jonathan Blow's game is The Witness.Welp, its a jonthan blow game - and being the perfectionist he is - it could be a little bit before we hear from that game.

I think that's Witness you're talking about.
Jonathan Blow's game is The Witness.
That's The Witness. Rime is the Ico-looking game from Tequila Works, the Spanish devs who made Deadlight.
how do you top what's gone by?
Show Uncharted 4 and just be glad the conference didn't explode the planet.

You actually believe this?
Hah this got me
Also
what is he throwing on those people that they're falling like that?
FF7R, I am happy for the people who have been wanting this game but have absolutely no expectations. FF7 was a solid core but overall had a lot of weak design decisions which kept it from being a great RPG. Refining the combat, materia system, and adding more postgame content will be important, but I'm not sure if the team will feel free to make those types of decisions given how intense fan feelings are surrounding this game. Also....no idea when this is coming.
I think a lot of people that do all the bashing can't separate their own preferences from the intrinsic value and joy that a certain game can bring to other people in general.
After this year's Sony conference, i'm surprised that there are people who say Sony didn't win.
