He was incredibly awkward throughout, which is weird because he had been steadily improving at this sort of thing which each presser. But for some reason he just seemed lost this time, trying to go it alone without a teleprompter, droning on at times, and not to mention at one point he fucked his throat up and started coughing during every sentence. Bit tough to watch tbh.
On the other end, you've got Gio Corsi who has the whole crowd in the palm of his hand within moments, has expert delivery and immense stage presence. Seriously, why is this guy not at every PlayStation conference? He makes it all look so effortless.
Also, Asad needs to stop making jokes about his name. We're well past that now. The cricket reference was funny though.

E3 was great. This was even better that that. 9.5/10. Didn't care for the fighting games, but I know many others do. The world championship stuff for COD is really what took that .5 away from this bring a perfect conference. No one, NO ONE, cared about it.

Sony finally understood how to end a press conference properly.
They deserve full marks just for that.
Seriously though, it was amazing. 9 out of 10.

I'd give it a 9 out of 10 as a psx conference. The conference kept things moving along for the most part with a lots of games i'm looking forward to. My only gripe was i would have liked more new games instead of mostly remasters/remakes. Don't get me wrong i still want those remasters and remakes but i also wanted some more new games. I'm simply greedy like that and an announcement of DMC5, MMLR, wild arms whichever number their on, onimusha, or Dark Cloud 3 would have pushed it up to 9.5.

9/10 for me, best PSX to date. I couldn't watch live so had to watch at night but Uncharted DLC, Wipeout and TLOU 2 were huge surprises for me, the kind of thing I'd expect at E3, so that was very cool. With the malaise of how meh the PS4 Pro is (I own one), the PSVR not having any killer games, and the lack of big exclusives this holiday season it was nice to see some strong punches and reminded of Bandicoot, Horizon Dawn, Nier, Ni No Kuni 2, etc.
Not every game needs to be at every event. ND were the ones that wanted to tell everyone about the sequal to TLOU. Dreams has had dev updates like every month. Sony can't force devs to show stuff if they don't want too. And PSX is different then E3.

Gio Corsi is terrible and I dread his stage presence every time.
high rating for me as a casual gamer,(i mean really average at games, button masher, Short attention span, someone who now only plays for 15-30 mins before getting distracted or switching it off, sometimes though if i have spare time ill play for a whole hour) 9-10/10
seriously there were so many types of games that i like i cant complain, sure there were some i werent interested in but it was better than 2015 E3 for me personally.
I've not played Uncharted properly before always thought it looked good (tried the Vita game for a few minutes) but that opening video looked great also. (I downloaded the Nathan Drake Collection Demo earlier & now plan on getting the full game
20th Anniversary nostalgia
PaRappa the Rapper (Demo was just as fun today as it was 20 years ago)
Crash (My god i cant wait for this to come out)
Wipeout (Wowsers i almost got misty eyed at that, totally wasnt expecting that)
Marvel Madness (my hype was so off the chart i loaded up the psn store here in the UK and waited and waited and waited until at least midnight for aultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, almost 6 hours after the announcment to get my hands on the game, no show so i finally crashed out to sleep, woke at 6:45am lo and behold it was there on the UK store finally)
The new game footage looks good too, will wait to see more before Judgement is made but so far so good.
I cant get too excited for VR cos when i tried VR after a short while i felt motion sick, so i'm ruling that out for now.
Gravity Rush 2 looks real good, need to get the first on the PS4 (got the vita version)
Yakuza - again looks great, havent played yakuza games before, but have the one we were given on psn, shall have to try it.
This one made me pleasantly suprised and happy to be gaming again off and on.

I'm watching for the first time now and the first few segments felt weird.
One guy was yelling yes! Yes! Or was that the woman yelling yes? Anyway there was a man and woman you could heat distinctly screaming.
Yoshida just took the stage and the Yoshida chant felt like someone is paying the crowd to be hyped.
The games so far themselves are more then fine.

8.5/10.0. They're improving every year and did a good job showcasing Playstation across genres, across time, and East/West devs. Millions have grown up playing on PS1 and PS2, and it's a brand advantage over Microsoft that they need to leverage. Glad to see B/A/AA budget titles sprinkled throughout, and the whole conference book-ended by Naughty Dog megatons.
If I can be greedy, I would have liked to see Ridge Racer in some form. Even just the original at 4K/60FPS would have been an instant purchase for me.
12/3/2016 22nd Anniversary without PS1 emulation is a marketing miss. Wouldn't do anything to the bottom line or console sales, but something that would have played well to the PSX audience.

Minus FPS stuff is was awesome, it was game game game game, pretty fantastic.
I really enjoyed it this year! Made me get nostalgic, so I threw together a old fashioned montage video of this and the game awards. So much cool shit this year.

TLOU2, Yakuza Kiwami and Raven DLC makes it a 10/10 
I think it's safe to say that most of us enjoyed the conference...and the reason is because there was truly something for everyone.
1. Mainstream blockbusters in the form of UC4 and TLOU2 (which are perfectly positioned)
2. Barrage of announcements and footage for fans of japanese games
3. Remasters for fans of old-school classics
4. MVC and SFV for fighting fans
5. Plenty of indie titles to cover non-mainstream genres (Rain World looks amazing)
6. RE7 and AC7 for PSVR owners
Compared to E3, PSX is more of a fan event which allows it to focus on games without mainstream appeal but are dearly loved by a niche segment of the gaming population.

The audience didn't bother me. I mean that's what you should expect when you have an event like this for the public. I laughed when they chanted YOSHIDA. How many business executives get that kind of welcome from an audience??
The one black dude that was losing his mind at the Marvel vs Capcom unveiling was so awesome.

Not really watched it.
But from the threads I've seen:
Crash Bandicoot - can't wait to play them always dismissed them growing up
Wipeout - a bit deflated its just a HD/Fury/Pulse collection but as a massive Wipeout fan I will be very happy to take it and hope its a push for a new one if it sells well. The only game I have faith that can do 60fps/4K on ps4pro
Uncharted DLC - great to have Chloe back and I must get round to starting 4!
TLOU: Pt2 - still feel it doesn't need a sequel but looks like it could be great.

Windjammers port/possible physical version is awesome.
Knack 2 is a big LOL, will be fun to play with the kids.
Everything else didn't do anything for my household. We're all currently engrossed in FFXV and Pokemon SM...nothing that was shown comes even close. Really not looking forward to a daily front page TLOU thread for the next two fucking years.

Ignore them Instead of being a baby about that series.

Last of us part 2 announced
Uncharted 4 dlc/add on/spin off/whatever starring Chloe
Wipeout Remaster
Ace Combat 7
Knack 2
and thought I clicked on the wrong neogaf section:

I'd give it a 5/10 because there just weren't many games that really intrigued me from the get go. On the other hand, I wasn't able to pay full attention when watching, so I could have missed some pieces.
Not a lot of VR, too.

only downside was the audiece. so cringworthy
