They were acting like a 1st party studio with that tweet(that 'other' conference). Pretty obvious and you really think anybody would really care about that distinction?That wasn't Sony. Think about it.

I thought Housemarque was independent
I don't think you know what first party means.
First party are studios owned by the console maker.
Oh and bonus points to MS for keeping Mehdi away from that stage.
Sony taking shots is pretty gross in the face of Phil Spencer opening the Xbox event with a show of respect for them.
If Microsoft did anything like this, they'd be crucified to the end of time on here.

Housemarque isn't part of Sony in any way..
I really don't get the hate towards CG trailers.
In reality? It's as niche as it gets. A good IP to have, don't get me wrong, but if you're going to dig in the crates for old Xbox favourites to bring back, it wouldn't be in my top 5. The tepid applause afterwards from the crowd pretty much sums it up.
Killer Instinct was a megaton. Perfect Dark would be a megaton. Crackdown? We knew it was coming but still - a pretty big deal. Phantom Dust? Not in the same league.
The whole conference felt safe. Which is fine, but safe isn't going to capture the imagination...or the market.
Somebody should link that Sony tweeter to the Killzone 2 trailer they showed years ago. Now THAT was some hella CGI!
Sorry guys but I thought it was awful.
No megatons, lots of CGI, lots of bullshit timed (moneyhatted) exclusive DLC that makes no difference in the grand scheme of things.
For xbox diehards I can see why they may have seen it as good since there's a lot of nostalgia announced but for everyone else... What are the selling points? Where is that new IP console exclusive to draw people in and define a generation in the way that Gears of War did?
I cannot believe they blew their load before e3 for that. If they had announced the kinnectless version and Forza horizon 2 at this with some gameplay I would have been hyped but they decided to drip feed that to us prior to the conference for some unknown reason.
Not to mention the fact that they are sitting on Rare and wasting all of their IP's and their talent/creativity.
Easy conference for Sony to beat, all they have to do is show some gameplay and some new innovative hardware/ideas (VR, PS Now).
Watch sony spend a bunch of time on sales and charts and then show a CG megaton and then everyone gets excited and says their conference was amazing
I really thought Microsoft would come stronger than that.
Yes, did not learn anything about platinum or crackdown other than the genre.
Division looked like a PC version.
Fable looked awful - not sure what the appeal is there....?
Sunset looked good.
I thought witcher 3 looked worse than I would expect - was it actually running on XB1 ?
Halo collection looks fun, although the gameplay Halo 2 is showing its age a little. It looked like an old game running on a PC...
7/10....

lol
I know full well what it means. I don't see a point in the distinction when it's exclusive and published by Microsoft. This is the same kind of nonsense people tried to use on the Wonderful 101 and it got old a long time ago.
Sony will talk about sales, they will talk about Vita, PS3 and PS4. Their conference is longer so they can afford to.
What's funny is gaf does it to ourselves. Could you imagine the reactions if we didn't have project beast and the cboat and ntkrnl leaks?The era of real surprises at E3 at anything other than a console reveal is over, and it's been trending that way for years.
People expect pristine gameplay footage from games that will come out in 2015 or 2016. Nothing else will do!

So no EA at the MS presser but lots of Ubi
No Xbox gameplay, so it's just as good as a CGI trailer, really -.-1. The Division (gameplay!), 2. The Witcher 3 (gameplay!) and 3. The Tomb Raider reveal (CG trailers are not exciting to me, but I can't wait for a new Tomb Raider).
