Damn, the people were right... big is beautiful.
That Street Fighter - Tekken handover was bizarre, I was really worried about the rest of the show at that point.

Bit low on new announcements which I tend to prefer over seeing games again that were already announced but not a bad conference all the same. Not really keen on the main Sony guy presenting the conference. He just seems a bit devoid of charisma and almost bored. Which I don't think helps matters.
However, some great games coming. Glad to see QD's new game announced. Surprised it was Kara after The Sorcerer demo but it seems a very interesting title to look forward to. However, not sure why they just didn't call is Kara: Become Human instead. Think that's a better name. Also, nice to see PD announce a new GT.
Wild looks amazing and I can't wait to play that. Possible the game of the conference for me. That Robinson game was very intriguing for VR but I'm not interested in buying VR on the whole. No Man's Sky continues to look great but it's still so far away. Shame Rime didn't show up. That was another disappointment to hear nothing of it still. Dreams is practically LBP 3D which if it works well and is easy to create, then it could be really something. Horizon also continues to impress and I really liked the rope trap and the possibilities of that. Uncharted 4 multiplayer looked great too.
On the whole,like I say, some great looking games coming, just a little lacking on new announcements which is maybe why they decided to wait till PGW instead of Gamescom, to have the likes of Dreams, Wild and Detroit better ready to show.
I'd give the conference a B-. More (as in 1-2 more) big announcements would have been cool and Sony's main guy needs to loosen up and gain some charisma.

One of my most anticipated games. Hopefully it's at PSX.
Reposting my stupidly hopeful theory on why we're still waiting for it:
Given it's second showing at last year's Gamescom (?), somehow I think Rime got upgraded and expanded with a budget boost, hence why we've had such a wait. Atleast to me it looked quite a bit bigger at that showing than it's unveil trailer.
Maybe Sony caught wind of it capturing some of that ICO spark with the fans.

It's weird I see people let down by the actual conference. But as a sift through the dozens of announcements on my lunch break, there is a ton of exciting content. taking the time to watch a conference really sets up expectations and makes the boring aspects seem exaggerated. I'm glad I did it this way.

Rime is the new TLG. Expected at every conference but never shows up
Roll on 10 years when it's a PS5 exclusive

Can't believe I skipped a threesome with Jessica Alba and a clone of Jessica Alba for this.

4/10 only because of GR 2 and GT

Always the people first, who in turn create (or at least build on) interesting concepts and ideas and do cool stuff with them. Ancel hasn't made a game that I haven't appreciated and I really do like the sensibilities he and his co-workers bring.

Were any firmware features or stuff announced? Or just games?
Overall probably one of their weakest since E3 2012. Lots of small announces for already announced games. But since they have so many a year I think it's fine for one to be the "B Roll" so to speak.
Saying that, the last part was great. Dreams seems more like 3D LBP, which is great, and Horizon, WiLD, GT:S and Detroit were really cool.

God of War is a sure thing. Bend I think might be the other big announcement. Other than that I suspect those other games will probably be next year.

Just games.
Just games and dreams.
Get your priorities straight. (If you are interested in the opposite sex, that is)
Edit:
Where can I watch the show from the beginning?
Edit2:
This seem fine:

Just going to quote for the new page because I'm very excited for that game and had to run out during the conference

Their two biggest reveals were meh from a presentational/marketing standpoint. Not sure who's deciding how these play out but if all it's going to be is "..wait for PSX"...might as well not show anything at all. Remember, first impressions matter. GT Sport unveil in particular... you unveil a new game in a juggernaut series like that? The fuq?

Yup. Content wise it was great. Pacing was awful.
Edit: Also, my bad, I was wrong jumping on Brandon for complaining about the GT talking lol, while I didn't mind it for the first minute or two when he started complaining about it, good god it went on forever.

I'm confused, it's matterfall a new game or alienation is now matterfall?

Just finished the conference. Still no Rime?! What the fuck.
New game.

Alienation is Alienation, it was shown in the pre-show. MatterFall is a new game from same devs.
"Everything was PSX" the conference.

Rime is the new TLG. Expected at every conference but never shows up
Quick, someone remake the Deep Space Nine "Where the hell was The Last Guardian?" gif with Rime!
Check out his post history and move on.

Excellent show. As someone who had grounded / realistic expectations I am more than satisfied with the titles shown. Best Sony press conference of 2015 so far for me. Sure, e3 had the more spectacular announcements but this show had more games that we will be able to play soon(ish) rather than some far off date in the future.
Games of the show for me:
Gravity Rush 2
Detroit
Wild
Dreams
That minecraft like game.. whose name escapes me.
Gran turismo announcement made me happy but no concrete details other than the FIA partnership made it all a bit anti climatic
PSX needs to be something really special to top this event.

Considering that Level 5 originally said they'd be announcing at E3 that would be a long gap?
A one year GAP.
Heh yeah no way this would beat E3. People got too hyped because of him.

We don't know yet. Just that it's a fast-paced arcade action game. From Housemarque. Which is dope. Trailer gave me Vanquish vibes.
Melchiah

Oddly enough, Housemarque's post-PGW newsletter implies we've already played Alienation on our PS4s, or was there a limited beta?

Some gifs I made, best part of the show
I believe he was talking from a First party/exclusive standpoint and I don't think he was wrong.
Still. People should stop with the hyperbole of saying "x conference will be better than E3"
That puts a false sense of excitement into people expecting megaton after megaton.
The conference was really good... until they did the Dreams demo. That was the Wonderbook moment of the presentation and it sucked the life out of everything that came after it. The pacing died, the momentum was lost, and I suddenly just felt bored by everything.
I'm sure Dreams is going to be all weird and quirky, but it's a niche's niche game. If Media Molecule and Sony can't manage to sell a cute/charming platformer like Tearaway Unfolded, how the hell do they think that this weird whatever it is game actually sell?
Media Molecule struck gold with LittleBigPlanet, but Sony owns that IP and Sumo has proven others can make a great LBP game. So what does MM bring? Dreams? I've got a bad feeling about this.
