Support NeoGAF

[Kayhan]

E3 is dying on us.

 

[WiseguyMVP]

Sony shot their load in the pre-show.

Bunch 2018 release dates too.

Meh

 

[Maximo]

Sony opened it up with Ads..then 2 trailers for DLC...

 

[Zyae]

Barely anything new, not even indies.

 

[SprachBrooks]

So I think they don't have enough to fill 3 shows a year with new content. That really lacked oomph. I mean, I get that they need to get these games out and next year should be all new content, but really...why are they cutting it so short? They should have moved preshow content into the main show. Ninokuni could use stage time. But then again they showed that at PSX.

I guess you do have to remember they have 3 shows...

What's the third show? All I'm counting is E3 and PSX.

 

[Heshinsi]

Are we pretending that the Pre Show didn't exist?

This is also true.

 

[Common Knowledge]

It was a good conference. There's a whole lot of games I'm looking forward to.



I will say though that it probably would have been better to hold off on The Last of Us 2 reveal until this conference. It would have been an absolutely incredible ending to the show that got people talking about it over anything else. I think that game got revealed too early.

 

[Galava]

This conference was "cool games but nothing new, lots of QTE, boring".

No idea why people still think this was best conference LOL

 

[The Omega Man]

We waited a year for this guys, worst E3 in a decade, only reels of announced games and DLC.
Fuck E3

 

[Realeza]

Spidey was awesome but almost everything else was meh.

 

[newtypepilot]

You know it has been a meh E3 when people think Ubisoft won.

 

[lt519]

I mean the conference was good, all games, but man do the games all look samey. Gritty cinematic experiences/open worlds one after the other. I honestly preferred all the games in the pre-show.

I think I'm most hyped for Detroit.

 

[Boke1879]

Microsoft: 7.5 out of 10.
Sony: 5 out of 10, looks like I can still hold out on getting a ps

I mean sure if Spider-man, GOW, Days Gone, Horizon, Detroit etc don't interest you.

 

[pargonta]

where's the 2nd half of the show? what happened to the 2 hour sony festivals.

i guess if you're not trying to sell hardware you start slacking on conferences, hmm.

edit: i guess they are doing 3+ of these events per year... different times

 

[Zee-Row]

Video games are dead

 

[Frost Walrus]

I was underwhelmed, but I wonder if my expectations were too high

 

[ChoppedandScrewed]

When is FromSoftware announcing their stuff?

 

[The JT]

I enjoyed it. Was disappoint not much for 2017 except what Horizon DLC.

 

[Linkyn]

Man, GAF really hates video games. I've seen plenty of stuff from all the conferences that I would love to play.

Don't get me wrong - they've shown at least 4-5 games I'll end up buying, but there was little to no point to this briefing. They mostly showed trailers for games we've known about for several years without giving any new information. For instance, I still don't have a clear idea of what gameplay for eg GoW or Days Gone or Detroit looks like.

 

[Magicgamer101]

Trash. Expected a lot from Sony. Wasted my time staying up for this. The only new thing was Monster Hunter and it looked shit. Spider-Man and GoW looked good I guess.

 

[ZeroX03]

Ouch, Druckmann coming in with the sarcasm.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I'd give Sony a 4/10. Spider-man looked amazing but next year. Destiny 2 stuff looked good. The more I see the more I'm liking. Looking very cinematic.

Rest was of no interest to me. Sadly that won E3 for me. Everyone else bombed hard this year. EA Had Battlefront 2 and that was it. They came in 2nd with a 2/10 from me. Everyone else should just be ashamed.

 

[Generic Power Ranger]

How big a jump did sotc seem from the ps3 version ? I have the remaster (it was on ps+ at some point) and haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

 

[anddo0]

Very lackluster.. No surprises outside of Monster Hunter.
I'm more excited for PC titles at this point. That's my take from E3.

 

[Mathematics]

Was it always scheduled to be one hour? Are they saving everything for the PS Xperience 2017?

 

[KageMaru]

I thought the conference was awesome. Disappointed Shenmue HD wasn't announced (wtf Sega?) but from what they did show looked amazing. At the start of E3 I was hoping VR wouldn't be a focus in any of the conferences but Sony showed some quality content for the platform.

One things for sure, 2018 is going to be an amazing year for gamers.

Underwhelming due to the lack of anything new (I think just Monster Hunter) but some of the games do look very good. Unfortunate that so little was shown for 2017 though.

Almost everything outside of Skyrim was new for PSVR and they revealed Shadow of the Colossus remake.

 

[Ray Down]

What's the third show? All I'm counting is E3 and PSX.

Gamescom/PGS.

 

[Frag Waffles]

Pretty weak.

I had a hunch the show would go just like this. Gameplay updates on games we already knew about, a boring VR segment and a couple 3rd party games...the end. Though I will hand it to em, Days Gone, Spiderman and God of War look astonishing.

Oh well, here's to hoping PSX 2017 is better.

 

[Salty Rice]

Microsoft's conference was miles better. They had surprises, indies, all sorts of shit. 42 games. How many games did Sony show? 15, maybe?

Starting out with two DLCs was a good forewarning that they had nothing major up their sleeves.

Hey Sony could have also shown 40 3rd party multiplatform titles.

Instead they concentrated on mostly their games.

 

[Quotient]

I suspect TLOU 2 is probably a fall 2018 game. I suspect we will see it at PSX or E3 2018.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

some of the games looked cool but almost nothing new

this was pretty sad

at least the pre-show gave us undertale

 

[WetWaffle]

What do you mean 3 shows? What else is there besides E3 and PSX?

 

[13ruce]

Lol Nintendo is maybe even gonna win.
I first thoght it was ridiculous but they have Odyssey and Splatoon story mode + more to show.

 

[Lights and Waves]

People love to shit on Square Enix, but whenever they decide to skip out on an E3 presentation, the entire world melts down. Legends.

 

[bitbydeath]

I wouldn't be shocked if we get PS5 in 2019. This conference feels like a late PS3 conference.

Agreed, is looking very promising for 2019.

 

[brickarts295]

Where the fuck is Sucker Punch?

 

[RecRoulette]

If you replace the pre show with the VR block, this was a great conference

I was interested in more stuff from the pre-show than the actual show, that's a hell of an accomplishment. They should've saved Undertale for the real show.

 

[Clear]

Combined with the pre-show, an easy win for Sony.

Seriously, do not get why people are gushing about Ubi's showing, particularly as it finale was just a lengthy cg intro.

 

[sheamus]

EA: 1/10
MS: 8/10
Bethesda: 3/10
Ubi: 7;10
Sony: 8/10

 

[Salty Hippo]

I wasn't expecting many megatons but I also didn't expect it to be worse than Microsoft's conference. Kinda surreal.

 

[TheExecutive]

This feels like a really late in the lifecycle conference....

 

[bennibop]

Decent conference, probably the best out the lot but that's not saying much. No big reveal was a bit disappointing.

There were two big reveals, they leaked before the conference monster hunter and sotc remake.

 

[Lord Morairty007]

UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy was the best thing they showed in my opinion.

 

[Tiops]

Holy shit, E3 this year is terrible. The "I expected nothing and I'm still let down" image would fit it very well.

 

[Strangelove77]

It was both the best and most disappointing conference.

 

[Quonny]

Is it weird that the game I'm most looking forward to is Moss?

 

[Sojgat]

Video games are dead

Bury them.

 

[Bluenoser]

It's clear Sony is embracing a Spring launch for their games. Nothing wrong with that.

Third party will carry them through the holidays, and really, as far as competition goes, Xbox has what, Forza and Crackdown?

As for the conference, it was straight to the point. Here are a bunch of games, some that you didn't know about, and new footage of the ones you did know about. Enjoy. Not jump out of your seat exciting, but they can't do that every year. Not sure why Sony is the only company held to that standard.

 

[DangerMouse]

No Gran Turismo Sport in the E3 show?

It was in the pre-show
