Sunset Overdrive still fits the mold for past games that were ported to PC.
In Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, and Ryse were all third party games where the developer owns the IP, two of which were later proven to be temporary exclusive deals and were ported to PC. Guess we will find out in a few months.

Enter the Gungeon. I've played it. It's fun.

That's a good point. Although Sony and MS do have studios outside of their own at their conferences. PC just needs a bigger budget for their conference probably. Also a few more years to learn from previous years through fan feedback. Solid first year though.
So I guess they just need a bigger cheque from AMD or have Nvidia step up and out-do AMD next year. I dunno.
I think it was more of a jab at console manufacturers having that kind of "FOR GAMERS!" pathos (not sure if that's the right word, but hey - not a native speaker) coming off kinda... sterile?
No HL3 and now this!?!??! My life is a lie!I came over to see it first hand. MS is demoing the game streaming features to surface tablets through windows 10.
Sorry for the confusion!
Blizzard announced 3 free prologue missions for SC2 available to anyone...that's not not doing anything.
Wait what. How did I miss that? My eyes were glued to the TV. D:

And it is Valve's fault. If they just COMMUNICATED they could have stopped this madness years ago when people were still expecting Episode 3.
He's right though, Day9 is genuinely that estatic about games. I would be too if I streamed and talked about video games for a living, though I wouldn't be able to be nearly as charismatic.
It did drag on though, mainly because even with all those devs Blizzard + AMD took a huge chunk of time, as did Bohemian's games which not everyone is into.
But yeah, PC gaming does not lend itself well to any format that has to pick and choose to come down to a handful of devs because of how much stuff there is on the platform. I think the conference did the best it could with that problem for its first time.

You could possibly lose some press outlets if they did something like this on a cable network right? Have it be an hour long nightly talk show? You could have special guest, internet celebrities, and then maybe a musical guest of a soundtrack to a popular game or something maybe obscure. You could do this same event, but weekly. I'd watch it.
I don't know about losing any press outlets, but a nightly show or a weekly show on a cable or internet service would be interesting. Like a David Letterman PC gamer talk show or something.

The KI and Gears announcements were the peak of the show for me. Can't believe MS might actually be turning it around for PC gamers.

On the PC gamer post conference stream Tom Marks said they did invite Valve but they declined.
I'm not disappointed and never expect it, but it's obvious Valve don't give a flying fuck about it. I mean the best I can say is they didn't announce it too early.

I don't disagree, but that same sentiment can also be aimed at Shenmue 3 and a remake of FF7

So apparently Tom Marks from PC Gamer said they did invite Valve but they said no.

Just to clarify, I think that it was the best conference because of that. The laid back, actual discussion of games and their developments. And more honest questions about certain developers and their efforts.
The other cons felt like Soviet Army parades, hollow boasts of nebulous achievements and pure sky gazing after emotional manipulation.
Still, it would not surprise me if Day9 gets a gig at one of those next year. The guy carried three hours on his shoulders like a beautiful atlas.
It's not dead, but they have made it beyond clear that it is years away.
It was right after they showed the SC2:LotV trailer.
Damn you people for making me defend Blizzard.
Edit: ^^^ Hair looks like ass TBH.

I missed the Lisa Su backstage mic part, can someone link it
I pretty much agree. The only reason some people are disappointed is because they either didn't get to see games they were interested in or expected more reveals of grandiose proportions and a panoply of faux exclusive nonsense.
In the end with the amount of time they had, the fit a diverse set of games and announcements together in a more laid back and informative manner as promised.

Didn't she just say "I did it!" or something to that effect? Didn't miss much.
We asked Valve, yep, but they said they weren't doing E3.

This won E3 for me. I enjoyed it the most out of any conference.

Sony conference made me want to get a PS4 for the first time (I am a PC Gamer).
If I were a console gamer that just watched the PC conference, I would honestly see no value in what I just saw.

I bet Valve doesn't want to do anything until they announce their next game, and when they do it'll be an event held by them.
I mostly agree. I think they didn't want to announce the game until they were ready to ship but obviously they never got to the ready to ship part.
Granted, this is the year that dead games come back to life. But it's still unreasonable to expect HL3 to be resurrected as well.
If they are making HL3 for VR, it's likely that development had to start from scratch.

Played Enter the Gungeon at PAX South. Loved it like crazy. I'm more hype for than that game than a lot of big releases.
there is something so funny and tragic about this

That's unfortunate.
I really feel conflicted about Valve nowadays. I used to love them, but they don't make anything that interests me anymore.
I mean, yeah they run steam and Dota etc. But the "valve doesn't make games" meme exists for a reason.
bleh, I'm salty.
What games made you want a ps4?

For me this was a good festival of games, really liked it, I hope they just put a "Presented by AMD" before each trailer next year or something, there are better places for showing hardware,
Fair point, but as a celebration of a platform and a show for PC gamers I think it was great. Cool treat and a way to be included in the gaming holiday that is E3.
