The thing is, if Sony open with the right game, then what you said is not hyperbole at all. That's how underwhelming EA's conference was.

People are mad at EA. Lawd. Too many teasers tho. I'll say that much.
I mean seriously another Dev video for Mass Effect?

That at least had a decent amount of game footage. But that Star Wars video...Wow...
They just need to open with GoW IV or Bend's game and that would actually turn out to be true.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
Gimme GoW 4 and Crash plz. Never cared about Agent and never will.
Just realized that Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, Watch Dogs 2, Dishonored 2, Mafia 3, Gears Of War 4, CoD IW, GT Sport, PKMN Sun & Moon, World Of FF, DQ Builders are all beeing released between October 7 and November 18. Too many games, too little time
Also, none of this are entirely new IP's lol

But those Star Wars games aren't supposed to be out for a long time. Mass Effect is slated to release in less than a year! And it's barely cohered into a game-like concept.
Yea some games are just going to get lost in the shuffle.
Yep thats why Horizon release date is great.
Sony could open with Skylanders Crash edition and as long as it had gameplay it would be better than that dog shit of a show.
At these events seeing dev diaries and concept art and behind the scenes PCs doing game engine shit is the most pointless thing. You put that in your special edition! Not your press conference that's supposed to sell me the game and your idea for the future of Star Wars.

You could likely cram in psvr and titles, nba 2k and wwe 17, it becomes perfectly clear why sony decided post holiday was good for Horizon

Man, all these leaks are so sad. I hope Sony can still hold strong until tomorrow.

That's true, I guess what pisses me off is that they spent time on concepts. They did that in 2014 with Criterion's new game, which i'm really excited about. Of course we haven't heard or seen anything from that game since.
That EA conference was really underwhelming. I expected a big Star Wars blowout/ a nice Mass Effect demo. Those 2 things felt like locks for the conference, and somehow we got neither. The way they're talking about Mass Effect, there's no way that's in the first half of 2017, which is insane, because counting dev diaries, how many E3's has Mass Effect had? Visceral's Star Wars game is falling in that same boat, it's been at a few E3's through dev diaries, and it has next years E3 where hopefully we get a trailer, then probably the 2018 E3.
I think they did a good job handling Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1, and the EA originals are cool, but the last few years it's felt like EA has had the worst conference, in terms of content anyway. Pacing I don't think they're awful at, I think Ubisoft and Nintendo had worse pacing last year, but better content than EA. This year, even Nintendo having a better E3 than EA is a lock.

I will never watch a live ea conference again
Just listing games which have concrete dates right now, Im sure this list will be way bigger
If they can make it through tonight they are ok.
they have to make it through half of tomorrow too. their conference isn't until tomorrow night.
Yep, the ol' concept video. If I'm not mistaken they did a Star Wars concept vid in 2014 as well.
Capcoms got RE7 to show off so it seems like a nay.
I know, I'm sad as well. Let's hold on for TGS in September.
It really helps that they have separate people that know about the first party stuff or the third party stuff. Probably the only people to know both in the company are Kaz, Laydon, and House.

Damnit, I missed Enter the Dragon Punch.
I wanted to know what he thinks of Sony vs. MS's conference this year.

He already said that he did not know about 99 percent of Sony's
That EA conference was so bad yuck
the very first thing Sony/MS will show will probably surpass it alone.
Nah, it's gonna be August game
BELIEVE.

EA conference was a pile of dog shit. Titanfall 2 looked like crap,very little footage of Mass Effect and half of the show devoted to sports.

I don't think I've ever watched an EA or Activision conference. Only once in a blue moon you get a Dead Space or Mirror's Edge.

That and the Star Wars stuff. Easy to see why people are frustrated.
I'm not an Insider but my guess is no.

I just wanted mass effect ...
What are you talking about titanfall 2 looked amazing it both of it's trailers. That and battlefield one were the only highlights though.
I get that. But all the focus will be on MS and their conference, then Ubi etc. There will just be a huge influx of info that I think anything "leaked" kinda gets lost. That said I hope it's not leaks like what happened in the MS thread. Holy shit that's like the titanic sinking.
It really makes you wonder how they can do it so badly. They're a huge company with huge resources and it comes across as quite tone deaf (all that FIFA story build up with the actor on stage) and really bland.
At least Sony know about building hype and actually connecting with people emotionally like in their build up montages and stuff. Adverts like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZkMdi3XBhw
EA have done virtually nothing they can actually show you that makes you nostalgic for anything. Nostalgia for that time you bought the same game for the 5th time in a row just for a slight roster update!
There's so little to make you warm inside, lol.Primethius

Oh, I missed that. Being on a different schedule then most of the board sucks.
(MS conference is 9:30 at night for me and Sony at 6 in the morning, so atleast I can sleep the gap away).
