My scorecard on all the conferences I've seen:
Sony: 7/10
EA: 6/10
Xbox: 4/10 (honestly adjusted this one later when I realized how little of it stuck in my mind, and how many of their games are on other platforms. They gave very little reason for people to buy their new console).
Didn't see Bethesda and only saw part of Ubisoft. Thought Ubi was pretty dang good from what I saw of it though.

Ubisoft was #1 to me, this was 2nd. There is still Nintendo though I am not expecting much from them.
Anyway the stream quality and sound was bad for me this time and the way the games were presented just felt meh. The content was good, the presentation took a big step down from last year.

I'd say this was par with MS. MS was eh, but at least showed shit that's coming this year, and had a lot of great fanservice (XBOX Backward compatability, Minecraft cross usability), while Sony showed nice looking games (if you're into them) with almost nothing this year.

Luckys Tale isnt that great.
I mean we all complained that our backlogs are bursting with all these insane games releasing and I think theres still alot to be released this year.
Yet, I aswell feel like we didnt really get that many wow announcements this E3.
Guess those quality looking games come at a price, I mean battlefront 2 alone has 3 studios working on it, Games as a service bind capacities....
New games take alot of time these days

No one likes being the butt of the joke though.
I don't think it was bad, but I was hoping more 2017 stuff from Sony

For my tastes, I guess TGS is a better show for me. I should have taken my time off for that.

Time to cancel E3, this shit is pointless. Nobody is making an effort anymore, Layden just put a VHS tape with a reel showing DLC and games announced a year ago.
He probably pressed play and went back home.

Apparently they got downsized? Repeating something I heard on Giant Bomb's stream.

This is what happens when you convince yourselves that DMC5 and TLOU2 will be there.
It was never gonna happen.

Yeah I guess I got too spoiled after their last year E3. Well underwhelm with this conference as much as MS, hopefully Nintendo can save the day.
Not their best, but they showed some great looking games and kept it short.
The VR section in the middle should have been cut, as should some of the set pieces on stage.
God of War and Spiderman were the only standouts to me. Not completely sold on Spidey yet in terms of gameplay.
DLC for Uncharted 4 & Horizon looked fun.
I though Days Gone was ridiculous (in a bad way).
I think the SOTC remake was the only non-VR first party game they announced in the man presentation. Looks great, but needs new content for me to bother.
Monster Hunter World seemed a bit off to me with them trying to be halfway between the Monster Hunter controls and a more Western style. Just ended up looking awkward. That's a multi-plat as are a decent amount of stuff in the middle as always.

We're just looking at the conferences. You'd have to be crazy to think ms has a better line of games, but conference wise? Ms had better variety in pacing.

7/10. Not as crazy as past years, many games exclusives coming out in 2018 but why rush them when CoD and Destiny 2 will carry the holidays​ which has been a theme with Sony the last few years. Let 3rd parties do the hard work for the holidays.

Yeah I'm somewhat wondering if we should be a bit worried about what they are working on. Its been 3 years since Last Light and 4 years since Second Son.
I'm assuming they are building a new IP, and that's a lot of work but still, their silence is slightly worrying

1. Devolver Digital
2. Ubisoft
3. Sony
4. Bethesda
5. Microsoft
6. EA
Ultimately though, no one won. If you were a gamer in the fence then both companies did an alright job. If you were on one side already then you are probably happy with what your console showed. If you're Nintendo or PC, you're laughing or on the toilet.

Stream was also horrible
Shadow of the Colossus remake is enough for me to be satisfied lol. No big surprises but my plate is so full already with games for late 2017 early 2018 I feel fine. Still, one surprise at the end (Sucker Punch? Bloodborne 2?) would have been ideal but I'd give the conference a solid B. Nothing more but nothing less.
Final conference grades:
EA: D-
MS: C+
Bethesda: B-
Ubisoft: B
Sony: B
Now we'll wait and see how things change as the show actually get's started and what's drawling the most buzz.

Solid but no Sucker Punch or Media Molecule is very weird. No live demos. Most of the game play segments seemed pretty lack luster. Days Gone and GOW was dull compared to last year. Spider-Man looked insane in 4K. This year is all about PSX it seems. Oh well.
SOTC and DB Fighterz stole the weekend before the damn thing even started! Fuck me i'm so hyped for both of those.

Man what a disappointment that was. I fell for the SOCOM hype, but of course Bravo Team turns out to be a bland and boring looking VR title lol.

Sooo what sony games are you looking forward to this fall?
Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Everybody's Golf, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Yakuza Kiwami, Ni No Kuni II*, Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Lands, Hidden Agenda, Knack 2 and Gran Turismo Sport are the exclusives for the remainder of 2017.
*console exclusive

ٌReplace Ubi score with Bethesda and you will be accurate.
Overall a boring E3 all around.
Exactly.
I mean, I want to see RE2, but there was NO EVIDENCE it would be there.
Basically.

Yeah, I mean, nothing can really top last year's E3 and the beginning of this year in terms of non-stop quality. Multiple games so far this year would've been GOT 2014 without a doubt.
We're gonna need to go down so we can go up again, it's the E3 rollercoaster guys.
For every E3 2016 there are many E3 2017.
