Lol Nintendo. Save us!
That was their weakest showing in years, especially if you consider their lineup of exclusives for 2017. The big guns, that matter to most (Dad of War, SOTC, Spider-Man) are all dropping in '18.
Microsoft and Ubisoft were better. Both of them. And I'm saying that after I considered their last conferences to be some of the best ever.

No they'be just had two amazing E3s and a great PSX in a row now. The negative of that is we kind of know everything they are working on now except Sucker Punch who I'm surprised weren't here
sad but true
It's especially hard to believe considering they didn't "dominate" them.
Lmao. C'mon man. I've been trashing MS for months now and even I'm not that deluded. Third party Scorpio games will of course looks better than Pro games. There's no doubt.
Come the fuck on. Underwhelming perhaps, but weakest ever?
No there wasn't. Why are you openingly lying?

Almost choked when I saw that Skyrim VR trailer.
Also, can we talk about how Extreme Fishing FF XV was the only VR trailer with a hint of a VR HUD. Were it not for the PSVR logo in the corner of the screen, you literally wouldn not have been able to tell those were VR games. That's not a good way to market them, I think.

You need to show "wow" "Holy shit" games to win a conference, not exclusives. Or is Ubisoft not having their own console means they can't win

That was on the level of the MS conference --it was decent-- but for different reasons. Not many new surprises or new IPs, outside of the SOTC remake. I think this may had been in light of the recent complaints about them revealing games too early though (there's always PSX at the end of the year to provide more game reveals). There also seemed to be less variety overall compared to MS. I don't think they even had an indie showcase.
With that said, I also think Sony made up for it with a strong line of first-party titles. Uncharted, Days Gone, and GoW among others all looked pretty solid. They also seem to be showing a decent amount of VR support too. And personally for me, Insomniac's Spider-Man showcase made it the best game of the show I've seen so far, that looked incredible. I think only Super Mario Odyssey's reveal tomorrow at Nintendo's Spotlight can give it competition for me.

Only Shadow of the Collosus wasn't at last year's E3 and it's a remake....
I see you missed the preshow. GT Sport, Hidden Agenda, etc are all 2017.
Wasn't much of a conference, they just kept showing trailers of more or less interesting games. Basically a huge waste of everyones time.

It's relevant again!
+ Monster Hunter World
+ Shadow of the Colossus
+ Skyrim VR
+ God of War gameplay
+ Undertale Vita
- Days Gone gameplay. Looks dull. Stealth + Zombies not a good combination.
- Spiderman gameplay. Too scripted.
- Everything is 2018
- Detroit gameplay. Basically a glorified science adventure game from 5pb
- Uncharted expansion look boring. Chloe + Jungle = Tomb Raider Underworld
- So is Horizon expansion (did we need this)
+ Shadow of the Colossus
+ Skyrim VR
+ God of War gameplay
+ Undertale Vita
- Days Gone gameplay. Looks dull. Stealth + Zombies not a good combination.

hard to impress us as we've seen all these games already. God of War, Days Gone and Spider man look fantastic, and likely day ones, but the hype just wasn't there. I knew last year was just too good, will be one of the best E3 for a while I think.
Although Sony does have Dreams, Sucker Punch game, and TLOU2.
This E3 just didn't bring the hype much..
Ironically, it's actually time to play the darn video games now as they are coming out lol...So I can't complaint too much. I'd much rather have amazing games to play than to be hype.
But yeah, overall lackluster E3 across the board. Stuff looks good, but the highlights and surprises are just few and far in between.

Only time I stopped and said 'WOW" this entire e3 so far.

No, but the quality of their presentation really fell this year.
I dont even know what the fuck is happening with E3 this year. All conferences have been abysmal.
I don't get the hate.. However, you'll be playing most of those MS games in 2017.
I look at my PS4 and I'm not sure what I'll be playing outside of GT Sport in 2017.
At least write a normal reply and not this shit.
Same, Moss and SotC Remake were the biggest highlights for me.
Not a very exciting Sony conference, but it's hard to top 2015 and 2016.

I am feeling a bit letdown. Nothing new was really shown. I was kinda hoping some Kingdom Hearts 3 action 
Spiderman looks good.

A lot of what I saw was terrific.
I guess it's more what I didn't see: Sucker Punch's new IP, Dreams, WiLD update, etc.
But there was a lot of great stuff that got me extremely excited. I read from one of the insiders that it won't be the best Sony conference but it'd be good with some new announcements, and that's what I got, so all in all, I really loved it. Not quite 2015/2016 in terms of new stuff, but definitely great in terms of the content.

Oddly, you're spot on there. Hell of a thing.
Because he uses stealth all the time?
It was as bad as Xbox.

Great games, just nothing really new this year.
yeah, it was pretty light, i think we all expected to see updates from older announcements... but there was even less of that than I was expecting
still God of War and Spider-Man look proper next-gen insane and polished as hell
Days Gone showed a considerable improvement also

You know what I think Sony dialled it back because of complaints they show games too early.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Everything they showed was going to be pretty much out within the year. And most of it we've already seen or was announced. Where the last 2 years we got games a little while off but they were really big exciting stuff we'd never seen.
It was short and sweet and therefore disappointing. Nice to see games coming soon and more of them. But I prefer E3 for the big announcements and huge surprises we've been spoilt with in recent years.
