Just coming in. Was FF7 remake or Shenmue 3 mentioned?

 

[Gurish]

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

Ubi got their own "exclusive" line up, and what was "wow" and "holy shit" at MS's press conf?

It was horrible, tons of faceless indies and almost all of them were timed exclusives, I can accept Ubi or others winning but MS got almost nothing of their own.

 

[True Fire]

The best news for Sony out of this E3 (besides Undertale) is literally The Witcher 3 Pro Patch lol

Where the Hell is Dreams?

In the back with Scalebound

 

[RedHill]

WHERE 👏 IS 👏 SUCKER 👏 PUNCH

 

[Ravage_Hydra]

Didn't wanna believe it, But Sony also doing PSX every year may just be hurting there e3 show, The fact it was only one hour long was the real shock for me

 

[Double Donut]

Disappointed heavily. Damn.

 

[RΛVE]

DMC is dead guys.

Don't say that.

 

[Rabbit Clock]

I guess some people are easily impressed. That was one of the worst E3 press conferences I've ever seen. They announced nothing. All the conferences were bad up to this point.. but that takes the cake. Jesus.

 

[xkramz]

lots of the shit they announced was at last E3...

 

[JTDailyUpdate]

lmao, I am fully expecting this to be the result tomorrow. People should really temper their expectations for Nintendo outside of Mario Odyssey.

In case Nintendo doesn't deliver; just replace Nintendo with devolver digital and you're good.

 

[Death Metalist]

Ubisoft so far had the best conference for me in terms of tightness, surprises and vibes. This was my reaction to the Sony conference and no this was not edited. Also everything is 2018.

 

[george_us]

I don't really get the hype for Ubi's conference. The best thing they had there was a (very cool) CGI trailer for a game coming god knows when, if it doesn't get outright cancelled again.

Sony's was light on the surprises but had a ton of gameplay to back it up. God of War and Spider-Man look incredible, as does the Uncharted The Lost Legacy. Plus there's bound to be stuff that didn't make it into the sizzle reel that'll get announced on the show floor.

 

[DukeBobby]

Absolutely nothing in that conference excited me.

God, I hate being a jaded bastard.

 

[mightynine]

They didn't need any of those expensive flashy stage pieces whatsoever

Hey, those stuntmen gotta eat

 

[Fess]

When they say that everything is about the games then they better deliver better than this. PS5 must be close or Sony has truly lost it's edge right now. It was like they weren't even trying.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

They could of just did what Nintendo does a 30 min pre made video. I was hoping some new PSN news or service updates or new bundles.

 

[Wanderer5]

Bethesda and Ubisoft > Sony and Microsoft

Eh yeah the more I look backed at this, it does feel quite a letdown compare to last year especially.

 

[Belgian Dude]

I think this'd have been better as a 20 min pre-recorded vid if it was gonna be like this. Show 2 min compilations of gameplay/scenes instead of 10 continuous minutes of the same sequence where you do roughly the same things or just watch the story unfold slowly.

Uncharted/SoTC both did it well, I'd say, though Uncharted also dragged on for a lot longer than it should have and seems to reveal too much shit from the plot.
E: (like the preshow basically)

The best part of spooderman were the five seconds where he attacked three people by pulling the girdle. Everything else was Batman and the "action" sequence was so goddamn scripted :/

 

[Cinnamon Bun]

Days gone look amazing

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Most underwhelming conference for me, relative to expectations of course. I'm interested in Spider-Man and possibly God of War but I'm worried about how the combat is going to feel with the camera so close. Very forgettable presentation overall.

 

[Mass Effect]

It's relevant again!

what year was this made for?

 

[Ithil]

Just noticed that almost every notable game was the same as last year. GOW, Spider-Man, Days Gone, Detroit, etc.

 

[PR_rambo]

Steph Curry has won E3

 

[Delstius]

Stream was also horrible

Accurate.

 

[HeavenlyE]

Sony needs to never have a VR block part of their conferences again and stop having supermassive waste their time on VR games

 

[duhmetree]

It was missing 1 or 2 more games.

SuckerPunch IP and a Japanse ARPG

 

[Poster#1]

What a boring show

 

[WetWaffle]

I'm attributing the response to conference end cynicism, but did people over hype themselves? Were there even any hints at DMC 5? or TLOU2? or From? etc

 

[Dangansona]

Lol what are y'all on about? That was a great press conference. Not perfect, but great.

Good presentation a lot of things missing that are available at E3. Nino Kuni, Gran Turismo, Nex Machina, Matterfall.

They were in the pre-show which was ridiculous by itself.

 

[Clancy]

Uhhhhhh?

Microsoft
Lucky the Fox (lol)
Sea of Thieves (PC)
Crackdown (PC)
Forza7 (PC)
Cuphead (PC)


Sony
God of War
Days gone By
Shadow of the Collosus
Uncharted Stand Alone
Spiderman
Detroit


People saying Microsoft's conference was better are straight up trolling.

You’re being purposely obtuse. After years of begging, MS now makes games for all of their OSes and it’s somehow a bad thing.

 

[mave198]

Really was hoping to see RE2 Remake, a new From game, Sucker Punch (the hell are they working on??).

Also this wasn't much of a conference. More like a bunch of trailers with no presenters.


6/10.

 

[Trojita]

Just coming in. Was FF7 remake or Shenmue 3 mentioned?

Leave now before you get sucked into the maelstrom.

 

[Detective]

Where is resident evil 2 remake?

 

[4 is a cutie]

I genuinely feel this is the worst conference they have put together since they started telecasting them. People say 2006 was bad but in reality that showing was loaded with a bunch of fantastic megatons including two new Final Fantasy games. This was... Well nothing really. No embarassing moments because barely anyone spoke. They just showed trailers for a bunch of QTE fests snd cut the lights. Nothing to even talk about. A boring showing is far worse than one with goofy mistakes.

People are like "finally no cringe!" like a cornball on stage wouldn't have brought some life to the conference

 

[outunderthestars]

They were both so average that I wouldn't even hazard a pick. It's like trying to figure out which bathwater was more lukewarm. There is nothing wrong with lukewarm. There are plenty of games I want that were on both stages.

At least MS showed some weird indies and quirky small scale stuff.


Sony pre-show > Sony conference

 

[10101]

I enjoyed that, Days Gone, Spidey & GoW looked amazing

However it is now extremely late and I need sleep lol.

 

[Cornbread78]

Aqua's reaction is not wrong.

Seriously.... mothing for me here. I would have been happy with just a Xenosaga HD announcement.

Oh well, more ge already coming out than I have tine to play anyhow....

You're an anime?

We are all animu

 

[MrS]

Shellshocked here. Devolver won E3. Who could have predicted this?

Where is resident evil 2 remake?

Really wanna know this too. My most wanted game.

 

[Salty Rice]

The Funny part is. Sony had 3 shows!

- Microsoft for the third party Games
- Pre-show for the indies, Vr and some new announcements
- E3 showcase for the blockbusters

Thats pretty much how i see it.

Why waste another hour for shit we already saw from other conferences.

They could have easily gone 2 hours and wasted our time with 3rd party stuff.

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

I've only seen MS's and now Sony's Conferences and while MS had a solid but not great conference their presentation was significantly better than Sony's in my opinion. Sony's Conference felt rushed and the VR stuff nearly put me to sleep. My excitement for the Xbox One X is off the charts. To each their own though, to each their own.

After the show was over you could tell the audience was like, are we sure that's it, I think there is more coming. Finally people slowly started getting up and leaving lol.

 

[reKon]

Gamers are the worst sometimes, I swear.

This is my conclusion this E3.

 

[Adnor]

Holy shit

 

[Matt]

Not a great show.

I never played SotC though, so that's cool. And SM will probably be a lot of fun.

 

[DangerMouse]

Not bad, not great either.

Order of games shown could be better.

Early 2018 is stacked of PS4 exclusives. Nobody would want to fight giant multiplats in holiday 2017 anyway.

This. They easily could have swapped a few games around to have a better steady build.

 

[Proteus Maximus]

It wasn't a bad conference but I was left a little underwhelmed by it. Maybe we'll get more information in the coming days of the smaller announcements.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

This conference would have been so much better had they shown Superhot, Ni no Kuni, Undertale, and a few other announcements from the pre-show on stage. They really needed some not-AAA titles to space things out.

I still think it beats Microsoft's though, at least I felt justified owning the hardware.

 

[AgentLampshade]

This is what happens when you convince yourselves that DMC5 and TLOU2 will be there.

It was never gonna happen.

Actually I just convinced myself SOMETHING interesting would be there. The only positives I walked out with are:

God of War will probably have a good story.
Spider-Man looked decent enough.

 

[DataGhost]

Just coming in. Was FF7 remake or Shenmue 3 mentioned?

No

 

[Combichristoffersen]

The only thing from Bethesda i remember was Wolfenstein and thats it.

Wolfenstein 2 and The Evil Within 2.

Ubishit had their regular Ubishit.

 

[Seiryoden]

It's hard to follow Sony 15 & 16. 8/10

I think the general standard has risen across all conferences this year but it's been a good, not great E3.
