Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Sony E3 2017 Conference Thread [Over]
- Thread starter ULTROS!
- Start date

seemed to me that everyone gave an enthusiastic response to most games? the crowd might have been intentionally drowned out.

Let it go.
The weird thing is that Sony could have easily had the best conference but whoever planned and arranged the order of everything completely failed, if you move the VR block to the preshow and replace it with Hidden Agenda, Matterfall, and Ni No Kuni the conference would flown way smoother. Also they should've had Shadow of the Colossus or Monster Hunter end the conference and had spiderman in the middle
got exactly what I wanted out of the conference. Days Gone has my attention going forward. GoW and Spider-Man had saying "holy shit" numerous times. Uncharted LL will be a day 1 buy for me. then i'll have Destiny 2, COD, Battlefront etc this fall to keep me busy till next year when the big exclusives start dropping
that i agree with. psx is also supposed to be for smaller devs too. it was kind of crummy to open and close with new naughty dog projects to be honest.

Missed the preshow so I'm recapping now, but it looks like they showed off all the games that are due out this year during this section.

One thing I thought Sony did particularly poorly was showing a group of the audience that looked pretty unenthusiastic about whatever was just shown.
I mean, I thought most of Sony's stuff wasn't great either, but they just kept focusing on portions of the crowd that looked indifferent about whatever trailer was just shown. I felt that they did a really poor job of showing me that people were excited.
It's true it was a bit soulless for me too, but the games shown seem good (some of them rather epic), but somehow the conference lacked passion.
Still, it was probably the best conference this year, thanks to the sheer amount of time spent showing games.
As for first party, GOW, Spiderman and Detroit are looking jaw dropping, Days Gone looks a bit meh, (except maybe the part where he unleashes the horde of zombies) but they deserve the time as this is their first AAA title.
I never thought I'll say this, but I actually missed the indies montage.
All in all, Imo this was a solid show, but nowhere as epic as the last two.

I think everything they showed except for Shadow of the Colossus will be out before next E3 so next year will feel a lot fresher.

Instead of being too incredulous of how people could call Sony's showing terrible, let me just list the games I want to buy from the show and pre-show. This is from the top of my head
Pre:
Undertale (announcement)
Everybodys Golf
Hidden Agenda (announcement)
Ni No Kuni II
Crash Bandicoot Collection
Possibly GT Sport (previously unconvinced, never played a GT)
Conference:
Uncharted
Days Gone (previously unconvinced)
God of War (will be my first)
Shadow of the Colossus Remake! (announcement)
Detroit
Spiderman
Possibly Destiny 2
And a couple of VR games if I ever get that. That's a lot! From MS and EA I got 2-3 games a piece. And it was only a hour long.
Awesome press conference for me. Don't know what else to say.

E3 this year has been kind of weird in general. Sony blew its load with the E3 of Dreams and all that prior which in some ways did impact this year quite a bit. Stuff that was shown last E3 showed up again this E3 and is still going to be unreleased until sometime 2018 and this E3 they really skipped showing off any hint of the next wave of software.
E3 this year has taken on a very Nintendo like approach to title presentation across many companies. Not really a bad thing per say but it is very different for most of the companies than how they have usually handled E3.

Seems like a waste to rent that theatre and get all those people in there just for a trailer playlist; might as well do what Nintendo does and make it all digital.
Also, nothing new from this conference (except maybe the SotC remake), only elaborations on previously announced stuff. They barely bothered to show up this year, and it seemed like their stuff won't make it this year either.
A weak conference compared to the ones shown this year so far.

Since when didn't they?
People like new announcements as can be seen in this thread, not everyone might like it.
As I said can't please everyone, that's just how it is.
I think Ubisoft won this year by far.
Couldn't give less of a shit about Uncharted so opening with it did very little for me. Shadow of the Colossus looks lovely but it is a remake, nothing necessarily *new* in the traditional sense of the word. Days Gone looks painfully derivative and just plain boring. God of War continues to look beautiful and a refreshing change of course for the series. VR continues to be something I'm glad Sony supports despite not being able to afford it. Spiderman looks incredible despite the quick time events.
No fucking Bloodborne II.
Ehh.

Ehh.

Lost Legacy, Days Gone, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Detroit, Spider-Man. All highlights for me. All big time exclusives. Boy I could talk about each of these forever. Each one delighted me so much! (and NNK2 in the pre-show).
I don't think the press conf. was as good as the past two years, but boy it was still fantastic! Best conference so far this E3.

Kind of exciting that FromSoft's next ARPG will be even more of a significant change than I thought, with another year being taken off. Looking forward to the day they reveal what they've been working hard on!

They like new stuff, but no one wants to see "coming in two or three years" on the screen.
I don't think that's the problem though. I think they edited their games to promote to a specific audience: those who like western, cinematic experiences of the Naughty Dog variety. We saw almost no Japanese games, even though I'm sure there are some interesting titles coming in the next year or two. It felt like a PS3-era keynote to me.
Microsoft had original stuff. If you count "original" games as titles that were previously unannounced, I think they fared about as well or better than Sony.

Hey guys, remember WiLD?
They will be cross gen at a minimum for sure at this point. Could be a PS4 Pro/PS5 only type deal

Can u do me a favor because You broke my heart. Do u know what the rumored setting is because if it's Mayan which people want I will literally way all the years for that because that would be so rad

Hypothetically, they could announce stuff they have in the pipeline. Deals are always getting signed, and there's always a game just starting production.
The risk you take with that is that after you announce, things fall apart. The game you pitched to people either changes entirely (BG&E2), gets delayed multiple times over (KH3), or gets outright cancelled (Scalebound). That's something to be avoided.
So at some point, Sony had to reign things in. Which leaves us with shows like tonight.

I think you mean the PS4 Pro Pro. Generations are dead, remember?
I think Ubisoft showed off too much stuff that was in the way distant future. But kudos to them for keeping Mario x Rabbids mostly under wraps. It leaked, but even considering that it was still only a few months from reveal to release.
Pretty wide range of thing shown... what are games you want to play?

Wasn't that someone getting things confused with Absolver?

Felt rehashed. Nice to see some more progress on the games but it's more of the same. After seeing Anthem, Destiny 2 seems lackluster but I'm still gonna put 1000 hours on it in the meantime.

I think that's fair. I would still lean more towards a B though.

C'mon December!
Nah, the timing of the conference was too precise around 60 minutes for that. Just a quiet year for them after two wild shows.

Uncharted DOC is a buy for me.
Days Gone looked cool, but it threw me off that there are extremely deadly zombie hordes feeding and he's like "fuck it, I'm jumping down". So much different from the tension of TLOU.
Monster Hunter could be cool.
Detroit is on my buy list. Love the subject matter.

Killer Queen tried to warn you guys. I'm still not sure why FROM announcement was expected this year.
This.
Tastes aside (i'm one of those that are still not sold on Days Gone),. I found the order at which they presented the games a bit baffling.
Wild is not cancelled he mention on instagram that it wouldn't be at E3. He's been busy with this game and beyond good and evil 2. Kinda of thinking Sony liked the response it got and dumped some extra development funding into it.
