Sony heavily fucked up last year. I hope Square Enix save us and win E3 2019.
I'm a huge Sony fan but saying they won because they didn't show up is like saying that the ones that did show up somehow harmed the public just by being there.
It was a regular E3 (might be the last). Cool games announced, some leaked before and Keanu Reeves was amazing and unexpected. Of course, showing new hardware is always exciting but it happens once every 6 years (3-4 if you count hw revisions).
Personally got what I was waiting for.
Looking at the overall reaction to the various conferences I don't think its debatable whether Sony stepping back was their best move under the circumstances.
The thing people forget is that prepping for E3 is a lot of work and expense. It needs to justify itself as a business opportunity. There has to be a PR upside to it, but truthfully it isn't very strong this time around both as a consequence of the general state of the market and the lackluster content of these pressers.
Sony had nothing to really show off this year, it's why they pulled out and if it was anything like last year, ehh.. Sony would have been meh.
For doing the humane thing and not contributing to the shit show of E3 2019.
Thanks to you I won't have an hour of my life taken away from me and will go and eat mexican food instead.
Everybody on GAF owes Sony a debt of gratitude for this.
Sony had nothing to show of course they weren't going to show up. You write a love letter for them not even caring enough to put together something for the biggest time of the year. What an absolute joke.
Not sure why people are congratulating them as If Sony’s past launches are anything to go by you are in for a good 2 years of barren first party output for ps5 if they didn’t really have anything to show now...you guys have a real short memory for how shit the output of ps3 and ps4 was on launch...not having anything to show now really does give us an idea on how far along they are development wise for first party.
If you look at the realistic timeline it’s probably going to be Xmas next year ps5 launch’s and you will have a handful of first party stuff on launch and the usual indie and first party remaster fillers padding out the library.
From there you have anything announced at next years e3 outside of launch titles will probably be a minimum of 2 years off and possibly 4 if you look at how many e3s we saw Spider-Man/death stranding/last of us 2/god of war before release...this means most of the stuff you probably won’t be playing anytime soon on ps5 launch meaning your gonna be left with the same gaping hole of releases that would make a Nintendo owner proud.
I suspect your gonna get nothing but 8k remasters of ps4 games with a renewed focus on indie titles for the first couple of years with a couple of big hitters spread out over the first 2 years....just like ps3/ps4
Not really worth congratulating anything.... just the same old crap we got for the last 2 gens
SONY's reaction after MS E3 2019
Sony’s 2018 E3 was easily one of the worst I’ve ever seen, between the lame music fillers, long intermissions, and general awkward feel. It was right up there with Nintendo in 2008 as the worst E3 keynote by a market leader.
The year off, if nothing else, will hopefully let Sony plan a bit better for 2020 and the rollout of the PS5. One less keynote, in an E3 year that’s had mostly poor to mediocre ones, is better on the whole.
Thats a crazy dream man.Still hope Sony close E3 by announcing they're gonna update their network from wap to 3g
Gamers reaction to not have to sit through a 4-game banquet hall with a DJ playing a banjo, while online viewers sit through 10 minute intermissions between games.SONY's reaction after MS E3 2019

Hope that doesn’t happen too often but maybe you do?E3 needs to be shut down and these companies should stick to direct like conferences.
E3 feels like someone has pooped and pissed on me.
Praising a company for doing nothing... fanboys are a strange consumer group.
As Mexican i recommend you Tamales verdes or Chilaquiles.
With all due respect.. Fuck Nintendo. Don't even watch their shit anymore.Ah fuck Sony. What time is the Nintendo conference tomorrow?
Meh, I’m going to side with Nintendo on this one, at least they show up and get space on the floor to please the fans, even if they know they have nothing to show and will get thier asses kicked for it.With all due respect.. Fuck Nintendo. Don't even watch their shit anymore.

I can’t imagine how Nintendo felt a couple times after E3 and going home with thier tails between thier legs, but they still showed up next year and tried again.
Can’t say the same for Sony.
I haven't watched the Ubisoft conference yet. Is it bad?
But hey, Devolver Digital delivers as usual.
That profile picture man!
Not that I think anyone is taking this 100% seriously but ..
Sony did nothing and they still got some mindshare with gamers out of it. This thread being an example.
It's all good. The thinning of games has been a sign for years. Studios finishing games off and then shifting resources and so forth. It use to be we would get greatish launch games, 2nd year quite a few new titles, repeat for third year, fourth year, slow down, year 5 rumours, end of year 5 leaks, year 6, 'people will work extra hours to buy the ps3' like a dick, I was one of those people, despite the fact I told myself that I would not until at least the 2nd year..Not that I think anyone is taking this 100% seriously but ..

A little more seriously:
I think the thinning level of 1st party PS4 content and prepping for a new console announce and library are pretty good takes.
As a cynic I usually assume that mindshare and money is what all these corporations care about.Well if mindshare and money are all they care about, they certainly got that.
So yayyyyyyy
If they love the players and consumers, different story.......
Boooooooo.
So did you win? Or did Sony?
Now that's Savage.OP wins life for not leaving his house.
