Sony showed off enough content that I want to result in me being very happy with their conference.

Overall, it did exactly what I wanted and was able to match the MS conference for me. I'm so happy to see ALOT of games in my future for both consoles.

Oh and..... Grim Fandango!!!!!!!

The only minuses I would give Sony would be based on a few parts that got really slow and took some of the edge off the excitement of the games, and for the lack of detail on games I really want to see (The Last Guardian and Project Beast come to mind)

Oh yeah I was so annoyed they didn't show TLOU gameplay. Given they said thats what is different. They said they used Cutscene models ingame. So showing us slightly sharper cutscenes isn't good. I want to see part of a level played. 

The problem with the MS games is that even their new games aren't that interesting this year.

 

Sunset overdrive looks pretty damn great.  There big highlights were remakes of Halo and a remake of Crackdown though.  I get that Halo sells and people love the series but announce new games, not stuff we played 5-10 years ago.  

So that's it?

 

Well overall feeling is a meh. Neither Sony nor Microsoft showed anything particularly noteworthy.

So many remakes and sequels.

I'm more disappointed by Sony's lineup than Microsoft's, I was expecting a little more variety from Sony. But no, just the same old rehashed stuff. About the best thing between the two conferences was Insomniac's surprise trailer. 

 

All aboard the Nintendo hype train I guess. 

Time to crash :sleep: These E3 marathons don't get any easier :p

 

Now don't you guys be trolling while I'm sleeping. I'll catch up with you tomorrow :rofl:

 

Have a good one and see you for Nintendo. I'll update the OPs with as much news as I can later today.

I felt like sony was trying to troll Microsoft with the TV and camera things ...


I have no interest in Sunset overdrive, give me Uncharted instead anyday!

 

For my own taste in gaming the most interesting exclusive shown in both conferences was The Order.

 

Sunset Overdrive looks really nice tough imo.

Regarding Project Beast, you guys were right, but my mistake was confusing that name with Capcom's Deep Down game. That was the game that I was hoping to see more of.

Sunset looks bad, the gameplay may be fun, but looks bad.

So The order is not a multi-platform?

please, lets refrain from making statements based on opinion and pushing them as a general truth.

The Order is PS4 only.

Sunset looks bad, the gameplay may be fun, but looks bad.

So The order is not a multi-platform?

Ah so graphics are more important than gameplay? The Order looked dull to me, but oh well " ooh shiny "

I think both conferences were actually weak. To the point i'm not even sure i'll buy a new console this year. I'll play all multiplatform games on PC anyway. There's no way i'm gonna play Witcher 3 or the new Batman on consoles while i can play them with real next gen gfx on PC.

 

I can't recall all exclusives shown and i'll surely forget one of two but for the most part it was meh.

 

Fable 3 : i've yet to play a great Fable game. They are okay but ...

Forza Horizon 2 : i'm interested i like Forza serie but on another hand i like GRID/Dirt series too and i can live with only thoses.

Sunset Overdrive : looks cool i want to play it.

Crackdown 3 : I liked the first one but it was also lackluster and a disappointment so i'm not holding my breath too much.

Dead Rising 3 DLC : AWESOME TRAILER hope it is coming to PC too.

Scalebond : looks bad but i'll need to see more but is it like Pokemon for adults ???

Halo 5 : was not really shown :( .

Halo 2 HD with all the bugs that killed the original at high level on XBox forcing people to use trial accounts to start at low level again and avoid all the exploits in the game : yeah GREAT move to include the stupid superjump. ***** the map you said you loved so much while playing was almost **** unplayable at high level because of the stupid superjump. Educate yourself about a game before you go to speak in a press conference. What's next the return of bridging just for Halo 2 HD ... hope they did not forget triple weilding for extra ammo. It was a hard to do exploit but with needlers it was deadly.

 

The Order : looks awesome don't care about the black borers it looks really cool.

Uncharted 4 : never cared that much about uncharted and probably never will.

LBP 3 : looks like a great family game again. I could see myself playing that with my daughter no doubt about it.

Entwined : looks nice but well definitely not a system seller.

Let it die (not sure it is exclusive) : did not see enough but looks meh right now not a big fan of Grasshopper anyway.

Bloodborn (not sure it is exclusive) : did not see enough of it but it is From Software should be a good game at the very least.

Last of US HD : really want to play this one. One of the two PS3 games last generation i wanted to play on my 360 (with Journey).

Second Son DLC : looks nice but not a fan of Infamous either.

 

Anyway dunno i feel like in both case it is missing something. Specially something new. I mean Horizon 2, Crackdown 3, Fable 3, Uncharted 4, Halo 4, DLCs, lot of sequels few original content. I'm dying to play Last of US tough.

Sunset looks bad, the gameplay may be fun, but looks bad.

 

 

Who cares if it looks bad. Lifeless Planet gfx are average at best but i would still play that over a new craptacular Call of Duty.

Regarding Project Beast, you guys were right, but my mistake was confusing that name with Capcom's Deep Down game. That was the game that I was hoping to see more of.

 

 

 Me too it was a big letdown to be honest to not see that Capcom title.

Never understood the hype behind LBP. Would take Uncharted any day though, but unfortunately that's about all...not enough to get me to shell out for a PS4.

 

People have kids. Would you play Gear of Wars with a 9 years old girl ???

 

Nah you play Little big planet or Lego games or Mario games.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
