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.

    • I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
