the big problem for sony now is that they were probably building their campaign around the drm issue. they're going to have to bring a different angle now.
it was only microsoft who saved them from an entirely mediocre conference.
They were both mediocre.
But Sony had more varied games shown for both ps3 and ps4.
I thought XBox had a better game showing, and better exclusives in general.
The only games from the MS conference that interested me were Crimson Dragon and Metal Gear Solid 5. I thought Dead Rising 3 misses the entire point of the franchise, that Sunset Overdrive game is by Imsoniac (hit and miss) and doesn't look like anything I can't do in Left 4 Dead, Halo is Halo, Call of Duty is Call of Duty, Titanfall looks okay but it's another fps and you'd have to make an impressive game (Farcry 3: Blood Dragon for instance) to get me to buy another one of those, Killer Instinct reminded me of what I thought of it in the 90's: dog shit. Not to mention the Kinect games. I still don't own a Kinect.
By comparison, I thought Sony embracing indie's pretty cool, though admittedly some of the games they showed I already own on steam (like Don't Starve), still, they definitely are going in the right direction and I expect psn next generation to be what xbla was this generation in terms of titles. I mean, a remake of Abe's Odyssee? Sign me up. I will always support Oddworld. They showed games that cater to my tastes more as well, like Rain and Beyond Two Souls for ps3. 1886 looks like
, but Destiny has an appeal to me despite being a first person shooter in that it features a large world and an interesting class system. Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 gave me a nipple boner.. Not to mention Infamous: Second Son, which to my memory wasn't showed at the conference. Sony showed adventure games, puzzle games, jrpgs, first person shooters, third person sandbox games, side scroller platformers and more. Variety goes a long way with me. You can tell they're targeting a wider audience and different tastes than what Microsoft is shooting for.
I can understand why someone would find MS' e3 game offerings tempting, but they don't really do anything for me, and the ones that do (MGS5) aren't exclusive. The main outlier remains Crimson Dragon.
