E3 2014 - Sony Conference

[Madrun Badrun]

wow batman went tall.  I like that. 

[Superstar]

You can transfer your 360 saves to PS4? Okay.

[Vertigo]

Batman would have been my GOTY  but 2015 

[Madrun Badrun]

batman;  won't use a gun but a tank is just dandy

[Bebpo]

Never played AC but this look fun enough.

[Superstar]

Why the hell would they spoil the Last of Us when a good chunk will be first time buyers? Lol what morons.

i never beat it but played a good chunk and didn't see a spoiler

Well they played a spoiler warning which led to me not watching their trailer even though I'm probably their perfect target for the game. Either way the done screwed up.

[Mupepe]

I'll probably end up buying remakes this year. Gta  and last of us lol

[Vertigo]

The one thing I love about Sony is they really push their exclusive DLC.

[tiesto]

For a second I thought it might be TLG but nope... another Uncharted. 

On the bright side, I can hold off on a PS4 purchase for another year.

[Baiano19]

lol last guardian

[Vertigo]

Lol at Sony ending with that 

[Madrun Badrun]

So basically 2014 has no games and 2015 will be great assuming things don't get delayed which is likely. 

Also I'm hyped for uncharted.  2 and 3 were so fucking good.

[cool breeze]

e3 kinda sucks

[Superstar]

They just seriously end with a 1 Second trailer?

[Hock]

I think I'm finally excited for all these sequels again. Assassins Creed and Batman looked REALLY good.

[Bebpo]

Well, I guess they had enough time since the Uncharted reboot to string together a (nice looking) model of Drake + one room.  Hard time believing the game is 2015 given that they just fired the entire staff and changed the direction of the game with the U2/TLoU directors.  Figured it'd be 2016.

But hey, 2015 is packed as hell now.  2014 ;_;


Just need TLG & Versus in 2015 as well

[Eel O'Brian]

I thought it was fine

[Bebpo]

Hmm, I wonder if the "darker" thing that the Last of Us/U2 guys wanted to bring to Uncharted is killing Drake off and ending the series with a big bang finale so they can move onto Last of Us as their milk IP and begin work on a new IP as well. 

I'd be done for a "final" Uncharted game if done right.  Like the characters and could go for an emotional send off.

[a slime appears]

I mean aside from it being long as hell it was a pretty good conference.

No surprises because I'll say it again, no one in this industry can keep their trap shut, but there was a HUGE amount of genuinely great games on show and that's most important.

[Vertigo]

No way they kill Drake the fans would rip them apart.

Beside I play Uncharted for dumb 80's movie thrills not doom and gloom.

I hope that's not the avenue they'll be going down.

[Eel O'Brian]

they're def gonna kill sully, though

[Mr. Gundam]

Conference was fine until they blew 30 minutes on pointless crap.

[Madrun Badrun]

Ya sully is dead.  You can kill off old Jones but not Indy himself. 

[Bebpo]

So E3 2016 is probably God of War 4 teaser, U4 full trailer.  Man, even if GoW is the same old shit over and over, I can't wait to see what SSM can do visually on better hardware. 

[Bebpo]

Wouldn't this be repetitive since they just killed him off in the last game?

..and then brought him back.

[a slime appears]

Did you get at least anything for the deep shame in attending the event?

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm kidding but seriously what did you get.

[close]

[Madrun Badrun]

This conference was basically if you buy next gen, still might as well go PS over xbone. 

[Mr. Gundam]

There's a download code on my lanyard. No clue what it's for.

[TVC15]

What did the movie theater smell like by the end?

[benjipwns]

CXK
Thats just Sony being nasty. I notice they like to make digs at Xbox ever since the PS3 was getting beat by the 360. Its not very classy considering Microsoft is always cool towards Sony. Sounds like the company, much like its fans has an complex.

I'm guessing you got a PS Now invite.

[Madrun Badrun]

The smell of a black man who really likes God of War.

[Himu]

As Oscar said in private, about 5% of the titles appeal to me. I"m fine with that. The ones that do are all coming to pc.

Observations:

1. very very few japanese game offerings. the Japanese industry decimation continues.
2. no man's sky game of the show.
3. between most of the "exclusives" very little reason to pick up a next gen system instead of just getting a gaming pc.
4. sony's conference > microsoft's. Microsoft's conference was gaming death in it embrace of gaming homogeny.
5. Looking at both conferences, there's really nothing for me on consoles. Time for me to pack up and move on. I'm still looking forward to FF15, but right now I'm not seeing any reason to invest in a ps4 to play it.

Today convinced me: my gaming destination the next generation will be Steam and Mobile/Handheld.

[Akala]

conference was kind of garbage.

liked no man's sky after it left a bad first impression...think I was actually most impressed by batman of all things lol.

bloated conference made MS's look better retroactively tbh. Think Ubi's was best of day.

[Eel O'Brian]

an complex

[Superstar]

Sony was fine but really this has been the most boring e3 I can remember. I'll probably declare Nintendo the winner after 1 smash character announcement because at this point it's all it would take.

[Mr. Gundam]

What did the movie theater smell like by the end?

A clean, air-conditioned theater. Amazing!

[Bebpo]

Sony was fine but really this has been the most boring e3 I can remember

The last few years have been exactly like this except even fewer games on display.

[Huff]

good thing the best of both conferences will be on PC.

might get a PS4 one day a couple years down the line

[Kevtones]

Eh.


Remakes? Meh.
The Order? Bleh.
Little Big Poopie? It felt like a poor man's DK Tropical whatever the fuck announcement.
Uncharted? Nope.
No Man's Sky? Maaayyyybe on PC.
Grim Fandango? Great game in 1998, glad people will get to try it again.
Bloodborne? Maybe worth a system but 2015 and it seems multiplatform.

Anything else?



Pretty sure Sony is using NeoGAF as a coy hype engine.

[mjemirzian]

Decent show, that boring guy in the middle killed the momentum though.

Will pick up GTA V (skipped the PS3/360 version), The Last of Us (ditto), Driveclub, and any good indie.

[a slime appears]

There were a couple of games there that would've sold me on a PS4 if I didn't already own one. Same for ONE.

[cool breeze]

I think it's on par with the other boring E3s (most of them).  last year had the console warz thing carrying it.  this year it was assumed that it'd be the first push for "next gen" but that didn't happen.  Nothing is ready.  Everything was a CG trailer or 'please be excited'.  even the Halo 5 beta coming in a few months had a CG trailer.

It's coming out on PC too I think

At least you got five bucks for your trouble!

[Mr. Gundam]

I also get free babysitting to go out with friends! Way better.

admittedly, you're probably not hard to sell things on, given you already have both. 

Gotta save my own job if none of you are willing to do so!

Also I got them for free

just wait til tgs

[Madrun Badrun]

So who's excited for the Nintendo press conference? 

[a slime appears]

I'm afraid a big part of it will be focused on that Mecha Reggie joke that no one thinks is cute or funny.

[Himu]

So who's excited for the Nintendo press conference?

I am. As a 3ds owner I'm interested in what they've got.

[headwalk]

as a game conference, it was the annual wade through mediocre sludge.

as a sony conference, it was a confession to every accusation that their games are better seen than played.

the order 1886 is their autonomous babel.

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm excited for them not to drop the price so I don't have to even consider getting a wiiu. 

[Rahxephon91]

Nothing Sony showed I really cared about.

I don't give a fuck about Dark Souls, but maybe their new game will play a bit differently.

Didn't really care for GTA5 in the end so unless there's single player DLC I won't care. I'll probably get The Last of Us because I would like to play a better version of it.

I'm kind of failing to remember what else they showed. Don't care about indie games and don't even which ones there were. The entire conference was a blur honestly.

But that's gaming in general. Plenty of games I'll like enough, but nothing that excites me. I like shooting things so I'll enjoy Battlefield and CoD, but those aren't games that I'm going to hold up as my favorites. They just don't make the kind of games I like that much anymore. There's FF15(which dosen't exist) and MGS5, but thats it.

In the end I got a PS4 for multi-platform titles like Battlefield, Batman, and so on. I want to play them of course, but they don't excite me. I dislike PC gaming and it would cost me more or the same to get a PC that could play those games anyway. So I have the PS4 for the convenience of use.

Gaming is'nt dead, because there's plenty of good games coming. Just nothing exciting. It has nothing to do with innovation as I don't even know what that means and my favorite games weren't innovative anyway. Just nothing that personally really excites me. But since consoles are the only platforms providing games I want I'm happy to have one.

[tiesto]

I'm game if they show X and a non-gimmicky Zelda.

But since consoles are the only platforms providing games I want I'm happy to have one.

My top three games are Shenmue 1/2, Jet Set Radio, and Resident Evil 4. So I have a big thing for games that invent the wheel (Resident Evil 4), or are unique experiences (JSR, Shenmue). I can't help it. I like a couple of the games on display, but they're all on pc.

[Rahxephon91]

So who's excited for the Nintendo press conference?

I'm not going to wake up for it, but I just want to see X. I already traded in my 2DS, so I'm just waiting for that form them. Would be good if there was some good X footage and a discount on the system.

[Tasty]

well, don't need a next gen console this year, at least.

So you're saying Wii U is all you need?

[Tasty]

I already traded in my 2DS
