I feel because they knew this E3 was going to be smaller they tried to experiment with a different set up and it blew up in their face. If they tried to do this shit where they actually had a lot to show and the like there would be a much bigger backlash.

Sony could have shown The Last of Us 2 from a CRT TV hanging out the back of a truck in the parking lot and they still would have won E3.

Everyone hated it but I like the format (let me rest for a little while), and the games they showed... The disappointment was, there wasn't any surprises (also I wanted to see a ltl more of shenmue 1-2, and the new game)

I thought the show was great. I can understand why some people was disappointed. They were expecting a lot big reveals, but Sony chose to focus on the games that were already announced.

It's about the games!. They brought out the big exclusives and more.

Shawn Layden is just one weird dude. I noticed the lack of Shu Yoshida on that conference probably made the conference a lot of weirder. Gemini's are weird and like ever changing settings and environment.

Sony's conference didn't let me down,it didn't have that welcoming bang & flair they usually have but they showed off the most important thing they said they were going to focus on & that was showing off the four games they're currently working on which looked great including a couple of upcoming games as well.I'm quite sure at next E3 will be seeing some brand new next gen exclusives in Sony's arsenal.

fuck the format. its the games that matter. Who cares about the presentation. Is this how Xbox fans will convince themselves they won? That they presented it better? Is that it? Yeah Phil looked better on stage. What about the games?

Really don’t give a shit a bout format e3 is about games so why we changing the narrative ?

What they did show from the big four was amazing, but it felt more like the PlayStation Experience than E3. Don't know why they went that route but the quality of the games don't change because of it, so whatever.

It's actually funny how PlayStation and Microsoft's showings exemplified their differences. Microsoft showed a smattering of games that also look great, but the vast majority of which are also available elsewhere. PlayStation was more contained in showing off what they've developed internally. Neither conference blew me away, but they could've been better.

I enjoyed the show. TLoU and Tsushima were arguably the best demos of E3. Just because Sony likes a short, impactful show recently doesn't mean they don't have more in the cupboard.

They didn't show Days Gone and they hardly showed Dreams. They also have exclusives/console exclusives like Wild, The Forest, Death's Gambit, and a slew of big VR games on the way. So yes, they could've shown more, but basically everything they showed was important. I'll take that over excessive padding.

Awful execution. Very disappointed.

The games Sony showed were phenomenal. They are also on of the few to show some actual extended period of gameplay for the games. The way they worked around their trailers was just horrible, the guy with the flute looked like he was having a seizure, the panel was just pointless.

I do think we have been spoiled the last couple of years with sony's E3 conferences, and I think a lot of their big studios are in transition phase where they are not yet ready to show their games but already are decently ahead in development. I think they will have a lot of titles next year.

Still, the gameplay that they did show looked phenomenal

Didn't work but at least they keep trying something new lol

Did anyone else think the flute guy was having a seizure at several points during his performance?

It was alright, but I still don't understand why they changed venues just to show TLOU2....what was the point of that?

Sony had an awesome line up but Ubi’s presentation was the most enjoyable for me. Bethesda wasn’t too bad either. Loved the Skyrim diss.
I was really hoping to hear from Sony what this new mystery studio would be working on. Rumored Uncharted related. Cassie?

The reason lots of people hate on it is that PS fans are mad the MS conference was bigger, longer and flashier.

MS fans are mad that Sony showed absolutely stunning gameplay from 4 huge ps-exclusive games..

Salt from both sides.

Unfortunately It was a major let down in every way. They had good games but they were games we have all seen before and have known about for years. Their big exclusives like Last of Us don’t even have release dates, all in all they had a poor showing this year.
