People are claiming Sony's E3 was the best in History. Okay. So they start off showing the The Last of Us, Beyond and a few more games that will close with this console generation. Then they show vita and all that, until finally they show the PS4. I like the console, looks great. So then they start talking about Movie/Music unlimited... Okaay.. They show the 4 PS4 exclusives that were already announced at their conference back in January and show new gameplay, cool. Then boom, Tetsuya Nomura pops in. This.. THIS RIGHT HERE was when Sony could've won E3. They show Final Fantasy 15 and right after that, they show Kingdom Hearts 3. Do you know how many people have been waiting for those 2 games? THOSE TWO GAMES ARE CONSOLE SELLERS. But guess what? They're multiplatform.. okaay moving on, we see a new ip which looks very interesting. The Order looks very good except for the fact that.. no gameplay was shown. After that, all I saw was INDIE GAMES, MULTIPLATFORMS AND EXLUSIVE DLC AND CRAP. WHERE WERE THE EXCLUSIVES GAMES? Sure we can share used games and play offline and 400$ is a great price for the PS4 but I saw no exclusive game that made my jaw drop like MS did! After today I honestly believe that MS did in fact murder Sony. MS was like bam exclusive, bam exclusive, bam exclusive, a multiplatform, bam more exclusives! Why are people saying Sony won E3 and Next gen because of a price tag and because it supports used games? Where were the freaking games Sony? And why did they let two games that could potentially sell PS4's like never before be multiplatform? BOTH OF THEM?
So let me summarize Sony's conference:
They show the console
They show a new ip with 0 gameplay
PS4 400$ with used games support and not always online
To play online you'll have to be PS+
Show gameplay of 4 PS4 tittles we already saw back in Jan.
Talk about Music unlimited and video unlimited.
Mutiplats multiplats and moreeeeeee multiplats.
And Microsoft's conference:
A few multiplats
Exclusives exclusives exclusives exclusives exclusives exclusives AND MORE EXCLUSIVE GAMES FOR THE XBOX ONE.
500$ console.
And people are still defending Sony? They showed barely no new PS4 exclusive games. That's a console's main seller, the exclusive games. Why do most people think PS3 won this gen? Because Sony provided a whole lot of PS3 exclusive awesome games. And I can't wait to get my hands on The Last of Us but I'm not so excited for the PS4 anymore and if I don't see something that can change my mind from here to November.. I'm sorry but I might end up buying an Xbox One until Sony gets their **** together. So you people need to stop being blindfolded by the price and the used game supports and open your eyes. Well this was my opinion and let me say that I've owned Sony consoles from Ps1 to PS2 to PSP and PS3 so I'm clearly not an Xbox troll. I'm just a hardcore gamer who enjoys playing great games. I have TLOU and Beyond waiting for me at Gamestop and I can't wait to get my hands on them. Wish I could say the same thing about the PS4.
The 9th Charnel mixes cult horror, sharp puzzles, rough AI, and stiff combat across a short campaign.
Transport Fever gives you ultimate control to construct and manage networks. A beast of a simulator, but what's new in the latest iteration?
With the ninth Resident Evil game, Capcom combines horror and action. Find out how these two tones blend together in our Resident Evil Requiem review.
They didn't show any exclusive like they should have but they did say 20 exclusives 12 of which will be out in the first year. We will wait and see. As of now xbox is still showcasing a better lineup. It got glossed over because the used game issue being cleared up and the monster price announcement i suppose.
Sony blew a lot of their load when they first showed off the PS4, so I'll cut them just a bit of slack, especially considering that three of the big games shown (Drive Club, KZ:Shadows Fall, and Knack) are going to be launch titles, with inFamous 3 coming a few months later. Many of the big exclusives shown during MS's conference and Nintendo's Direct won't be available until 2014.
I dunno. Unfortunately, E3 this year was not about the games, and Microsoft is to blame for that. People wanted to hear about their consumer rights, because for a lot of people, it was impossible to be excited for games wondering if their game ownership would be restricted.
all the consumer focus was on drm and console price and appearance....any new game announcements would probably have been lost/diluted in the shuffle.
I like how since we've seen Killzone, Driveclub, Knack, Infamous, they suddenly don't count. I like how GT6, Last of Us, and Beyond Two Souls don't count.
The only good shown off for MS was the multiplats, That create your own game game, Forza 5, and that's it. Titanfall is already the most overrated shooter in gaming and is multiplatform. Ryse is already being picked apart by critics. Killer Instinct is a F2P trap. Halo is Holiday 2014.
I think you're being a bit generous with the exclusives for MS and a bit to stingy with giving credit to Sony. While I agree that MS' conference was good for those interested in the Xbone, it simply cannot compare with Sony's conference.
Lastly, MS dodged the only thing that anyone attending that conference cared about, while Sony tackled it head on.
There's no comparison there. Support for all 3 of it's platforms versus DRM, No used, and 1 game for the 360...
I do share the desire for wanting to see more games. But to repeat the annual lecture: E3 is ultimately for investors, not gamers. It's investors who (correctly or not) think people want these "all-in-one" experiences from their console. I can hardly lay blame at sony's feet for giving them what they want.
I think it says a lot that this E3 made me feel more relieved than excited. I'm not gonna reserve PS4, but they did manage to make me second-guess building a PC this summer. Depending on early titles, one of those will wait until next year. Xbox One needs to do some serious, highly unlikely backtracking on DRM policies to get my attention again.
Also, I'm ASTOUNDED at the backlash for Kingdom Hearts going multiplat. I feel like I'm back in 2006. Square obviously gave up on exclusivity this gen, and they've been moaning about multi-million-selling games not selling enough. The only reason the handheld KH games have been exclusive is, well, because they're on handhelds. I don't see what the surprise is. I guess I was expecting groans and sighs, not screams.
