MS's conference was a C+ and at best that's a C+

I thought Microsofts show was alright, nothing amazing shown but the pace was fast. Much more entertaining than Ubisoft/Bethesda/EA, it lacked huge announcements but I was never overly bored atleast

The first five minutes of Sony's conference was better than all of MS's.

how long was sony's conference, seemed rather short?

well they had a couple of surprises like days gone and hideo kojimas game teaser but really not that much else we didn't know about. same with ms event. i didn't feel any more exitement over psvr, it still felt really flat. games like horizon still look amazing but i want to see more on the screen and see what the ps4 is capable of, you only get to see one of two enemies at once. detroit looks like the typical david cage clunky mechanics and still trying to bridge storytelling with action. the last guardian coming this october is very good news.

we do this every year, get excited and then the actual shows are just ok.

Sony has taken the show. Fanboys can be mad if they want, but no one has had a better show, or will have a better show this year. Just the way it is.

Okay, your opinion is officially irrelevant in this particular scenario.

Didn't see anything we didn't expect? Yeah if you were solely thinking about Pie in the sky stuff... A lot of this stuff was 'rumored' not leaked.....so yeah if you could imagine every MS rumor actually panning out in a single conference, Battletoads, Age of Empires, Halo 6, New Rare IP, new Twisted Pixel IP...basically if all of that stuff happened & then some at the MS presser, they'd be even. Didn't happen that way though.

This conference was groundbreaking & phenomenal....I've got respect for your opinion, but if you can't admit that much I'll lose a lot of that. This conference was easily the most well out together in the history of E3 in years. I'm a Sony fan, but if MS put something like this together I'd absolutely admit it's genius. You need to do as much if you want to save any kind of face.

As far as VR, this conference maybe dedicated one sole minute to VR, less than any other company...in that minute they announced exclusive Arkham content for VR.

Different strokes I understand, but there was literally something for every console gamer here, all brand new & fully surprised....if you can't admit how amazing this show was, you are too far gone....easily my favorite E3 conference possibly ever.

"Okay, your opinion is officially irrelevant in this particular scenario."

then why are you responding?

"Didn't see anything we didn't expect? Yeah if you were solely thinking about Pie in the sky stuff... A lot of this stuff was 'rumored' not leaked.....so yeah if you could imagine every MS rumor actually panning out in a single conference, Battletoads, Age of Empires, Halo 6, New Rare IP, new Twisted Pixel IP...basically if all of that stuff happened & then some at the MS presser, they'd be even.

you talking about ms conference does not really counter my argument about sony's, lol.

"This conference was groundbreaking & phenomenal....I've got respect for your opinion, but if you can't admit that much I'll lose a lot of that."

what was groundbreaking and phenominal when you can't even comment on it?

"This conference was easily the most well out together in the history of E3 in years. I'm a Sony fan, but if MS put something like this together I'd absolutely admit it's genius. You need to do as much if you want to save any kind of face."

still waiting?

"As far as VR, this conference maybe dedicated one sole minute to VR, less than any other company...in that minute they announced exclusive Arkham content for VR."

with no gameplay, lol, and you want to go on about groundbreaking?

"Different strokes I understand, but there was literally something for every console gamer here, all brand new & fully surprised....if you can't admit how amazing this show was, you are too far gone....easily my favorite E3 conference possibly ever."

you sure take a long winded approach to actually show me any details.

Only bad on N4G. Let's remember Sony shows games coming out 2-3 years later. And usually MS holds back for the Gamescom event.

Was just over an hour. Ran about 5 minutes long.

We knew Kokima's game would most likely be there, but didn't know anything about it. Spiderman was expected, but not from Insomniac(which means SP is still due for a new game soon), and didn't know it would look like a spidey game should. GOW was absolutely fantastic, and the live orchestra was certainly interesting.

What most impressed me was that they actually showed VR in a way that cool and made me want to try the games. Thought that would be hard to do when converted to a 2D format.

Was kind of shocked when I saw COD because I thought it was Eve:Valkyrie and was enjoying the game play. Never thought COD would look that fun.

Resident Evil VR shows a lot of potential and got a bunch of cheers in the theater..

I'd say the rest was pretty expected, but the game play for that zombie game looks pretty fun.

Practically no filler talking about useless stuff and only brief moments of some PR platitudes.

For me personally I gotta give it to Sony. That show was simply incredible from start to finish. VR Gameplay was beastly and hopefully MS is taking notes.

Wow. Moldy being salty is just shows to how well it has gone for Sony. Sony didnt even have time to show all their exclusives. I was wondering if I would get to see Gran Turismo...

For those who didnt watch:
MS: Here are all the games coming to PC!
Sony: Here are massive exclusives for PS4.

"Was just over an hour. Ran about 5 minutes long."

then i was right, it was rather short compared to previous conferences. probably better this way.

"We knew Kokima's game would most likely be there, but didn't know anything about it. Spiderman was expected, but not from Insomniac(which means SP is still due for a new game soon), and didn't know it would look like a spidey game should. GOW was absolutely fantastic, and the live orchestra was certainly interesting."

i knew they would get something up quick from kojima, sony relishes in those moments that cater to their hardcore audience and they dont want to wait years after they signed him to show something. spiderman looks cool, strange insomniac seems to be doing so much that i hope they are not stretching themselves thin. gow we all knew was coming. i said before sony (and others) dont like sitting on valuable ip's and they have used gow to show off hardware in the past. it looks awesome graphically but im not a big fan of the franchise. yes the orchetra was cool and shawn was better than previous years.

"What most impressed me was that they actually showed VR in a way that cool and made me want to try the games. Thought that would be hard to do when converted to a 2D format."

not really to me. i still want to try it but the games seem shallow much like wii games, kinect games and playstation move games. they all share the apprehensiveness of going all out for a preipheral device. in a few years we will see the full impact of vr but right now it's amature hour.

"Was kind of shocked when I saw COD because I thought it was Eve:Valkyrie and was enjoying the game play. Never thought COD would look that fun."

lol, me too. i thought it was vr eve being played but again the game itself looks like been there done that and that engine is really showing its age now.

"Resident Evil VR shows a lot of potential and got a bunch of cheers in the theater.."

yup, could be very creepy especially with headphones on.

"I'd say the rest was pretty expected, but the game play for that zombie game looks pretty fun."

so many zombie games haha. this one didn't look anything special. dead rising 4 looks like a lot more fun.

"Practically no filler talking about useless stuff and only brief moments of some PR platitudes."

agreed, maybe an hour is the better format.

you guys act like ps4's are only sold to those who scream at their shows and come to the forums to downplay all the compeition.

"For those who didnt watch:
MS: Here are all the games coming to PC!
Sony: Here are massive exclusives for PS4."

great, you bought a ps4 only for exclusives. or is this your way of saying i wasn't really interested in an xbox one and now that their games are also coming to the pc i will continue to just play on my ps4 and still not enjoy games like forza horizon 3 but use the pc as a conversation piece now?

Sony's conference was Amazing, Microsof't's was good not amazing.

Sony got me the most excited for the future.
