I’m surprised YongYea gave it that high of a score, he’s usually a tough grader. Yoshida said a couple of years ago, that Sony learned from showing games too early.
MS also had an event like this last year. The only big first party games that they showed were Redfall, Forza and Starfield. Everything else was 3rd party. The “everything you see at this show, will be played in the next 12 months” was a lie.
Yoshida said a couple of years ago that they learned from their mistake of announcing games too early.
@shadowT Starfield better be Skyrim on steroids for it to have a chance. Most people are saying that TOTK makes BOTW look like a tech demo, and BOTW swept every major GOTY that year.
Sony definitely didn’t have a meek beginning. They released Demon Souls Remake, Returnal, Rift Apart, HFW, GT7, and Ragnarok. I know the last 3 were cross gen, but those played best on PS5.
@Pyrofire95 It was not just a “normal showcase”. A normal showcase is a state of play. This was their biggest show of the year.
A troll that just made this account.
@outsider1624 Insomniac has been working on SM2 since 2019. Those other studios that you mentioned didn’t start their projects until 2021.
@Goosejuice Even though it’s 3rd party, I think the Metal Gear Solid 3 leak hurt the conference a bit. It could of been a Holy bleep moment, if people didn’t know it was coming.
E3 2016 was better than 2015. But I agree, Sony hasn’t had a great conference since then.
@z2g Stop with your victim complex. Sony has early over 25 years of the benefit of the doubt. MS hasn’t proven squat for a decade. You sound like Republicans “If Donald Trump did this” LMAO
@Flawlessmic I agree with you this showcase was mid. I gave them a pass last year because I thought their studios didn’t have anything to show. But after a year later, this is what they come up with? I understand most of their 1st party studios are not ready to show anything and Sony is being every conservative these days about announcements. But still it was a big disappointment. Not showing Factions after Neil said they would talk about it in 2023 was criminal.
@FallenAngel1984 I see that you have 1984 so I definitely know that you were around then. You should know that the PS3 had a horrible start. Sony had to do a lot of work to sell PS3’s and to get their respectability back.
Bethesda games have sold well on PC though.
@Nykamari Lol You must of either been too young or not alive during 2006-2009. For Sony, it was bad! During that time, the PS3 looked like the Saturn. People thought they were going to be the next Sega. Their system was a pain to develop for, 3rd party devs abandoned them, and they were getting smacked around by the Wii and 360.
@Thundercat77 For MS. It’s the path of least resistance.
TBF. MS did delay Starfield by a year.
@WOREGED You’re lame. You really made a new account to say all of this. Lol
Another troll account.
