What grade would you give Sony's E3 conference?

[sparkblade14]

A week ago, Sony had their presentation. Now that E3 is over, what did you think of their press briefing? Good, bad, or mediocre?


I'd give it a B-. There were some nice titles but I felt like they dragged out their TV portion too much. They kinda lost momentum on that part. Exclusives like The Order and Bloodborne looked good though. Little Big Planet 3 was a nice surprise.

I give it a A+++ because of Bloodborne. But it was the one game that really made me hype, so I would say B- is fair. It was solid overall.

Mediocre, it didn't have that "wow" factor and everything was predictable.

The list of games were quite good though.

 

[Derri]

I'd give it an A-

Was great but lost momentum in place discussing Sony TV stuff

 

[RobDaCool]

I'd give it a B+ was good. Heck, I enjoyed all three of the console manufacturers conferences. I have a Wii U, well its my kids, and I am still up in the ait about an XboneOne

 

[mosul210]

I give it a B- , the games were good to include some impressive indies like No Man's Sky but as mentioned no real surprises.

 

[Annabell]

It gets a C. At best.

Nintendo ran away with it this year. Last year it was all in general a little...meh. Nintendo really shone this year, especially thanks to those little claymation things they had. Sony and Microsoft just...felt too corporate.

Its was okay, i didn't really expect all that much since we are still not a year into the new console cycle. I do expect much better next year. I am very excited for a new uncharted, little big planet 3, & ratchet and clank.

I give them a solid A-. Like others have said, I thought it started out strong but when down a little when they started talking about the TV stuff and that cartoon or comic or something. Thankfully, that didn't last as long as some made it out to be and quickly went back to the games. Their last segment blew me away with Bloodborne and No Man's Sky. Definitely ended with a bang in my opinion with that glimpse of Uncharted 4.

I really don't like the trend of Sony/Microsoft competing for exclusivity in features.
Only the consumer loses.

I agree. Should we feel special that we get DLC before the competition? I don't. It's stupid and there should be parity as far as extra content goes. Exclusive games are good for consumer loyalty, but no one really cares that we get DLC faster or longer than the Xbox One guys.

 

[Ciel]

C.

It was the weaker of the "big three."

Nintendo and Ubi were the only A's.

 

[Haze]

Probably a B.

A lot of announcements you knew were coming (GTA V on PS4, Uncharted 4) but they always seem to put on a good show

 

[daimashin]

Yeah, I agree. I doubt that anyone's willing to buy a console just because of some exclusive contents that are coming to one console. Especially when the same game is coming out on the other as well. In my opinion, it's pointless to secure exclusive contents other than to punish gamers that do not buy their console.

I actually thought the GTA V thing was just a bunch of BS. I didn't think it was gonna happen. RockStar doesn't port their games to another gen (like San Andreas).

Yeah it's pretty stupid. I guess the publishers get enough money to justify securing exclusive content to one platform, but I still see it as unfair. Gamers lose out in the end. People buy a specific console for exclusive games, but not content.
