Sony E3 Press Conference Impressions

Dealspwn: "This was a press conference that, admittedly after some box-ticking waffle, got down to continuing the message Sony had delivered back in February. This wasn't a press conference of antagonism, we weren't presented with a product and forced to #dealwithit, Sony couched the PS4 specific terms, as if to say "Hey, we're listening," before Andrew House almost started issuing battle cries towards the end."

Start was a little iffy but they blew it away after that!

So I agree.

Gazondaily3966d ago

Well, the price and consumer protection are what saved the show.

I actually think the games shown were somewhat lackluster and Microsoft had a better reveal in that respect (which is ironic considering how we were questioning whether it was a games console at all).

Cupid_Viper_33966d ago

The best announcement from the conference hands down.

brodychet3966d ago

Was fantastic.

Needless to say; everyone was blown away.

pompombrum3966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

The games shown were the best demonstrations of E3 plus their new game announcements like FF15 and KH3 were probably the best ones, it's just a shame they were all multiplatform games. Stuff like announcing exclusive betas for ESO seemed a little bit sad but they then stole the show at the very end. You usually finish on the highest note and the fact Sony chose the very end to announce everything they did, shows just how important it is for both them and the future of the industry.

creatchee3966d ago

Honestly, all PS4 had going for it is the price point and lack of DRM. It was multiplat after multiplat and the few exclusives got little to no gameplay time. I was disappointed. Also, PS Plus to play online? Really? I understand the value of PS Plus, but the fact is that if you want to play online, you have to pay 50 bucks.

Sony could have shown so much more but all they seemed concerned with was upstaging Microsoft of price point and DRM. I could care less about the other stuff - I wanted to see games.

I love the characters that run Sony. All of them seem down to earth and genuinely friendly people. When I saw Yoshida display all the twitter comments I knew that that they were going to announce something with regards to the DRM later in the show.

bootsielon3966d ago

What I loved:

1. Price point
2. No DRM bullsh1t
3. FFXV and Kingdom Hearts

What I missed:

1. Where was Kaz?
2. Where are The Last Guardian and Agent?
3. There should have been more first party made PS4 new IPs
4. Where were Uncharted and God of War for PS4?

What I wish to see:

1. A bundle with a 1TB+ HDD
2. Exclusivity on KH3 and FFXV to maximize use of the 7GB of GDDR5 RAM available for games on PS4
3. More 1st party new IPs for PS4
4. More Uncharted and more God of War
5. Respawn's and Insomniac's new IP's on PS4

pixelsword3966d ago

NOW the PS3 is front-running for me as my next console choice.

Good Job Sony.

@Cupid_Viper_3

LOOOOL!

Akira proves for the second time in under 2 weeks he is a fantastic troll.

The Great Melon3966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

@bootsielon

I agree with much of what you listed. I always like seeing Kaz, but I guess they are trying to push some of the younger blood up in front now that he is at the top of the company.

Although The Last Guardian was absent, I bet they will announce something at the Tokyo Game Show since that is a Japanese game. As for Uncharted and God of War I think that they should let them rest for a few years. Kratos can only slaughter so many things and Naughty Dog should take a stab at making another industry stopping game. Both Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog are amazing developers that surely have many other ideas in their heads that they are itching to work on.

webeblazing3966d ago

same o same o. not really impressed gonna get a yr or 2 later. they showed to many multiplats but was expected. ill stick with my pc right now. i dont even have a powerful rig and im still not seeing these amazing gfx everyone is talking about.

Agree, their policies and the Multi-plat reveals at the end were the strong points. The start had too much chatter. They are in a better position than M$ after those conferences though.

LackTrue4K3966d ago

yep....the ending
share your games freely/no DRM

AngelicIceDiamond3966d ago

For the first year you have to choose between the games (which MS brought) and having to choose between MS new Ip's and well Sony's long stand on used games and a better price point.

In the long run PS4 sounds better. Despite MS having a better line up of games for the first cycle.

ZodTheRipper3966d ago

You didn't even hear about Santa Monica's, Naughty Dog's or Media Molecule's PS4 game yet ;)
They all have something in the works for PS4.

zeddy3966d ago

anyone pissed that ff13 verses is now ff15 and most probably no longer an exclusive?!

Nitrowolf23966d ago

I'm okay with the name change. FF13 is tainted now, a name change will help.

It's prob multiplat though, but oh well for me cause I've been waiting for thsi f'n game forever.

ZodTheRipper3966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

At least we'll finally get to play them.

Rainstorm813966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

I thought they said FF16 was PS3 PS4 exclusive after the Kingdom Hearts 3 unveil

EDIT to the disagreers

ZodTheRipper3966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

FF16? Didn't you learn how to read romanian numbers? FF14 is PS exclusive, FF15 seems multiplat right now.

Rainstorm813966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

Sometimes the Hand Slips on touch devices.....Hence a TYPO

OT: when did they show or mention FF14 during the presser? I mustve missed that i thought VS13 was renamed FF15

Dude, im grateful just because it finally will be released, forget about exclusivity.

Godmars2903966d ago

Given Square's current condition, only care that its a good RPG.

Fantastic

no blocking used games, no RESTRICTIONS at all for NO REASON might I add

and only $400

chestnut11223966d ago

Sorry X BOX One, Ur Doomed. Sony listened to their fans and customers. PS4 will win these for sure. As for those who will buy the X1, Good luck.

DEATHxTHExKIDx3966d ago (Edited 3966d ago )

-$399.
-Supports used games.
-Not always online.
-Kingdom Hearts III in development.
-Final Fantasy XV
-No Restrictions

Thats all they needed im Sold. PS4 day one

Edward753966d ago

What about needing ps+ to play online games?

DEATHxTHExKIDx3966d ago

Im fine with that. Ive been paying for XBL gold for 5 years now. If I have to do it for Sony too im ok with that.

Catoplepas3966d ago

If Plus wasn't such a fantastic deal, I'd probably be slightly more pissed than I am.

badz1493966d ago

isn't enough a compensation for that? free games for PS4, PS3 and Vita every month? not enough too? on PS4, your PS+ membership is already paying for itself DAY 1 and will continue to give you A LOT MORE a year than any other gaming service ON EARTH will ever be and you still think it's bad somehow?

it's now OFFICIAL that PSN will be better than XBL BUT I'll not be surprised if people will still be nitpicking and look for things to troll it!

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6024h ago(Edited 4h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde2h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
