PSX 2015 has to have been one of the most boring conferences I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through.
Not since Microsoft revealed the Xbox One has a conference been so boring to me, and the only saving grace from that were all the memes afterward.
What the hell is wrong with you Sony? First you insult us with your answer to Microsoft's BC being a "you're gonna have to rebuy your games, but hey trophy support!!" nonsense, and now your very own conference is littered with boring indie games and subpar VR experiences?
Literally the best part of the conference for me was the 2 minute FFVII trailer.
I don't care about Call of Duty, no one should.
I don't care about Star Wars Battlefront getting some new planet either.
I REALLY don't care about the seemingly endless wave of trash/shovelware indie games Sony insists on shoving down our throats literally every conference, with this one being the absolute worst of them with the deluge of indie crap.
Why is Level 5 disinterested in continuing franchises like Dark Cloud or Rogue Galaxy and now focused on this Studio Ghibly stuff?
WHY ARE SONY SANTA MONICA MAKING A ZOMBIE TAXI VR GAME AND NOT A NEW FRICKIN' GOD OF WAR GAME?!
Why does VR look like crap?
I seriously just wanted to fall asleep during this conference, and people think I'm a Sony fanboy.
Look, Sony has grown complacent. They aren't even trying anymore. Shaun Layton comes out wearing a Crash Bandicoot t-shirt and we didn't get a Crash Bandicoot game.
Gio Corsi, even though he burned Tim Schafer, started the endless wave of indie title showcases and has the nerve to be wearing a "Third Party Relations" jersey. Yeah, indies are technically third party, but that's not what the majority of us were hoping for.
Sony isn't even trying. Period. They insult us with this rebuy scheme BC and phone in their own conference because they know that nothing MS can do will ever see them overtake the PS4 now. Sony's studios are working on garbage games (except Naughty Dog apparently), while Sony saves money pushing indies and letting third parties pick up the slack. It's insulting and it's not what Playstation was about.
Don't try telling me the conference was good, because it wasn't. It was a boring indiecade with one or two moderately decent trailers and a pathetic VR segment we really didn't need to see.
And for the love of god, NO MORE FRICKIN' DESTINY AT YOUR CONFERENCES!! We get it, you're partnered with Activision for this frickin' game. We don't need you shilling every month.
I'm so disappointed with you Sony. When it comes to conferences lately...

Blood Bowl 3 drops the Wood Elves faction, a 2024 roadmap and plans to come to PlayStation Plus this month.
Llamasoft and Atari finally brought psychedelic shooter Akka Arrh to PSVR 2 and here are all 21 trophies you need to collect.
Today Honkai: Star Rail developer HoYoverse released a new trailer focusing on the upcoming update 2.1, titled "Into the Yawning Chasm."
Missed the keynote, can't find it on Youtube unless its some tool's reaction video, so I can't say much.
Still, find it hard to believe that Sony did a bad a job as MS when they only talked about the X1's media functions.
"Why is Level 5 disinterested in continuing franchises like Dark Cloud or Rogue Galaxy and now focused on this Studio Ghibli stuff?"
Okay this is a matter of opinion because there was a vocal desire for Ni No Kuni 2 and a new Dark Cloud.
I think people are being hard on Sony. They just stretch themselves too thin between E3, Paris Games Week, Tokyo Game Show and PSX. To be honest, i don't see the relevance of PSX if it's just going to be like this every year.
Okay, watched the keynote. No real surprises, maybe even boring but, yet again, NOTHING close to the first X1 reveal. Certainly doesn't justify your reaction to it.
As for you issues with JRPGs - you're late to the party pal...
Sony has been dropping the ball this generation, and this year's PS Experience is no exception. Sony should just throw in the towel on conferences like this and save their material for E3, Tokyo Game Show, etc. etc.
This gen, Sony has been repeating a lot of the business tactics that MS did last gen, and MS got so much hate for them. More and more gamers are catching on what Sony has been up to this gen. Definitely selling out...
still running that "making you buy your old games again" narrative, huh? you people had your chance with BC, the PS3 at launch had near perfect PS1/PS2 BC, but the market chose "lower price" and "new games." people accuse Sony of being arrogant to charge $599 when they were giving you all those features at cost $200 below break even price? get over yourselves...
you probably aren't even aware how much MS is paying to get that feature to you? it keeps XB1 in the red hardware-wise. for example S-E charges $15 for a that PC port of the original PS1 FFVII, how much do you think they are charging MS to even ALLOW disc based support for their old games? the only thing MS can count on the BC is to stop current 360 user from switching to PS4. based on history, that's only a small portion of the market...
