So disappointed gravity rush 2 didn't appear in sony's conference..like dafuq sony?
It technically appeared in the sizzle reel at the end. In all seriousness, it's more of a niche title and won't likely be of monstrous success, and this conference was mostly reserved for announcements of major new games. Better they save time at E3 and show the game someplace else, as it'll do just fine not being at the show. News should come soon enough.
If I were to rank all of the conferences (not counting the PC one, as I did not watch), it'd be:
1. Sony
2. Microsoft
3. Bethesda
4. Ubisoft
5. EA
We've still got Nintendo left, and while EA wasn't a true press conference,it was still set up like one. After Microsoft's this morning, I wasn't sure how Sony would be able to top it. The pacing was excellent in both conferences, and Sony simply topped Microsoft with bigger, more frequent announcements. To Microsoft's credit, their games looked great and they made some awesome announcements regarding Xbox Live. They handled talking about Scorpio perfectly, although I don't know if it was necessary to announce it at the same conference as the Xbox One S. The only thing I truly wish Sony included in their conference was an announcement or two about some improvement to PSN (like username changes), but it wouldn't be strange for us to get that somewhere else, or even in a blog post.
Everything Sony showed looked fantastic, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the changes to God of War. A more human Kratos has been needed for such a long time, and the new gameplay looks great. I'm really happy that the game still carries with it the same atmosphere as the previous games in the series. Day's Gone looks interesting, and I think they've done enough to differentiate it from The Last of Us. The new Spider-Man game looks so awesome, and they could not have picked a better team to tackle it. Horizon looks just as great as expected. As someone who has never been a fan of Resident Evil, the new one definitely has me interested. It is nice to see The Last Guardian FINALLY has a release date. The way they brought Kojima out was super cool, and while I don't think they needed to announce a game so early, it was such a huge middle finger to Konami. The Crash announcement is a big deal, as the games are being fully remastered from the ground up, seemingly like Ratchet and Clank just was. I think this remaster, in a similar vein to what I think is being done with Ratchet and Clank, is being used to gauge interest in a potential new title for the series. The live orchestra was awesome, and was a much cooler way to open the conference than another sizzle reel.
Bethesda had some really cool announcements, and I'm actually interested in visiting Skyrim again for those mods. I wish we could have gotten to see a new Wolfenstein, but since we only got a teaser for it, I think we'll have to wait until next E3.
Both Ubisoft and EA's conferences were downright awful. Ubisoft had a lot of cool games to show off, but once the VR stuff hit, they spent way too long talking about each title. South Park looks fantastic, but most things shown after it could have been given so much less time on stage. Their "one last thing" moment felt exceptionally underwhelming, and again, was shown a little too much. EA's conference was worst though, as EA didn't have too much to talk about, and was really disappointing overall. I didn't expect much, and yet somehow got even less.
Overall, it was a solid two days of conferences, and I cannot wait to see Zelda tomorrow. Sony's conference was absolutely legendary, and Microsoft really knocked it out of the park as well. Console owners have so much to be excited about.
