Poll of the Day > Sony should drop out of the console business after this

(+) Yeah! (+)

Worst E3 they had since 2006. And not even amusing for their fails.

The beginning sucked balls but once they showed Resident Evil2 they immidiately won and jsut showed awesome after awesome after that. minus death stranded cause ?????

I need Ghost and Death Stranding.

Already had Spider-Man preordered.

You should get out of the posting business

What were you looking for and why are you so disappointed about what was shown?

Obviously he was triggered by lesbians.

I don't think anyone would argue that Sony's start was extremely poor and weak, but once they got going they did fine. Sorry TC, but you sound like a 13 year old with your vast overreaction to the start of the conference.

Nope.

/v/ thinks the same way.

This does not help your argument

I actually kinda liked banjo dude.

the intermission was kinda whack, but I bet if you were at e3 live, that whole experience probably would've been the bees knees

The worstposter is right, you are the worst poster. Sony drop out? Lmao.. they are killing it. Timmy topic right here.

Not a great E3 showing, better drop out of the console business that they're currently winning...

Pretty much.. they don't even have to show up and do a E3 and they will still kill micro and Nin. Drop out lmao what a stupid statement.

Everybody should drop out of the console business then just make OSes and fight for HD space.

The only thing they are killing is their own reputation. A Capcom remake being the main deal of their presentation lmao

Absolutely terrible.

So you're saying you can't form your own opinion?

But he did. You're forcing him to like what was terrible.

You should get a job with Sony, ok?

Microsoft: *Shows a bunch of multiplats*

Sony: *Shows several great looking exclusives*

MS Fanboys: Sony should just quit.

I gave it a 6. There were a bunch of things I thought just made no sense.

-40 minutes instead of 1 1/2 hours like Microsoft - Strike 1
-12 minute intersession to switch venues - Strike 2
-Wasting countless money on building 2 venues, when they could have either rented out the big hall, or just built 1 - Strike 3
-Lack of Games - Strike 4(no FF7 Remake, Red Dead 2, Bloodborne 2, countless others)

While the games that were there were good(except for that Rick and Morty one which looks like shovelware), there wasn't enough of it. The only surprise to me was Control. RE2 wasn't a surprise to me. I heard rumors prior to E3 about it showing up.

They dropped the ball this year, hell they dropped the ball last year too now that I think about it. Guess we are waiting another 6 damn months til PSX.

If anything that is a benefit. 90 minutes for a fucking conference, just fucking die already!

I'll give you that, but these are essentially the same issue, so that would be one strike.

Square had a conference (so FF7 could have shown up there if they wanted it), We already know plenty about Red Dead 2, and From Software already talked about their next game in Microsoft's conference. Seriously, what the fuck were you expecting?

No new spectaculair reveals...
New trailers (cool ones tho) and that was it.

For now:
Bethesda --> MS --> Sony.

But nothing new (Nioh 2 is 'mehh'), which is bad.

Hopefully they don't mess up the cameras or controls. They've already ruined Claire's voice.

People got sucked in around RRoD and the free PS+, now they're too deep to go back. Also, people don't like admitting they were wrong and jumped in before testing the water.

I expected them to care. Plain and simple. They showed up, did the bare minimum work and left. This new decision to go on an adventure might have worked for the people at the conference, it did not work for the people at home.

Yes, they had RE2, and they surprised me at least with Control, but other than that there was nothing of substance.

Also, you made a claim that 90 minutes of video games being too much. Your watching a video game conference. If you can't sit through 90 minutes of video games, maybe you should go and do something else. I get that its the last conference of the evening and we've already been through 3 other conferences(yes, I watched the PC conference), but I myself was excited to see what Sony was bringing to the table. For 40 minutes of only 2 new things, its kind of screwed up and ass backwards.

Take that 40 minutes if they are going to have only 40 minutes and do rapid fire videos. Leave gameplay for afterwards. They hold a press junket afterwards for a reason. Social media can showcase gameplay on its own.

I would have liked to see more announcements of stuff we didn't already know about, but getting gameplay footage for games that have previously only been CG trailers was cool. Plus Control looks pretty neato, like the Psi-Ops sequel I always wanted. To say it was "terrible" is a ridiculous statement.

CEO looked like he was suffering from dementia, time to put him in the old folks home.

They should all drop out of the console business and spend resources on technology that isn't dependent on manufacturing and selling hardware.

OK, you can seriously fuck right off a cliff with that statement. I don't want to see trailer after trailer, I can get that on YouTube on my own time. I want to see gameplay, I want to see someone actually playing the game showcasing how the mechanics work and how my experience with the game is going to be. A trailer tells me you have nothing and just don't want people to forget about your worthless project, gameplay shows me you have something and gives me a reason to care.

I'll take 90 minutes of gameplay over 40 minutes of trailers any day of the week and beg for seconds.

I guess we can all say that once again M$ doesn't have enough of their own content to stay relevant in the market.

Except they just bought some good studios so they'll have a lot of games in the coming years. Ninja Theory is an amazing buy.

If anyone should get out of the console business it's Microsoft, and have them focus more on PC as a gaming platform.

But Valve already beat them in that department.

Except we didn't get 90 minutes of gameplay, or did you bother reading my other post before shit posting. Of the 1 hour long conference, we got 15 minutes of Last of us 2 gameplay, followed by another 15 minutes of a whole lot of nothing looking at a panel no one was interested in, and then another 10 minutes of Ghost of Tsushima. The video for Death Stranding was another 10 minutes and taught us nothing about the game because Kojima is being secretive as all hell, like always.

What remained was Nioh 2, Control, the fucking Rick and Morty game, RE2, and Spider-man. While RE2, Control and Spider-man looked good, the other 2 were either garbage, or barely shown. In the span of 60 minutes they could have pulled off 15-20 good trailers, one 15 minute gameplay for Last of Us 2, and a little banter on screen.

Also, those people saying Scorpion, Rhino and Vulture being shown is impressive, it really isn't. Its great to have them, I'm not going to lie about that. But those are the basic villains belonging to the sinister 6 group, a constant in the Spider-man universe. I'd be more interested bringing in characters like Morbius, as with that storyline you could bring in other characters like Kraven the hunter, Punisher, and Blade, not to mention its a story that hasn't been shown in some time.

the conference itself was painful, ok?

but the games themselves looked fantastic. i want to play nearly every game they show, ok?

THIS is what I am talking about. Where you said you would rather have 40 minutes of fucking boring ass show nothing trailers as opposed to actual fucking gameplay. My point is that I hate sitting through 90 minutes of conference, but if it is full of gameplay I will tolerate it a hell of a lot more then 40 minutes of Sony jacking itself off to completion for us all to watch. Sure, they showed 4 games, but at least they actually SHOWED us 4 games. You would rather they show us nothing.

Look at all the social medias. No one understood Sonys press conference. Its fine to say I want to see gameplay, and I agree with you there, I want to see more gameplay as well. Microsoft sure as hell could have shown more gameplay. But it was poorly paced, and for it to only have 40 minutes to showcase what it had to show, it could have been done a hell of a lot better.

And I never said I would rather they show us nothing, so stop putting words in my mouth. We had time in the showcase where all hype dropped and it was a bad call on their part. Two of them actually. One was at the start where they went back to the panel that no one cared about, when they could have showed 3-4 solid trailers, and the R&M game could have been replaced with actual gameplay from KH3(they could have had something ready by now).

They should have cut out the random musical interludes
