If I were to grade it Sony. I'd give them a C+. They only announce like one game aimed at gamers, Beyond. Which looked fantastic(ELLEN PAGE!!) Also The Last of Us and God of War showings were excellent. But I honestly expected more. Only two characters announce for PSAS and Wonderbook=LAME.

Nitrowolf24346d ago (Edited 4346d ago )

The worst thing about their Showing was Wonder Book. Spent waaaaaaaay to long on that presentation. Bored me with it after all that excitement from the videos before.

I was expecting more to, but I would rate it a B
Really loved Ubisoft showing though, which surprised me considering last year's

Nintendo is next so lets see if they can wow us more.

papashango4346d ago

the chat sections in the few streams I was in were bored to tears with wonderbook. God of War was just that and Last of Us looks to be a solid new IP. a solid B- for Sony

The game that shot up to #1 on my radar is Watch Dogs. Let's see how Ubisoft rides this positive momentum.

Personally, I think people were expecting WAYYYY too much. I've just finished a conversation with some other people that said they were disappointed at the lack of new stuff. Well i'm sorry, they NEEDED to show off their currently announced games, that's exactly what they did, and they did it beautifully.

Beyond looks outstanding, the new Assassin's Creed ocean level was also very impressive. And the finale with God of War and The Last of Us were equally incredible. I am very satisfied with their show because I was not expecting things like Versus 13, Last Guardian (maybe a little tiny bit), a new console etc.. I went in expecting game play for announced games, and they did great with that.

The ONLY thing I think they should have talked about more was Vita. I don't have one, but I definitely understand why people are upset about the lack of stuff for it.

A solid "B".

Nimblest-Assassin4346d ago (Edited 4346d ago )

Agree.. a B

They had great momentum... but they killed all of it with wonderbook

Thankfully GOWA and TLOU(a definite candidate for best of show)brought it back on track

Shame they didn't do a vita price drop... its a great handheld that needs sales

But I totally agree... without wonderbook, or if they handled it better Sony would have had a great conference

Lets see what the big N has stored for tomorrow

I give them either a C+ or B-. MS got a F. Hopefully Nintendo delivers tomorrow.

double post

archemides5184346d ago

seriously what are the other 20 sony studios working on??? ps4 is next year for sure

TruthSeeker4346d ago

They got tons of stuff in the works for sure. Remember Guerrilla Games is working on the next Killzone plus a new IP, Infamous 3(surprised that wasn't there) The last Guardian, Agent. And they didnt even talk about LittleBigPlanet Kart Racing, Dust 514, or Sly Cooper.

Nitrowolf24346d ago

@TruthSeeker
"LittleBigPlanet Kart Racing, Dust 514, or Sly Cooper."

Id give them a B-....Wonderbook ran long but other than that all the announcements were pretty good and as a PS+ member i cant wait til tomorrow

Lior4346d ago

It was ok I thought they would make a lot more announcements on new games but at least we know the PS4 and new xbox will be coming next year why else would they be holding back showing games that will be coming later than march 2013

Chuk54346d ago (Edited 4346d ago )

I'd give them a B.

Maybe they should've saved all the reveals they have been so generous with this year. It would have bolstered their show.
Much like MS' show, I was really only looking forward to one title, and Last of US was brilliant.

If Nintendo can't leap these conferences, the wiiu will seem even more disappointing.

archemides5184346d ago

they can't save the reveals cuz they'd all get leaked anyway. the entire conference was leaked except for the wonderbook

lugia 40004346d ago

Id give them a C. I bought a PSV and I expected alot more.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast86d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs83d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast83d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs82d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast82d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer86d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6986d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs83d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6983d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger131d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2386d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid130d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast130d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
