The Playstation Conference Left Me Torn

Unpopular opinion, though the Playstation conference was good, why is it that Poli Games host Joseph, feels slightly disappointing? It seems like previous Playstation E3 events have spoiled us as gamers. It seems Sony spoiled the chance at making the last pitch for the Playstation 4 Pro or the Xbox One X. Seems like this years E3 has been a bit on the safe side, and expected Sony to take that risk.

Glad you know yur opinion is unpopular. I totally loved Sony's e3. Shadow of colossus remake was mad, spider man? Amazing. Days gone looks very good its a must play, and god of war well we all know that's boss. Uncharted expansion and horizon DLC. Damn now that's an E3

Based on the reactions I've seen across the internet, this opinion is not all that unpopular. Even people who are often called Sony fanboys were disappointed in this weak show. All games from last year's E3. All games that aren't coming out until 2018. No major announcements. It was boring and pointless. E3 2017 has been pretty disappointing all around.

I have a feeling Sony saved some ammo for later in the year. I expect some big announcements at Gamescon this year to try to take some press from Xbox 1X

Of course you loved it chrisx.
Even my friend who is a die hard sony fan thought the presentation was just OK.

Armchair fanboyism at it's finest *slow clap*

[LightofDarkness]

Is there activist fanboyism?

I feel the same way. Sony showed great games and a lot of true exclusives. But they were missing that bomb announcement. SotC remake is huge and the Spider-Man and Days Gone was big but they didn't have any big new IP or game announcement. They had Horizon in 2015, GoW and Days Gone in 2016, but in 2017 they didn't give any big new game like that. It's what really disappointed me especially knowing TLOU2 wasn't there and sucker punch still hasn't shown anything for a while (I'm assuming a big new IP is in the works).

You can only release so many megaton bombs at E3 every year

[WickedLester]

Exactly. I KNEW going into this E3 that Sony's conference would be perceived as a disappointment, simply because there was no way Sony could continue on this pace of out doing themselves every year.

Having said that, it does not change the fact that in terms of actual content, Sony has it like nobody else. As a conference Sony disappointed. However as a platform, they continue to do great work.

I was somewhat disappointed. I still think it was the best conference of this E3 though (so far).

[Salooh]

True, sucker punch would of satisfied that but the show in terms of huge exclusives has been delivered , articles just looking for drama. Consider it as a mistake from sony but what they have given us as gamers is more than enough, compared to other conferences they are way ahead.

I think we're nearing the end of the PS4 cycle(or atleast over the halfway point). It only makes sense that the only games being shown will be in the next two years, which means we don't need 3-4 year off titles being shown as they would be for PS5.

So I think we'll get the same amount of games, but less trailers. Some trailers are saved for PSX and E3 2018 and that makes sense. Any later games are going to be launch titles for PS5 and that makes sense. I mean we know Sucker Punch's new IP and TLOU2 are coming, so they're saving for later conventions.

I think their show was short but safe though I was expecting more but there are more shows to come with new announcement of games to come especially at PS Experience.

It was good I thought, I was at the E3 theater experience. They had the Pre SHOW and the SHOW so it was sweet to just see lots and lots of games and support for the PS4 eco system. It all looked beautiful and good.
The only weird thing was the phone interactive stuff.:/ .

Other than that I thought they brought it casually and just clear that it's about games, as to show they had no worries of what anyone else was bringing at their conferences.

No chest pounding really except maybe the end saying here is a true EXCLUSIVE, before Spider-Man.

SKYRIM VR for PSVR had me like damn it! Going to have to buy SKYRIM yet again lol .

I think they have stuff planned to be spaced out through out the year for different shows.

I believe they are waiting to show Sucker Punches new IP at PSX2017.

Everyone including myself was cheering and clapping, even yelling and whistling. A lot of those in attendance very much enjoyed the show.

There was one guy though at the very very end that yelled out Xbox one rules and the entire theater went quite for a brief second then everyone started laughing at the guy. All in fun though ..
Ah fun times with great people can not beat it.

I wouldn't really call it an unpopular opinion. For all the awesome gameplay showings, I think many PS4 gamers did come away from it disappointed because there wasn't many surprise announcements like we had at e3 2015 and 2016. It was a good showing but it wasn't amazing.
