Sony had an uphill battle today. With Microsoft clearly emerging as favourites this year thanks to a games-focused line-up of stellar properties and backwards compatibility, Sony needed to pull out a big gun in order to take on the Xbox One, which was sitting pretty right about then. But Sony didn’t just pull out any big gun. It drew several widowmakers from an impressive arsenal of titles, that had the LA sports center hooked, bewildered and excited.
Shenmue 3. A confirmed remake of Final Fantasy VII. A dreamy indie game that looked mesmerising and surreal. No Man’s Sky paving the way for a massive universe. Sony had plenty of aces up its sleeve, but the most important fact to take away ehre, is that not a single one of the Sony announcements was dull.
Every single one excited, from a new trailer for Destiny through to Disney Infinity introducing Boba Fett and Street Fighter V growing its roster. It was an event that clearly resonate well with fans. Kicking off with The Last Guardian, the entire zone went bananas, before collectively aawwwing at the screen. Sony may have easily won E3 this year with that press conference. A press conference that’ll go down in history as a legend for anyone who attended it.

sorry but sony lost as the games they annouced looked generic, uncharted 4 looks good but the last guardian looks rubbish and wont be a system seller. sony should of annouced gran turismo 7, new socom game etc but all they have is timed or exclusive dlc on third party games, sony should of annouced a resistance or killzone trilogy with all dlc and multiplayer and people would of been excited

ok forza and gow are as generic as they come driving and cover shooter also xbox fans laughed ever year they got the dlc first but now they dont there on the defensive. Last Guardian is also being made by one of the best studios out there atm ICO and SotC are 2 of the best games around just because its not CoD or Gears xbots cry its shite.
Microsoft may have the better line up in 2015 but Sony has 2016 covered from what i saw you also left out Shemue anither beloved game albeit on Kickstarter its a fanboy dream same with Final Fantasy 7.
Also backwards compatiblity died with the ps2 if i want to play my 360 games i’ll do so on my 360 its not a system seller also its a select catalogue so that one game you REALLY REALLY wanna play probably wont work just like backwards compatability was with the 360 and thw PS3 it was forgotten about.
Not a fanboy btw i play on PC both had good and bad also someone else said Sony had no VR what the fuck is Morpheus then dumbass. Also your Hololens is the same demo they used last year and it was running on a kickass pc back then and probably was this time aswell.

milk the franchise much halo gears forza its there bread and butter nothing more forza horizon 3 will probs be announced at gamescom lol.
i agree sony have very little to show in 2015 and last guardian looks like ps4 alpha footage a long way to go for that game i think. Street Fighter 5 early 2016 as far as i know. FF7 probs holiday 2016 Uncharted 4 again early 2016.
I’d personally would hope these games especially U4 and SF5 will be done and new IP’s will be announced. My personal thought is NEW ip’s should be revealed at e3 not stuff announced the year before unless it is a teaser then by all means have it there.
Sony promised 300 games since launch mostly indies Microsoft have just announced 100 games in 2015 again that will be mostly indies which xbots hated on when it was the Indiestation, but fanboys will always find something instead of seeing the potential from both companies but man has Tomb Raider pissed me off 😉

Worth mentioning that Horizon Zero Dawn was effin brilliant, also. And it’s been in development for 4 1/2 years (according to GG), so it should be close to launch.
