Xbox: Better conference overall. Games that appeal to me. Better & more Indy's. New controller. TOMB RAIDER.

Question to OP: Why early access written in poll? It's not a big thing compared to other stuff they showed...

 

However, I found BOTH to be worse than last years'.  Also, MS might not ever win in any poll on VGC.


I have to hand it to VGC this year, Sony destroyed Microsoft and I voted for Microsoft last year. Sony proved their first party is heads and tails better than Microsoft creating games Microsoft could not fathom creating. Also, Tomb Raider wouldnt be where its standing without Uncharted and Uncharted is continuing to push the envelope.

Oh well.

I really thought that Sony couldn't beat Microsoft, after what they presented at their E3 conference.
Backwards compatibility, great games, even new Ford! I thought that this conference will be game changer, that MS will be back in game and will reduce gap between them and PlayStation.

But PlayStation crushed it, destroyed it, humiliated it. Just TLG and FF VII Remake and nothing more existed at their briefing.

But tbh both had best conferences in gaming history. So good to be gamer this days :D



STAGE you should really play TR Anniversary. It came out right before Uncharted and would really open your eyes as to how much TR actually owes or "stole" from Uncharted. Saying it wouldn't be where it is without Uncharted is really just flat out wrong, no other way to slice it really.

Anyway as I don't care about Shenmue 3 or a FF7 remake, Sony's conference was good but nothing spectacular for me. I'm bummed that they didn't announce any good new software/OS features for PS4. MS is showing a new UI with Cortana, which should be just about the most amazing console OS element ever, plus BC, plus early access. To me that's almost as good as most of the games shown, but then they also had great Gears 4 stuff, and Halo 5. Also Cuphead. Among others. Uncharted and Horizon looked great for Sony.



Like many people have said, I thought sony could not beat MS, then plesently suprised.

Just makes me think, what if nintendo pulls the same and blows everybody away. I guess just an hour till we know.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

This site is filled with Sony fans. Show me any poll that is essentially Xbox vs Sony in which MS wins. These Xbox vs Sony polls are ridiculous on this site and have no meaning because of the Sony bias.

well they could annonce a full mobile support and leaving the game console industry ... they would create a more buzz then anything .... but not in a good way .

the blow can go bad or good at that point.

I am not talking about TR Anniversary. I am talking about the reboot, dude.  Uncharted mostly took platforming, puzzles and tropes from Tomb Raider, but its core mechanics came from Killswitch, RE4 and winback just like Gears of War. The reason Uncharted was created was because of Gears of War.

RE4 is mostly credited with influence on Uncharted and Gears than any other game as far as cinematics and core gameplay are concerned. It was the third person shooter prototype before last gen. Killswitch also provided inspiration and in Uncharteds and Gears cover and blindfire. When you look at Tomb Raider today its essentially Uncharted with elements from other games.

Actually, this site is filled with nintendo fans who are the most neutral in these type of discussions. I'm sure you won't acknowledge it though.

According to sales numbers, 8th Gen in general is filled with Playstation fans.
