| CommonNinja said: Sure, Sony showed off more of the already anounced PS4 games: Infamous, Knack, Killzone SF, and DriveClub. (4) They anounced a new exclusive the Order 1886. (1) They showed off some Indy games with the main highlights being Octodad, and The Witness. (2) They showed off expected 3rd party games like batman, and Assasin's creed, with a few surprises like FFXV and KH3, and talked about some PS3 games.
Microsoft talked more about already anounced Xbox One exclusives: Forza 5, and Quantum Break. (2) They showed off new AAA exclusives like Dead Rising 3, Ryse Son of Rome, Killer Instinct, Titanfall, Halo, and Sunset Overdrive. (6) They showed off some smaller exclusives like Crimson Dragon, Max CoB, and Below, as well as anouncing Minecraft for X1 (thought to be exclusive at the time). (3) They showed off strong 3rd party support with BF4 timed exclusive, MGS5 (unexpected), and The Witcher 3. (Later on after breifing, EA showed PvZ: GW as X1 exclusive, and we saw Kinect Sports Rivals, powerstar golf, and Lococycle on the show floor.)
It is not so much that Sony had a bad conference or anything, its just that they had already anounced most of thier PS4 games at the PS4 reveal, and so they only had 1 new PS4 game to anounce. Microsoft only showed 2 games at the reveal, so we go to see 6 new exclusive games at thier E3, as well as a console exclusive PvZ game at EA's press briefing. |
Thanks.
I think it is clear that MS showed off more games for Xbox one than Sony did for PS4. But I'm going to argue the point anyway if that's ok.
1. You didn't list the plethora of indie games that Sony revealed. It is very safe to say that the PS4 is beating the X1 i.t.o indies at the moment. And while some 'gamers' scoff at indie games, the fact is that some indie games are better than fully fledged physical releases. Still, they aren't as important as the AAA stuff.
2. This is an important point. e3 2013 was before the PS4/X1 launch. So one has to look at a company's presentation as a whole. Sony showed tremendous support for PS3 even at that late point. This WILL translate to the PS4's when it's that late in its lifecycle. So "killing Sony" really should've been "X1 killing PS4".
3. Now, less than half a year after e3 2013, how many of those X1 games materialized? Has the "killing" as you labeled it translated into anything substantial in the subsequent years between e3s? I doubt it very much. So what one really should do, is take e3 2013 as a special case since it was before the launch of the consoles. e3 2014 is way more important. The consoles are in our hands and the post-launch drought will be forgotten soon.
But seriously, you think "MS killed Sony" at e3 2013?
