| Rpruett said: I'll consider Microsoft 'winning' something when they announce a game that isn't Halo, Forza, Fable, Gears of War. Seriously - How many E3 conferences can we sit and watch them rehash the same stuff? It's almost as bad as EA with Madden or Activision with Call of Duty. Phantom Dust and Scalebound showed absolutely nothing interesting at this point. Crackdown is a rehash on a very pedestrian game. Fru, Dance Central, Disney Fantasia all looked like your run of the mill Kinect games. Ori and the Blind Forest and Sunset Overdrive actually looked like the only potentially legitimate, interesting titles. So we've got that and a typical yearly Halo, Forza, Fable announcement. Atleast on the Sony side you've got the Order which looks interesting *fresh title*, entwined an interesting indie title, exclusive From Software game *fresh title*, Little Big Planet 3 and Uncharted 4 sequels to some of the highest rated games last generation. Let it Die looked mediocre, but ABZU should be interesting. |
This is what I usually look for in games conferences. I look more for the games that have their own quirks and whatnot. If MS and Sony's conferences were graded based on just that, I'd say Sony won hands down. Entwined, No Man's Sky, and Abzu looked unique in their own ways. Even the existing franchises have their own twists, too, like with LBP's new characters and Uncharted 4's apparently darker tone.
