Let me just preclude this by saying I own a PS4. There is this nagging feeling I can’t shake off after what I’ve seen these last 12 hours. (half of which I slept, but I still got to see everything)
What I felt after seeing the Sony conference is this. Games that were shown, vast majority of them, look very dark, too tech-driven, almost to the point of being mentally ill. Others look too pretentious and experimental. This is in stark contrast to Microsoft’s vibrant and fun-loving presentation of games. (for the most part)
There isn’t any joy I felt watching Sony’s games, there weren’t any laughs, no uplifting use of color or music. This, to me, is games going in the wrong direction. A sobering reminder that going more mature can result in the loss of the essence of life, of fun.
Anyone feel the same when they compare the two conferences? Or feel similar, and want to elaborate?
