First off, you need to educate yourself by listening to Adam Boyes speak about Shenmue III found here:

You know what "doesn't sit well or seem right to me"?  The fact that right before E3 2014, Shenmue III was voted XB1's most requested game:

however Phil Spencer states that that can't fund the game because "it's a Sega game" yet Sony managed to do what MS deemed impossible one year later:

I find it funny that you bash Sony for the same things that made Microsoft successful back in E3 2014.  If the E3 conference isn't done how Microsoft does it, then the competition loses.  Microsoft's E3 2014 conference included COD: Advanced Warefare, Forza Horizon 2, Evolve, Assassins Creed: Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends, Ori and the Blind Forest, Halo MCC, Halo 5 Beta, Inside, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, Phantom Dust, The Division, Scalebound, and Crackdown.  

So Microsoft was praised for a bunch of multiplats, Halo: MCC (Just like Uncharted Collection), and Sunset Overdrive (Tearaway: Unfolded, Persona 5, Until Dawn).  But Halo: MCC is THE BEST remaster ever while Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection is just trying to copy them.  Sunset Overdrive is not niche, but Until Dawn, Persona 5, Tearaway is niche.  Scalebound and Crackdown were awesome CG trailers yet FFVII is just "CG (no gameplay, really?)" Forza looks like the last Forza, "what have they been doing with this title for all of these years?"

So Sony matched everything that Microsoft did back at E3 2014 except they also dropped 3 HUGE bombs.  But Sony's E3 2015 wasn't in the same format as Microsoft's E3 2015 conference, so therefore, they lose.  

After Microsoft's E3 2014 conference:  "It's all about the games!  Did you see how many games they announced for this year and beyond?"

After Microsoft's E3 2015 conference: "What's important now is just the games that are announced this holiday 2015!  I want to know what I can play now and not next year!"

So please tell me, what format is the correct format so we can set things straight.  Is Microsoft's E3 2014 conference the correct format where they show CG trailers and a bunch of multiplats?  Or is it showcasing just the games that are coming this year like what was shown at Microsoft's E3 2015 conference? 

Our idea of "giant bombs" is very different.  Couldn't care less about a FF7 remake.  Have been sick of hearing about the franchise.  Isn't this lame anime FF 15 and FF World coming out before it?  What a joke.  And it is multiplat?  Just do not get why people drool over a simple jrpg.  what is it two years away or so.  zzzz

TLG, looked boring, wasn't a suprise, looks very similar to when it was first revealed, late 2016 at the earliest.  Who cares.  Save it for next e3.  Nostalgic kiddies everywhere.  

Horizon looked dope, but what is that? early 2017?  Who cares.  We will be gaming at 12k on our PC's in 2017. 

Uncharted, cool gameplay video, game looks great and I'll probably get a PS4 when it comes out.  But nothing shocking here.  

Ah yes, the embarrassment that is Shenmue.  Cool they are bringing it back.  But it really is not that big of a deal.  It will just be a continuation of an average story at best.  $30 digital title = little content, short game.  Advertising a kickstarter at E3, just sad.   Might as well start the trend with every AAA release to see if people will buy it before wasting and risking man hours developing.  Basically next-level pre ordering.  Anyone fine with this way of doing business for a company like Sony should stop kidding themselves.
