| ps3-sales! said: I am very disappointed in gamers reactions to PSX; specifically on this site. Between people calling it a huge letdown of a conference to ratings of 2/10 and the likes.... Its honestly a bit ridiculous.
Now, let me preface this by saying you are indeed allowed to have your own opinion. Even if it's wrong. And opinion about a subjective matter can't be wrong. Let me give you guys some knowledge. PSX is not E3. It's not PAX. Its not Tokyo game show. Ect...
PSX is 100% fan service. Its not meant for huge blockbuster game announcements. Frankly, announcing huge games at the start of December's holiday season is a terrible business move that takes attention off the games that are already released and carrying the sales through Christmas. Then make it actually seem like that as well (and to make it clear, I'm talking about the keynote). Don't say stuff like "If we're starting with UC4, imagine what we're gonna show next!" When all you're gonna show next is a bunch of indie games, a bunch of VR stuff and a few trailers for stuff we already knew about. PSX is meant for fun. A cool little in between fan requested event that is supposed to be fun.
If you only watched the 1.5 hour conference on a stream and judge the entire event based off that? You are ignorant. The event is two days jam packed with SO much more than just the conference. You are ignorant if you think the people complaining about the keynote are complaining about the event as a whole. I thought that was pretty obvious? Do you expect us to speak our minds about the rest of the event when we weren't present?
Basically; I'm not trying to attack you guys. Its not really your fault that you are ignorant. But unless you actually come to the event and have a great time with video games all around then you shouldn't look down upon the event with false expectations based off a keynote that you wanted to be like E3. Once again, people aren't complaining about the event as a whole, only the keynote. Even though a thread may say "How do you rate PSX?" it isn't hard to understand that it's the keynote people are talking about. Because that's the thing most of us get to see. We aren't there for the entire thing. We only get to see the keynote. |
Comments are in bold.
Other than that, here's the really simple thing they could've done to make the keynote not dissapointing: Shorten it down. Make it 1 hour instead of 1 hour and 45 minutes. Better yet, make it 30 minutes. Don't have a nearly 2 hour long keynote when you have nothing big to reveal.
