I think the MAIN gripe I had was the Backward compatibility fiasco. They dropped the fucking ball man. We were being teased like a month before the event, had an employee pull us around by a chain and leading us toward certain conclusions... and idk. It didn't go down how I liked it and that kind of ruined PSX going in.
On paper, you look at the whole thing abstractly and no, the conference wasn't bad - There were some nice new trailers of big games in there, Ni No Kuni 2 looks great and Paragon is definitely interesting. But to me, I'm still thinking about how much better it would've been if we had disc based PS2 emulation. That would have knocked things out of the park, the kind of announcement that really does deserve its own special podium in a major conference. So far Sony has been nearly flawless in their strategy for the 8th generation. They've basically played their competitors to great success. To see them stumble here, right now... I just had my expectations too high.
