I have a hard time being mad about it. I like a great show. Even if it takes a long time before releasing i can at least enjoy the show for what it was. But at the same time i think that games should be unveiled closer to their release.
I think one of the major reasons why it took Sony this long to release these games is because game development has changed this gen to be 1 year longer than usual for AAA games. However if you look at ghost of tsushima announcement and the release dates for detroit, spider-man and god of war they said they wanted to relay that information closer to launch now so there is a good chance Ghost of Tsushima comes out next year just like Bloodborne was also announced at E3 2014 and came out march 2015.

Sony gave us great shows in 2015 and 2016, but that came with a catch. 

E3 2017 had trailers all from previously shown games, with almost nothing new. E3 2018 is also looking to be more of the same, because all their major first and second party studios games have all been announced long before, or just came out. They will waste time Days Gone for the third E3 in a row.

I certainly prefer to have a few surprise announcements, but that’s not the only way to surprise people or provide an exciting show. I’d rather see awesome new footage of an already-announced awesome game than see a world premiere for a turd.

I was admittedly disappointed with Sony’s 2017 E3, but for my taste, I’ll still take their showings over those for MS/XBO (and even Nintendo, albeit to a lesser degree). I do think Sony is being more careful about their announcements due to some of the criticism they’ve received, but whether they announce ps4 exclusives too early or not, they have a steady stream of high quality exclusives, and that’s what I care about the most.
