I tend to agree with his lack of hype on this one.

Sony did the same for PSX last year by announcing a more in depth look at some titles with a more casual discussion around it. Then everyone complained it sucked, but to be fair, they did warn.

Now for E3 they have done exactly the same. I know that usually I would wake up at 3am every year to watch the conference, but this year for the first time in a long time I'll just sleep through it and read the news in the morning.

Well no, its not the same. Was it disappointing? sure, but they never said it was going to be a conference. In fact the presentation was advertised as an addition to having a ticket, rather than previously when it was advertised as its own thing.  

E3 isnt only for fans... many ppl seem to forget this. Its conferences that are designed for journalists too. Sony isnt going to have some casual discussion for the biggest marketing event of the year. 

If they do then shame on them but after the reception PSX17 got, Im surprised anyone thinks its going to be similar. PSX is different... its a fan orientated event so the change in their presentation was something they gambled would work. Are you expecting Ubisoft to also have this casual talk even though they have also announced the games you can expect to see at their event?

But maybe Im wrong. 

Sony themselves said they are going to mostly focus on those 4 exclusives with in depth details on them.

Nothinf wrong with that in of itself as I'm quite excited for all of those games. But I know I will buy them, so I can pretty much skip this. 

 

Sure, they will present some 3rd party titles as well, but the way they played it down really seems to indicate no big surprises are coming. My only focus on that will be whatever From Software will show, but again, I already know it's coming. 

 

So yeah, a bit dehyped as I don't expecf big announcements as well as no hardware talks will happen
