Forums - Gaming - Powers part of Sony E3 conference was "a mistake", says Yoshida

Exactly what he said. Showing non gaming things related to the PS4 was not a mistake. They just spent too much time on that and showed it in a not very compelling way, with nervous guys talking.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

It's fine, Sony! Just don't screw up next year........ or else..

Good for him for acknowledging the mistake.

That being said, "Powers" was far from the only issue with the show. It was overlong, poorly paced, and tedious. There were some highlights -- Far Cry, Arkham Knight, the surprise reveal of Grim Fandango -- but mostly it was a slog to get through.

My advice to Yoshida, a man I respect a lot, is this: streamline the presentation. Make it simpler, make it shorter, make it more surprising, and, instead of distracting us with cinematic trailers and CGI video, explain to us what makes your games worth playing.

Glad they realize that, a single misstep like that is always what sticks out in people's minds unfortunately so they'll forget how well things were going until that point and after it. A pretty good conference turns into "terrible" pretty quickly and easily.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it "terrible", but it definitely went from being very good to mediocre. But you're right about a single misstep souring an entire conference.

This makes zero sense.

why would anyone give him a reward ?

Yoshida has been upfront about stuff regarding Playstation since the start of this Gen.

Meanwhile, The phil harisson has been worshipped for fixing the obvious problems with Xb1 and Iwata just for basically being there.

Seriously, give credit where its due. People are too busy calling Sony arrogant that they can't hear when they apologize for their mistakes.

Talking about the Ratchet and Clank movie was a waste of time too.

that was one of the best parts!  Especially when they revealed the remake/reimagining just afterwards

no they revealed plenty and filled up whatever length it was without that part with content that was interesting but thier new SCEA president sucks at public speaking and they should just have House handle E3 until he either gets as smooth as Jack or close to it or gets fired lol
