Good show 7/10.

That being said XB1 has a 10/10 holiday lineup

7/10 - Good conference, but it dragged on in the middle.

They had 2 new retail exclusive IPs

6/10 for me.

Started off so strong. Ubi, and indie stuff was too long. Controller, Rare collection, Metroid prime game (cannot for the life of me remember the damn name), Gears 4, and Tomb Raider were all stellar.

Maybe my expectations were too high :/

8/10
Backwards compatibility is huge, a true megaton.
This moved them close to winning E3, but sadly, for me, no really big games were revealed. A few exclusives, but no real must-haves. PC modding on XOne sounds interesting, but I never understood the appeal.
There were also the usual suspects (Forza, Halo, Fable, Gears...)
They really should have had at least one of the Gamescom games presented.

Sony has a huge task ahead, but with a couple of megaton games they can claim a victory.

Not counting the Indies, I counted at least two major new pieces of exclusive AAA IP.

I think you were watching a different conference.

Also you should probably check your expectations for Sony. 1-3 significant new IP is standard for both companies' conferences the last few years.

Decent conference but very disappointing because of all Spencer lies and artificial hype.

In term of show and new concepts ( virtual retro and mods) , it was cool, but in term of exclusive games, only 2 announced and one with CGI, not enough time spent on exclusives

That is even more disappointing knowing Scalebound was not there for this...


So 7/10 in term of show and concepts

And 5/10 in term of games

7.5 sounds about right. Finally some gears gameplay.

I did not watch the show so I cant comment on the presentation.

BC is nice, not huge. It was never a big deal when consoles used to have it. But I agree it is a nice to have.

Find it funny after Bloodborne was such a success for Sony, MS is trying to get their name all over Dark Souls 3, again taking the lead from Sony, before Sony sold BB as a must have game MS would never have highlighted a Dark Souls type game.

Too me the biggest new was Mod compatibility for Fallout 4, if Sony cant make it happen on the PS4 it will ensure the better console version is on the XB1 even if performance is better on the PS4. PC gamers must hate this announcement Mods were really the main thing separating PC and console versions of games, if console games start getting the mods all PC gamers will have left is better performance (at a much greater cost).

That was the worst GEARS demo ever, looked bad.
