Nem said: This isnt even a competition. Sony's press conference was one of the most legendary E3 conferences of all time. There is no but's and if's. Last guardian, FF7R and Shenmue 3. Power to the gamers, greatness did come. Backwards compatibility came too late to even make a dent on that. |
I think if people are quoting BC as the news of the show, that kinda shows how boring the other announcements of the show were to them. I thought it was a great PR peice, but it's about the games - new games.... I mean I dont see how anyone can get excited about getting FO4 and getting FO3 last gen for free is that exciting. People knock remasters but playing a game that generally played crap is now suddenly amazing? I loved FO3, but I would rather much prefer a remaster of it than having to play the original again (and I 100% completed it).
It seems people assumed that because of BC, MS were going to get the Won the show comments, and are peeved that Sony did alot for fan service and basically pulled a much better show because of it (even if their 2015 xmas exclusives are wafer thin).
What with the massive 3rd party games dropping from September onwards I dont think Sony have as much to worry about this year compared to last (which to be fair was quite boring in terms of big games), FO4, Battlefront and Mad Max and a few other games is going to make for an awesome xmas, if Sony can get No Mans Sky and some other secondary games to drop, and they have UC collection... dont think it matters that I cannot play Forza, Halo HD, Fable and Gears HD and Tomb Raider, for me it's not really that strong a line up. Tomb Raider is the biggest game out of the lot and it's not bigger than FO4, BF, AC and COD. I'll probably still spend about £250 on games over Xmas, and I know people want to play the numbers games but there are not a lot of people out there who are going to spend over £250 on games. Most people I know who moved from XBox to PS4 buy very few exclusives anyway, and dont buy lots of games.
Sony playing the long game and supporting the console for the year, while MS seem soley focussed on Xmas when really they need to spread their games out because people will buy more 3rd party than 1st at Xmas.
