After the MS conference I did completely expect Sony to look bad...but I was wrong. Not only was Sony's amazing enough to take some wind out of MS's sails, but the revelation that the new Xbox Elite controller is expensive didn't help either...and like many of you said, the backwards compatability would've been better at launch, now it's slightly too little too late seeing as It could be almost 2 years before AAA 360 games are able to be played on XBone but we'll see.

Overall I think Sony by a hair...with the fans of both being the real winners this year :)

I have to say that Microsoft did have a good conference, they finally showed me some stuff that intrigues me, with Sea of Thieves and Recore (I have a bit of a pet peeve because I think it was CG), the BC stuff is cool for sure, not something I think Sony can do because of PS3 having the Cell Processor, but then again I thought you couldn't simulate a RISC Processor on an X86 one, so perhaps Sony can in time.

But Sony delivered, I mean Horizon was utterly amazing, revealed with proper gameplay and it destroyed my expectations, this one has the potential to be Game of the Generation so far for me.
The Last Guardian was utterly amazing.
Media Molcule's Dreams again is wonderful, a game truly only limited by your imagination, a true PS4 title as well, not just a Morpheus title.

Uncharted 4 exceeded the E3 2014 demo and how everything works in the game is just astounding!
Guerrilla Cambridge utterly surprised as well, because no one knew they had a new IP in development, looks really cool (Rig).

Shenmue 3, FF7: Remake actually happening were just juggernauts of announcements.

I'm a little disappointed that Sony hasn't announced anything new for this Fall, I hope they do outside of their conference, but even with that I think most people will agree that Sony has definitely won this E3!



Yeah MS had a solid outing but somehow, some way Sony had TLG, Shenmue 3 and FFVII Remake at the one conference... O_O
Not to mention all the other awesome shit we got from them.



Yeah, it is funny to go back and see the comments in the MS thread about how hey had won E3 after the first 30 mins.

I only noticed that none of them showed Mirror's Edge, so where was the point of making a whole conference anyway?

Microsoft conference was a great one (the backward compatibility being the best thing in the conference). I thought that Sony couldn't beat that, but I was dead wrong. Both had great conference, but imo, Sony was slightly better.



Its insane by how much better the SOny Show was
I mean verendus teased a couple things...things that were just a wishful thinking...but then some really happened

And im pretty sure they didn't show everything they could have showed.
Level 5 was missing even though they promised to be there and cause MS didn't show QB and Scalebound they probably saved something too for Gamescom.

Awwwwww, don't spoil it. I wanted to watch it tonight :(
Now you alrady spoiled the climax of the show.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I've grown weary of the competition aspect of E3 over the last couple of years, much like GOTY it's all a bit too much hoo hah just so fans can claim their company is the best. Frankly, if your system of choice announces something that pleases you, that should be enough to make with the happy. :)

MS conference was solid, no doubt about it.

But having 3 of the most wished vapor ware games showcased on your floor(Okay 1 of them is 1st party) and making them into a reality, is just huge.

MS didn't do anything wrong, Sony just pulled a rabbit (or 3) out of its hat.
