Totally agree! Backwards compatible was a huge megaton announcement downplayed by Sony fans. It was the biggest announcement of e3 to me! It also makes games with gold better than PS plus because all games come to one system and are not diced up like plus. Fully agree on the Sony conference except for horizons. To me it looked gorgeous but not sold on the planet of the apes with robots, just doesn't get me excited. Ms won ,  holo lens look amazing with the Minecraft demo , personally more excited for this than regular vr. Microsoft seems to always get downplayed by gamers when it comes to there e3 conferences. If they had the conference that Sony had  people would have seen how lack luster it really was!

Not even clows. It doesn't matter if Sony didn't fund it. It doesn't matter if you thought it was boring. It doesn't matter if the remake isn't exclusive. It's three games people wanted so much that they entered meme status, and they showed them. Galaxy 3 isn't memetic, Prime 4 both isn't memetic and isn't happening, and BG&E2 isn't on the same level as any of those three. There aren't enough games of that caliber left to have the same impact.

They didn't annouce a game they announced a kick starter. It was really lame.

I think Sony's 2015 conference is arguably the best E3 conference we have ever seen in terms of announcements.

Yeah that's why I don't understand how sony could have won e3 I mean microsoft and nintendo had games like horizon, dreams (that looks so amazing) and don't forget uncharted 4 (despite the problem start) it was a good decision for microsoft and nintedo to do that in the end.

Edit: So I looked it up and it seems that even those games I listed where shown at sony's e3 as exclusives o_o if that is correct then screw it sony won, hands down.

But it is a game that is coming, it is more tangible now thanks to the event and got the fans involved.... 

Sony are funding it as far as I know, just not the whole thing. I think the idea behind the kickstarter was to allow the fans to feel involved with the whole process from the vocal groups that called for the sequel and then bring them and others on board to make them feel like they truely gave life to the project and carried it through to completion.

In fairness the money they got for the Kickstarter is nothing in game-finance terms... 

If Sony wanted to they could have funded it no problem IMO. 

This. From the console producers Sony dominated the competition, and honestly IMO that is not even up for debate. When it comes to massive surprises, it boils down to SE. They have a lot to prove, but IMO they started down the right path.

I think there is probably an age issue going on in the thread.... with 25+ year olds leaning towards it being the greatest show ever and those younger than that not really understanding the big deal about FF7, Shenmue and TLG.... 

But I still think Horizon was my game of show. 

Without a doubt Sony.

I clicked Nintendo thinking I would be the only one.... Damn.

Really though, Sony hands down.
